Block them then...

quest users can apparently see my dynamic bones...?
@soft timber Quest users can use an oculus link cable and play the PC version. They will see everything, and if you ask them what headset they’re using they will still say quest.

#

I got that a lot - people assuming I couldn’t see stuff when I said I use a quest

soft timber
#

No, I meant quest users could see an avatar I uploaded jiggling around.

Like, not Quest users using PCVR, but quest users using the mobile version

#

I wish I had someone using the quest client recording it because I’m surprised people point it out

languid beacon
#

Quest client can’t have dynamic bones. They were either on PCVR or misunderstood what they were meant to be seeing

soft timber
#

I’m pretty sure they were quest users... Their platform thing under their usernames were highlighted green, and it was a cross-platform world

#

But eh, can’t exactly show what I mean

languid beacon
#

Quest can see regular bone animations just fine

#

There are ways to get effects similar to dynamic bones that quest can see

soft timber
#

ah, so mightve accidentally done that then

languid beacon
#

I’m not sure if quest avatars can have spring joints but they are a decent replacement to dynamic bones on PC

#

In some situations

brave vector
#

Why cant I see my fav worlds?

try exit vrchat and open it again~

Menus take a bit to load

So I've seen a girl Kaneki avatar (from Tokyo Ghoul) online, does anyone have it or know where I can get it? I'm on quest so it makes it hard

I've been at it for hours trying to find a dang GlaDOS avatar but I can't find any

Can someone help me I'm running a 3090 just recently after getting off vr and going to desktop vrc running on 10-12 fps but for other games it's running perfectly fine like detroit and RD2 with about 240 fps constant but just vrc being weird about it I have tried restarting pc, reinstall vrc, reset pc but idk it ain't working

ruby needle
#

3090 cirBaka

#

VRChat will mainly be limited by your CPU and the general content, a big difference between this game and others is that the content in this game is made by users and often awfully optimized.

#

Tho, if i understand you right you are playing the game, going to desktop (with steam vr?) and then back into the game?

#

Because there is a bug (with Steam VR) that is causing that 10fps issue.

ornate beacon
#

i keep timing out and disconnecting from vrc? Would anyone know why?

ruby needle
#

bad network connection / routing.

ornate beacon
#

my internet is fine with anything except vrc

ruby needle
#

The specific routing to the server's location might not be as great.

languid beacon
#

I just saw it happen.

Anybody down to play vrchat😂

#

@ornate beacon do you play any other online games? Your normal internet is pretty good at hiding occasional drops in internet connectivity - VRChat boots you out after a somewhat short wait

sharp hull
#

Anyone wanna meet up in vr??

#

Anybody down to play vrchat😂

who pingeth me?

ionic olive
#

Hey which room do I go to get some help w/ my VRchat?? It's not loading into my Home room or any other room

dim sparrow
#

I've had that issue

#

Sometimes a restart of the game works for me

#

Not promising anything tho lol

ionic olive
#

I literally don't know what to do, I've restarted the game MUTIPLE times, I've unistalled and reinstalled, I've cleared my cache on steam and in VRchat, I've even went as far as to make a new account and nothing

#

nothing is helping

dim sparrow
#

Hmm ok yeah that's beyond my understanding

#

Have you tried the tech support but of this channel

#

Bit I meant

vocal shard
#

fix the /0b world loading issue

ionic olive
#

how

#

since the last update, I haven't been able to do anything

vocal shard
#

vrchat moment

ionic olive
#

????

vast wolf
#

just me or can anyone else not login?

ionic olive
#

I can login, but I'm so frustated with this issue i'm having

vast wolf
#

can you even click the login button?

ionic olive
#

yeah

vast wolf
#

oh lmao read that wrong

#

but yeah atleast you can get in the game

ionic olive
#

not really

#

It's not even loading me into home anymore

vast wolf
#

?

ionic olive
#

just this room with a screen that says "We're sorry! Something went wrong" and tells me to go to a link that doesn't exist

vast wolf
#

bruh

ionic olive
#

so I figured someone in here could help me. but I literally don't even know. the link looked like it was trying to go vrchat discord

vocal shard
#

This is the vrchat discord

vast wolf
#

maybe you set your home to something and they deleted the world

#

idk but imma go make a ticket

ionic olive
#

i'm aware this is the vrchat discord

vocal shard
#

I might not be able to help but is it in VR or desktop mode this is happening?

ionic olive
#

yeah, I don't have a vr

vocal shard
#

Yeah I do but active window selection causes that to happen in vr sometimes. Since you are on desktop... im not sure what would cause that other than a device (perhaps a gamepad) possibly taking control of your vrchat from your mouse/keyboard?

ionic olive
#

i only use mouse/keyboard

dry rune
#

can you add people without them in your world? like i crashed and i was talking to this really nice person and i’m just mad ahha. i have their username

vocal shard
#

You can add people from a vrchat webpage if you login yeah

dry rune
#

alright

vocal shard
#

@ionic olive have you tried forcing desktop mode either by runtime options or holding shift while starting vrchat?

dry rune
#

i sent them a friend request before i left hopefully they accepted aaaa

ionic olive
#

yeah, that doesn't work

vocal shard
#

Hmmmmmmm, Yeah im clueless on this one... I am sorry.

I've been playing VRChat on my PC for a while, is there a way to port my steam friends to the Oculus Quest 2 version of VRChat?

well thanks for trying 🤷‍♀️

yoooo sup guys, anyone wanna become friends? 🙂

I'm kind of aggravated with this.

So when do we get the fix for the audio issue? Aka, since 3 weeks now, the owner of an instance is cursed with chopped audio, and that gets transmitted to the next owner (it's pretty consistent...)

vocal shard
#

Hello, I'm new and wondering where I d go to locate custom avatar creators?

hearty drum
#

Hey all! Just out of curiosity, how much content/time do you generally have to make/spend in VRChat to publish a world to Community Labs? I've made a couple "live action" horror maze maps and some characters, now I'm working on a VR theme park that I hope to make public, but I don't have enough trust yet!

vocal shard
#

Depends on how much time you like exploring really

Are space movers against the tos or are they allowed?

umbral reef
#

Space movers are allowed as they do not edit VRchat files.
All they do is give different tracking data to SteamVR whats fine.

Hi everyone hope you all are doing well. In this time of uncertainty and isolation, I want to make a documentary in how people are moving to VR Chat to socialise during the pandemic. This would be a documentary for my final year project for university. I'm a 22-year-old student in the UK studying television and I need your help. If you have a story about how VR CHAT has changed your life during the pandemic then send me a message. If you have any questions don't be afraid to message me. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Yes

#

Absolutly, especially if you told them not to .

#

You sadly will need to provide some prove as the team wont be able to follow them around to investigate. 😦

with video evidence

#

and you can lower bitrates on popular recording / streaming apps like OBS

Just has to be good enough to see and hear what's happening

Sadly we have to ask to not name shame users openly.

