and it's being worked on by Octuplex and Minuette Doll!
interesting,well I'm going to head out but thanks for telling me about this,I'll keep it in mind guaranteed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-aQfLVnOnU concepts if you're curious
there's tons of worlds out there, just type vket in the search bar. Literally close to 100.
they take something like 20 hours to walk them all, I've done it a few times T.T
I really need to know more things about vr chat
Hey, that's what people like me are here for
I just like to seek every nook and cranny of VRChat to experience the horror maps people have made
I haven't popped m yhead in here in a while because i've been working on VRCon and Vket 5, but it's a big day for vrchat and a lot of people have a lot to say
Us old schoolers have to come say hello and speak our truth now and then
All I ever done was play among us because most lobbies have like 2 players π
I don't think there are enough,and most of them are all pretty fun to play and fun walk through if you aren't typically scared but enjoy dark,creepy atmospheres
I just like to seek every nook and cranny of VRChat to experience the horror maps people have made
@hollow blaze you won't be dissapointed at all the hundreds of horror avatars you can find at vket and there's lots more to come
Really tempted to put on fully body and go check out some of this stuff now, but it's like 3am lol
the clubs? yeah, they're just warming up too
brooo bet I'll get on VR and go with you lol,but I'd push you to try some horror maps at 3am lmao
they go until the wee hours of the morning
brooo bet I'll get on VR and go with you lol,but I'd push you to try some horror maps at 3am lmao
@hollow blaze What if I told you I know of horror maps you've never seen
sounds like a good time,I'd love to see some more
I would play horror maps lol
Guerilla marketing, lhun!!
The book is literally to my left.
Hahaha
wether it's true or not as long as it's somethin I ain't payin a dime for,I'll come check out
but I'm being genuine here, really. lol
you won't lull me into buying anything no matter how hard you try kek
You're paying the electricity bill, does that count?
no sir,I have a fixed water and electricity bill
naw I was just going to link you to a japanese horror world
Big pog.
I generate my own electricity
HAve you played FlowersRite's horror maps *(those aren't japanese, but they're good!)
I can enjoy the luxury of frying myself in scalding hot water for 2 hours everyday if I want
I'll go jot the name down and check it out
Check out the brush avatar too! If we are advertising
check out this Goya Caramel custard I'm eating,it's quite good
https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_869a5530-c825-4236-a749-7f7c45cb2d01
I'll go jot the name down and check it out
If you haven't played flowersrite's horror map you defo haven't seen many
haha nice now I got more worlds to drag my friends into to torture them hehe
it'll go nicely when I tell them to turn off nameplates and go into one of my spookatars
my favorite world was this hellscape full of babies and just constant crying in the background i found once
i like opening portals to it once in a while and seeing who goes in
Oh the brush world? Me too!
i gotta go soon but if we're sharing fav worlds. I highly recommend the Ridge Racer world created by Zone, fully working map, cars, everything. It's fantastic π
if you want a real trip, try cirno's nightmare
yo fr? send me a link or I'll just search it up or something that sounds cool if it really works!
also g2g, cya guys. if you guys ever want to do stuff in VRChat just throw me a friend request on here, but note I'm normally on UK times
now if only someone would remake a piece of Underground 2 but as a working game for VRChat lol
You mean Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Underground 2, right?
I imagine, yes
good idea!
I want someone to recreate DOOM because someone got it running on a bunch of potatos so why not VRchat lmao
someone made Doom 64 in VRC
no fucking way
I still plan on making my map skateboard-able
On the topic of maps- I am trying to make one but the "Force Non-VR option" doesn't work lmao
Unplug your hmd
So whens the 25-slot increase coming?
unplug your hmd
but im lazy π¦ i didnt pay to have to move a miniscule amount of distance
what headset you got? cause i can boot up vrchat in desktop mode with my headset on. but maybe its different cause i have wireless
but steamvr was still running when i did it
Vive lmao
same.
funny how you have to pay 10 bucks monthly for a custom pfp (that you can only take in vrchat may I mind you, no uploading) but in chilloutvr you don't have to pay and you can upload an actual jpg/png... AND its only in alpha
Funny @sullen radish
Because not only is VRChat in an alpha stage aswell, but also can you upload a pfp on website for that feature too.
Didn't even bother doing research before being a shill Β―_(γ)_/Β―
funny indeed
How is it in alpha if people participate in beta?
in the beta of a patch.
The actual alpha's of the patches are non public mostly, and then depending on amount of work needed there a one or a few beta itterations before hitting live
This doesn't change the actual live game's developement status tho. 
does anyone know why my menu doesn't work when I press and hold the Y button, I can open the menu but it doesn't let me select options, emotes etc >.< I am using quest2 with link cable (tried asking in the other general with no luck >.<)
You know you could have done the tiniest bit of research and figured out that you can infact upload a picture via the website, right?
unfortunately I do not have the Quest 2 so I can't help
can somebody pls play vrchat with me?
do you mean the game menu or the avatar radial menu?
That'd be the quick and action menu but yeah.
Yeah work on the beta for your monetization of user created content. Maybe fix the host bug, maybe fix the social list. Maybe not spend HTC Funding on vacations and personal expenses. The simple things π€·ββοΈ
the little round one, sorry I'm not sure of the name
That'd be technically illegal to do...
: smile : But they have, where is the updates from the 15mil. I am glad the companies are pulling out and cutting funding
i mean i was just memeing to meme, irdc, the fire's kinda funny tho
Server upkeep, payroll, etc.
Hey, silly question, since the wording on the Account Link page is a bit weird. Am I able to link multiple accounts, but only one from each platform? i.e. can I link both Oculus and Steam, but only one from each? Or is it one total -- either Steam or Oculus?
Where is any of this info coming from, neko..
The money was used to make HTC look more attractive to consumers.
i thought it was total but no idea
Just conspiraboomer bullshit, as per.
ah ok so just as blueasis said. got it
The link lists literally nothing of what you said, cite sources or close your auxiliary breathing oraphice used for communication
Series C Funding
Businesses that make it to Series C funding sessions are already quite successful. These companies look for additional funding in order to help them develop new products, expand into new markets, or even to acquire other companies. In Series C rounds, investors inject capital into the meat of successful businesses, in an effort to receive more than double that amount back. Series C funding is focused on scaling the company, growing as quickly and as successfully as possible.
Sorry for the small wall.
Wtf is going on
Will ask in a support ticket. I was hoping to get a quick answer here, but if nobody knows, then support ticket it is.
Conspiracy theories
About what?
VRC+ stuff.
moving the stick doesnt work? do the quest 2 controllers have touchpads like vive? try that maybe. only other thing i can think of is check your control bindings in the settings menu
but I will say this, I barely play vrc, and this whole vrc+ thing is honestly so disgusting that i'm more tempted to play chilloutvr, and again, i barely even touch social vr. chilloutvr and vrchat, no difference imo. but the whole fact that you have to pay 10 bucks a month just to have a custom pfp is kinda scummy imo, but it's their game.
Who knows. They just make it up as they go
What is that
Like quote thing idk how to do that
Dang, people getting salty over an optional payment
Imagine
"the whole fact that you have to pay 10 bucks a month just to have this completely optional and inconsequential feature is kinda scummy imo, but its their game"
Same exact thing happened with Nitro in the beginning.
Tru
I figured it out lol
doesnt chillout also have a payment option?
One time fee yes
and what does it provide exactly?
Not certain
ive seen the chart, but i want croma to answer
For now, that is. 
Idk about you guys, but when I'm chilling with friends I know, most of the time I keep nameplates off. I could give 2 shits whether they have a custom one or not
Don't you start with conspiracies now hahaha
optional, yes, however, its either that or don't care about it, again. I don't care about this social vr space war, I'll be sitting in the background with popcorn.
Im sorry blueasis. 
Cvr canβt even handle 50+ on a server lol, you all wanna praise the vrchat clones but they are further back in development lol
"ill be sitting in the background with popcorn but still complain" ok
The fact they banned the shader for nameplates and monitize it is really screwy
that shader allowed people to impersonate devs
I know why you like it so much, youre the reason kids get into this game. Go to Vanilla Nekos daycare or the Little Snack Shack.
