I haven't heard of anyone breaking them by smashing them into something once
Oh damn...I've hit the wall with my Vive controllers many times...
I have the index controllers for months and they're fine, much better than the vive wands that feel awkward if you switch back to these
I only heard the stick click being broken
Yah I can never go back to vive wands.. God they feel so clunky..
Yeah what's up with that I keep hearing that. Does valve have some kind of RMA/fix program for that???
i dont trust Vive
I've had 5 index controls have joystick drift now. It's a serious problem. They will do advanced replacements for it
Basically just don't EVER use the joystick click, it will accelerate the degradation of your joysticks and make them drift faster/worse.
Geeze I would hope so. I hope they do something like Nintendo did with the joy cons, offer free repair
I heard some people recieved their replacements before they even sent their broken ones
I mean they basically do, but the waiting time is horrible.
I don't recall ever even needing to click the joystick in VRchat on my WMR controllers anyways
Am I wrong?
Yah all my replacements were advanced replacements nico. They sent me new ones first, then I sent broken ones.
on wmr the stick click opens the steamvr menu
Oh did it? I can't remember lol
I miss my WMR in many ways it was better than the Vive omg the vive is so terrible
I actually want to make my Lenovo Explorer work with steam tracking so I can use it instead the displays are wayyyyy better
Still, my advice is getting the Vive controllers, if you got already a Vive you'll even save money that way. I would wait for a 2nd gen Index controller, then those issues will probably be fixed.
yeah if you have a vive already you can just get the index headset. Its even better than the wmr screens + higher fov and better audio (both headphones and microphone are much better)
I think I'm gonna get the index+controller package for. $750
hi do anyone know how to fix mic problem?
BUT I found someone who went with the Vive pro over the index and he had a couple good points why. He's gonna let me demo it so I'm still indecisive
i cant hear anyone and no one could hear me
OLED being a big one. The black levels suck on the index apparently. Makes sense as they are LCD
I mean the Vive Pro is pretty good, but I would still say the Index has definitely some advantages over it, let alone the audio even.
basically the only things that are better than the index on the vive pro are OLED screens and the ability to go wireless. Other than that its either on par (like the tracking) or the index is better (with the audio for example)
But yeah, OLED is definitely a nice thing. Even the Oculus CV1 has an OLED which is sad that a lot of new headsets don't have.
I personally would go with the index because of the audio, higher refresh rate and higher fov
Wait I thought cv1 was lcd. Interesting
As for wireless, if I'm not wrong Valve mentioned somewhere that they're looking in that but don't have any fixed release schedule for such equipment.
Yeah they only said they want to release a wireless adapter in the future but so far nothing happened
They have filed for a patent for wireless. It's really vague though no one knows if it's gonna be a new HMD or an add on
Oh they said they're going to do an adapter? Cool!
They filed for the patent in June if this year so
I think future wise, the Index is also gonna get the better support. Not only due it being newer, but Valve having a good history when it comes to support.
it's Valve, you will never know what and when
I just wanna be able to actually see things and have a conversation with people more than 6 inches away before their face is literally just pixels lol
The vives displays are soooo bad. VRchat looks like it's 8bit lol
My face is only 1 pixel sir
I thought I was upgrading when I bought it over my Lenovo Explorer but I'm left really disappointed
Having the CV1 here, it's definitely OLED. But compared to today's OLEDs, inferior to newer ones in a lot of ways. But, still better colorwise than the Rift S I think, which is (if I'm not wrong) using an LCD which was a major downgrade. They only got an upgrade resolution wise.
Which Vive did you get? The OG?
The only upgrade from wmr to vive is the tracking really. everything else is a downgrade
the rift s will be discontinued sadly
Yeah that's what I'm trying to decide. Should I get the vive pro? Or index @pure hemlock
Index if you don't need the wireless
i sure dont need the wireless
Well considering HTC has left the consumer market, and their support has always been garbage, I'd highly recommend the Index
Also, you can actually buy a vive pro rn too lol. Who knows how long it'll take for them to ship out an index for me
Wireless was good but dealing with HTC was already bad enough before they decided to leave the market
I am pretty sure everyone would prefer a wireless solution
Good point I didn't think about that. Isn't HTC dying?
It is already discontinued if I'm not wrong. What I'm worried about is the spare cable situation with the CV1 atm. I'm happy that I got during warranty a new one. But once that is dead, even used ones go for like $100 on ebay and there is no third-party producer.
As someone who had HTC Wireless, I will tell you a secret... It's amazing when it works. But expect a lot of VRC crashes.
I was toying with the 5k+ still kinda am @radiant acorn
Rift S felt dead already one year ago
What was the point of Rift S...
All rifts are garbage imo there is a better option for each one
They're cheap is only plus
Calling all of them trash is kinda sad. I prefer the CV1 over my Vive at any time.
They need to release the design for the cables so out of warrenty peeps can buy new cables... or at least sell them seperately themselves
Especially since ACTUAL FOV numbers have come out showing the VIVE destroys the rift
CV1 was good. Quest and Quest 2 are objectively good from a technical perspective. Just a trash company and company practices.
They only open sourced the DK1, and have probably no plans doing so for the CV1 or S.
A wireless index would've killed HTC's Vive lineup
If they would open source the DK3, that would be amazing, as that is basically the early stage CV1 with the new cable for that one.
@ruby tiger Valve knows they can do this and destroy the htc but they might be working on something better atm
But the DK3 was never meant to be a thing to public.
In today's market, I see no reason anyone would go with an oculus. Especially with the Reverb G2 and Odyssey+ release they're just a million times better hardware wise
Just my opinion though I've never used an oculus before but they seem cheap and have the worse FOV out of any headset available which is so important for VR
Index + new WiGig standard wireless solution
Also supporting Facebook is a no go for me lol
Today's market yes, but as for two to three years ago, Oculus nailed it with their headsets. Affordable and good tracking. What I'll miss the most, are the Oculus controllers and how comfortable the CV1 is compared to all these other headsets. For me the only headset that can even closely call themself to being ergonomic.