#

Despite how bad he may be, it's still best to keep it confidential and sent to the moderation team

It's still worth sending a report. Atleast get the person on their radar

when you open the menu under safety

I'm taking someone around VRC and am looking for worlds with adrenaline or excitement that you can jump into for 5 mins without knowing a lot about them. Good example: Meat Grinder (show up and start running), Bad Example: Fighter Jet piloting (great but takes too much practice). Anyone got any favourites or spectacular ideas?

sharp saddle
#

Are you looking for worlds with a gimmick or a social area?

dark cave
#

More gimmick I think. We'll go to some social worlds after. I'm going to check out roller coasters but might be a little sickening for a newbie.

#

rohiulx - thanks I'll check that out!

sharp saddle
#

Hmm...

dark cave
#

I'm about to logon and type in "racing" in the search...and I've heard of boxing worlds but never seen them and hard to imagine how that could work.

sharp saddle
#

Udon.

#

A lot of Udon worlds have unique things in them.

dark cave
#

That's a good idea. I'll try that. Doesn't narrow it down much but it's a good idea 😉

sharp saddle
#

Udon Alpha Spotlight has a lot of options.

#

There's also the Spookality worlds.

dark cave
#

Yeah that's good, I have not checked hardly any of the Spookality ones, I'll try that.

#

Thank you.

sharp saddle
#

o/

#

Are you new to VRC too?

dark cave
#

I've been on a few months, maybe 70 hours. But a lot of times it was in the same room with a few others. So I have a schedule for great social worlds I've found and some asmr that I've experienced and some for sort of exploring (natural forest) but not much in the way of adrenaline or excitement because I don't usually go to those.

blazing adder
#

Ok so, when did VRC start becoming a daycare? Like within the past few sessions me and my friends have run to at least a few kids every map.
I get the devs want the game to be public and open to everyone, but whats to stop some troll from going up to a child and creeping on them? And yes I know there are safety options, but if you turn them all one then whats the point of playing? Just seems really annoying when you're trying to chill with random people and then you have screaming cringey kids in your map. smh

dark cave
#

I think they way it works for a lot of us is you find a few friends, then join them in friends-only worlds. Then you meet friends of friends and maybe later join them. That's why so many people I meet are always in private friends-only worlds. They're not all a bunch of erpers...

I was trying to friend someone else and they got in the way

ik u said accidently

this is getting awkward sorry

no its fine

I just dont know why people like that have to ruin the game

#

as soon as I noticed, I went on the website and blocked them

eternal jackal
#

Yeah it just rude when people say and do inappropriate things

spice crystal

agreed.

how do you report someone (im sorry im new)

theres a person shouting really racist things in the game im in

so i had my old account and it was tiltedtoaster i want it to be 1plus2 so i made another account named it 1plus2 and realized that i can change names so i changed my second account to 1plus2alt and i went back to my original account and tried to change my name to 1plus2 and its "taken" when no account is using it. someone help please

could someone try to help?

This audio bug is annoying. I've had to restart vrc 4 times now bc peoples audio keeps cutting out. I can still hear the world music/noises but not people

sharp saddle
#

@slow ermine You can still rank up with your Steam account. o_O

spice crystal
#

People I thought were good turned out to show their true colors

#

im sorry

west yoke
#

@slow ermine Something to at least note. There's a difference between Username and Display name, so changing your "name" shouldn't change the username (unless something was changed recently)
Basically means the name you used previously to make the account has to be used for login, you can alternatively try your email.

spice crystal
#

Like I thought I made friends tonight but, nah.

#

did alot of blocking.

slow ermine
#

no account is using the name i should be able to change it

sharp saddle
#

So... wait. What're you trying to do? o_O

slow ermine
#

im so confusedd

sharp saddle
#

Me too. o_O

#

Oh, I see now. You can merge your Steam account into the "1plus2alt" account but will have to wait 90 days to change the name back.

#

That's where you messed up.

#

The account 1plus2 exists is why.

real cosmos
#

So, is VRChat still broken in terms of 3.0 avatars animations and facial expressions?

sharp saddle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@sharp saddle Artemus

#

i logged on to my other account went back onto my account i use and all my stuff is gone

#

sharp saddle
#

o_O

#

Which account did you log into?

#

And did you merge them?

slow ermine
#

nope no merge at all

sharp saddle
#

Okay. So which account do you mostly use?

slow ermine
#

my steam

honest ore
#

What vr set do you recommend I get for steam vr and vrchat

sharp saddle
#

@honest ore What're your PC specs?

honest ore
#

Oh shit I forgot about that..

#

Welp I’m not home yet I’ll check it later

#

I’ll ask again later on

sharp saddle
#

@slow ermine Your friends and whatnot are still there, it's a weird glitch when you log out and into another account without closing the client. Once you relaunch the client all your stuff will return.

honest ore
#

Btw if my pc specs match all of them will I be able to use rift S or Rift for vrchat?

sharp saddle
#

Depends. Do you have a (mini-)DisplayPort and a USB 3.0 port?

honest ore
#

I heard from my friends that if you play vrchat with rift s you can’t see avatars or people

broken plover
#

then your friends told you bs

#

they probably mixed it up with the oculus quest, but even there you can see avatars and people. You're just limited to quest compatible avatars

honest ore
#

Oh

#

Btw what’s the difference between quest and rift?

Quest has mobile hardware in it so it doesn't need a PC to play VR games while the Rift doesn't and requires a PC.
Though as you can imagine the Quest experience isn't as good, at least for VRChat.

crimson apex
#

Quest experience is fine for what It is, I really love it on the quest 2 and I'm really waiting for the quest 2 update to come out. I do have a pc but it doesn't like my quest 2 at the moment and honestly I haven't minded the version of VrChat on quest 2, runs better then my pc sometimes

#

If I could say anything about it I'd call it the most convenient way to play VRChat for most situations and it's a good fall back for situations like you are waiting for your pc to boot up or your game crashes on pc and you want to hop back in immediately

west yoke
#

Well yeah PCVR requires a fairly good PC. And for Quest (2) it's best to have a GPU with a decent encoder if playing on PC.

crimson apex
#

I have a good enough pc for vr, just something happened once I tried the quest 2 since I owned the original one and everything was fine then

#

Might just have to fix my settings or something

#

Honestly haven't really bothered too with how nice the experience is on quest now other then all the kids running around that shouldn't be playing the game

#

I find it baffling how parents can see 4-5 warnings that you need to be 13+ for the quest system and just completely ignore it and give their kid their Facebook info and then most likely complain later about what their kid was up to like they didn't cause it

west yoke
#

indeed

zealous inlet
#

has anyone tried the Reverb G2 in VRChat?

vocal shard
#

No. Just watched a bunch of reviews

zealous inlet
#

ya me too

#

looking to buy it as my first VR headset

crimson apex
#

I need to get into watching more reviews for vr headsets, and hope that it goes well as your first vr headset !

zealous inlet
#

cheers, just worried about the lack of capacitive touch

broken plover
#

Thrillseeker said if you want to play vrchat then the g2 isnt really the right option

zealous inlet
#

unfortunately I can't get the index as I live in Aus

#

and Quest 2 is a no go for me

crimson apex
#

Why so? All the Facebook junk?