I've tried everyone on the controller to select it, what should I check in the control bindings (I'm not even sure where that is) sry new to vr
jesus try to make one thing to spark a discussion and people charge you out of being defensive. Toxxxxiccccc, later.
No cuz you can easilly see by name
I don't want to be devils advocate but vrc isn't often near 40+ for 99% of the user base
Bruh why do people hate + so much I genuinely dont get it people just see something free involve money and go grrr bad >=(
so open the game menu (not sure on the button, try just tapping Y for starters), and click options. the far right tab should be control bindings. if you can screenshot it, that would be helpful
@vestal pier Has made money from this game that's why he is being so adamant about supporting it
I don't understand??
its the cool thing to do with kids these days. fuck capitalism, amirite?
Lol
I have made money from this game... and?? Hahaha
They were gonna have to monetize eventually. Did anyone really expect this to stay completely free forever?
man i wish i was getting paid to shill vr chat
Thatβs such a bad take lol
i wish i was getting paid to talk about things i like in general
You're literally just ignoring my points and attacking my character. Very cool π
@vestal pier Toothbrush character is the reason little kids come into this game and are exposed to this πͺ
Wdym by that
How dare I make a living π€
neko accused blue of being a paid shill. i wish i was a paid shill for this game cause i love it and will gladly promote it
could I dm u?
How dare you attract kids into a game full of pedos
I'm a character designer. Its my job. I didn't make the meme, but sorry it upsets you
sure samantha
Wtf are you even talking about
I made a character that was used in a viral vid how do I have any control over that lol
ok now neko HAS to be trolling. surely they arent actually this stupid
They're blaming me for my character brush being popular like wow π
oh you made that thing? oh god.
Yes sorry or your welcome, you choose.
πͺ
i honestly dont even know
Blueasis just made the character as soon as its public it's not his fault what happens to it
I'm just a character designer. Nothing to do with me lol
but i guess good job for creating the equivalent of roblox's noob character?
Thanks i think?
Bruh
you're welcome i think?
Its an instant block when people see the character, it will always be a little kid.
God my sound cloud weekly sucks ass imma kms
damn thats harsh neko
glad to see you are looking out for the rest of us with your heroic actions
Neko, next time when your poins are dismantled don't try to attack peoples character, not a good look.
@vestal pier I dont have to prove my character to a pedo πͺ
Neko
Who would that be?
Anime Nazi Girl
What how wtf
Guilty by association I guess.
What did I walk in on?
When the fuck did pedos even become a part of this conversation
A moron and the choir.
chad
But you're right, it's a game where people can sit in front of a mirror and touch their peepee with kids around. Great game, great game
neko being a very shitty troll
And also I take pride in my nazi anime pfp
πͺ
Oxy is big brain.
I think they may be projecting..
Nazis and pedos, nice
The projections from Neko is crazy
And what does that have to do with me I'm 15
My point ^^^^^^
im guessing chillout doesnt have mirrors then? since you hate them so much but love chillout
Yeah so how tf does someone being a pedo in a game relate to any one of us
Just settle this the good ol fashioned way.
A duel.
I am not going to discuss things with a 15 year old
im 24 but ok
Guys bad news i have to quit vrc I got called a pedo for being a character designer
oh no
No, your character attracts children, and the pedos on this game
rip blue. let the meme live on forever in his memory
Lmao what
Kys kys kys
Does your rotting brain attract flies?
Wow, telling me to kill myself? shame
Ur a bafoon
actually id say the anime models attract the pedos. lets just say hime kagiyama isnt the most mature looking god of pestilence
Not a very good show of character
I dont need to prove shit to you clown
I am going to block the 15 year old
you do that
Totally. Go for it.
Ok dick
and im gonna block the stupid person
Imagine flexing blocking someone ur a loser
Man, everyone here is very mature, I am enjoying this discord.
Imagine being so damn insecure about yourself
i mean, i play vr chat. that makes me a pedo AND a loser. score!
Stretch Armstrong over here, can quite reach far enough
This person literally just want attention that's why their making these stupid ass hot takes
i'm just sitting back here eating popcorn watching general devolve into throwing sticks and it's great
yep
It's a meme.
πͺ
i should be doing homework, or yknow, actually playing vr chat, but here i am
I should be doing alot more but watching this has become a new side hobby lmfao
I should be sleeping but how can I sleep knowing I'm attracting kids to the game... can't live with myself man
imagine paying 100 dollars a year on this game lmao
just turn yourself in to the authorities. you will feel much better
Neko can eat a fat cock their probably just projecting their own feelings toward children
i mean, i pay that much for a game about clicking circles when i dont have to just to get one click downloads
Damn, this discord gets more mature by the minute.
Lmao
Yeah tbh 100 dollars is a lot I feel like they should lower the yearly and monthly price a bit
You're implying a sense of reason ever existed here
Funding has been cut πͺ
Your avatars are great, just ignore this this person tbh.
look, im not a smart man. i bought full body tracking for fuck's sake
I block his avatars because I know a little kid will be in it
i think it should be known we are all memeing on this neko
Shame
none of us are taking neko seriously i would hope
Nah
i'm absolutely not lmao
Cheers snooze, don't worry i don't really take anything like this too seriously, no one with any semblance of respect would be reaching this far for a moot point
Isn't vrchat made E for everyone? I dont see what this discussion is even about im so dumbfounded
Neko really wants to be the center of attention
This is just funny to watch
We should just ignore them
Shut up you just got here. @fading brook
well cats do love attention
Because of u, dumbass.
I came in here to make fun of the new subscription that's being set up but im just laughing reading what's going on
Yes, but you just got here so commit hush.
I'll commit sepuku does that count?
not unless you hit a vape first
And the chat has devolved
Sepeku via vape
then it looks like your ghost is leaving your body
Cringe
I'm glad my avatars provide you with a fun mini game!
Says the furry
imagine being called discount bark and then saying cringe lmfaooo
damn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjtE_T-UvSI this is chat
@vestal pier Enjoy your male pattern baldness πͺ
Octane ^^^
Lmao ok that was a pretty good one ngl
Baldness doesn't run in the family but thanks?
Your pictures say otherwise
this is my favourite video in a long time
This person has to be trolling
Bruh
they must be trolling
πͺ
i'm bald as hell, it's just an addon solar panel for free energy imo
Hell yeah
this sounds too dumbfounded of a conversation to not even be considered as trolling
Of course you are lmao
Pretending to have found pictures of me and lying about my hair isn't very nice
: smile :
: smile :
I take pride in my lucious lockes
The bot just said to much cap
Uhhhh, what locks? lmao
Big brain time.
Lockes as in hair dumbasss
My question is who hurt you? Dramatic status, projecting in a official discord. You okay? π€
Fair enough
Dramatic status? Happiness is dramatic πͺ
you dont sound happy
Their immediate solution to being shutdown online is to try and dox someone
Cranium expand
Im not, Im not happy about caillou over here
Bro I have considered shaving my head, how you know?
You should, it would complete the pedo look
im sorry but all i can think of with neko's posts are like some soccer mom facebook user, with all their emoticon usage
not even GPT-3 could decipher your mechanisms of troll-fu
Lmao
Shave the caterpillar off your lip too
Hahahaha bro I can't grow facial hair u crazy.
Exactly, so stop trying. It looks bad
Thats how I know for sure they haven't found my pics
Lmao
: smile :
52 people away from 25,000
pog
Hair on my face? No funking way.
poo poo pee pee
ok i gotta ask: why do you keep typing the command for the smile emoji, but with spaces between the word and colons?
Never in my life. Thanks for the confirmation that you are infact projecting
True πͺ
its ok, im 24 and i only started getting acne
i just went through a year of strong chemotherapy, also killed my acne which was nice, had it chronically. also 21
I hope I never get it. For real
I only had it due to a very deep bacterial infection, so you'll probably never get it as you almost usually get it in early days
Guys how do I walk in firstperson and not move in third person and teleport
Turn off Holoport on the top left in the Settings.
Ok thanks!
No problem.
Anyone know why my elbows would stop moving side to side, but the arm and hand still moves fine?