Once index does insideouttracking its all over
Yeah I will say the vive is so freaking uncomfortable. At least with the regular strap
That will happen. We know it. Infrared tracking is a dying kind.
I wonder if it's already capable since it has those cameras?
I will always prefer outside in tracking Though I don't see it dying
It'll definitely die, to push further towards the mass market. I give it two to three more years till it's completely disappearing. Maybe even less.
FBT requires the lighthouses IIRC, no way to keep both your feet and hips in vision of the headset for tracking like oculus
Yah outside in tracking is still superior... I really hope it doesn't go away
That would be sad. The tracking is so much better. Plus you can do things like full body
I hope both remain viable options for people
Inside out tracking will never be as good
I don't think it's gonna go away but might become less mainstream
It's definitely for more of the enthusiast but that's because it's simply way better
it's good for casual use but any enthusiast would have no problem installing 2 base stations
If I can't put my hand behind my back I don't want it. PeriodT
even if ligthhouse tracking only stays for the enthusiast market, that would be enough to keep it alive
yeah, i doubt it's gonna go away
Yeah I don't understand that argument. (You don't have to deal with base stations!)
You install it one time...
It has its place though. If you wanna take it somewhere
Cool thing with Oculus sensors, you once install them, you take them wherever you want and make sure to just have the same kind of adjustment and it works like charms.
how do ya do that
you mean this?
oh i see a >
yeye
you can also begin your message with >>> for a blockquote
I’ve somehow been doing pretty well without a mic
do my 70 favorite avatars get deleted once the subscription ends or can I keep them
When's this subscription thing start anyway
Afaik you loose access to the 3 extra lists, so you cannot access them
But if you repurchase i belive the lists come back with the content they had.
its already out
You missed all the spam here
Lol
thinking of getting a vr headset i am on a laptop and am looking for advice on what to get
honestly
laptops are unlikely to be that good for pc vr
i dont like saying this but your best bet is a quest 2
but depends on the laptop
get index
their on a laptop an index isnt gonna cut it
lenovo ideapad 330
index is the only right choice tho
dont matter how powerful the laptop is and index is very intensive on all aspects of a pc
i'd agree but their running on a laptop
if you dont recomed runing on my laptop just say
yeah you wouldn't be able to run anything on that so indeed quest 2
beware though a quest 2 is selling out to facebook
but if i got a quest 2 would u say it is safe to use on this ?
i'd say save for a good pc and then buy a index or if the decagear lives up to the hype thats an option
ok thats what i wanted to know if i wouldnt even be worth geting a vr set
a quest 2 is a separate device from a pc client
ok so earlyer u said i dont like saying this but your best bet is a quest 2 so what are the downsides of a quest 2
VR at the moment is getting to be a more accessible product but you have to have a good setup for it or it really isnt that worth it
I've a Quest. Wouldn't be able to afford a Index in a very long time lol
you have to use facebook to login they can lock your account and take seige of your games
so its not that good but if you want to play vr and are on a budget the quest 2 is really the cheapest option
oh :/
It’s made by Facebook and they are a pretty awful company who wants to monopolize vr. A lot of people don’t want to support them or see them be successful. The headset is fine though.
damn right i dont want them so succeed
I hope you neither have a Playstation nor an Xbox nor a Nintendo Adeon if you mind exclusivity. 
How?
ok so most likely i would have to pay for things in the future yha right i think im good
I don’t have either of those, nor a Quest 2
:C
No
I'll probably buy a Quest 2 sometimes next year
If you have no issue with FB and having to use a FB account, then you're good.
delete facebook & hit the gym
sorry, i meme
to be fair facebook just stopped access to one of their games on the oculus store so thats not a good sign
Aside from the Facebook thing, quest 2 is a great headset. If it’s not a personal hangup thing for you, it’s a blast
to be fair facebook just stopped access to one of their games on the oculus store so thats not a good sign
people paid for that game bare in mind
Store exclusions / discontinuations do happen on all platforms, you also can use it with a PC and Steam VR if you mind their store
Yeah they straight up removed access to a game people paid for without giving them a refund
Game with single player mind you
ok ok i think ima just go for a nintendo swith till i get a better pc and can get a wider selection of options
LUL
Switch 
yeah im not a fan of facebook and the way theyre going they arent gonna continue to rule the vr space forever
that is for a wireless headset
I don't like them either, but i don't have any other options in terms of VR headsets :(
I got a quest when it first came out and as soon as I can afford a good pc I'm planning to get an index or a vive
hopefully the decagear will be a good alternative for only about 200 more you can get what sounds like an index experience if they live up to the hype
i might invest in one myself
good choice
I also need better hardware. My pc barely runs VRChat in VR lol. But I'm poor so rip.
How if i don't have any income currently lol
Won't work, I've to pay back like thousands of money. But that's not my fault.
education?
I'll probably have to save up a long ass time
yeah but by then vr headsets will be cheaper and better
so in a way isnt that better?
or at very least something like the index would be widely avalible online from secondary use
and trackers should have dropped price alot aswell as they get better with newer iterations
vrc+ useless
Headsets are going to continue to improve, even the cheapest ones will get better, just on a sort of time delay :)
It’s more about supporting the game. Features are just a gift. No need to buy it. If it was actually exclusive stuff, wouldn’t that be worse? The game is meant to be free.
Thankfully if Facebook does anything shady hacking the quest will be an option
So you don't lose your headset
Beside that there have been 0 progress on actually doing that
i have a concept that might make it less useless
It has been jailbroken and rooted but there is no real alternative home brew stuff to install so it’s pointless at the moment
You can’t expect to access any of Facebook’s stuff without a Facebook account
i mean you could try to use steam vr with the quest 2 and adding steam vr as a primary program
maybe it would work who knows
dont get it then
Yes but most people who buy quest 2 don’t have a PC, And if they did, quest 2 probably wasn’t the smartest choice
The facebook stuff only applies to wireless mode, whats like 50% of the headset.
