you're probably thinking of quantum dot lcd's
Well, mondern displays have LED backlights, but other then that no LED involved. 😄
get the $300 stupid headset instead of the $1000 stupid headset
Had a vrchat friend visit me , he played using a reverb g1 on a laptop, this wasnt a 🥔 tho
and you don't have to spend $1000 on a headset.
You can spend $1000 on a headset with controllers and base stations.
Or you can spend a lot less on earlier gen products that are second hand like the Rift S or something
🤷♂️
idk
No, forget about what they said.
Go to a world with faster walk/run speed, mine is 22 🐇 gotto go fast
quantum dot displays are abbreviated as QLED/QDLED displays and people probably misattribute them with OLEDs, as the former is still using LCDs
then we've got the new up and coming micro led
you dont, its a test world and likely crash you its very big
gotta go fast with a beefy PC
mostly test in desktop but 'walking' in it will break your legs fly sideways cause of the speed
🤔 dont think you know how pc's work

get a better computer?
try holding shift as you launch the game, and then lower the quality and resolution if your PC is underpowered for the game.
Also, different worlds will have different performance, and using safety settings to limit particle and shader effects on other people's avatars can help
Thats fine, vrchat will be laggy some laptops cant run it and get explodey avatars cause of their old gpu
the laptop being old or new has no bearing on whether or not it has powerful or weak hardware inside it
of storage?
storage has nothing to do with anything
Processor, graphics, ram, these things have to do with performance
Well old does give enough clue in terms of laptop.. and given that they lag in desktop mode allready. 
A new and good computer is.
But if it shall do VR then that wont be cheap.
Hello does anyone have any quest fairy tail avatars I could copy I’ve been searching far and wide
If you lag in desktop mode it's not good.
probably not? like I said, you can change the resolution, and customize your safety settings, and try not going to worlds that are super heavy on graphics.
But if you are running on weak hardware (like integrated graphics) then you aren't going to have a good time
nope. there is currently nothing in place to indicate the performance level of a world
if it doesn't then there is good avatars around and or the world is nicely optimized. 
eventually I'm sure there will be just like with avatars, but for now there isn't
what is vror?
oh you mean VR or (you just didn't put a space)
I play VR using a computer
^
if you are asking if I play using VR or a mouse and keyboard then I use VR when I want to, and mouse and keyboard when working on avatars and worlds to do testing
nope
Can any of u make a avatar that has cool ability’s ???
you would have to send a friend request either in game, or on the website. but you would need to know my username in game
@cinder aspen describe the abilities of which you are looking for? also, there should be a dedicated channel for asking about avatar commissions
Well like a fairy tail erza that can just spawn a sword and change armour through emotes
does
you're most likely gonna have to pay money for a commission of a custom avatar with things like that
just so you know
that would be an avatar with custom shaders and animations. again, you really should customize your safety settings to limit that stuff
So is it possible though
anyone know.
any good animal avatar worlds ping me
of course it is @cinder aspen
I have shaders and animations disabled for all non-friends personally
it was a visual effect that came from the avatar. disable that stuff in safety settings
The default safety settings are terrible
Who could make my request ??
my best recommendation is this:
In safety settings, for all user levels including friends level
disable everything BUT voice and avatar.
Then, if you are hanging out with someone, and you want to see all the shaders and effects on their avatar, you can point at them and manually show avatar
@cinder aspen look in #community-servers-old, VRCTraders especially
sounds like you have a cheap and weak laptop that isn't made for gaming
but rather light tasks like web browsing and watching videos and stuff
Any reason you randomly ping that user out of the wild here. 
perhaps they are besties? maybe that's the two of them in the PFP
That's what DM's are for.
i cant tell why
Then it's nothing for this Discord.
now it has become a ghost ping
yes
hmm
nobody
ghost with the most ping
yes but the game is still being rendered in 1440p is it not?
The VR renderer is different from the desktop renderer.
You can set the desktop renderere to 720p even and VR will stay VR
So launching with a smaller desktop window will lessen usage?
a full HD desktop window running while in VR is like running the streaming camera, performance wise?
Ayyyyy
Hiiii.
Wass up
Oop im new here and have no idea what im doing lol
Same
I personally run my desktop window in the lowest resolution and quality, and to help further with performance, I downsize the window so it technically isn't being rendered at all
Just ply vr chat init
only time I do higher quality desktop is if I'm recording or streaming gameplay and I only go to 1080p in windowed mode with it
I just got off vrchat lol
or if I'm loading into desktop mode to do testing with world and avatars I'm making
nope. never met you before in game for the 3+ years I've been playing
it happens though, when you eventually meet with certain people you start traveling around in the network of friends rather than meeting randoms in public
very tall nsfw avatars
not sure if others have been seeing them
grey heads and stuff
I see NSFW avatars all the time lol. but only in private worlds. I haven't encountered NSFW running around in public in a hot minute
i have
hi
more than 8+ times
what worlds?