(rift s)
Occasionally a controller stops positional tracking ... I restart Oculus x.x
That's all I got.
yo i have a question i am running a 1660 with a oculus quest 2 and the game runs fine but after like maybe an hour it just starts to absolutly chug like it freezes and lags and just gives up. anyone know why this might be happening?
I would check temps, it's possible you're running out of memory after some time as well.
havent checked temps yet what should i use to do that also i have 16g of ram
What CPU do you have?

NZXT Cam should be fine for monitoring temps and basic system info
I personally use HWiNFO64 but for the purpose of temps that's a lot of info.
Where can i find the avatars that I'm looking for?
That depends, what avatars are you looking for?
ight thank you i ma go try that out
Gotta go world-hopping, my dude.
oh
I just want some funny ones
What is the thing called when the avatar gets really huge when you get loud?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
oof
yeah while in vrc
Well use that to monitor temps and memory usage, see what it get's too after an hour like you were saying earlier
Still having trouble with the elbows of my avatars not following the same tracking as my hands, using rift s. Tried restarting headset and pc
like whe. you rotate your hands, your elbows in game arent where your real elbow is? your real elbow isnt tracked and wont match the virtual one.
Like if I move my hand to the other side of my body, the hand/wrist move but the elbow is getting stuck/lagging
yo @west yoke can i dm you my temps and shit from the nzxt cause its still happening and i dont know whats wrong
I imagine you've uninstalled VRChat and ensured nothing was in the installation folder before reinstalling.
As well as clearing cache, right?
Hey everyone
yeah havent done the cache yet tho
@vocal shard So, quest 2 and 1660. how much V-RAM does the 1660 have? i've had lobbies attempt to exceed 8GB of V-RAM a few times before on no safety settings.
It has 6 GB
Hiya.
6 i belive
VRC is great at gobbling up Ram - V-ram, max usage i saw was 12GB of ram & 8.1GB of vram used. Although i play on desktop (for the time being) at 4K so my v-ram usage will be higher by default by a good margin
Though that makes our system specs very similar as I have a R5 2600 and GTX 1660 as well.
R5 2600 & 5700 XT here
5700 xt works well with 2600? I plan switching to this gpu
Yeah, although it bottle necks at 1080P
i have to run at 2K for optimal performance
my card is only going at 60% usage
any one elses audio playing what they here?
in vrc i'm lucky to see 15/30% usage unless a shader heavy avatar is nearby or am in a complex world. Also a nep, wut?
How is everyone?
Good
like the audio in vrc seems bugged like my voice is comming out of 2 of my friends mics
Odd, is it coming out in like source quality is does it sounds like it's being repeated through a microphone?
seems source quality
Is this in the beta or base game? if it's in the base, i've heard of this bug before but never experienced it. if you're in beta it seems like a good time for bug report
base
I guess a better way to explain the issue, if I touch my elbows together, usually they will do the same in-game base on my wrist movement. For some reason it's no longer doing that
edit a lightbulb went out in my friends room, it was too dark to track properly
Rest In Peace Rift 12/25/17 - 11/21/20 βYou served your purpose well.β
Today marks the day my rift has passed away.
hi at all how are you? I introduce myself as Nicole and I am 17 years old and I live in Italy and I wanted to ask you a question. can anyone link where you bought and what you bought to play vrchat? Thank you
I initially bought one of the original Vive headsets, which I bought from the Vive website itself. (Is easy to search)
Those particular headsets are no longer sold though.
I later upgraded to a Valve Index, which I bought from Steam, and which is the only place you can buy them other than pre-owned/Ebay.
I got my Index directly from Steam
m ok thx β€οΈ
May your Rift rest in piece π cryptedphone
Hmmm...
+cry
It seems to gradually gobble up all of my committed memory(~40GB free) over multiple sessions even... which then causes most things to freeze and some maybe get suspended π
From a distance: "I think my mom got mad at me for swearing too loud."
@ruby burrow good call. vive 1 headsets can stop working from just sweating
maybe
i have no idea what i should be seeing there 
π uh ok?
pretty sure thats for pictures within vrchat itself dude
handouts
im ok with paying just 10 seems unreasonable. Had made it 2.99 to mayyybe tops 4.99 i would have done it tbh. Then make a donation tier when you give more
its not like im the only one sharing that sentiment ^^;
Frankly for the price being asked, I'd rather use it for Discord Nitro.
It's dumb, it need to either be wayy cheaper. Or make it a one time fee. Tbf, idk why tf it would be a monthly fee. It's a bit dumb, no actually very dumb. Clearly just a money grab. I don't mind supporting the game, but not like this
you are paying for servers and salaries. definitely not one time fees on their end
the problem is that you have to combine it with all the already existing subscriptions this gets expensive real fast for many
ok? how is that vrchat's problem?
and in EU countries you pay another 21~30% vat on it all
Comparing it to other services, VRC isn't offering enough for 9.99
Also US is kinda tanking in economy
they say more is coming. if they make it less then raise the price, people would be even more upset
its better to start it high than raise the price later
yes.. like we can get amazon prime here for that price.. or netflix at 4k streaming
I mean I dont have a problem supporting but we still havent seen EU servers among many things. If they did "hey you can pay 2.99 to 4.99 to pay out server costs and you can donate more with no perks i'd be like: hell yeah guys have at it
so you dont care about the sentiment then, you just want the features
i do care about the sentiment but i also care being in a pandemic where the finances change rapidly.. and i do care about the comparison of cost of a vr headset to justify the price when vr headsets have dropped hardcore.. to 299
If it were a sentiment it wouldn't have a set price.
Too late, FFXIV's getting that money on my side... no other subs for me
I'd get VRC+ to help with server costs
I plan on buying it for one extremely simple reason: they did this instead of cracking down on copyright infringement or nsfw
vr headsets have not dropped. that is quest being an outlier
not true
vive and index are still about 1000 dollars
i have an index and im on my 5th controller of rma hell
Index in a nutshell lol
all joysticks drifted in about a sspan of 2 months.
π
seems like nobody in video games knows how to make decent control sticks anymore
You guys realize that if they were to try to make money with sponsorships, ads, or paid content then they would have to destroy everything that makes VRC what it is
2 months? How they hell have you managed that. Mine have lasted for about 6-7 months. And I play contantly
@sleek sparrow they picked a bad part and havent switched it to a newer part to RMAs which is really crazy.
Monkey longest i had one last was 4 months tops
my first set broke within a month. new set has been fine since
and there is also the squeeky trigger to name a few on some
and ive had so many other sticks have drift and deadzone issues. its not just valve. sony, nintendo, microsoft, they all do it
Only had mine replaced once for far
i think the last good controller ive had is probably the gamecube controller
one time too many.. imagine if we all had 1 time
ive had gamecube controllers from 2003 that still work. no drift, no loose sticks
(which most do) my headset itself is holding out perfect tho. I think they went for just a really bad part on the joystick but im amazed they havent adressed. You cant tell me you can't get a joystick from another supplier or provide some relief on the mechanical parts of the joystick to make it last longer..
even the new gcn controllers they made for smash feel like they wont break anytime soon
Gamecube controllers π€€ I have 9, but they're the Smash 4 controllers. No stick drift there.
but whatever the hell they make sticks out of these days, regardless of controller, they all suck
index has a great controller but the durability worries me. eventually warranty runs out and rma will be gone.. i mean.. keep sending it back and it keeps happening doesn't scream confidence sadly.
i have an OG platinum, 3 OG indigo, a white one from 2006, smash 4 and a smash ultimate. all work fine
Let's just mod GCN controller sticks onto Index controllers. EZ
That being said.. comfy headphone. Great screen!
I dont want to mod a product i paid so much for at launch
not to mention 2 wavebirds that also still work
god that would be heaven. imagine octogates on a vr stick
Just my opinion, purely that.. put here for archival purposes. Step 1, monetize vrchat. Step 2, scan and ban all accounts using modified clients due to conflict of financial interest. Step 3, don't actually implement the features that superusers rely on especially bug fixes in modded clients that haven't been fixed ever by dev team. Step 4,lose a substantial user base of vrchat to other platforms - the users most likely to pay. Step 5, vrchat looses it's essence and becomes just 12 year old trolls. Not trying to poo pop the devs. I love vrchat and I would love to pay for it. But from all I've heard this implementation is going to go south fast.