Desktop mode cna be fully disconnected from facebook already
I'm using my Quest primarily with SteamVR
i really wana have a wireless vr headset even if it isnt that good but i cant go ahead and buy facebooks product
i hate the idea of gating off games
It's comfy. I'm playing with Virtual Desktop in my bed.
i hate how their using it for data as well
hmm quick question guys a friend with lenovo explorer can't move, everything else work, and when he is in settings the game think he has htc vive, someone got a quick idea ?
He has to change the control layout within steamVR
Thank you very much we gonna see that
Server be a bit slow, might take a while before they can show up
Strange bug~
how does the trust upgrade for vrchat+ work?
does it upgrade every monthly payment?
does it make it easier to gain trust?
is it only one time upgrade?
one time (small) boost
from what it looks like its just a small one time boost
ah
From how it was explained: it's the same as uploading a world or avatar, just without doing so.
alright ty very much
It’s just like all the other trust boosts. One time and permanent, there are others, they just aren’t publicized or documented
there are others?
Yeah trust is a whole system of hidden objectives combined with player feedback.
It’s way more accurate when people don’t know how it works
It's intentionally hidden so people don't exploit it.
Only thing we know are things that effect it. Having friends, actively playing the game, and uploading content are the main benefits. Getting blocked or muted are negatives.
does anyone wanna play
There's no way to know, but getting your first world out of labs is believed by some to be a trust boost.

Moping about death in VR Chat while some dude cuddles a Loli in the corner and a dude who sounds like Swaggersouls consoles me
This is truly a strange game
I meet death every wednesday
i have a question how do i point at people on mouse and keyboard
Vrchat dudes will cuddle you for hours in a world then complain about being alone 2 seconds later
15 million dollar investment pocketed wohoo
You have to use the "point" emote (if it has it)
Please don't bring this tired argument up.
How do I get the avatars in vrchat
Again, avatar worlds.
That's not how an investment works. 
cringeChamp
thats exactly my point
So you think they took the investment money and ran?
Bought waifu pillows /s
That's impressive that they can take the money and run while also updating the game.
15 million dollars is a lot of money
No it's not. Not in game development.
if the assets of said game were developed by the game developer
You do know investors either want their money back or an ROI, right? It's not a free gift.
yeah
and with those 15 million dollars they chose to add
image next to player name
increase favorites
funny cat badge
u--.. udon ?
hi
^
im having trouble making an account
av 3.0 ?
are you telling me a coding language would take 15 million dollars to make
server maintenance ?
People love to pretend that AV3, Udon, and the update to unity 2018 never happened
paying the devs so they can eat ?
You seem to be under the illusion that VRChat was written a 15 million dollar check. That is not how funding works.
🤔 features , but i guess this is the new 'lol vrchat is bad' argument currently, wonder whats next
the website wont send the verification email
fun fact: living wages for 20ish people for a year is nearly/over a million dollars
And server bandwidth is a huge cost. much more than most realize
donation page without basic feature restriction
absolutely bonkers idea. completely out of the box
i mean if someone here knows why it happens would be better, i cant wait to play
"without basic feature restriction" so basically VRC+ 
mail servers are garbage, might take a while
VRC+ is the donation page lmao
yeah and its not a donation its more of a "give me money for basic feature"
Investors expect to be paid back, and if it doesn't look like the devs are financially stable, they could cut funding. Donations, while nice, wouldn't fit this
"You cant just monetize the game you've been providing for free for years! Thats just not fair!"
Good idea, let's call it "VRChat Plus"
what about any of it are basic features
icons
Since most already using steam is much easier then add another page to log in and donate
Hello everyone, reaching out from my private island
People forget you can cancel the subscription
Hello Sparky. 
If icons matter so much just cover your avatar in them
regardless of all of this, the feedback page for vrc+ was filled with people begging to lower the price
did they
no
'filled'
There is also a ton of people who are okay with it and subscribed already
^^^
the majority have not.
Why dont we all ask VRC to give us 10 dollars each. If enough people say to do it then they have to!
got any statistics?
With steam fees, vrchat only makes about $5 a month off if the yearly subscription
yeah, load a world and count the heads of who does and doesnt have a badge in their name
Technically VRC+ is half off rn if you buy the $10 variant
my worlds are like 40/60 for having VRChat plus
that's not even closely to a telling statistic of the reason people have not to
Its fine if you dont like it, no one gonna force you to get it
And the lobby i was in yesturday had like 75% VRC+ 
has a beanie covered in pins
Yeah that'd just be silly...
Where were you on the night of December 5th at 3 PM? 🔦
Yes
Good answer. Carry on.
I've played once since the update came out and the lobby I was in was 95%+ people had it. Anecdotal means nothing
unless your playing with mostly visitors who obviously wouldn't have vrc+ and aren't the target demographic, you can clearly see just how many people have it
To be fair, VRC+ users are more likely to play more often, so when you see a random room the VRC+ users will be over-represented.
I assume most subscribers are trusted level
its all just a "im better than you" thing
haven't looked, now that Trust levels have been downplaned I don't check them anymore
you're probably right
Oh god this topic never stops xd
Thats a menthality problem some people have, but nothing the ranks or VRC+ is about
There's actually a wheel menu option that makes you entirely blind to trust levels, I activated it. 😁
There are so much better things to be elitist about than VRC+ membership imo
literally no one cares about rank other than low ranks
Yeh i disabled the extra info over peoples head, cant see rank/avatar rank
vrc is not about putting a high ground over other people obviously, but dont pretend thats not what a goood good chunk of it will be about
I have not met a single person being "elitist" over icons.
ive met a couple already
Block them
I already got hit with the response "You're VRC+ anyway so who cares about your opinion" when I told off a guy for acting hella pretentious and rude : _ ;
Block them too
Now you're getting it
People who think they are something better because of a rank or VRC+ are not the kinda people you wanna hang out with
the cause is the peoples own mentality
There is always selfish elitism people out there.