Gym, ect
im new to VR chat
all the og worlds
and are they visitor/new user levels or higher level players?
damn.
certainly weren't in vr
@gilded lagoon hi new to VR chat, I'm dad
Lol
🙂
How do you go into online VR chat?
i have an anime avatar and the funny part is
uh, install the game, load it up, and have an active internet connection?
yes
open worlds menu, and go to a public instance of whatever world you want
ok
Hi I went and asked for my request to be made thanks for whoever told me how to : )
and just to clarify, you are willing to pay for it right?
Yh
@wraith locust yes.... yes it is
goosenana
@cinder aspen you should get that pfp made into an avatar lolol
I should but don’t wanna spend too much lol 😂
that would be the best, especially if the banana peels on the side are arms and you wear it with full body
Nah I’ve made my request and that’s all I’m ready for
this is my firdt time on VR chat
why is vrchat breaking
Oh hi and welcome

in vr?

That's why.
ive played this game for 2 and a half years, never had this much trouble

The hell is this?
⊙ω⊙
Bircon (like bacon, but made from birds)
w.o.e lmao
You just got car VR? Nice.
tfw new and still learning and someone starts cursing you out for adding them. Like legit laying into with slurs.
10/10
Was it a kid? 
Hard to tell. I don't think so.
This game is weird
Met some really chill people, and some legit assholes
Where can I find people besides midnight club and the other front page defaults?
Quest or PC?
random page usually seems safe. less people, less chance of thos people
Quest but I can use PC if the base is less toxic.
i meam, pc might be better.... but idk
Quest is overwhelmed with kids at the moment.
Just wanna talk to people without the giant avatars/5 year old screening/ etc.
Gotta get those social skills going
dont use an avatar thats 4ft tall lol
im 5 hi guys
seen a few people call me giant but im just 5ft lol
bro my avatar is 34 inches tall
every avatar is either a giant or super small
Tiny Diluc! 
the only in between are humans
arte make a tiny one
I don't know how!
no there are some super small human avatars
My avatar is 6 inches tall 
Smol boy.
how much smaller is this one compared to your old tda one?
Oh, my current main is about chest height compared to my old one
smol
wait, so shorter?
Add me, broski.
arte do i have u added
send profile
I had you do the bias check, remember? 
Yes. For some backwards-ass reason.
x
It's an "s" with a "swash tail".
idk on phone it shows an x
That might be why.
hello
Your Scandanavian(?) phone isn't stronk enough.
wat
You're from the Nordic region, right?
no im american
Oh.
AMERICA
I must've been thinking someone else.
Guess phones don't support non-standard unicode then?
prob
Surprised it shows up as "x" instead of a box though.
yea
Hey all! I'm creating an rp for some peeps i gathered if anyone wants to join. And also, PLEASE does anyone know any good forest maps to use for survival?
Much appreciated!
I think you're thinking of Rift S. The only 2 is the Quest 2. 
I think you mean a quest 2? Or the rift S. I use a Quest 2 and it gets the job done
But keep in mind I do recommend you buy a power bank and some kind of eye cover
The battery life is its biggest flaw for the Quest 2 and the memory foam eye cover causes irritation. For me at least
Oh I don’t know much about the rift S. Maybe someone else can help you out
Same for me
I have a Rift S, it's decent. Though, with both Rift and Q2 you need a Facebook account.
I feel like my eyes are on fire
Anyone here have a meowscles skin for quest?
The hell is that?

Mmm...

I don't think this is possible on Quest. 
I've seen a few... but the optimization might hinder their appearance on Quest.
You have a point
Sucks for Facebook.
I feel like it’s a little odd to need a Facebook account for the quest
I haven’t had my quest 2 for too long but I’m pretty sure the games don’t transfer from quest to quest right?
I think it's on your account, no?
@lunar onyx it's super odd and super creepy
What is?
I think it's all on your oculus/facebook account, but I'm unfamiliar with all of that stuff because connecting social media to video games is kinda...
Oh the Facebook account requirement
Oh I thought you meant my name 
I hate that Facebook can just arbitrarly brick my oculus if they decide to ban me
Haha nah
Wait they can do that?