It would be amazing
sera no what they shoul do is have a prompt or nag message saying : Hey we will now implement most of it please support us.
Banning is too agressive imho and will just create tension
so based on heresay from scared users who are making shit up, you think the game is gonna go downhill?
no they should ban. its against the rules already. dont give them any leeway
Also quickly back to this vrchat plus shit. Yes it covers server cost's as so foward. But it has never been a problem before. And what annoyes me is that they ask for so much every month. I really think it should only be 10 usd or even 15 as a one time fee, and not every month. Then they would be fine. And as they provide more features more people would buy it. Its either that or lower the cost to 2,49.
And as of yet they don't really provide any features I even care about, I know theres more to come, but as of right now there aint much. The stuff that there actually is that I care about can be provided with mods (which I know is aginst tos, but everyones uses them and they enhance the game a lot, if vrc where to strike more down on those they would kill there own game)
also some of those things actually have the player breaking things behind toggles that warn you that it wont be respected. some features are actually really nifty like spotify intergration.. reloading incase you are stuck in a load etc etc
laser i agree
i mean its unevitable that it needs to be sustainable not denying that but its the execution of the program thats so painfull to see.
was app
servers cost monthly fees to run. a one time purchase would run out fast. they got money from investments. investors want to see a return eventually
i will happily pay whatever vrchat wants. but the bottom line is, there are things that people want, rely on, that vrchat just doesn't have. and seeminly integrating things that aren't really that useful.
aw shit, here we go again
2.49 definitely does not sound like itd be enough. i feel like 10 bucks is generous considering the kind of data storage they need
again just my opinion.
yes hence lower the cost to cover the server and dev fees.. which probably could be easily at 2.99 or if we wanna create some space for the users tops 4.99 then after that have a "dev thank you" tier that is just additional money.. nothing back for it.. just extra for the team.. no perks on that front
well thats fine, but jumping to conclusions like you just did seravitae makes you look bad
that way you engage people of all financial standings to support vrc
again, what makes you think 5 dollars is enough for them? how do you know that will pay all their fees? do you know their monthly budgets?
and people with too much money can throw more at them n o problem.
octane i bet per user they arent that high as you might think monthly and that money scales fast.
so yall are of the opinion it sucks, but still think the majority of people are gonna buy it? which is it then?
if its more reasonably priced: absolutely
i will buy it if they go 4.99 word. but not at 10
a price drop wont make a difference. people dont like paying money. doesnt matter if its 1 dollar or 100 dollars.
absolutely does
people pay for the prospect of more development and this is now become a hard sell
well thats exactly what this is for: paying for development. i dont see the problem
and what makes 10 dollars not "reasonably priced"?
its the confidence if it actually goes to that.. there has been no VRC+ roadmap/goal map.. you know things that outline whats going to change going forth
the problem i see is that from what i hear from other superusers is that other clients (yes i realise these are not permitted) are providing people with features that are so useful that those users, fearing losing that, would rather move platforms.
since weve seen canny planned post from 2017 still in planned.. and its not 1 or 2
shit takes time, might not be high on their priority list. seems like they have been working on this for a while now
so is vrchat going to actually implement those features that the users most likely to pay (superusers) or are they going to just ignore it and continue doing whatever else they do.
if modders could do it I frown a little bit that a team cant
you know that argument doesnt hold water laser
i agree with laser, octane.
yet it does.. its still code.. that one person implemented
VRC has competition now and they need to treat this like that. The features offered need to be... I'm not sure if unique or better is the right word here... Either way, they need to show they're the better plan.
if a group of people love a platform so much they're willing to hack it to make it better... and actually apparently do.. that should be reference enough, should it not?
that runs and functions and with no impact on performance. that required those people to even delve into the code.. they did it.. i mean it doesnt mean they should all throw it in there.. but the fact they could do turn arounds in such a short time.. why cant a company?
modders do not implement things well. doesnt matter the game. there are many conventions modders can take that the official dev team just cant. there are certain stages of development a dev team must follow, which is why things take so long.
Not all things implemented well but there are many things that are implemented VERY well. i urge you to have a look
regardless of team size, any feature, big or small, has a lot of red tape. there has to be planning, discussions, testing, implementation, more discussions
i fear the immediate loss of those features they rely on in terms of waiting for an official implementation is going to cause them to switch platforms, as there are other platforms that natively have those features already integrated - primarily from watching what users in vrchat want, and don't get.
absolutely but ...2 years.. i stand by my point
then you have never developed a game in your life
ah the red herring classic
i have worked at software companies, it DOES take that long sometimes
dont believe me if you want, but i guess we wont get anywhere
how about using some of the money to hire the people doing the mods.
From someone that works with tech, yes they have server cost. But with the data they store I wouldnt imagine their server costs to be the highest, especially considering the game is peer 2 peer based. All they are really storeing is simple SQL data for login, logging, favorites, etc. And that doesnt take much space, nor the highest of resources. Of course they would have a few servers though for there database. As for storage for avatars and worlds, yes they have a good amount of data there, but storage servers by them selfs are relatively cheap, even with high speeds. And tbf overall I would expect vrchat to use amazon for their services which are awesome servers at a fair cost.
Honestly, I am sure vrchat would be fine with either lowering there price to 2,49 or a one time fee of 15. As long as the game grows, and they strive to improve it and will have income. If the game stops growing and starts decreasing in their player count, they would need less server and therefore lowering the cost. Theres no way they require to charge people that much, as all.
there has to be a good reason people are using them, right?
expanding the team could be part of the plan yes
monkey actually avatars and stuff would have to be hosted on a CDN, so their storage and bandwith costs would be bigger than you think
You do realize that literally all avatars also gotta be stored right?
Those avatars that have an close to 100% update for the past 4 years from everyone
are we sure its p2p? doesnt feel like any p2p ive ever used
@cursive fjord also consider that in bulk your hosting costs actually go down at some point
its either server based, or the best goddamn p2p in the world
especially since vrc hosts through other businesses.
Worlds are p2p
then they have some magic p2p that no other company has even come close to matching
i believe its not p2p its server side but they dont own the servers..
Huh? My understanding was only voice was p2p
voice is p2p? oh wow
i heard it was p2p early on but is now server side for sync reasons
cause if its p2p, then why do i, a canadian, have no problems playing with a room of japanese or russians, literally half way around the world from me?
servers are USA based
that makes way more sense laser
They are US west coast based last time i checked
voice is p2p if using steamvr. i dunno. im gonna bow out of this conversation. i would love to pay for vrchat. i just dont think this is well planned/thought out or going to work out well, just the way its being implemented.
i dont see how you could possibly ask for a better implementation. and no, a lower price is not the answer lol
Yeah I'm canada west coast and my ping is around 40 regardless what would I join under normal circumstances
which is also weird.. no EU servers.. no roadmap of EU servers either. I am surprised how well it works despite but you might know that early vrc users primairly from europe have the tendency to talk over users due to latency
They do use steams VOIP service yes.
That why it gave out ips for free because they where forced to use the old version thanks to unity
people just got used to it.
To my understanding whole world are p2p? Especially also considering that the host (which you can see with mods) always lags more then everyone else and also tends to crash in world that has many videos resources and so forth.
You may also have noticed that theres a bug where the host will be stuck in a chair in some random place on the map when you join a world just for you.
Already listed reasons for a better implementation. I'm out.
well when you only have limited investor money, the idea is to make a product that is viable to monetize first and foremost, then other optional things like global servers can come later once you prove your idea to your benefactors
i doubt it monkey. p2p access sounds like a huge security flaw
The delay from moving servers to EU would actually result in an net loss globally.
For JP and AUS players having servers in EU would often result in 600+ MS delays while most people can sub 300 in US from all over the world.