zealous inlet
#

yeah

crimson apex
#

That's completely understandable

#

I really only went for it cause I enjoyed the original quest and they kinda already had all my info anyways so I was screwed no matter what

zealous inlet
#

doubled down heh

crimson apex
#

Yeah kinda stuck with the hand I'm given too since while I do have an alright pc for vr I don't have one good enough for any of the other vr headsets

zealous inlet
#

quest 2 seems like a good compromise if you can get over the FB shit

#

and your PC not up to scratch etc

crimson apex
#

Quest 2 really only has two major flaws in my eyes, all the Facebook junk and then how short the cord is

vocal shard
#

I think the G2 will get some community bindings soon. Likely using the thumbstick for gestures same as cosmos

crimson apex
#

The quest 2 head strap isn't as bad as everyone said it is, at least to me it's not

vocal shard
#

Yeah the quest 2 cable is basically made to ensure you buy a new one

crimson apex
#

I bought a cheaper usbc to usbc cable

vocal shard
#

Mhmm

crimson apex
#

I'm not spending $80

#

I don't use link anyways for vr so I'm not giving zucc more money for something I'll never use

zealous inlet
#

fair enough

crimson apex
#

I just stick with virtual desktop since I have really good internet

#

I'm sad tho that the other straps that oculus offers apparently suck since I really wanted the one with the battery pack on the side

#

Not really into spending $100 on a strap but I was willing to if it meant I could last longer off the charging cable with my overclocking and stuff turned on

fierce stream
#

someone play? i play wuth keyboard

honest ore
#

now i'm confused if quest or quest 2 is better...

vocal shard
#

Quest 2 is almost a straight upgrade

honest ore
#

does quest 2 also have a mobile CPU?

vocal shard
#

Yes. More powerful

harsh star
#

It's made very cheap material-wise.

vocal shard
#

Higher resolution screens and higher refresh rate

#

But yeah the outside plastic isn't as nice quality

harsh star
#

every single thing software and hardware is so very worth it

honest ore
#

I saw a quest not 2 thats about $399 which is only used for 10 minutes. includes the USB cable batteries controllers?

#

So i'm wondering whether i should get quest or quest 2 to save some money.

vocal shard
#

The quest 2 is $299 new

honest ore
#

in USD?

harsh star
#

it's incredibly weak and it's not very pleasant to use, the original. but some people learn to like it after a while

vocal shard
#

Yeah

honest ore
#

Well shit means its 500+ for me

#

the lowest i can find for quest 2 is 499 SGD which is my currency

tidal holly
#

can someone make me an avatar for free plz?

honest ore
#

maybe its better off just getting the rift..

harsh star
#

I think it'd be better to save up more for the new model.

honest ore
#

yeah i think you're right

dark pebble
#

Is there a vr set that had vrchat programmed into it? I'm looking for a recommendation.

heavy fjord
#

What gpu's do you guys have? I need to run VRChat at 40% res in order not to lag without having anyones avatar restricted

#

Back in 2018 when I had the original Vive I could run everything fine at 100% and a gtx 1070

obsidian tide
#

1060, using an index.

#

Running alright, but I'm really looking forward to my new parts coming.

heavy fjord
#

Thats really weird :/

vocal shard
#

3080, rift S
running fine until I go to a populated public instance

broken plover
#

then you need an i9 10900k to not lag in populated public's

obsidian tide
#

I really haven't played much yet, and haven't been to any densely populated places yet.

#

Ah. My CPU's decent, got an i7 4770k.

heavy fjord
#

Rn I'm only able to use my second pc with a 970 and i7 4790k

#

4.8ghz oc

Huh...

#

That shouldn't be that bad at all.

a ryzen 3 3300x is faster than that btw. Crazy how fast cpu's got

Heyo, I got a question for PCVR users

Can you use PC avatars using PCVR headsets, and if you can does bone dynamics work? I haven't a clue which chat to ask this in though I'd like some suggestions on headsets that can work with avatars with higher quality

heavy fjord
#

That shouldn't be that bad at all.
@obsidian tide exactly that why I think its weird

#

40% res looks quite bad and its hard to read stuff

obsidian tide
#

Yeah... I played No man's sky in VR just when I got myheadset recently.

#

that was at 61% resolution, an that was hard to read with...

heavy fjord
#

Imagine 40% :D

obsidian tide
#

40% is...

#

But then I hope you're running at more than 15-20 FPS, and less than a quarter second of input lag.

heavy fjord
#

40% is just stable 90hz

obsidian tide
#

Ah, ok.

#

Still, though.

#

I'm really wondering why it's struggling that hard.

#

Have you tried changing the animations and particles and stuff, and seeing if that makes a difference?

heavy fjord
#

I just wanna see people's pretty models 🙃

west yoke
#

Did you at least try DDU

heavy fjord
#

Whats that

west yoke
#

Display Driver Uninstaller

heavy fjord
#

I never heard of that so probably not, does it improve performance?

west yoke
#

It can help, doesn't mean it will. It basically uninstalls the GPU drivers completely so for reinstalling GPU drivers to ensure said drivers aren't causing an issue it's ideal.

obsidian tide
#

Worth a shot, I'd say.

heavy fjord
#

Okay so recap:
Run DDU
Reinstall GPU Drivers
Profit?

west yoke
#

3rd step might happen

#

might not

heavy fjord
#

Ill give it a shot

timid trench
#

I did it! I finally was able to play vrchat for the first time the other day

#

That was so much fun😔

#

But now I have to wait for my actual pc to ship

obsidian tide
#

At least my PC can handle some of the less demanding VR games.

#

Really looking forward to my lenses getting here, though. My glasses are slightly too wide, and presses up against my face. And I'm too nearsighted to see properly or read without them...

#

Almost considering trying contact lenses just for this.

You can't check your email without your dad helping?

Hi all, having a problem with microphone here. I've tried going through the guides and resources available online to no avail. I'm reaching out here as a kind of last resort.

 The mic/audio interface I use works with discord, audacity, ableton, literally everything else except VRchat.  I have tried routing through voicemeter banana as well and it also doesn't pick anything up.   Even though all the aforementioned apps work with voice meter routing as well.   I have tried running VRchat as admin, and changing the sample rate from 44.1 khz to 48 as well.
obsidian tide
#

What interface are you using?

mortal vessel
#

Phonic Helix Board 12 Firewire MKii

#

So the interface does show up as something selectable

#

just no sound, but even so, it won't hear the voicemeter routing either

rigid dove
#

i had the problem that i couldnt talk but then i just changed my mic in the vrchat settings

mortal vessel
#

It does work with my very old logictech webcam, but that quality is so low

obsidian tide
#

How does it connect to the PC?

mortal vessel
#

firewire

obsidian tide
#

It might be that VRchat just doesn't play well with that way of interfacing...

#

Duh, I'm an idiot. 😛

mortal vessel
#

even so, why wouldn't it pickup a voicemeter routing

#

it shouldn't have a problem with that, right?

obsidian tide
#

Have you tried seeing if you can get voicemeter to work with another form of input?

onyx laurel
#

you need to install drivers for voicemeeter

mortal vessel
#

Actually yes voicemeter does work when routed through the logictech webcam

#

😐

obsidian tide
#

So you're saying that VRchat can detect audio from voicemeeter that originates from your webcam, but not your mic through the helix board? And that voicemeeter plays nice with both sources for other uses outside of VRchat?