Man that’s such a dumb thing to do
Yeah it's made be extra super paranoid about commenting on things
Me Omw to eat Facebook: 
I got a week ban on June for saying "antimaskers are stupid, if you don't wear a mask your an asshole" so they don't hesitate to bann you
that can create bias
I think that's now called hate speech, but I don't know, I'm not a plumber.
nowdays, probably yes
I guess I just don't get social norms.
because you said something against a group of people (even tho you're right, and science gives you right too)
Politics are a hell of a topic.
It... depends. If ALL people who don't wear masks are assholes, that's probably not the right way to go about it. Some people don't wear masks for legitamate medical reasons, so they shouldn't be called assholes for something they can't help.
everyone who thinks about that for more then a second knows that he didn't meant those people
Yeah
but that's the motto nowdays: don't think
One we don't talk about here.
Yep.
Facebook clearly has that motto written on every wall of their headquarters.
Anyway, nice to meet you all and sorry for jumping into that conversation
Hello.
but yeah... the whole oculus/facebook thing is... just plain bad.
I really hope those lawsuits have some good effects.
I've just never really been a supporter of "always online" sorts of things. Like hardware that's legitimately unusable without a very specific type of software, or games.
me too
One of them is calling for the break ups of some of Facebook's assets, meaning that oculus could very well become it's own company again. Maybe.
that's why my IoT stuff has custom firmware on it and only talks to my homeserver ;)
I think the lawsuits target Whatsapp and Instagram.
One of them do
And if they're investigating those types of actions on one side of facebook, who's to say the other sides are gonna be let off?
well, it already is it's own company, but owned by FB. And that Oculus forces their customers to use a facebook account is against some laws in the EU, that's why germany has that lawsuit
I guess all we can do is watch and keep our fingers crossed.
mhm, would be nice for all those oculus users outthere...
New phone who dis?
is there a way to auto show all avatars for quest?
If they're not optimized for Quest, no.
Seriously, #quest-faq when?
What's the best way to request Discord channels on the Canny? 

fix the game
Who?
me
Get to it then.
no
Then you are useless. Off with your head!
😔
Hi
Hi there.
Hi
FUS.
Like a fart in the wind.
precisely
hello
Anyone know anything about cross development for avatars and how to optimize them without breaking their key maps
can anybody make me a rias Gremory avatar please
no
tuff
Sup
heya
HI
I just got off vr chat and boy was it a terrible day for me lol
!online
There are 15262 users in VRChat currently
thats a lot of people
its usually doubled now
how do i make sure people dont clone my skin?
turn off avatar cloning in settinfs
should be somewhere in the center bottom of the settings tab
ok found it
!online
There are 15004 users in VRChat currently
nice bot
Can someone add me? I’m bored asf and wanna see some funny shiz
Wooow fine you aren’t invited to the night club
sure why not, I got nothing better to do.
only issue is it's 3 in the morning lol
Lmao
Well I just got woken up by my grandmother over a pup. So I’m basically up for the day
It’s horrible because that pup even tho we have it 30 mins outside used the bathroom in the damn pin. And Yeah worst part was that the water hose is frozen completely so I had to manually remove the shite
I wanted to never wake up like this again
oh my god
So I’m up and ready to play vr btw I use the link so I might lag at times
Hey I use Oculus link too
Do you use the type C to type c? Or the official link cord for oculus quest?
I just use a random USB 3.0 cable that I have
It actually works really well for Oculus link
decently long too
So I had a question about tho so what exactly does the usb 3.0 look like? I have a small one but don’t know if it is the same thing everyone talks about or something different
And google hasn’t helped me out either
fuckin hard to describe
Uuhhj
Cable I use is orange, plugs into my quest and a usb port on my pc.