15 mil isnt my definition of limited. sure it runs out once tho
it isnt infinite, so by definition, it is limited
300 is quite high especially if you wanna get latency down for playing games together
especially when you make 0 revenue and technically record a loss every month
To my understanding of vrc, they used to run off sever only like a year back. But then changed to p2p to lower server costs. That what I have heard anyways, and judging from my experience it also seems to be so. But dont quote me on it though
If the world host logs off, it has no effect on the world
companies who report a loss avoid taxes doing so.. american based tech companies tend to do that you know...
but vr chat has a legit reason to record a loss: they have no income lol
they do? they have partnerships and clients like hbo who hosts events for money
sure they get investments once in a while
And this would be noticable as I often play with people from across the world, ones with low bandwidth who are the host, server runs perfectly for me
yeah jamie def not p2p
You cant go lower then 300 mili seconds if you want to play with people across the world.
If you only want to play with EU people, EU servers would work great.
Else it wont and just increase ping globally for everyone because your hopping more.
but we have tons of local communities.. why not strive for more.. since its provided by exeternal hosting services they could extend their plan to include EU and implement clever load balancing according to the users locations
Hmm, good point. I know it at least runs partly on p2p then. Still find the bug with the chair weird if you know what I am on about
i dunno where monkey got this idea from, then based his entire argument around it.
its not new in gaming/multiplayer or even select EU or usa region
Events barely pay anything sadly. The company i worked for had to pay for some spots and got invited to others, the team wont get a proper months wage out of these events with how irregularry they happen.
sure but he assumed this game was p2p, then complained about it as if it was fact, when evidence strongly suggests the opposite
The game does know the difference of who the instance host/master is. It could be a bug linked to that
vrchat uses a relayed p2p networking system, called Photon Unity Networking
You do realize most games are region locked of soft region locked right?
its not sustainable on their own no but its not a "no income" situation
People who use a VPN in this game.
Which one do you recommend
The cheapest payed one
ive seen plenty non soft locked games that just say :pick region as you are joining this world or server
@wary hollow expressVPN myself
VPNs are kinda taboo so uh i dont use any
Private Internet Access for a cheap one thats good. Or Express VPN for an expensive one thats extra good lol
Thats literally soft region locking
Getting send to the best server by default or being able to select the server you want.
All contact to other servers being locked unless you join
Noted.
Thx vanish and laser
no its not soft locking. sofft lock means no excess
@sleek sparrow am gonna try it as my connection only to vrchat is a snail pace can barely play and nothing fixed it
and you would still just pick whatever your friends go to or whatever world you think has the most players for you
Region locking
Soft
Its not a full region locked as your not forced into one specific region always but can pick it
You still cant play globally
soft lock means software lock. its not a lock because you can literally pick and hop between
a soft lock is something like a drm removal of features
Bruh- Your missing the full word 'region' that i write inbetween soft and lock each time :c
people from asia can still drop in your EU session lol..
But not by default and while having an extremely worse ping then now π³
I dont need to test it
This is known information
America's internet lines are the best to across the world
EU doesnt really have an connection to Asia with big ass lines you know.
so you are telling me all those studios that have multi region servers are doing it wrong and are doing it to intentionally cripple their users?
That seems.. right
I meaan. I meet people from all over the world all the time. In fact I tend to meet people from the US the most even though I live in Denmark
and they do.. lol.. you really gotta look at the Backbone of the net...
I think I'm a bit behind, but Steam voice in VRChat is relayed P2P
No- Those studio's dont want everyone to play on the same server and interacting with people all over the world by default
They throw people in regions so its cheaper and they get lower latency...
And they indeed have an connection EU Asia connection but its slower then EU -> NA -> Asia depending what hops it makes.
They're talking about world though
interesting its p2p
As in, IP addresses are not revealed.
is it picking based on who is nearest and has the most bandwidth? or is the host carrying all the relaying?
Can't ip addresses still be revealed with mods? I know there at least used to be some issues with it, where you would have to used a mod to do steam spoofing to avoid people getting your ip address or some shit
nah
Nope, they're never exposed now.
Steam voice is all relayed through Steam/Valve backbone
thats good. because that means it puts more responsibility on valve in that case
doesnt one of the video player stuff leak ip's aev?
maybe old players
Am curious where are the vrchat servers where you download from as am getting slow speeds to them only.
Or is that also gone since the unity jump
btw aev whats the reason for no EU servers for vrc? my download speeds of worlds is fine but just wishing ping could be pushed down further
Last time i checked it was this one https://cloudharmony.com/speedtest-for-aws:cloudfront
Pretty sure anything that's making a http request can 'leak' an IP, assuming the server is under control of the one wanting to find the IPs. Connecting those to users is where it can get a bit funky.
System was in here a day ago or so, but global servers are something we'd love to explore further. Takes time like anything else though.
@umbral reef noted I'll look into it see if ports are affected
yeah i mean i understand you cant hop between a region but at least maybe a lower capacity eu server for those wishing to play a gamemode within vrc when most are local when the worlds latency impacts the gameplay.. something along those lines
Its sad playing the game at 100kb per second =(
If you want to see results of a 'good' functioning speed and network i can send you my results
I pretty much never have problems or slow loading speeds unless the game is about to die
I have no issues with the 180 ping uwu
admit that most of us are jelly at sweden and their many fiber connections (or people with google fiber hehe)
i know I am
Denmark has great internet too lol. Got to love my 1000/1000 xD
ive got cable but corporate. its not like fiber but its still hella fast
@umbral reef my vrchat in game speed for 2 years are as fast as my internet plan I can play no problem but now suddenly only in vrchat it's that bad
Viber here is as fast as the copper wires π
Id be paying 10 bucks more for an 1MS decrease in speed and 10more down speed and 5 up speed.
Im happy enough with my 80/45 already with an average of 21Ms ping to amsterdam servers
it would never be as fast and then comes the aging problem of copper
Can be that your ISP just gave you shitty/borked hops
Rebooting the router can fix that from what people told me
i think there was once a talk of cables like that oxydizing/degrading which hurts the performance
Well its more that viber here is being limited
So there is no reason for me to get it
something thats apparent in australia so i heard
The way I'd like (and hope) regional servers would work is like how Discord does it, where it benefits the more local users without excluding others from connecting.
And most cables here are high maintance and still relatively new so we dont have the problems straya has
yes gallium
it would also load balance because you arent just getting the stuff from one central point so you effectively load balance
@umbral reef I thought so but restarting resetting both router and windows network fixed nothing.
So uh, Im not really sure where to request help from.. and im having issues..
what kind of?
Tbf could be a DNS issue as well. Maybe even factory reset you're router. Also check your firewall setting on both the router and pc. Also check if you have any anti malware which may be interfering like avast
better idea @cursive fjord he should use google dns or cloudflare dns.. you can check online how to change your dns on just that pc of yours
Anything else would fragment VRC in a very bad way. The great thing about it all being a 'single system' is meeting people from geographically distant regions. It's a social featue that is far more important than I think some people truly understand.
Yeah could work. Just got to change it to 8.8.8.8
yeah def locking people from regions is a bad bad way
i sometimes join the chinese worlds or the spanish ones.. you never know
Region locking: Fuck no no no no
Region prioritization: π
exactly
@steady kayak @cursive fjord
Dns used cloud flare always.
Same issue
Anti-virus has vrchat white listed and in firewall.
DMZ is even enabled.
I'll use a static IP later just to see.
whats your router brand? just gonna ask.. runs some speed tests too..
Why would you have DMZ enabled? Do you have a server?
Id love that aslong as the world owner can turn it on/off
And id rather have it off by default
If your just with EU or close to EU people these systems work great.
The second you go worldwide, these systems are worse then what we currently have in almost all cases.
Am losing hope =(
So, the issue im having is. I uploaded three avatars quite recently. One because im confused on why there is a delay.
I've uploaded an avatar 3-4 hours ago: it shows up on the website. but then it doesnt show up in game.
I have relogged 4-5 times thru steam and VrChat account way.
I recently uploaded an avatar for my boyfriend on my account but hell that won't even show up in game too.
Any advice?
a vpn is not gonna increase your access times just saying it adds another hoop
@cursive fjord it removes the firewall from my router to my pc
Make sure you used the right unity version.
It wont show up unless it used the same version the game is running on.
The website accepts literally every version as it only displays an photo and not the avatar.