#

Because if so, I'm not even gonna pretend to have a clue what's going on.

rigid dove
#

anyone can help me with the email thing maybe?

mortal vessel
#

Yes exactly thats' what I'm saying.

#

And my interface plays nice with literally everything else

#

discord, audacity, web browsers

#

i still use it to record music

obsidian tide
#

As far as I know, voicemeter doesn't send much info through about what's on the other side of it, though?

#

Like, as far as any application recieving audio from it is concerned, voicemeter is generating the audio by itself?

gentle cradle
#

Try running it through nvidia's rtx instead. Voicemeeter was always wonky for me

hot copper
#

hey uh

#

can you play VR Chat on a Chromebook

#

Chromebooks suck

obsidian tide
#

Uh. Pretty sure it can technically run it.

#

Can't imagine you'd get much out of it.

#

VR would obviously not be a possibility.

hot copper
#

ah frick I knew it

#

Chromebooks are literally useless when it comes to gaming

obsidian tide
#

Sorry dude.

hot copper
#

Hey it's not your fault man

obsidian tide
#

And bigpo, I'm not really sure there's much that any of us here can do.

rigid dove
#

can i make a new account and still have my known user role?

#

probabaly not because i dont have the tagline anymore

obsidian tide
#

Yeah, probably not.

#

But why do you have so many accounts you're using your dads email in the first place?

#

What's wrong with the one using your normal email?

rigid dove
#

i couldnt log into it i think

#

imma make a new account

obsidian tide
#

Don't use someone elses email this time. It always causes problems.

rigid dove
#

but nnow i dont have my tagline

obsidian tide
#

Can I ask how old you are?

rigid dove
#

13

obsidian tide
#

Best advice I can give you is try to recover your account on your own email. If you can't do that, make a new email, but make sure you don't end up losing the login to that email account.

#

And make sure you have a password you can remember.

#

And don't do stupid stuff that puts others in control of your account.

rigid dove
#

its not sending anyone an email

vocal shard
rigid dove
#

oh ok thx

obsidian tide
#

Because it kinda sounds like the reason you're losing accounts like that is because you're doing something wrong, to be honest.

rigid dove
#

it all about that sending emails stuff

#

im definetly doing something wrong

gentle cradle
#

Chromebooks are literally useless at everything except Google docs lol

vocal shard
#

now that's just wrong

#

you can watch youtube videos too

obsidian tide
#

Just not too high resolution or framerate.

rigid dove
#

ok i madde my ticket

How dose hand tracking work on vr chat for the quest 2

If you mean the camera based hand tracking, it doesn't

normal controller tracking.

Hey, I am about to get an oculus quest 2, and i wanted to know how bad vrchat runs on quest 2 ahead of time.

gentle cradle
#

You can't go to any worlds or see any avatars that aren't specifically made for quest.

Not worth it imo.

Have to use garbage avatars when my quest buds are on and I just wish that I could buy them all real vr Instead lol.

ruby needle
#

"garbage" well, that is if you dont care about actually putting in efford on making a good quest avatar.

#

Quest content absolutly doesn't have to look like trash at all.
Sure, if you expect auto decimation to nail it for you, then you are very wrong.
If you actually put in efford to decimate, eventually retopologize and use techniques like normal mapping and such, you can get really great looking avatars below 10k.

You also have a fully portable VR setup to use anywhere, and you can use it with a PC aswell if you want to. (Even wireless with third party software.)
Quest / Quest2 are absolutly great devices.

#

anyone else getting a weird log in loop were you just get the loading noise and then once every 20 sec you get it popping up for a quarter of a second with a cancel button ? and anyone know how to fix ive tried to restart and uninstall

royal coyote
#

thanks, the reason im getting a quest 2 is bc my pc is crap

#

if my pc could run vr i would be getting an index or an odyssey+

lone sonnet
#

NVM it was my vpn apperantly

unreal verge
#

Most avatars on Quest i saw are above 30k polygons and stuff. My main avatar on Quest even has over 100k but i mainly play on PC anyways and rarely on Quest VRChat itself.

crimson apex
#

I've seen some beautiful quest avatars, it kinda irks me when people hate on quest avatars just because they don't want to work around the limitations

soft timber
#

ruh roh ive been having object desync issues and in a murder 2 game and people think it’s a client </3

#

i should probably report it to the canny

crimson apex
#

That just happens to older instances in murder 2

unreal verge
#

I don't even know any mods which would work in game worlds lol. Usually Mods have an anti-cheat built-in. But they're forbidden anyways so...

soft timber
#

yeah its just a bit discouraging because im trying to explain it to the people in the instance but they aren’t bothering to listen to me and threatening to mass report me

crimson apex
#

Well don't be annoying about it most people know that it's just something that happens in older instances all the time or when a mass of people join

unreal verge
#

Let them do it, to report someone of using mods you need Video evidence

#

And just because some things aren't synced properly isn't enough proof

crimson apex
#

Murder 2 loses sync after a while or when too many people join

unreal verge
#

That's good to know

#

But i can understand that people may get confused by that if they don't

#

Most of my friend list uses mods and anything that could allow cheating in games is disabled in worlds tagged as games. At least from the ones i know.

crimson apex
#

If you think someone is using a client don't annoy everyone in the server, if you have a good enough reasoning and physically see someone using a client maliciously then report them

#

And also probably shouldn't expose your friends that have clients

unreal verge
#

Unfortunately i don't have a feeling that it will do something. We've some really annoying guy in our German worlds which is exploiting the shit out of the game. He can crash you through your safety settings, de-sync your game so you get kicked out of the world and even steal your login by portal-dropping you but reporting him never did anything.

crimson apex
#

You have report and you could always make a ticket about it too, not much more you can do other then that

unreal verge
#

He also has like thousands of Bots

crimson apex
#

Sorry that it's happening

unreal verge
#

Which can follow you through worlds

crimson apex
#

I would highly recommend making a ticket

unreal verge
#

Yeah, they did

#

I know someone who has to use 3 clients to protect himself of him because that guy targets him

gentle cradle
#

Re: earlier -
Not everyone has the ability to make avatars... much less spend hours making optimized ones specifically for their 3 specific friends on quest.