basically oval shape to square shape cable
So a basic usb cable but with the ultra connection
pretty much
I might have one somewhere in here then
So I kinda got a bugged model for a pc desktop and the locations are switched on my plugin board
Vrc is Ageha_Demise
k thx
It’s the same across all platforms and np
mobile website layout is weird aaa
ok I sent you a friend request
I don't really talk in game because I'm not comfortable with that sort of thing
Ikr? and it’s alright I don’t talk much either lol
Despite how much I text here tho
Yeah but I like the cool avatars with custom actions they also sometimes get the point across the only time I ever really spoke was with some guys from over seas who were talking about different languages and how they each sound indifferent from eachother
And text chat is possible but you don’t wanna go through the extra steps for it
I can't find good avatars that aren't anime but I did find something like ten times better
buff cat
No
lol
I must have it to finish my collection
Also I found a doom breaker avatar and he has a shotgun flamethrower and anime vibing song pack
oh nice
I think I have an avatar that has a cool gun that does stuff
it has a sword too
I still am searching for this one skin I saw before
It was like a 3D Among us impostor with a awesome glitch gun
Like you had to see it to understand how awesome this avatar was
oh nice
Lol
Btw rn I’m trying so hard to find a usb 3.0 so I don’t lag so much if we get on VRChat
alright
Found one hopefully this works
!online
There are 14507 users in VRChat currently
eeh as long as it works lol
Yep well let me log in I’ll see you in the world
it's like 4 am for me right now so I'll be online in like 7-8 hours
WeeWDiedrich
Got it
accepted
Oh got you got a buff cat
ye
Can’t wait for in 7-8 hours to see his muscles lol
strong cat
But yeah I’m gonna explore a bit and see if I can find some more avatars
I’ll report in when I’m done
I actually used to play VRChat on my quest
I upgraded my PC just a couple days ago and tried VRC
it was insane
I just got a Omen 25L and it can’t really run vrc like I thought it would
I kinda was like hey it’s got a decent cpu and gpu let’s do this and it didn’t go so well
rip
Probably
Tbh if I got the link and it didn’t work I would probably just use it normally
I don't know how but vrc runs well on a 1070
Can someone Tell me what is a Thot?
Thaaanks duuude
no problem
how do i save or convert a avatar from unity to .avatar for LIV
Tried searching for an attack on titan world already...?
yeah but there are no avatars there
Look up anime avatars you should find something there
does anyone play phasmophobia
Anyone experiencing lag to 11fps over 94% in resolution settings?
Hi, how do I get permission to make skins?
It's weird whenever I slight the bar to even 100
any1 got a yumiko avatar?
play the game until you get "new user" rank. You will also get an email
It can take a few hours before you get it
My GPU ram went 7.4GB
🤢
can someone here help me
without asking your question, no
@vocal shard thanks bro
haha i just wanna see if anyone is not afk. anyway i cant register in vrchat. it says unknown error occured
Did you try making an account on the website instead?
yea tried both in my headset and pc. same unknown error occured. all box are checked tho and verified as not bot too
Oh so that is the website. Have no idea why you said headset.
Anyway, that happen with any browser as well?
i mean i was registering in the browser of my quest. hmm yea tried chrome and edge.
The last thing I would do is changing DNS and if that doesn't help, trying a VPN.
Otherwise you may need to contact #vrchat-support
hmm ill try the support as i have no idea how to change DNS or use VPN xD
asking again does someone know how to convert/save a ".unity" as a LIV compatible data like ".avatar"
DNS isn't hard
https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
As for VPN, typically people do it through a app and it's as simple as clicking one button.
!online
There are 16226 users in VRChat currently
i tried vpn before with free softwares. and i think none of them worked as my netflix didnt change and i still see videos from youtube blocked from my country
just contact the support
don't bother with that dns and vpn crap
it would be less of an hassle to just open a ticket with them
Guys anyone know where i can go clubbing or apply for dj or sme shit
Please those living in Sydney NSW stay at home and party on VRChat instead of IRL

it's rising~
Can the in game camera take videos? I know it can take photos and somehow stream.. But can't figure out how to record a video.
I clicked the link in game. (open the menu and click the vrc+ tab)
If you are playing the steam version, there will be a big banner for it above your quick menu. Just click on it.
If you are playing some other version besides Steam, you can’t
It can’t.
You can record the stream camera with obs
Ahhh
fixed it
i need a bit of advice. what specifically do you have to do with your account to gain the ability to create an avatar
Interesting. Thanks @languid beacon!
and get new user or buy vrc+
i have been for a few hours
?upload
You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.
As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.
Source: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions
they told me 20-40+ hours
in total?
well
thats a broad average but not a guaranteed given in any way
idk
There is no time limit.
it can be more it can be less
ok
hii
i just bought vrc+ xd
The best way to think about it is vrchat has a bunch of invisible achievements and it won’t tell you what they are, but once you hit enough of them, you get upload.
You can do also quest?
One of them might require spending a few hours in game but time alone won’t get you anything
I do not understand the question
VRChat works for quest, if that’s what you are asking
oo
how do i check my rank because the best i can do is go to safety and it says user
open the menu and look up
By playing the game. 
yes but playing the game how?
either with keyboard and mouse or a VR headset
ffs I mean what do i do in the game to rank up
ok
There is no list like " 5xp for 1min of talking" or anything like that. 
don't go in private and stay afk there, you wont rank up
^dont idle
Yeah I got 600 hours and just got known user about a week ago
how do you check your vr chat password?
by trying to log in and seeing if the password you typed in is correct
no how do you see the password that the account has
you can't. You can reset it tho
how
well i think i know how but i dont even know the email adress
its just my first account from a while ago
you need the email adress. If you don't have it then you're pretty much out of luck. You could try contacting vrchat support, but they probably can't help you because there is no way to prove ownership other than with the email adress
well shi-
I had known at 152 hours...