This occurring is typically because you're using the wrong Unity version to upload. Which one are you using?
Yeah, the default should be as it is right now. With a specific options for other regions that must be manually set.
2018.4.29f1
You have to use Unity 2018.4.20f1
Errrrr that's frustrating. Thank you.
That's not how a DMZ works? A DMZ creates a new LAN that still has firewall settings, its so you can have a server in your home and have people connect to it from the outside without them ever entering your own LAN
ok time to get back to work for meeee
But again highlighting the vrc+ thing. no probs paying. Just lower it a bit and add a top donator tier for the ones wanting to pay 10 bucks or 20 buck monthly with an option to dynamical change tiers (someone having a good day or using a lot might feel obligated to pitch in more)
@cursive fjord
Noted my bad
but that way people of all financial standings can pitch without it being one or nothing deals
time to get some supplies ait
@umbral reef
guess who was a complete idiot and didnt realise you had to turn dynamic bones on yourself π
Try to see if you could work with some port fowarding on your router, that may help. Theres 100's of guides on it online. Also maybe try and manually change your DNS server on your pc to google's DNS server instead of your ISP. The ip for google would be 8.8.8.8. Again there a lot of guides on how to do that online
@umbral reef the site you give me Amazon shows a download of 256kb sounds right from vrchat
@cursive fjord
I'll apply Google dns.
Forward ports I guess vrchat will be Amazon services port
Thank you
https://i.imgur.com/YjQrVJv.png is what i get if you wanna compare.
Vrchat Ports: TCP 80. TCP 443. UDP 5055
But try the DNS settings and if that fails you can try disabling Ipv6 temporarly
Some people claimed that solved there problems but im fairly confused as to why
if he's DMZ he shouldnt need to port forward. thats the whole point of DMZ. some ISPs really really dont want you port forwarding either and will do everything they can to stop it
Disabling ipv6 should do nothing. Don't see how that would help lol
Yea- I still see people swearing that was the only thing that changed it from working to not working π€·ββοΈ
Maybe there ISP changes some stuff then for them or other whack stuff
@umbral reef can't read that.
Intreasting fix
@cursive fjord
Alright I'll open those ports soon when back to my pc
A DMZ still has firewall. At least on most routers
Anyways with the ones I have worked with. But tbf I mainly work with cisco equipment when it comes to that. So we have a whole hardware firewall for it
Damn , vrchat do be giving me the black screen
VRChat in a nutshell lol
i just wanted some good ol karaoke on open mic night π
It goes to an blackscreen on load?
Or after your in the game
yeah , when i load in it just gives me a black screen
like i can load in in my vrchat home and whatever i just get into open mic night
Try clearing ya chache and else #vrchat-support .
there support forum has a ton of things to try when this happens
Also try to verify your game files
The pug is dead~
π¦ the pug is dead π¦
when I load into open mic night it just auto load me in i dont even have the option to Go
Well that something
But i didnt get an dm
33k?!? What a steal man
Can you run VRChat on a Mac? When I go to VRChat's from the Steam Shop it says "An error occured while updating VRChat (invalid platform)"
For PC only Windows is officially supported by VRChat
Possibly, when I go to upload worlds in unity it only allows me android and windows options @vocal shard
Oh, alright. I might get the Oculus Quest 2 for Christmas. Since I have a Mac, can I not play VRChat?
You can, if you use bootcamp to go into Windows
Yeah I was gonna suggest a virtual machine
Though I wonder how well that'll go
no
GeForce now might work
Well actually. If I do recall Nvidia supports VRChat on GeForce Now
Idk, streaming gaming still sucks lol
Oh it's a streaming thing
You can play VRChat without a PC, though. Right? So it shouldn't matter that I have a Mac.
Through the quest, yeah
With Quest standalone ye. Can't exactly see everyone's avatar that easily though
With the quest yes, the quest is technically android
But not on MacOS, completely different than windows
Thanks.
with wine you can play it on mac I think
hallo
ok ... i saw new vrchat announcements about vrchat +
but it's little unclear to me so i wonder
is that new vrchat platform that latter will be monetized i mean
paid
or is it just opt in beta vrchat update
and it will be included in regular vrchat and that feature will be for
free
Only minor QOL stuff is being put into VRC+
Also how are you confused between the Open Beta and Live?
It's free for everyone on Open Beta for testing purposes, when it goes to live only those who pay for it will have it.
its a subscription service, which will cost 10 bucks a month. Currently its in beta for free to test it out, but when it comes to live it will be paid
it is not that i am confused between those two things
i am confused about vrchat plus plan
i am not from USA and maybe i did not understand it correctly
so again is that feature will be included in regular vrchat
or it will only exist in new vrchat plus platform
It's not gonna be "pay to do anything lol"
It'll be sort of like, Nitro on Discord, in a sense
What feature?
All of the core features you play VRChat for now currently will remain free. As stated earlier the only things I saw added to VRC+ were minor QOL (Quality of Life) stuff. Nothing too extreme.
well that mean that it will be paid
couse i cant have nitro because it is paid service
ah i knew it :(
but that is understandable
the vrchat devs must leave from something
i agree with their plans
VRC+ will just be an add-on to regular VRC, just like Nitro is to Discord
yeah
You won't lose anything by being on VRC non-plus
except for your social status, because youll be known as a pleb
Lmao, I mean you get called all kinds of names on VRC anyway, so no change really, especially since it already has the trust system
nut
i know
but that feature will be free for some period of time as an demo
and latter they will close it and make it available for those who want to pay for it
Well, that's what the beta is for @elfin cloak
They're gonna shove everything they wanna put in VRC+ in there until it's finalised, and then put it on live, but I doubt there will be a free trial, but who knows
u wont be known as a pleb as non vrc+ tho spirit 
why not
it WILL go both ways. For some people you'll be judged "cool" or just 'trusted' for being a Trusted User, but also get judged as 'nerd' 'nolife' sometimes :p
True, same kinda thing as nitro lol "damn you vrc+ flexers"
anyone who plays this game is a nolife regardless of rank
@plush mortar
ahh... free trial and temporary demo is same for me
i would more like to be just 'free'
but i think that will not goin to happen
Well that is not entirely true in my opinion. The "nolife" term is so bad. But I believe you don't play VRChat?
havent played for past half a year π
What are you even doing in here then xD
@shell bear
i do 3 years to be exact
Chatting about VR
friends wanted me to come back
@elfin cloak I get what you saying, but in reality - there's no changing the 10$ system regardless of how much people wanna complain.. It's a winwin for VRChat, even if they started losing people for no reason. They still got big ass advertisers on YouTube such as imbee etc.
@shell bear
and about vrchat eula and their terms
they can change it any time and make it more clearer and or to add something new
a good thing a friend of mine brought up is having different tiers, some people wanna pay less for just a few features, they don't need the whole pack, and that sounds pretty reasonable to me
I have to be honest tho, I'm a bit sceptic 'bout how the "torrent downloaded // servers" with movies can be allowed to run while monetizing the game, but hey :D
@shell bear
when you saying changing the 10$ etc etc
that is probably true
I mean even without monetizing, but yeah. Anyways I'm out haha 
That's not their problem tho
It's like how pirating servers in discord isn't discords problem lol
Nah Smol, you know that its the servers owner to make sure people follow the rules right?
Yeah, obviously
Or their server could get taken down, I had gotten 5 Discord servers taken down. You have to remember - Discord is not invisible for exact those rules that they need to shut down servers with illegal shit like CP. There are regulators here and there, and for VRChat to keep up a world with torrented movies for 2 years - It may not be the creators themselves doing it, but you have to remember that - Not removing it, is their problem regardless.
I'm not blaming nobody, in reality I could care less - but I like the thought :p
They can only do so much either way, discord and vrc alike are big platforms
It's the same with nightclubs. Who's gonna get the big $$ problem if they let in kids that are under 18 and get busted
They can't get every single world/server out there doing illegal stuff
There's always protocol, but I get what you mean though
Also, nightclubs and under18s aren't vrc Devs problem either
You know I can argument against and for, so I agree with you as I disagree haha xD
The rule for this stuff really is that unless the owner of the content tells them to remove it, they have to remove it asap.