When I say quest isnt ideal, you gotta look around specifically for premade stuff and it's hard enough finding things that aren't toothbrushes or half naked girls anyway, much less ones that are quest compatible. Then they can't join you half the time ANYWAY when the rest of the group is in pc only worlds. That's why it's garbage.

a great deal of my quest friends play desktop anyway because they want to... play with their friends and see their avatars more than trying to peer pressure everyone into making special accommodation for them -all- the time.

crimson apex
#

Well they could always block them too and just avoid them as much as possible, not smart fighting fire with fire cause it could result in them getting banned too

unreal verge
#

Blocking that guy doesn't do anything, he still can crash you and see you

ruby needle
#

The thing many PC players fail to understand is, quest people will build a friendbase around other quest people within which cmopatibility is no isue.
@gentle cradle

crimson apex
#

I don't really believe that's a good take on quest stuff

ruby needle
#

The new beta with the automatic scaling robot's is also finally going to heavily improve experience when there is blocked content around.

unreal verge
#

I play occasionally on Quest, but i don't ask my friends to use quest avatars in this time. If i can get on the PC i connect my Quest with it.

ruby needle
#

Ocassinally is very different again aswell then running full quest.
If you build your enviroment around quest people and communities, you wont have the "big seek" issues. cirComfy

#

Maybe it even makes sense to use a separate account just for the quest

#

to separate friendbases.

crimson apex
#

Most quest players could really care less if we can't see pc avatars, it sucks but what can you do. However if it's possible it's really nice when people do bring their stuff to quest.

unreal verge
#

And no one in german worlds literally plays on Quest unfortunately. Either via Desktop or PCVR. Really hard to find german quest people.

crimson apex
#

Kinda tiring seeing people constantly hate on quest when they've never played on it before for a lot of them. Not everyone can afford a pc and even if they can not everyone wants to drop the money for one, the quest version is pretty much fine and honestly great for what it is. It pushes the original quest to its limit and playing on quest 2 is great. Kind of dumb to hate on something just because you have to work a little more for it and it's missing things that don't break or completely change the experience.

unreal verge
#

The funny thing is that Quest only avatars which PC can't see are mostly more advanced in terms of avatar features than Cross-compatible avatars

crimson apex
#

I think quest only avatars that can work on pc but aren't on it are as bad as pc avatars that can work on quest but aren't on it

vocal shard
#

Curious. What advancements do these quest only avatars have?

unreal verge
#

I think quest only avatars may be even worse. Then 99% of people can't see your avatar instead of you 99% of other people.

crimson apex
#

I think both are bad in the same way because it's limiting to both platforms

ruby needle
#

If someone only uploads for quest it was the quest user them self likly.
Else you dont need to adapt anything excet switching to windows build for publishing it to pc aswell.

crimson apex
#

It's understandable for some avatars that they don't work on quest

unreal verge
#

@vocal shard mostly they imitate stuff that you usually use shaders for which are disabled on Quest and have some good animations which most of cross-avatars don't have on their Quest version.

crimson apex
#

I've seen some cool quest only avatars but I don't see any reason why they couldn't or shouldn't be brought over to pc

#

Same as some pc avatars

#

Only time I don't want an avatar on quest that's on pc is one that has a lot of audio stuff cause even if it's removed on quest it still triggers for pc players which can be annoying, specially if the quest people don't know what they are doing

unreal verge
#

So basically all avatars that trigger their full-screen effects with gestures.

crimson apex
#

Or ones that have spawn intros too

unreal verge
#

That's why i check every Quest avatar also on PC to make sure there is nothing that i could trigger on it without knowing.

frozen panther
#

Is it true you can full body track with the Xbox Kinect?

crimson apex
#

Yes

It's not the best way but it does work well enough

languid beacon
#

The thing many PC players fail to understand is, quest people will build a friendbase around other quest people within which cmopatibility is no isue.
@gentle cradle
@ruby needle eh.. many start on desktops and laptops and make their friend base before getting a quest. It’s very painful and a bit disenchanting

frozen panther
#

That’s wild

ruby needle
#

@languid beacon You'll still transition and are accepting/open minded about that rather the the "elite" PC VR users.
Or, as what i think is most ideal, actually do a quest account and use that.

crimson apex
#

I dislike the people who shame others for having less powerful stuff then them, it sucks how often it happens

languid beacon
#

Honestly once you have your friend circle and you jump on quest you just feel completely isolated from the people that are important to you, sure you can make new friends but... it tends to n it be what you planned to do when you got the headset 

#

Most of the time you just look at your friends list realizing you can’t join any of your friends

#

That was my experience anyway

crimson apex
#

Are they truly your friends if they don't want to ever join you on cross platform worlds? If they enjoy your company you'd think they would at least join one of those worlds to hang with you

languid beacon
#

As for making friends on quest they’re all kids so I didn’t want much to do with them

unreal verge
#

I recently got also insulted by a whole Quest lobby for playing on PC also. Cause at the time of joining i used my fluffy avatar which isn't Quest compatible like my main avatar. Well needless to say i just blocked them immediately. Elitism is in both camps a thing unfortunately.

crimson apex
#

At least that's what all of my pc only friends do and you obviously aren't looking in the right places if you are only finding kids

ruby needle
#

@languid beacon as a initial Desktop Player you'll not be as deep into it then as a long running VR Player as i asume you are.

languid beacon
#

It’s not about elitism I love the quest but you open up a quest only instance and it’s all skweekers. Like I’m glad kids enjoy this game too but oof that’s all it is.

crimson apex
#

You def aren't looking in the right worlds then

#

I barely ever run into kids with the worlds I hang out in

#

Much less completely annoying ones, and it's not the quest fault that kids are in the game when they shouldn't be. It's their parents

unreal verge
#

My friends mostly hangout in Quest compatible worlds anyways
And if not i just invite them and they join usually. But it's impossible for me to find any people that actually speak my language and play on Quest.

languid beacon
#

I'm not talking about kids under 13. I don't doubt they are allowed to be playing

crimson apex
#

I wish there was a way to report people for age tbh since they aren't even supposed to be playing the game in the first place, I know it'd probably get abused but god I find it annoying when kids do find their way into an instance

#

And they aren't allowed to be playing but they should anyways and I mean at least most of the people 13+ I've run into aren't that annoying for the most part

languid beacon
#

@crimson apex Age limit is 13+. I don't see anyone who appears to be younger than that

crimson apex
#

I've seen a lot of them

unreal verge
#

People don't care about age limits. Especially not kids.

#

That will unfortunately never change unless you need an ID to confirm your age.

crimson apex
#

I can't stand their parents who go and buy them a headset when literally every even turning on the headset says you need to be 13+

#

And the whole facebook thing is kind of a blessing in disguise to a slight degree because for that you do need your ID

languid beacon
#

I feel like ID confirming is an invasion of privacy and would just result in people using it as an excuse to be more lewd anyway

crimson apex
#

How would it make them more lewd???

languid beacon
#

"there's no kids around so it's fine"

unreal verge
#

Well yeah actually. For me it doesn't matter cause I'm 21 anyways. But i guess the kids would just ask their parents to make one or get banned at some point cause they faked their age.

crimson apex
#

I mean yeah? Who cares what you do when kids aren't around

#

Stuff happens anyways already when they are even tho they aren't supposed to be in the game

languid beacon
#

but at least they have to deal with the fact that they ARE allowed to be there, so the NSFW stuff isn't allowed. but say the kids CAN'T be there and you'll just get people going "so what? this is a 18+ game, it's their fault if they are here."

#

And suddenly VRChat becomes the porn game lol

crimson apex
#

I mean it's not really the kids fault, it's the parents.