The cause being... ? Toxicity ?
Am i their therapist now, am I gonna fix them ?
Thankfully in VRChat you don't have to deal with it. If someone puts that much focus on having or not having an icon, they are doing you a favor: They probably don't have much of a personality. Find better people.
Normal people don't hyperfocus on things like VRChat features
With what?
And then they were never heard from again
Dun dun.
Hey, Why I have only 20 av fav, and my vrc tell me I have 25 '-'
I can't favorite more..
That's insane.
It's actualised, like 20/25, but favorite button stay grey
Does it only happen when you first add the person or is it people you're already friends with?
It's not "deadding", it's most likely taking a bit to register.
No.
bro i still dont have my plus
@uncut totem Did you restart VRC once or twice?
Click on the avatar in question and press Unfavorite. It will work. It will act like you didn't click on it, but you did, and unfavorite will unfavorite it.
Well, that's kinda weird then.
It will look like you are going to unfavorite the wrong avatar - but it works. The preview just doesn't change
Can't say I've ever run into that issue
If the favorite count goes down, it's been unfavorited. The picture will stay there, though
Or use 3rd party tools to unfavorite them. I've an app which can access my favorites where i can also delete favorites.
Anyone here know someone who can make a map inspired by the stasis dimension in Half Life?
HELP my email didn't receive verification mail
Once it's done I would give the unity project to someone as a gift so that he can put it on his account as a private map if he wants.
I'm asking here to start cause there's content creators that frequent the discord and the VRC forum.
Thanks.
when they will optimize vrchat ?
@mighty cradle i found it
There is always contantsly ongoign things, but what specifically are you looking at?
idk just vrchat request good pc but by the graphic he looks like not optimize
graphic is good but not greatest but they need to optimize it
Everything in VRC is user-made.
oh ok
i literally just said that
@mighty cradle kindly its vrchat

even the users are user made
sadly

@mighty cradle plzzz
Can someone make a map that has a round table with 12 chairs, and a deck of cards? That would be a great map for simple card games. Oh and a button for resetting and shuffling the deck.
Can someone tell me how i get a girlfriend i am 17 pls dm or tag me
HELP my email haven't receive verification mail
not like that. Cheers
Check your spam or make sure its not sent to the wrong email
Okay 🙁
or just request a resend
@inland knot i try but it didn't work..
Did the icon uploading part of the server crash? Cause I still can't see my icon.
I can't see it in game.
I can see it on the website but not in game.
hey do you know how i can find avatar im looking for :?
like how i can goa bout it
when you serached every world you can think off what i can do more :?
how r u guys?
Depends on what you're looking for?
m looking everywhere for 1 avatar. It's an avatar of anime girl (probably loli) that can tranform using reactions. 2 sets of tranformations 1 wings transformation that calls drones scaning the area gives her big energy shield in left hand and gun in the right hand that she can shoot. Second transformations slowly turns floor into red grid like blueprint. everything is durring epick song while she does this.
I'm just looking for some cool avatars
Seems quite a project.
someone was inpersonating a devilvper i got there user name on screenshot
deviliper
this is why i think if someone saw it he would remember it is very over the top
Developer*
thats what i ment
The only one I can recall is a giant avatar.
yea this was pretty avrage .. or maby not as tall as avrage
Report them on there report forum -> #moderation-reports
hey i crashed a lot on friday and saturday, is there a place i can send my logs to the devs so they can have a look at it?
thanks
servers having problems rn? I'm not receiving a verification mail
Guys what pertains to language that isn’t a flag or a map, gonna need some serious answers
Syllabary, alphabet, ideograms etc.
I'm not sure what you mean by that, but if you put letters like A Å あ
that could signify language
does anyone know where to find vr chat discords or communities?
This... is the official Discord. 👀
yea but i mean like
more specific communities or people to play with like friend groups n stuff idk
#community-servers-old maybe?
ohk thx
So say you were to display a language in a 3D perspective other than a flag how would you display it without it taking you out of reality?
why cant i frend people?
On vrchat?
yes
It might just be a time lag thing
its not a time lag thing
everythings fkd on the list if you press accept on the website the fking notifications will appear again and you cant add shit
o well how do i fix it
Hey no need to get so agro
I was only trying to give an explanation
then try it first
No need for hostility, my dude.
What do you mean try it first don’t be a dick first how about that
There’s nicer ways to ask
Being aggressive will get you nowhere
I'm trying to learn blender so that I can be able to make an avatar that I wanna make from scratch
Lots of tutorials on YouTube.
What should I try and learn how to do in blender first in your opinon
@peak ermine you know what to do
?
The donut tutorial by blender guru is a good one. Starts off from the very very basics
Ok
But ya
I'm trying to make and anthro version of my oc
But the base for it doesn't exist
So I have to make it from scratch
Like modeling it and all
It's good to start off creating simple things (like a donut lol) then once you're comfortable using blender moving onto humanoid/anthro stuff
Ok
You can also commission it if you have the money.
That too
It’s to true I learned the hard way
But will the donut thing help me learn how to model an avatar lmao
In the long run yes
Trust me
Ok
Cant learn how to fly an airplane if you cant even get the key turned
And learning how to use the tools, move around and ect counts as turning over the key.
Don’t t be me banging your head against the wall 500 times a day not knowing what your doing
How long does it normally take to get to the point of learning how to actually create the avatar
It’s like art
Gotta practice
Learn the basics
Them go up from there
Depends how fast you are with learning programs and how invested you want to be.
But to make an proper high end model from 0? Think more around the time of a month atleast to learn if your quick and follow an tutorial to make one in the end.