It's really, REALLY not time based.
I've heard that it's friends based. More friends of higher rank the better it effects your rank
it's part feedback from other users and part hidden objectives
there is no confirmation if it's true or not
and uploading content to get further than user I think. But it's all fucking voodoo
deleting uploaded content effects rank too.
???
I would wager any trust bonus gained from uploaded content is removed if said content is deleted
This was pretty commonly observed soon after the trust system was added. People ranked down after deleting all their uploads.
If most of your trust is not due to uploads, or most of your content is uploaded as private, you're probably not getting any trust from uploads.
So deleting them will be harmless
but upload something big that gets you to rank up? yeah taking it away will undo it. You can search this server for people talking about it.
Hmm
Surprised you're questioning me, seemed pretty commonly assumed
it's bullishit until properly confirmed by the dev team
i must have deleted more than 100 avatars since the trust rank was introduced and never deranked and I have quite a few friends with the same situation
it doesn't mean anything
yeah same, deleted avatars and lots of friends and didn't derank
I had a friend go down from known to user by deleting 300 friends
there's likely a contribution but there's more factors
I doubt they’d confirm anything about the trust system.
i had two pretty popular worlds so I'm guessing that was the bulk of trust
they wouldn't, but if you really wanted to know, you could conduct some experiments
so it's just speculation so don't say like it's a fact
spreading misinformation smh my head
i mean if you think about it
there aren't many actions you can do that can be turned into a score
"playing the game and having meaningful interactions" means nothing to a system that counts variables
You can be pretty smart with it
it doesnt mean anything either when they can manually adjust it as they fit too
as seen with vrc+
you likely just get a flat amount that's enough to cross one threshold
i have a friend that managed to rank a bot account by just staying in a corner in public worlds
occasionnaly adding 1 friend every other week
there's also that japanese bot account that was always online in japan town
friend requesting everyone
oh ya that one
he's legendary
tbf he's been playing since like end 2017- early 2018
What we know is that the trust system is blind to visuals and voice chat. But even then I can see it being fairly easy to filter the trouble makers from those using the system properly or even those giving a positive experience to others,
the system can be abused, but it seems like a waste of time as it takes a while, which is the point of it
And it’s easy to assume they will use the metrics that are available to them
You can make bots and send them over to do different things and compare the outcomes to get a pretty close estimate to what has how much weight
or not even bots, can be done manually but would be tedious
trust system has to be serverside somewhere
So, the system knows when you friend others, when you block, mute, vote kick, warn, clone, upload content, and it knows how often people block or hide content you have made, etc. it is safe to assume they will basically have a fairly good idea of who should not rank up.
if you think of the sheer volume of people playing the game, you can assume which things can realistically be quantified
voice and visuals obviously make no sense
Yes, that’s what I said
things that the api already displays obviously do
I'd assume that popularity of your worlds has the highest weight
Since it's the hardest thing to abuse
As it relies on other people
That is commonly the biggest way to rank up, inviting friends over to your labs world
It could even depend on the rank of the people visiting
Speculation...
But there's already the heat rating of your world so why not just use that to count
For a system like this you just want as many reliable variables as you can get without them being too easy to abuse
But yes it is fact, getting friends into your labs world helps you rank up, it’s been done multiple times and it ranks people up far outside the realm of chance
Of course they could always make multiple systems or change it whenever they want if people start getting too privy
I don't think they'd change it much apart from changing weights or adding some conditions
Like a limit to how much rank juice you get from one world
Considering it’s been around for over a year now and people still aren’t sure how it works seems like they did a good job
Honestly, it really doesn't seem that obscure to me
weird off-topic question that probably doesn't have a concrete answer; does anyone know what is within the realm of acceptable response to displays of pseudo-physical affection
When spamming friend requests and having popular worlds helps
people keep reaching out to touch me with their virtual fingers and i don't know how to react
To me it’s never really felt like “how much do you play” but “how much are you engaged”
Jun, are they giving you headpats or something else?
headpats
I wouldn't take it too seriously
I usually just... well. respond like a cat tbh, rub my head in their hands lmao
but yeah, you can ignore it entirely if you want
Yeah I don’t know how to react to that either, it makes me very awkward. I just kinda freeze and wait for it to be over, this is how cats must feel
ehehehe kitty y
i'm on desktop lol
slow blinks at you
Yeah I mean if you have a face expression that makes you look cute that would probably be the best time for it
Hey where would I ask about how to get a skull kid majoras mask avatar
find it in a world, just like any other avatar
worlds > search > "majoras mask"
Tried failed cried
:pats:
Slow blinks at you, one eye slightly later than the other
search twice, world search doesn't work properly the first time you search
Is there also a room for just giant skins?
this game has thousands of worlds
took me a while to remember how to spell thousand
Will vrchat bite the bullet and rename avatars to skins? Lol
No
Seems like a lost cause at this point though
Avatar is actually a surprisingly accurate term.
we debatting if its called avatar or skin?