#

Hate parents that let tech babysit their kids then complain when something happens

languid beacon
#

Eh, I'm going to press pause on this convo, I don't think I'm explaining my point properly

crimson apex
#

I understand your point don't worry and that's something that could or could not happen given that situation

#

I don't think VrChat would change that much getting rid of anyone that's under 13

languid beacon
#

I agree with you there, they will keep playing anyway

#

I feel they should be allowed, just crack down on NSFW stuff

unreal verge
#

Parents probably never will see that nsfw stuff anyways since they can't see what the kid is seeing.

crimson apex
#

Nsfw stuff is already limited though?

#

It's the users fault if they bring it into a public world

unreal verge
#

Yeah invite only worlds are allowed to be nsfw as long as no one is publishing a recording of that instance.

languid beacon
#

NSFW isn't allowed, not even in private. It's a common misunderstanding. community guidelines are pretty clear.

vocal shard
#

It's not allowed in private either

ruby needle
#

^

vocal shard
#

Despite what some interpret the rules as

rough pulsar

NSFW stuff isn't allowed anywhere, the rules clearly state that.

In reality, how do you enforce rules on something you don't know is happening?

crimson apex
#

Ah might have interpreted it wrongly then since last time I saw it only says public and friends+ but then again I probably read it wrong

rough pulsar
#

It does not

vocal shard
#

No it doesn't

languid beacon
#

No it doesn't

#

It doesn't. Printscreen it to prove me wrong.

rough pulsar
#

The implication that it is okay is present due to the poor wording

vocal shard
#

It says it's not allowed in public or friends+, but it says nothing about private

ruby needle
#

The other common misconception is that non malicious mods are allowed.... which is absolutly FALSE
Some mod makers tell you that it is them selfes even, but it's just a convincing lie, beliving someone breaking the ruleset's is stupid to begin with. cirLaugh

rough pulsar
#

But it is never explicitly said to be allowed

vocal shard
#

Other than anything shared from private can lead to a ban

crimson apex
#

Ok?

#

Sorry on my end though, I just interpreted it wrongly

languid beacon
#

Well, you said something that was inaccurate so you were corrected... don't need to get upset about it. We're just making sure you understand the rules properly

unreal verge
#

Yeah all mods are prohibited. Understandable cause where would you draw the line exactly between malicious and non-malucious. Better to just ban all mods together to avoid people abusing that.

rough pulsar
#

Yes, just like how laws are a joke and criminals commit crimes 🤪

languid beacon
#

VRChat's TOS is no different or less real than any other business

crimson apex
#

Only thing for me is that I believe some things from mods are useful like performance things, I generally don't like or support mods or clients cause they usually do harm more then good

unreal verge
#

Yeah there are quality of life mods and mods that are just there to ruin others fun.

ruby needle
#

@crimson apex setup the VRChat provided particle and dynamic bone limiter properly and that'll heavily help too. cirPrise

languid beacon
#

The QOL thing is just a justification people use to break the rules. No one actually uses them for QOL.

vocal shard
#

I dont think Clients can unban you AkkoThinking

That would be a breach in server security. Changing ip with vpns .. that can't really be prevented much

ruby needle
#

Erm.

#

Ofc. cirHuh

crimson apex
#

I know, I was talking about features that optimize mirrors and disable chairs or giving a message feature that I've seen some of them can do. Wish they were officially in the game

#

I just suck it up though

languid beacon
#

I just love the tip toeing on eggshell wording you see from people defending the "other people" that are always seen using modded clients for beneficial reasons. 🤣

rough pulsar
#

I just want voice prioritization back

languid beacon
#

First hand experience?

unreal verge
#

Oops gone is he

crimson apex
#

I don't really like defending anyone who's used them even if I know them

languid beacon
#

I forget, what did voice prioritization do?

crimson apex
#

Most I've gotten is a crasher unknowing because a friend told me to clone them once and had it on and I changed out of it almost immediately cause I can't stand crashers

unreal verge
#

Uh i guess if you look at someone it makes them louder? Just a guess though.

#

I don't own any crasher avatars, but i set my particle limits the way that i can't get crashed by particle crashers

languid beacon
#

Hm... well, if it were an option I wouldn't care. I do recall an update that had really weird voice fall off but maybe it wasn't related

rough pulsar
#

@languid beacon Increased the strength of the voice falloff curve, making the volume fall off faster so in dense areas you could hear people closer to you better.

crimson apex
#

Yeah I have issues hearing my soft toned friends

#

Specially when most of them use short avatars

languid beacon
#

I think I played when it was around but I don't remember much about what it was like

#

Why was it removed?

crimson apex
#

I think audio got reworked

rough pulsar
#

Yeah, it broke during an update, went unfixed for ages, then a large audio rework came along and it was just gone.

crimson apex
#

Sad, maybe it can come back though

languid beacon
#

I do like the new audio falloff system for objects, I don't know anything about voice though. I do know most worlds have voice distance set way too far

civic sphinx
#

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know how to connect an Xbox One Kinect to a PC?

crimson apex
#

I mean you should just be able to plug it in for the Xbox one kinect unless it also needs the same special cord as the Xbox 360 kinect

languid beacon
broken plover
#

you need an adapter

#

or you can mod it (either pay someone or do it yourself)

crimson apex
#

I wasted money on an adapter for full body but I never even ended up using kinect that much

languid beacon
#

you need a huuuuuge playspace for kinect to work well. bigger than vive trackers need

crimson apex
#

Yeah I have a decent play space and even it isn't enough

inland knot
#

lmao

unreal verge
#

I mostly play in my bed anyways, so i actually don't need FBT.

languid beacon
#

You do! so they can see you always sideways

frosty veldt
#

If anything if you play in bed FBT would be great lmao

broken plover
#

same. I have like the average playspace size, but its not enough for the kinect. It doesnt work as well as in all the videos and tutorials about kinect fbt

inland knot
#

Playing in bed has never before stopped anyone from using FBT

crimson apex
#

I try to play while standing up so I'd like to have full body but darn the kinect way needs so much space

broken plover
#

unless youre using a blanket

unreal verge
#

inland knot
#

god that would get so hot ew

civic sphinx
unreal verge
#

My room is very cold lol

crimson apex
#

Playing VrChat with a blanket on and a neck pillow is so comfy

broken plover
#

do you not sleep with a blanket gweiss?

ruby needle
#

heat it. cirISee

languid beacon
#

how does the XBox One Kinect compare to the 360 Kinect? I've only used the 360 Kinect

unreal verge
#

Nah then it gets too hot xd

ruby needle
#

higher rez and FOV @languid beacon

#

definitely better

crimson apex
#

xbox one kinect is slightly better

languid beacon
#

is latency any better? my big beef with 360 was that lower body was on a delay

civic sphinx
#

yeah that's why I'm getting the xbox one kinect instead of the 360 kinect

crimson apex
#

Either way it is gonna be compromising with space

broken plover
#

it still has a noticeable delay

ruby needle
#

Doesn't it also do more calculations on the kinect it self bringing down PC resources?

languid beacon
#

i have to give 360 kinect credit, it lost hip tracking way less than my vive trackers

crimson apex
#

The kinect is a good way to do full body if you have the space

unreal verge
#

I also fall asleep a lot in VRChat lmao. A friend woke me up yesterday after i was in that U-Boot in the submerge map. Couldn't use my menus and wasn't bothered to restart the game. After a while i fell asleep and a friend got to me in some weird void i suddenly was and woke me up.