Untill that moment they are in the clear and fine as they technically dont know its not allowed.
For ToS breaking things, the same applies, if they know about it, they have to act on it directly. But they dont need to go out of there way.
It's the person who made its problem, like how nsfw discord servers have checks in place and stuff, and some dont, but they're covered legally
Without the laws working in this way there would literally be no internet platform or game out there
There's degrees though. It's not like the smallest "illegal" things is a problem xD That's pretty much what it is, but hey - I don't even need the movie worlds down, in fact I use them, but you'll be surprised if people weren't lazy.
no face no case
Woah π
Honestly, I grow tired of people not comprehending that the DMCA system exists. Because it is a less expensive way than the corporations sueing every claimant.
Reality is, everyone can be sued by corporations for whatever at any point and at any time. The legal analysis for VRChat Inc. deciding to monetize itself by a subscription model that which perks has no benefit to Copyright infringers other than it being argued that more Avatar slots could mean more infringements by the enduser with the subscription. Point is I feel that if VRChat Inc. has seeked legal counsel on this issue and they are now publically unveiling a monetization option they must be confident that they can pursue this without any issues.
It's just a small boost to your current Trust algorithm.
They should add more rewards for the ranking system. Like adding more avatar slots each time you rank up or something
No new ranks
No full rank boost, its a small tiny bitty boost in how fast you rank up.
Currently the only good reward is being able to upload worlds and avatars as "New User" which takes around 5-6 days to get
@winter sierra Its not a ranking system, its a trust system meant to show how 'trust worthy' people in the game are.
You should not compare it to like an leveling up system
Ranks are no longer visible with this update, anyways.
@umbral reef Doesn't matter if it's trust system or ranking system. My whole point is to earn better rewards for being a trustworthy
Im out of the loop. Why is everyone angry about the VRChat+ thing?
Yes but why would they?
People will just try to game the system even more then and id be even less enjoyable to use
I don't see any problems with the VRC+ It's optional so if you don't want to buy something they are offering to you, don't complain.
I was told they've locked community made stuff behind a paywall?
but I can't figure out if thats true?
Who told you that
That's not true. π
People are making the insane logic leap that modded clients had the things VRC is also adding now.
Those clients got people banned, accounts yoinked and are against TOS is its a joke of an argument.
They are not limiting anything of the core gameplay (think uploading worlds, favoriting things or more)
All your getting is when you subscribe is more of everything. More avatar slots, more ways to personalize your identity and ect.
So they're not taking away anything we've had access to already for free? They're just adding more features but on a paid subscription?
No they don't do that.
They are even being a little bit generous like increasing the favourite avatar slot up to 25.
None of your current features today are being taken away, and we certainly are not hiding community-made content behind a paywall. Any rumors you've heard there are just false rumors.
They are not removing anything you can do right now in the base game.
If you pay you right now get 100 favorite slots instead of 25.
They will add extra things behind an paid subscription, all poggo stuff will stay free
Seems like it'll be fine then. Just seems to be a lot of people on Reddit and in Discords freaking out lol
You shouldnt read what other people say in other discords or other social media
Except the whole nameplate obstruction fiasco that happened for nameplate customization that didn't infact obstruct the username and in most cases was still mostly unobstructed
I do like the new design for the nameplate. It's clean and doesn't overlap the other player's nameplates.
And being able to resize and change the opacity of the nameplate? Now that's a feature I have been waiting for.
That i do agree with, but it was essentially open for user customization for free before getting cracked down on
It wasnt in the base game though--
Keep in mind plenty dont use clients or made there own avatars
Yes, but it was still a restriction put in place that could've been motivated for this new system, much like the reasoning for limiting avatar favorites has changed along the years
Ngl, Clients have already ruined the avatar worlds enough that you don't even have to enter the world to get the avatar.
My simple point being, restrictions may be turned into paid "features" and nobody will bat an eye
Well keep in mind the clients are running off VRC's back with the favorite stuff as they didnt have to host the things
Most clients dont function like the base game would/should for totally logical reasons.
It would be nice to have stats of people using my avatars, the total of favourites, etc
Something like with Worlds.
This would be really cool.
Avatar creators can get extremely talented and deserve appreciation for their work.
Exactly what I was thinking
I'm more into world making and it does motivate me to make more worlds and keep them updated by looking at the stats.
Given the current nature of vrc+ i assume that any non-paid customization around the nameplate area will be a bannable offense?
please i want that model help me
Tried asking the world creator?
how
In the world there should be an spot where his discord name gets shown.
Find that, DM him on discord and ask nicely if you could use the avatar or where to buy/find it.
Correct, this would be against Terms of Service.
it has been bannable for a long while now
Including anything not directly obstructing the nameplate, yet still around its general vicinity, say an aesthetic addornment?
@quartz jetty as I understand it, any thing that modifies the base code of VRChat is a violation of TOS
No code alteration
as quoted from the community guidelines "Hide, obstruct, add/remove elements from, or affect/modify the appearance of the VRChat UI (such as nameplates)."
Modify includes adding
The nameplate itself is unadultered, the question is, if something is simply around it, without obstructing it, does it construe a ToS violation?
To add elements to the nameplate directly one would need to somehow modify the code it runs on, much like UI changes i assume clients do
how do i get trusted rank?
Keep playing and socializing
No time constraint, it's dependent on alot of factors
You don't need trusted to upload content
Unless you mean trust rank
Yeah!
My alt got it within an full day
For some it tooks days to get, some claim it took them a week of playing
Just socialize, visit worlds and make friends, time will fly fast then
Then yeah, play for a bit and you'll eventually get upload privileges
ok... ive just played for 2 days now and there stands on the website i only need to in a few hours! and i got 3 friends
There really is no time constraint for ranking on trust, it changes on a user-per-user basis, it's different for everyone depending on their interactions
ok
who have rabbid model from big all's coridors
Damn .. big al..havent heard from or seen that world in like a year 
how do i install vrchat?
through steam, or oculus store if you have a rift (s)/quest (2)
do i need a vr headset?
no
k thank you
so did the discussion around + finally stop?
it never stops
please make it stop
It won't stop for along time though most people are tried of complaining already lol @vocal shard
no one cares anymoreπ, i just want slow mo off
Please, no... not the Drift S
Came back to see if still warzone, excited that it isnt π
its getting calmer now
I am quite sad I cant use my custom emotes here
I was gonna use my turtle holding a knife in his mouth
im glad that my friends who i know are here aswel..cant use the emotes they made of my face here
you can use them in #general-media
or if you purchase vrchat plu- i mean, boost the server you'll be able to use emotes here too
π
vrchat plus thing not really that bad. they didnt put limit how many avatar upload from unity yet
Does anyone know how to make infinite loading glitch stop?
@vocal shard maybe delete world folder in AppData for vrchat maybe cache error out
only thing will happen have redownload world you visit
Yah, but on our internet, that is still quite inconvenient
So i just finished watching "The Lawnmower Man" with some friend, I finally understand the true intent of the VRChat project
I'll be surprised if this doesn't end up being a feature.
But whats the problem with that
Is it worth to play NOW without VR headset? Like I know it would be worth more with vr headset because it's vr game mainly.
But 2 years ago I used to play (I even recorded youtube videos), without VR headset and there was a lot of people without it too so it was kinda okay. (days when you had to wait hour in lobby just to get into the game).
I just don't want to jump in now when the hype is over and see only people with VR headset do stuff around that I can't π it would be sad :< (and they would probably ignore me anyway)
e
Some of my friends also only play on Desktop. π VR isn't super accessible for everyone yet - hope we get more options in the future.
VRChats prime time player population is actually more than it was 2 years ago. I'd say the hype is far from over.
the hardest part is to find yourself a sane group these days, not having vr is barely a problem 
(althought this depends on your.. preferences in people, so it might be easier for.. some)
@golden scaffold yeah.. it would be more epic if there was more stuff to do on Desktop, I mean I could buy the VR headset, the problem is I would need to upgrade my PC. And most of the time I live in my dorm room where I don't even have PC just notebook so that would suck anyway.