People study/practice this stuff for years to get a job normally so 🤷♂️
I went into blender blind myself and it was hell so I'd def recommend going simple
And once you're ready to create your anthro model I've found it helpful to look up tutorials on creating specific things (like watching a tutorial for hands then watching one on creating hair)
Ok
I have a gorgeous head I had made by a 3d artist
I don't have a unique body shape so I had someone on fiverr put it on a body and animate it basically
it's not a total horror show but I know there's someone out there who can do better
but learning blender is like...a lifetime to master
yep
to get good you rly need to spend years on it
i do 3d for 9 years and only now i consider myself able to make a character in 3d
I've been doing a project to promote 3d in a little city in Brazil
had to learn 3d art for that
it's friggin hard lol
if you need help with something jsut dm me :3
i make games in 3d
anyone else having issues with the icon photo it just says no image found
np :3
i like helping ppl with stuff
It seems a few people are. Could be a server issue.
yea
if i am a known user and i buy vrc+, will i be trusted user after?
@heavy jewel .
No, it's not a guaranteed rank up.
hm :? what
anyone know about any roleplay games in vrchat cause i cant find any
hello! basic question, is there a way to view my own profile? (i just got vrchat+ and was wondering how i could see the supposed badge)
you go to the social tab and then at the top you click on yourself
thanks!
and on the right it should display the badge somewhere
actually, it shows im subscribed to vrchat plus but the badge is nowhere to be seen... interesting
The badge is the cat.
@mighty cradle am really sorry, i found your name in this list
I know it is, but there is no cat. There's only text that says VRC+ Supporter
When does VRC+ come to Oculus? I really want to subscribe and get the early supporter badge but I want to wait for it to come out on Oculus...
Am I able to rebind the AFK key to something other than Numpad-End?
why dont you check that yourself
Because I've looked and not found much, so I'm asking just to be sure I didn't miss something
have you tried actually doing it in game?
how many hours until you become a new player?
New user takes usually about 8 hours and requires you to interact with the community a fair bit (around 8~10 friends(you cannot spam that))
You're welcome
you can also get vrc+, which gives you a trust boost to rank up faster ;)
A one time small boost that doesn't stack 
are friend requests borked atm?
Yes.
ah okey, no worries they screenshot my username 🙂
hi do anyone know the name of that famous bar place
I love the 10t weights that just slide right off of them. 
You're gonna have to be a LOT more specific.
it has red stool chairs with beers called " Your favorite beer"
Oh YEAH ;d
do you know the name?
Great pug or great pug west
Isn't that an old world nobody goes to anymore?
That place is consistently populated.
I should know; I go there a lot.
I'm always around in the great pug west when I have free time
ey does anyone have the nutter butter avatar i've been looking all over for it?
Is there a launch parameter to stop VRChat from launching SteamVR? -nohmd isn't working.
Trying to find an alternative to uninstalling SteamVR
--no-vr in launch options.
Oml
Works initially but then if I launch a second copy of it SteamVR still launches
I just outed myself as transgender to my sistah
Congradulations.
She's totally fine with it
Any idea why a second copy still launches SteamVR?
But she's scared I'm just having an identity crisis lmao
Is it launching from launch.bat?
The first one I launch from... the quick menu by the clock
no steamvr... the second one I just right click VRChat window on taskbar and pick VRChat.exe
Steam won't normally let me launch a second copy since Play changes to Stop
Plug it into your pc and you can.
If VRChat runs in desktop mode it can usually handle vr.
Sooo ehh i was playing with some guys earlier today/tonight... anyone that knows a guy that goes around with a radio demon voice and skin ?
when are long term members going to get a higher role....
veteran< , >creator< , & >legendary< ??
this here would give people every more incentive to get a vr+ subscription...
maybe at the very least creators need some reward in the community...
What would the limit be to get the creator tag then and where would it even show up.
Uploading a mmd or basic world aint that hard to do so 👀
there are creators in the vr community that arent that interested or
invested in the new VR+ subscription (not knocking) the idea
maybe it just needs more rewards....
You can't give too many rewards and perks to the subscription. Otherwise it will hurt the player base
It's a balance
Those who get plus, are mostly those who would have donated without anything in return anyway
As of the latest update, player ranking has been downplayed (colored nametags removed, now only seen while the quick menu is open) it would be my guess that the intention is to downplay the importance of them, which I think is the right move. I hope eventually they are moved to only being seen on the detail page, and, ideally, eventually removed from public view entirely.
and thats whats happening unfortunatly...
We hit a new player record last night I believe 
Reeeeeeally? 
Over 27k
And it has not even been christmas yet
no reward to the fanbase who helped create all the worlds..
half of that 27k could be not playing
Recognition not enough for you?
27k wow that's a lot of children
L O l
Man honest to god, most avatar creators can fuck off and the game would improve with how badly they optimize there avatars.
I'm in a number of creator communities... Most support it. Also the devs plan for a way that creators might be able to start making some money as well
I hope they don't make tolls for worlds.
A big and easy donate button would be sick tho.
Nah
And dont forget that an insane amount of public avatars are not allowed to be used at all by the original creator and the uploader just ignored the rules
big gamble I dont need recognition lots of people use avatars and jump world to world so this good luck...
if people start pulling worlds and avatars from the game the subscription is fucked man
thank the creators
It seems all it took was a single subscription model to pull the conspiracy theorists out of the woodwork.
You realize that even 20% of the current active avatar/world uploaders dropping most of there worlds wont have an big impact right?
The game has years of public content made by now.
The issue is that what some see as supporting avatar creators, the average Joe VRChat just sees as VRChat charging for avatars. "User created and user sold content" is very hard for some people to grasp, they just see a game with microtransactions.
They past year of development has been primarily for creators also
people can pull worlds whenever they want lol
Are you a famous world creator? 
I never heard of you.
because they dont give tags out
You expect them to manually give these tags out then?
^
"Don't you know who I am?!"
if they had a vibrant colour for creators in the game it would be better
... No. That would encourage targeting.

Again, would they need to give it out manually then or what requirement would there be.