An avatar is you, incarnate in another body, into another world. Which is literally the meaning of avatar, before the computer age.
yea, and a skin is a retexture of an existing model usually
i just dont get where the term skin is coming from all of sudden
Fortnite
Probably the 12 year old fortnite players plaguing vrchat cause they got quest 2's for christmas.
i dont think its because of fortnite, or we would have a fortnite plague in vrchat already
Hey not all the Questmas kids are annoying, I’ve met many polite and genuinely interested and excited ones too who show promise of being future game developers
But yes a player model being referred to as a skin comes from fortnite
Fortnite and Minecraft are the two most popular games right now and they both call them skins
minecraft also reffers to them as skins
But skins are different in ways players don’t really care about. Typically they are variations of the same character
The name comes from “reskin” from when they used to be just a texture swap. But skins often are unique models or even unique armatures these days
Yeah... Saying vrchat uses skins would imply everyone is running around with recolours of the same character... Oh wait

Yeah fact is it’s not an inaccurate term, lol
id rather say "its a skin of <enter generic MMD egirl avatar here>"
But avatar has the historical significance because snow crash and ready player one both called them avatars 👍
skin and avatar are not really interchangeable (is that even a word lol)
Is what a word?
hi
interchangable
my friend told me about the game is it good?
They really are tbh
its what you make it be
I think at this point they are pretty interchangable. LoL and Valorant still call them skins but that might be a riot thing
If you think of “skins” as just re-texture is you’re probably just not used to more modern games that have skins being a full unique armatures and models and animations
Hopefully I can create a account today
They are very interchangeable terms, except when it comes to avatar it’s has implied personal representation as a “person” rather than a “player”
christmas quest children are so obnoxious
Agreed
For example, a bot would not be an avatar, as it has no person behind it
But some are fun lol
its fun watching them
no all of them suck
I find it only gets really bad when it hits critical mass
1 or 2 kids is fine and they are just youthful energy
7 is chaos and miserable
they wear the stupid brush avatar and scream no-no square.
some of them diss pc players and call them “poor”
only few arent stupid
then flexx with your index fingers and full body
^
Dump a anime waifu model into a VRChat world and it’s not an “avatar”, it’s just a “model” since an avatar requires a player to be using it
i dont have full body but i have an index
then just flexx with your fingers ^^
ok
i like to casually mention that im using FBT + index controllers on my quest 2, while my index is broken
the forbidden combo
still not 100% taking the dive for FBT. Debating just hooking up a kinect to try it first
i jumped straight into vive trackers
vive trackers are worth it
yeah it's not perfect but honestly the space problem is more the concern than the price
it set me back 400€, but well worth it
Thinking of minecraft skins when i hear 'skins' its the same avatar just different look
It’s not really a game, it would be best to just try it out and see if you like it it’s a hangout place
you dont need a whole lot of space, but if you are lacking space then you probably will just sit around in a chair with your FBT......which is what i do anyways
You could try the cheaper fbt device coming soon~
that being what @vocal shard ?
Tundra tracker ? abit early there
Haven't been keepin up with the tech. what's on the way?
do we even know a price yet?
All i know the battery is potato on vive trackers at 740mAh , even a normal rechargable battery can easy get 2500-3000 , also about time they get some competition
@everyone Somebody posetd a google doc link to a bunch of awesome resources and I can't find it anywhere if someone can post it I would be eternally grateful! Happy New Year!
"soon"
they last 4 hours though
they didnt even start the kickstarter campaign
imagine trying to @ several hundred thousand people
I play vrchat easy 8-12 🐇
buddy. Don't @ everyone. That's basic discord etiquette
index gets heavy and hot after like 3-4 hours already
well thtas why i have battery packs for my trackers @odd blaze
i dont mind the battery life at all
Hey
They could just make the battery larger , but hey accessory you have to buy ,moh money
the vive trackers were never designed for this purpose (which is obvious given their colossal form factor)
i made a ghetto trackstrap plus with a single 20000mAh power bank and a USB hub
you can easily make your own battery pack yeah
i have a 3D printed design for a DIY trackstrap plus
if i didnt make any errors they last like 40 hours now
yeah i've read the link
dont the trackstrap plus only have like a 1800mAh battery inside?
kickstarter in january
first batch of unit later in the year (probably end year)
lol etiquette is overrated the squeaky wheel gets the grease baby
so not really "soon"
not online. the squeaky wheel get's the mute
its up there with the c3ord , vr cable replacement for older vr's, hopefully 🤷♂️ 2022 maybe
anyone one wanna group up?