@floral aspen is it? I used to play even before hype and it was cool.. Started making youtube videos, I was happy how fast I was growing, then everything changed when Pewdiepie made a vrchat videos...
there was suddenly so many other youtubers I lost the grind. And at that time there was so many players online I remember waiting hour in lobby angry af that I won't be able to go play. And once I joined changing a lobby was a "suicide" because I had to wait again π that was VRC hell π
Sorry for that
can anyone pls do me a favor?
Yup, it is. I've been around for over 3 years. Even during the initial knuckles invasion the max population only got up to around 20k. Last night over 25,000 people were online
Are most people playing VRChat in private or friend+ worlds? I've been trying it out over the last couple of days and it seems like not many people play publicly (unless I'm blind and can't find them)
I would say so, a lot of us have had bad experiences in public worlds with people acting mailiciously (crashers, people being jerks, etc) so once youve got friends to roll with you pretty much stick to invite+/friends worlds

Not everyone though I still love going to public worlds even after multiple years of playing, @delicate thicket when you select a world make sure you select a populated instance from the bottom row to join into
anyone wanna plzy amoung us in vrchat my user is vrchatkid65
Thanks for the answers! I'll see if I can stick out public worlds until I can get into friend+ endgame with some good groups
anyone wanna plzy amoung us in vrchat my user is vrchatkid65 and is willing to use discord chat dm me plz
dang it nvm
I'm in a discord with 100 plus people, and we all play pretty regularly, and most of us are known or trusted users, so we avoid publics because of how toxic people in publics can be, or how loud it can get at times with so many people talking.
thats the strat, to take over a public room with your friends so its not as chaotic
We've done it before, but it just takes a couple bad apples to ruin the vibe.
Anyone know when exactly the number of avatars you can favorite is getting bumped to 25?
When they are ready to release vrc+ it will happen
You can go in to the beta, fav the avatars you want, then come out of the beta and you will still have them favd
hello π
Gotcha. That's kinda what I figured but had hopes for a solid date. Oh well. Thank you!
you can have 25 favs, right now.
or 500, if you do a little research
Aka get risked of being clapped kekw
wait so if I participate in beta I can keep any avatars I favorited afterwards even if it's more than 25?
Yes.
oh shid
Go in the beta and you can have up to 25 favs that will carry over to the live build.
That's if you use it in a game breaking way, I see no issue in it if it just improves your own experience without harm to others.
Its against the ToS and if it triggeres the system your fucked. Its really that simple.
The game cant see if your doing good things or not.
I suppose, but I've known people who've used emmvcr for a good few months or even longer without issue.
Oh plenty of the clients being used are not triggering the system
But it just takes some tweaks before another banwave happens as has happened in the past.
A lot of the features from clients should be made game default so people don't have to use them, being able to interact with people's dynamic bones, and them being able to see it, brings a new level of immersion. That just being one thing
Oh for sure, but there are heaps of reasons that i tbh cant be assed to get into as to why they arent yet.
They stated they want to start adding these things. But its easier said then done to make these things function right.
Not the hoddy shoddy patches and unoptimized/laggy systems most clients throw on users
hello, i just unfaved my favorite avatar accidentally, i know the name and the looks, but i cloned it from someone years ago, any way to find it?
@wind zealot You will have to find someone who has it or try to find the creators world if they even have one.
Welcome to VRC
when on reddit i saw someone say that they should add revenues for avatars, they really should honestly, like local ones
recents* autocorrect
What the fuck is this vrc plus shit? Last month they fucked up big time with updates, saying well, it's still alpha after al. now they dare to ask money for this shit?
Dont pay then?
Bruh I can't even properly join people in worlds when they invite me cuz it puts me into different instances, how about fixing that shit first.
People are still going at it in here, huh
No, that's beyond the point. Asking for money in the first place is a scam
Is it?
For what? Higher trust? What the fuck does that even mean.
You can't base trust off of a paying person vs a free person
Please explain how supporting an free service is bad
Not like they got money printers as servers
It's not that, they already get money
they want more :^)
And that money is the reason they need this system and cant spend months fixing the game π³
They're milking an unfinished project at this point and it's what's wrong with todays game devs, everyone is milking the shit out of people cuz there's no regulation on it.
Investors dont give a sack of money without forcing you to implement or do things
They want thing sin return for that money
Making the plus features probably cost them more time then it would take to fix the bugs
I get that, but priorities are backwards here.
Investors dont care about that~~
They get investments, investments are like loans with benefits. Investors make money of getting returns on their investments.
Investers are told before hand in what state the game is
I don't mind supporting the development but a 10$ monthly seems ridiculous. I have played the game for 3 years for free have over 1000 hours. They do need a way to monetize.
They know what they got themselves into.
Yeah?
is this chat always like this?
No
Ever since the announcement, yeah
and the slowdown?
Usually calms down couple days after π
slow mode has been here for years
oh nice, emojis locked out, what about link posting?
Depends on the channel
this one, links being to discord emojis (cuz no nitro :)
And they still put down the rules even with it being broken.
Nothing will change, its fairly simple, just dont pay for it.
The things locked behind it are stupidly limited right now anyway-
And now that a system like this in there, they can keep fixing bugs like they have for the past month+
Emoji got locked cause the spam of lemons
π
^_^
speaking of lemons, what do they mean
Wait, so what's the deal with the lemon
to stop emoji spam you can get a bot that will mute anyone who spams over X emojis in Y time, it's not hard to do, and it's also free
Its a refrence to an banned thing within VRchat
Some group spammed it because of that at first, people followed without realizing it.
After a while people realized you could get kicked/banned for posting/spamming it.
So they went to do it even more and it become an way to shitpost
Banned thing within vrc?
combustible lemons
Never heard about it before , so this is news to me
Likewise
god english grammar, /F for you
I, as a Russian make less mostakes in words, but this is overkill
im guessing oclac is not allowed to mention what the thing is
Its an client
ahh
ah, classic
Past that i dont even know myself as i got brainrot and cant remeber what others told me
Like im not even fully sure if its a client but close enough
Talking about brainrot, my work shift is almost done.
there still are custom vrc clients?
They are all against the ToS but yea
obviously that doesn't stop them
BBD is an example of a discord one
it's an abbreviation i am not goind to define
better discord 
π€ bandaged better discord?
maybe 

also how come the slow mode is not 5 sec, its not like the chat is on fire anymore

is there a way to see when (date) you added a certain frined?
i don't think so
or like some sort of way to download the data that vrc saves from you?
is there a way to see world of an avatar(answer: also no*
obviously because avatrs are linked to accounts not to worlds bruh
it shows your blocks and mutes and how long ago you used them, my guess the friending is also somewhere out there, just gotta know where to look π€·ββοΈ
Nope
Not usually, it works like any other update (like how you cant see people who havent updated their vrchat in a month)
Imagine giving creditcard info to a company that can't even get account security correct or anti avatar thief
Good thing your not giving it to VRC
They use steams payment system and let them handle the payment stuff
Still, why would you support this. I could agree with 2/3 dollars, but 10???? Bruh, you're depending on user generated content and asking money for that. an insane amount of money, while people's creations aren't even secure, easily ripped and shared. Plus there's been causes of people being able to grab players ip addresses
If you find a way to stop the ripping let the team know
Or wait, dont as they will stop making the game and will be the first in the world to make an fool proof system against content ripping then
VPN and Friends + worlds 
Easy, encryption.
Ah good! The team already uses it
Clearly it isn't working.
Because you dont understand what encryption is and how it works
Chilloutvr seems to have it down though
And yes, I do know what encrypting is.
VRChat isn't encrypting anything.
The chilloutvr encryption is more just obfuscation which if they get any more popular would be broken by someone only reason why it hasn't been broken is that the platform isn't popular enough
Ah yes the early acess game
That game with barely any people playing it
The only game in the world that apparently is immune to ripping when tripple A games arent even safe KEKW
Its literally an numbers game, back when i started no one was able to rip VRC avatars because there where not enough people.
Early acces?? Bruh, we're in alpha, vrchat is in alpha, we're listed on steam as early access only cuz steam doesnt have an public alpha listing.
Alpha then, same things apply still
Then dont pay it
then dont get the premium subscription