That's the very reason veteran was removed
Vietnam flashbacks
it hasnt tho has it
vietnam vereran flashbacks
vereran
vrc veteran flashbacks
Veteran was in the game when trust ranks first came out, but it was quickly hidden and removed from the game due to controversy
not what gunter told meh couple of days back lmao
Wenk.
It's still in the api, but not in game
Lets be real, the only person quallified on this topic here is MR.specialtag himself, ghosto 
wad
We can still rank up it in the api. But unless you're using illegal mods, nobody will see it in game
exactly so things can easily change...
But they wont for the better
I'd love to see them remove it in the API just to see all the modded client users try and spin it "i want to look myself up in the API! I used that alot..."
yeh remove it the only thing i want is my creator tag or something like that
Is having a single word attributed to you in the API really that important?
obviously
Again, how would you get the tag, for uploading literally anything?
If so that kinda ruins the point innit
I'm still trying to wrap my head around who you are.
same ^
... You don't know who you are? 
I don't think Artemus ever claimed to be anyone famous.
Nope, I'm just a normal dude.
You did, which is why he's pointing out that he has no idea who you are.
Which, I don't either.
lol
It's like being an extra in a movie and wanting people to recognize you as a big deal.
couldn't have said it better myself

I assume you have a different name in game
what does my name have to do with anything bruh
yes
different name
Well you said you where a well known avatar/world creator (cba to scroll up you said yes to one of those) so its not odd that we wanna know
Round and round and round it goes, when does it stop? Only this guy knows!
lol
You've been advocating for a special tag as if you wanted a trophy but won't tell us why/who you are.
what does any of this matter none of this what im saying right here will change anything.
Or how it would even get assigned to people
Just give us your mixtape and go on your way.
yes you know what im advocating for so stop you know what im going on about so stop.
Famous map creator that won't even say which map he made, that's called a poser.
unless this conversation can become anymore productive after...
then clearly its over.
Agreed.
no please continue
i want drama 🍿
This convo went nowhere.
just like the game
Looked up your account and you haven't uploaded any public maps btw
havent even told you my name of my account so keep looking for it mate

I already found it. I won't out you, that'd be against the rules. But yeah, no maps buddy
sniff sniff, what is this convo?

I have no idea
Late night chat do be intresting
you've just dropped yourself in it mate going against vrchats tos mate
I will say that it's public information that your steam is linked on your discord, lol.
doesnt mean anything again
my vrchat has a different name to my steam account lmao

Indeed it is!
thats just a steam
Let's talk about something new.
yeh lets just forget everything bro
can I get a special rank for being Dain?
You get some exclusive text added to your nametag that spells out your name
Gotta talk with system for that one
ikr
Where can I get that?!

that's crazy

hope they add VR compatibility someday
That'd be rad.
nah, dont think that will happen, vr seems like a gimmick
I really wanna try it though
Try what? 
virtual reality
Like Iron Man? Shit yeah.
Daydream ended support. VR obviously failed
anyone else having trouble uploading image icons for their vrc plus?
Servers are having growing pains atm.
=/
Yeah, apparently the game has had a record high player count this weekend.
We've been setting a new record basically every weekend for months 
Congrats!! Honestly you guys have been killing it lately ^^
gracias
I was there for that first 20k
I was there since day 1
my hope is that the servers don't explode over holiday break so poor System + devops team doesn't have to constantly manage fires
Fairly sure its gonna die the night after christmas
How many people do you think you're reliably equipped to handle?
Even if more servers get added, its never enough.
[Linus' server fire flashback]
Don't really know what kind of max we're equipped to handle-- its a more complex problem than "need more servers"
Yeah, the holidays will be the real test. Hopefully you guys can prevent the game from struggling. You want players to have a good first impression of their vrchat experience
that's about as much as I know
Just upload some VRcats into the server racks as motivation 
Between Xmas and New Year, I expect thousands of new users to break into the scheme, and many desktop users to upgrade their experience.
Just add like 5 or 6 server blades, it'll be fine.
loves vrc so looks up their careers page
Oh. There's an open position for a server engineer!
reads background/experience requirements
I have all these skills except C#!
need to deploy some self improving ai on the vrc servers to run them
RIP lol
Basically qualified to be one of System's minions.
Throw some ice-cubes ontop of the current servers (shhh i know they are not on location) and overclock them. That way you dont even need extra servers!
Sounds like a wonderful idea... 😅
overclock the servers needs to be the new VRChat meme now
Honestly could just migrate all of the servers to northern Canada and leave them outside. They'd cool themselves.
Or warm up the entire country, either is a win.
Ha, that’s a big brain move right there.
Sounds like your set up to become a bitcoin miner Ati
oh, so that explains the whole global warming deal, it was the vrc servers all along
Some more heat here would be nice
You should apply! If you've got the rest of the skills C# is actually pretty easy to pick up from what I understand.
damn, imagine having the privilege to drink coffee in the same server room as System
one of the job requirments should be: not having shaky hands, so you dont spill that coffee
tupper already spills it on the servers enough as is
nono, if you have shaky hands it will cancel out as you bump the mug into tupper's mug
😳
You can overclock a potato all you want, its still a potato.
that just means you did not overclock it enough
at one point it should turn into baked potato
lol
i made myself one o them wiggly ball things with way too many particles. im very proud of myself :P
someone is also proud of you
anybody else having server issues?
anyone want to play among us?
among us?
No.
I have a question. On some avatars, there is this cool glowing outline effect on the avatar, how do I get that?
Those are called "shaders".
Just about any shader with emission on it. Then just go to world with Post Processing bloom
rim lighting on something like unity chan shader
So rim lighting does it?
Unless it is rim lighting like taco suggests
I use poiyomi
i think poiyomi has a rim lighting option somewhere
Yes it does
then yeah that should do that if i understand you right
Poiyomi can do pretty much anything it's very extensive
oh hey tacos
helo
anyone having issues of invites not being sent rn?
oh you're fuzzfurret hai long time no see
ye
i cant even be in a map for two mins without being disconnected
Yes thank you @jade copper this works
niceu niceu
Is the announcement from the 3rd still relevant? I didn't have issues yesterday but I guess I was wrong assuming that was fixed already
Nah, servers are running fine now
im not having succuss
Check out #announcements, we're aware of some ongoing issues and are working on it.