Index with fullbody setup... but still vive base stations. I’d like a third base station, but I’d have to buy all three index ones for it. Not sure if worth the upgrade
2 new 2.0 ones might already be enough of a improvement over 2x 1.0 ones (if you still have 1.0 ones)
if only the Index BS were in stock...
They are 1.0’s yes, iirc vive 2.0’s work with index stations
I thought htc and valve would sell the exact same 2.0 basestations
It's less "index" stations then SteamVR 2.0 stations
So yeah as long as your gear is 2.0 capable they'll work. 
Yeah I thought that too. But it’s moot because I have 1.0’s
yea, but HTC wants 40 bucks more, ships without wall mount and with a shorter power cable
Happy and or merry almost new year everyone
Happy 2020 is finally over eve eve
we all know 2020 was just the intro to 2021
Stupid sequels it’s all anyone does now
I can play for around 5 hours consecutively without getting motion-sick/uncomfortable
Ayyy.
i played alyx for 8 hours straight once and didnt get motion sickness either
I'm not tryna brag just saying
but my index really gets uncomfortable after a few hours
I'm talking about VRChat on Quest 1
VR is VR ^^
I've only got motion sick ONCE, and that was on a ride in the amusement park.
the big swing?
Yes.
I can play indefinitely without getting sick, length of time does not matter.
I just can’t sit on moving stations or go to crazy jump physics worlds
Valve Index can go up to 144 hertz and has clearer graphics; Quest 1 has 70 hertz max and simplistic graphics
That made me nauseous.
yea, that one got me too
I don't get motion sick easy but it does happen after a while if you know what I mean
144hz in VRchat is like nonexistent, and my PC wouldnt handle anything over 90hz anyway
Fun fact: Quest 2 has higher resolution than index, just smaller FoV
Anyone wanna play?
!online
There are 21181 users in VRChat currently
The quest 2 has the highest resolution of the major headsets. LCD tho but the color isn't as bad as it normally is for whatever reason
Reverb G2 has the highest consumer HMD resolution
^
It has major downsides but if resolution is all you care about G2 smokes everything else
it's not on the market yet tho right?
G2 has been out. It’s 600
it is available
did it launch? Am I that fucking behind
it launched in November iirc
Jesus fuck I'm behind
Ya it released back in early nov. VRChat does not talk about it much because no capasative sensors make it less than ideal for vrchat, no hand emotes at all
its good for everything else besides VRchat though
But yes, highest resolution headset that is not a pimax
we dont talk about pimax
God I do not consider pimax a real contender
if you are a resolution buff G2 is your way to go, honestly though I’m more of a FOV fanatic. I’ll trade resolution for more fov any day. That’s where I feel emersion is
same, i wont downgrade on FoV. same or more is the only way for me
Anyone that can help with a issue??
maybe
Depends on the issue
Can't login into my Vrchat account
On the quest
I just linked my oculus account to it.
did you try logging in through oculus?
That worked.@broken plover
There are 21477 users in VRChat currently
Nice
So now do I just log in through oculus now?@broken plover
Quest can login VRChat accounts just find
you can either log in through vrchat or oculus. oculus is just pressing a button to log in so its easier
yes
Kk
nooooo
anyone know why some avatars have their legs screwed up and bent
Legs' not straight when viewed from front (blender) and side should be straight too with a slight bend at knees
or bowlegged you go
Anyone wanna join me in the 7-minutes to heaven? I’m bored and wanna play with my new luffy avatar
👀

so there's an interesting bug where nefarious users can delete the floor
i hope the VRC guys are aware of this\
Hmm... I've only ever experienced this once. 
I play vrchat with my wiimotes controllers
I didn't know this was a sleepover. 
Mate I just wanna have an anime battle to the death in there
Then why call it "7 minutes to heaven"? Or is that the world name?
I don't think you know what "7 minutes in heaven" means.
Sounds highly dependent on the world, especially the world already having a network event to remove said floor
I do know dude I’m not a kid 😂
So you can understand why it was misleading
^
That’s the name of the world I was saying join that
wink wink
Why that world though? 
I wasn’t saying to do 7 minutes of heaven 😂
Because it’s the only one I won’t lag or crash in.