broken plover
#

everytime I try to sit (like even on a chair where it can clearly see my hip) the kinect looses my hip and moves it too far to the side and downwards

elder anvil
#

Helloo

languid beacon
#

Yeah kinect really can't do occlusion well

#

it's trying to draw out your skeleton so if you're wadded into a ball it can't figure it out

crimson apex
#

I find VrChat way more fun standing up then sitting down but darn quest 2 cord has screwed that up

#

I have a longer cord now but it still really isn't long enough

unreal verge
#

Quest 1 cord is better

crimson apex
#

Wish I could have kept my original one but I sold my first quest

languid beacon
#

you can get extra long cheapo USBC's on amazon. any USBC works fine

crimson apex
#

Yeah I just need one to charge the headset not for transferring data

#

One I have now is a little over 6ft

ruby needle
#

if you only need power, no data

#

use a powerbank

languid beacon
#

i got a 15ft USBC for 17 bucks, works better than the official link cable

ruby needle
#

then you remain untethered

crimson apex
#

Only power bank I have is heavy

unreal verge
#

Anyone here also sleeping in VRChat?

languid beacon
#

I am currently asleep!

crimson apex
#

You mean this isn't all a dream?

unreal verge
#

Looks like you're using Discord in your dreams

ruby needle
#

Sleeping in VR is unhealthy and other things cirBaka

crimson apex
#

Is it really? I've only done it a few times

languid beacon
#

If you have OLED, dark worlds give off no light 👍

unreal verge
#

I just fall asleep all the time in VRChat. Even if i don't plan on doing that.

crimson apex
#

Yeah my headset has OLED

unreal verge
#

Same

ruby needle
#

@languid beacon if you want the screen to be black dont wear it.

#

pretty simple

#

if there is stuff, then it's not dark

#

also simple

languid beacon
#

Hey, I know some blind people that enjoy VR

#

ok just one

ruby needle
#

Having the preassure on the face is also not nice, it makes breathing harder too.

languid beacon
#

the social proximity is worth it to many

ruby needle
#

Heat/Power waste, heavily increased wear and sleeping discomfort

#

there is so many NO's

crimson apex
#

I passed out with a bunch of friends the other day cause one friend went to sleep and then we all kinda just passed out for a few hours

languid beacon
#

the sleep part of a sleepover is never comfortable. you're usually on the floor with a terrible sleeping bag that isn't nearly as comfortable as your bed at home

crimson apex
#

I dunno why but the quest 2 is really comfortable to me

unreal verge
#

My pillow is making it more comfortable. I basically don't really feel any weight of the Headset anymore if i lay on it.

crimson apex
#

Yeah I always keep a neck pillow on

unreal verge
#

Slept around 5 hours until a friend woke me up in the Submerge 2 map

languid beacon
#

I recommend everyone do it at least once if you have friends that are interested. it's not like it has to be routine. it was a fun experience

#

never again, but I don't regret it

crimson apex
#

It's usually never intentional when I do it

unreal verge
#

My friends don't sleep in VR, but they're also limited to their PC area since they don't play wireless with VD like me.

#

They either use Oculus Link or some other Headset

crimson apex
#

Virtual desktop is so nice

#

I love being wireless for pcvr

#

Just wish my pc would work with my quest 2

unreal verge
#

Same, works pretty well for me

#

My PC is on the hard edge for being powerful enough for VRChat at least lol

crimson apex
#

I gotta actually sit down and figure out what is making it not work with quest 2

#

I dunno if it's my pc or virtual desktop or a combo of both

unreal verge
#

But i tweaked some things for better performance so it works.

crimson apex
#

Yeah I had my stuff tweaked for it but now even with the same tweaks it breaks

unreal verge
#

I've a Quest 1, don't know about VD on Quest 2. Heard people have mic problems with PCVR there.

crimson apex
#

Maybe cause I have 90hz enabled ? And my mic worked fine when I used it just not vr

#

I might actually have to check and see if it's actually my fault lol

unreal verge
#

Do you use SteamVR?

crimson apex
#

No

#

Steam vr sucks for me, 32 frames for no reasons always

unreal verge
#

Ok, well i do

crimson apex
#

On oculus I can get 60-70

unreal verge
#

That oculus program doesn't even work for me

languid beacon
#

I've a Quest 1, don't know about VD on Quest 2. Heard people have mic problems with PCVR there.
@unreal verge VD mic always worked perfectly for me. Quest mic issues tend to surround the offical link cable (or any 3.0 cable). Using a 2.0 link cable sidesteps the mic initiation issue for some reason, though there are downsides to using 2.0

crimson apex
#

^

unreal verge
#

Can't install any game on the oculus software, constantly fails

crimson apex
#

Weird

unreal verge
#

Also wants admin permission to install software

crimson apex
#

I mean that's normal

unreal verge
#

But even if i allow admin privileges for oculus it won't install

languid beacon
#

Any error message?

crimson apex
#

Also I would highly recommend setting oculus to need admin approval to boot up if you use steam vr so it doesn't start up when a game has oculus support

unreal verge
#

@languid beacon no, just it asks to finish the installation, i enter admin password then the message goes away for a second and then immediately asks again to finish installation.

#

It's an endless loop

crimson apex
#

You might have to log in as an admin first on your pc

#

Same thing happens with the Xbox game pass app

unreal verge
#

It's not an Admin profile

languid beacon
#

Looked up your issue online

#

temporarily make your profile the admin, install it, then you can make it no longer an admin

unreal verge
#

I'll try but I'll probably still use SteamVR mainly since i already bought overlays on Steam for VR.

crimson apex
#

I wish oculus had overlays

languid beacon
#

alternatively, use your admin account to install it - your lesser-privledged accounts will still be able to use it.

crimson apex
#

If I had a better pc I'd use steam vr

unreal verge
#

It's really nice to be able to use my Desktop inside of VRChat

#

Makes using video players a lot easier

#

Especially if the pc isn't in the same room as me

languid beacon
#

I personally find the Oculus version of VRChat runs like 30% more framerate than the steamvr version

crimson apex
#

Yeah it's slightly better for my pc

unreal verge
#

Had a friend who first used oculus PC version of VRChat and he had more performance problems on it than with SteamVR now

crimson apex
#

Then again with virtual desktop and oculus you don't have any extra junk running in the background unlike steam vr

languid beacon
#

my steamVR issues vanished when i was on index, but SteamVR was horrible on my CV1

unreal verge
#

On SteamVR i play on 40% resolution. Idk if you can change that with oculus.

crimson apex
#

You can

languid beacon
#

you can but it's a config file

crimson apex
#

I do it through virtual desktop

languid beacon
#

oh, right, quest

#

i'm thinking CV1

unreal verge
#

I'll probably just play Dash Dash World with oculus pc and stick to Steam with VRChat

crimson apex
#

I can play at 2k with 50-60 fps most of the time but oculus bugs out some times with mirrors

languid beacon
#

I can play 200% in index in some worlds with no FPS loss, then in other worlds 200% is death

unreal verge
#

But I'll still try out VRChat on oculus PC. But I'll miss stuff on there I've with the SteamVR version.