Hope everything works out in getting the servers fixed
Thanks! Appreciate your patience.
Hiccups happen
He must be drinking some of the Seasonal stuff
There you go!
Vrc I love you but you break during peak weekend
finally an announcement about my prob
[hammer/sickle emote here] Our prob. 
Does anyone know where I should post about wanting to find a world creator to help out? I'm a music composer and I wanna start contributing to some VRchat content, but I can't figure out which channel seems to be the right one to offer my talents
i have OVR installed through steam and found the settings to change the bindings of the controllers im using. in the OVR bindings i have buttons binded to be able to move my playspace. For some reason i still cant move my playspace in VR. anybody have a solution?
why is vrchat not letting me friend request
I've found lately I have to restart OVR because sometimes playspace just won't work
thank you ill give it a shot
some of my avatars only show when i expand category
friends list broke
restarting it worked thank you
im about to go insane
its now been 4 days since i have bought vrc+
it broke for me lol
is chat dead
Seeing something really weird if you log out of one account and into a different one you get the friends list of your first account
and can see all the onlines and everything even though they aren't your friend
is there anyone here that can help with my plus
i dont think support is responding anymore
unless they are seeing if they can figure out the issue
Yeah it seems to keep everything that was previously loaded. I've experienced that for a while. If I switch to an alt for a video or something, often the friends list and even loaded avatars would persist unless I fully logged out and closed the game first
when a gril pet you for having cat ears and your just confused n then everyone starts group petting you n calling you the group pet which confuses you more n makes you feel awkward cause you dunno wtf just happened*
Mine took a bit to activate if you've only just recently paid for it I'd say give it a little bit
Try restarting your game too, helped me
i bought it 4 days ago
Hm that is a bit off then, do you have multiple accounts?
Could have accidentally bound it to another account
my steam account which i use is linked to the account "Futs" which is the one i am using
i have made sure multiple times and i have tried to contact support
they stopped responding
Sorry that's happening
i cant do anything about it at this point because of steams no return policy
Did you talk to steam about it? Maybe they could possibly help to some degree
the purchase was registered on steam and its active, so i do believe its on vrchats side
i may try that but i am able to see the VRChat - VRChat Plus (Monthly) thing when i go into the subscriptions tab
it even gave me the free month
NEXT BILLING DATE
Feb 3, 2021
Could be a goof up somewhere
Maybe steam didn't send the money on accident or had a hiccup
If they confirm it all worked on their end then you could send that to support as well
i will try to contact steam support, but spark seemed to have cleared up its not on steams side
You never know but hope everything gets fixed for you
Yo anyone know how to hook up a psvr to pc vr chat
there are some tutorials on how to do it but its pretty complicated and actually wouldnt work for me
so for some reason my headset doesn't want to register my voice but I can move my body I have an occulus quest 2
Gg vrc for removing people I have on my favorites list
lol hi Astrostar
Hoi
Nope it isn't and my settings is on the occulus mic as well @uncut totem
so your mic isnt turned down in the vrchat settings?
Does anyone know any club-like worlds that aren’t too resource intensive? looking to throw a party for some people with not so great computers. @ me if possible, thanks!
Nope it isn't
does anyone know why i keep getting put into empty worlds even though it says there are people in it and how to fix it?
did system break the thumbnailatron 9000 again
hihi
bruh fr can someone help with this bullshit its been like this for a fucking week and its pissing me off
game out of date?
thats usually the reason
i mean ill check but it should auto update
how do you vote kick?
someone presses it then the logo appears next to the mic icon
but how do you click it on desktop mode?
Esc.
Oh, you mean how to initiate it on desktop?
where is it in the menu?
Profile menu.
Vivi man u just made me feel like a fucking idiot but thank you
happens lol
Thoughts of applying to work on VRC
why did they even make it so that trust ranks can be pay to win
it completely defeats the purpose imo.
its a tiny boost
It's not pay to win at all. It's a one time very small boost. Not enough to rank anyone up past visitor-new. It's the same as uploading a world or adding friends is a "trust boost"
regardless, it just seems like a randomly added thing just to include more features
may just be my opinion tho
It makes perfect sense tbh... The whole point of the trust system is to deter people from being banned, and just coming back on a new account to upload a new avatar and harass. Showing that you are willing to support the devs is kinda proof that you do care at least a little
it wouldn't happen to be possible to make it so that i can see all avatars except for the lewd ones?
I'd guess no
idk lol
well there are the buttons that allow you to pick what your avatar is when you upload it but those arent even linked to anything xD
lewd avatars arent even allowed in this game to begin with so i doubt they would add that feature
i mean, they could add a NSFW checkbox when uploading something, but that would require them to monitor every single upload
They have that
yeah and also that wouldnt account for the years of uploads that already exist
It doesn't really do anything
wait so all those anime girls are actually not allowed? why are they everwhere
yeah its a dummy button
the lewd ones arent. even though they never seem to enforce it at all...
literally been to public avatar worlds that use pieces of tape as clothing.. how is that even allowed?!
huh problem is I am 16 years old and I play this game with my friends but I don't want my parents to think i'm playing some sexual game or something
i mean i could turn all the avatars off except for friends but then that kinda just ruins it
yeah the game is 13+ yet this stuff is hella common
Fr bro and there’s a lot of furry stuff as well
well i mean furry stuff isnt bad
at least the furry stuff isnt lewd
Not necessarily but some are a little over the top
it's the almost naked anime stuff that is the problem
well i guess
and there was some guy who was fully nude
Im too anxious to like actually speak lol, people are scary
i have to do that for everyone lul
yeah that sux though. and it doesnt do anything for when they just loaded in.
this wouldnt be a problem if that rule was enforced...
its called literally any club world or world that has locking rooms. they flock to those worlds like crazy..
black cat too as a matter of fact
black cat attracts people of every type. including lewd people.
but mostly toxic folk
yeah thats why i only ever go in there if there is atleast 1 friend there
dammit scoured my whole meme folder and i still need 33 more icons
are you trying to fill every icon slot? xD
i have over 10 years of memes on my computer. of course i am going to try to fill every icon slot
im not sure how you still have open slots with that many memes
is the meditation sit position a new standard animation for every avatar? and if yes, which key?
well when said memes involve a certain furry site or things im sure would not be approved, ya kinda gotta pick and choose
and i didnt say all of them were good memes
not all avatars will have the meditation pose. some people replaced it with their own animations
Did the performance get worse by the way?
why am i crashing evetuy 5 to 10 minutes?