Could've chosen Room of Rain or something.
no no I see you man. Just wanted to test how much of luffy stretches
I have been crashing all day.
🧑🦽 🏃♀️
🤸
🦽🏌️♀️
Yo on that note would luffy get a boner normally or would he have to inflate it like a baloon

Just saying these are important questions
Exactly.
Hell nah
of all the things to see in community updates, i pray a security overhaul is on the way
What kind of "security overhaul"?
Could he theoretically gear third his dick
I pray yun stops being so sus
There's only so much that they can do.
If this mans-
i still get affected by blocked people frequently
Yun if you wanna know so bad look up rule 34
Yo there are so many sexual possibilities in the one piece world man
like could Robin make titties on everyone
Care to explain? Keep in mind there should be no expectation for VRChat to be more secure than any other pc videogame
bruh paheal is weak shit. Sankaku has that database
Ah yes the lobbies in which WE LAG ALL DAY
Blame the people who are using shitty optimized avatars.
Block all poor avatars and the game will run fine on even low end pc's 
That’s the type of stuff you should really expect from user content created games
That’s why you just increase the amount of good avatars than the poor shitty ones.
Make a private world if public is too wild or if the trolls are targetting the world you want to explore
If you don’t like it that much why not just block all avatars
Like there’s multiple options
Anyway Is someone gonna join me in the world or not? I’m bored asf
I allow avatars and shaders but block animations by default until I show all features or friend them. Majorly cuts down on crashes and other shananagains
I mean you don’t have to block animations it’s mostly the avatars themselves that give so much lag Atleast for me
Oh I’m not talking lag I’m just talking crashes
I play at 400% super sample and get 144 fps. If I crash, it’s not lag, it’s maliciousness
most crashers seem to penetrate safety/blocks
I see otherwise I’ve had someone crashed entire room except me because I had his animations off
how do you play at 400% ss with 144fps? you got hands on dat 4080ti early or what?
And dont forget the RYZEN 9999xxx
The sexiest CPU.
i mean, i know im somewhat cpu bottlenecked with my 7600k, but even i cant exceed 100% SS and 45fps in most worlds, even dropping to 30 sometimes
What is this... supersampling you all speak of? 
Is this some sort of SteamVR joke I'm too Oculus to understand?
render at multiple of native rez and downscale
oculus has ss too
if you got a 1080p screen and 200% supersample you render a 2160p image and downscale it to 1080p
Wew.
the only time i get a constant 90 most of the time is with 20% SS
.
online!
I'm trying to get a large number of participants (30+?) to finish up a video I'm working on, all that's required is to run through a frame while holding a facial animation (both vr and pc players welcome)
If you're interested I'm going to be doing another film session at 4pm EST (US-East) and anyone is welcome to friend me and join then (sarkobor)
Here's a preview of what I've gotten done so far: https://youtu.be/i1zG6kqhWlg

Knuckles meme traffic every day now. Impressive
HI All - I hope this is in the correct thread I'm trying to upgrade to vrcplus. doesn't work. whenever i click on the upgrade link it says untrusted user and wont click through to make purchase. anyone had this prob can help? FYI - i'm trying through steam. i have made purchases in the last 90 days (that shouldn't be the problem) and i have set in my steam pref's to allow overlay in game play (which apparently can cause the problem sometimes).
are you sure about the purchase in more then 90 days?
the first purchase has to be MORE than 90 days ago
was that your first purchase?
let me check
it has to be MORE than 90 days ago. 
Thank you @ruby needle I'm screwed as a noob. Sooooo .... any idea why on earth I need to have made a purchase more than 90days ago on Steam in order to give VRChat some money?
crazy commerce
Sadly that 90days is the way steam ranks an account as "Trusted" for in game purchases
i remember the trust thing being something like: spend more than 5 bucks in the store
Steam security protocol.
I think that's for basic things like chatting or posting on the forum. 
Yes - but Ive purchased other things through steam - how is this scenario or VRchat any different.
yeah i first thought that too, but ingame purchase trust rank is different
i think it was for the workshop
Maybe!
ingame purchase different to an actual game purchase
Yeah VRChat does not cost money so you can’t buy vrcplus unless you have bought some other game on steam more than 90 days ago
VRChat need another payment system - I was about to give them money. oh well
thank you all
Who has access to the VRCBot for commands? 
They plan to add more systems
'Cause that's gonna be an easier one to link.
I know the plan is to allow payment over oculus home eventually.
frustrating as the special offer ends tomorrow🥺
They didn't specify a specific cut-off date though.
Yeah ending tomorrow is just a rumor
The first month isn't even over for anyone yet
same