crimson apex
#

I really need to fix my stuff

#

Even if I don't consider myself a pc player it's always nice playing on pc every now and again

languid beacon
#

You might be suprised, i had someone who made huge use of playspace mover and all that stuff but when they saw the FPS boost from the OculusSDK, they stayed there lol

unreal verge
#

I prefer to play on a weaker PC than on Quest VRChat itself. You know, cause i can at least see avatars and stuff.

crimson apex
#

I don't really have a full reason too tho cause with the stuff I've done to my quest I'm not missing out on much

#

I can play my quest 2 with vrc in 2k with 90hz

#

It's great

languid beacon
#

Oof, I said this an hour ago but i made all my Friends on desktop. They are all desktop/rift/vive/index users. So when I got quest, the native version was just a showstopper. I felt totally cut off from everyone

#

forget about seeing them, i couldn't even join them

crimson apex
#

I mean if they were actually good friends they'd compromise with you

#

That's what all of mine have done

languid beacon
#

I wouldn't expect that lol

#

anyway oculus link made it all fine

#

just had to upgrade my graphics card

crimson apex
#

I can't even upgrade mine in my pc

#

I have a compact build

#

Too small to fit almost anything

languid beacon
crimson apex
#

I dunno I've met so many cool people on quest or ones that start out on quest

unreal verge
#

I only know PC players

crimson apex
#

Even if I ever swap to pc I'll always be a quest player at heart

#

I'm going through the effort of learning better optimization for quest avatars to at least make them as good as possible for the quest platform and I try to optimize everything I can for my quest versions of worlds

unreal verge
#

That's nice

languid beacon
#

Yeah I need all my main avatars to have quest versions

#

i don't hold back on the pc features, but i'll make sure quest at least sees a close aproximation to the base avatar

unreal verge
#

Quest players definitely need more stuff. It's fairly limited in terms of avatar and world pool

royal coyote
#

how do i optimize my vroid model for the quest?

crimson apex
#

Well if you need some help I wouldn't mind giving it @languid beacon

#

I always try to throw out the option to anyone who's interested in bringing stuff over to quest

unreal verge
#

My main avatar (which is my profile picture) is Quest compatible. But i also use one a lot which is very fluffy and it unfortunately isn't Quest compatible.

languid beacon
#

it would be personal stuff though, i just want quest people to see me correctly

royal coyote
#

I need help optimizing my avatar for the quest

crimson apex
#

Might wanna move that question to #avatar-quest and I'll ask more questions about the avatar there @royal coyote

languid beacon
#

1 material, no transparency on texture, aim for 7500 tris or under, all 1 skinned mesh render

royal coyote
#

ok

crimson apex
#

That works too lol

unreal verge
#

My avatar on Quest has like 150k polys lol

crimson apex
#

I'm teaching myself how to do the 1 material thing but I keep goofing up

unreal verge
#

Not selfmade though

#

Public one

#

Don't have any clue about avatar making

crimson apex
#

I find avatar making fun but even while I can make decent avatars I never do it cause I like making joke avatars

unreal verge
#

I don't have time for learning that unfortunately

royal coyote
#

yeah, when i try to upload my avatars for the quest it says incompatible shaders

languid beacon
#

oh and always convert your model to quads when optimizing it, that will let you dissolve edge loops which lets you simplify models much more cleanly compared to decimating, which kind of trashes the model

frosty veldt
#

Using quads to dissolve edge loops is amazing compared to decimating or retopologizing

crimson apex
#

Decimation is funny sometimes though with that the end result is

#

I remember I wanted to try bringing over a final fantasy 7 remake avatar over to quest just to see what would happen and I ended up just making a monstrosity with decimation

languid beacon
#

yeah if you get lucky with the topology, disolving every other edge loop (if you can do it) removes 75% of the tris with almost no visual change

crimson apex
#

I really need to teach myself more blender stuff

#

I'm fine in unity but blender is my devil

unreal verge
#

Btw

#

Why are audio sources disabled on Quest avatars?

crimson apex
#

Performance

unreal verge
#

Oof does it really make that much of a difference?

crimson apex
#

How unity handles audio is taxing and yeah when everyone has audio

unreal verge
#

It's already sad that video players don't work on Quest

crimson apex
#

In worlds it doesn't make a difference but add in the world having audio then a bunch of people having it too and it creates a mess

unreal verge
#

These people are missing out on much unfortunately

crimson apex
#

I'd like if at least the video player from the sdk worked on quest

#

But there's probably something due to performance stopping it

unreal verge
#

I wonder why that Anime Movie world is even quest compatible. It destroys the performance so hard that the Quest can't even render a 3D picture anymore.

crimson apex
#

It's using udon if I'm not mistaken

unreal verge
#

Still no videos in there

crimson apex
#

Oh that one

#

That world just isn't optimized correctly

unreal verge
#

I only found one world which has a working movie player

crimson apex
#

If it's the quest theater world then yeah I'm pretty sure that one uses udon to work

unreal verge
#

Can only play movies though. YT videos won't load in there either.

crimson apex
#

I mean it's a new kind of system the kinks probably haven't been worked out of it

unreal verge
#

Actually made the effort to type in a YT url to test it lol

crimson apex
#

Still nice that quest users have some way of watching content but sucks that it's technically pirated movies

unreal verge
#

Haha yeah

#

Terabytes of free movies in VRChat and the companies that fight these stuff don't even notice lol

crimson apex
#

I mean they do, but it's such a small scale

#

Way more important to go after YouTube and other sites

#

And it also is a thing that could be used for marketing research for the time being

unreal verge
#

3D videos in VRChat PC on a video player are impressive though

crimson apex
#

I don't think it'll be long before a company makes a really good vr streaming service

unreal verge
#

There is bigscreen for movies but unfortunately they only have English movies

crimson apex
#

Big screen is promising but I think it could go farther

#

I think vr is a big enough thing now for a company to invest into the idea

unreal verge
#

Amazon or Netflix could. Would definitely have the capability to do that and could include it in one of their subscriptions or something.

#

Amazon already has some 3D content

crimson apex
#

Would be cool to if they partnered with VrChat like how pluto did with big screen

vocal shard
#

Hey can someone explain to me how you search avatars?

unreal verge
#

Go to avatar worlds

vocal shard
#

Im looking for a certain skin...

unreal verge
#

The only official way

#

Not possible

vocal shard
#

There's no avatar search

#

wait why?

crimson apex

How it is

vocal shard

Because that's not how avatars are meant to be shared

crimson apex

It's fun to explore

unreal verge
#

Yeah search button disabled in avatar menu

vocal shard
#

So even in the vrchat website I cant search up for a avatar?

crimson apex

No, you can't look up on the website

unreal verge

Correct

vocal shard
#

Does anyone know how to get the nutter butter skin?

hollow sluice
#

lol

vocal shard

I want to throw up...

#

They aren't loaded up to a library to scroll through.

Public Avatars are all someone else's personal upload, and them putting it on a pedestal is just letting you borrow it off their account