Anyone know why Vrchat plus isn’t working for me? I just purchased it.
You sure you did the payment and didnt just add funds to your steam wallet?
after u added the funds to ur steam account did u go back and purchase it?
Might have to reload the game once or twice for it to properly register on your end
Okay. It added the image part, but I didn’t get my trust rank or favorited avatar slots.
You only get a small trust rank boost, there isnt a new special rank and if your user or above its not even sure you rank up.
And if you can put the photo, you should have it.
As #announcements said the servers are a bit slow and stuff
Also you should have the
top right of ya menu (try clicking it a bunch if you do)
left index stopped registering touch input on the control stick. fortunately i still got 4 days of warranty left
also plus just boosted me from user to known user lol
btw again why am i crashing evet 10min or so like he game feezes up and then it crashes
back to dektop
dident start doing that until today
Your output and crash logs should provide more details. It's worthwhile reaching out to Support with them so we can investigate
Does anyone have the prefab for the iwavideoplayer2.4
Are you guys aware of the host bug that makes people their voice lag and make them be in a chair somewhere on the map?
Literally everyone is @unborn wyvern
yeah the question was aimed at the vrchat team.
Yes.
its been more than a month with this darn bug
Alright, at least you guys are aware
Anyone got the iwavideoplayer2.4 prefab? I can only find 2.2
To offer some clarification: it may seem simple on a surface level for us to tackle a bug like that but it's actually very involved and we've gotta be careful to avoid breaking other things. Can promise that the host voice bug is being worked on though, but appreciate your patience.
Haha i didnt know staff was yellow guys, hi staff guy
Hello!
Mornin people
Hi!
Does anyone at least know where I can find all the common prefabs I see in multiple worlds like the video player, I cant seem to find these prefabs on like booth.pm
oh hey @golden scaffold i got some feedback on my canny post in retrospect it wasnt as great as i thought it was but the feedback i got was really helpful and i was wondering if at some point i could pick your brain
Honestly, it could use a little work but I like a lot of the ideas.
can you share the link again?
im too hungry and drunk to reacxh oiut for support thoue i thought this was enouth for a adaquit an swer XDD
oh i havent written anything solid yet
I saw a canny link earlier but I lost it
just got an better idea of what some people might want from a UI speaking to shanie
you know shanie right?
Nop
ill grab their discord for you
It's generally not my job to make big design decisions so I may not be the right person for something like that. It's best to keep in our Canny and if a Team Member can answer to some of the points you've listed, they may respond. Appreciate the effort you're putting into putting together the feedback though!
I would def like the kinda "details" profile to be part of what shows up when you first click on someone, instead of having to click them, then click details.
Having social info, or location if someone wants, and a bio, etc. one click away would be awesome
oh fair enough but its always good to get some feedback from anyone no matter who, just thought as you work with the team you might be able to help distinguish it a bit more and help improve it before posting rather posting 15 iterations of the same post with minor tweak's
dont want to be cluttering the place with shit ideas y'know
i like to try and create them with as much effort as i can
I'll keep an eye out, if there's something I can contribute with then I'll respond. 🙂
go big or go home as they say
Thank you !
Safety settings should do the job for now
Safe Mode will mute any users who are not your friends.
@west yoke @winter sierra so i have a question for you, considering the map idea i think you're right maybe i was a tad stubborn before scrapping a map what do you think about a time zone marker or a clock that would indicate a players time zome or time?
or do you think that would be abusible too?
theres a safe mode now?
hmm? I thought the purpose was for something else but I think just leaving it to city location is best tbh.
yeah, it's existed since 2018 (https://steamcommunity.com/games/vrchat/announcements/detail/1669018404081368058)
ooh i wasnt even gonna specify a city location just a general geographical location like the uk or ireland or maryland or DC etc etc
oh damn thats something i wasnt aware of, thanks for pointing that out
i agree but in a scoial setting it limits conversation topics sometimes and i get kids can be should be on the platform but whats stopping them from just saying their 18
plenty of people did it in my day
Yeah but with the age thing it's a bit strange as it's not exactly difficult to lie about your age. And there is the possibility of a kid sounding more mature then others.
Or even an adult sounding like a kid so.
Yeah I'd be cool with country and state / province, but don't really wanna have my city on there
yeah that was the idea i think some poeple got it a bit confused though
maybe i should have had it a bit more detailed
I currently have a bug where I add people and they add me back but it doesn't show on either the website or social tab. Will they be added to my friends list or will I have to write down the names and add them in a day or so once it resolves itself?
but ive been told its a bit immersion breaking so i think ima scrap that feature
hi
probally best to write them down in case but i believe i had that issue at one point and i personally thin it was just a time sync issue
Sounds like a plan, thank you.
might be different in your case though
Yeah I am not too sure because apparently I showed up on their list for a second before disappearing.
oh yeah thats defiantly different
duck likes to fuck after the fuck he says good luck
i need people to help me becouse im getting bullied heavly on the game
you can get proof and send a report if things are really out of hand
i keep doing that and they just get mates on me
and i quit it becouse i can not talk the anxois anymore
#moderation-reports has all the relevant info on how to send in a report
