VRChat is growing and will soon overtake its current biggest competitor but it is not quite there yet
Biggest non existing competitor
I keep getting a problem when I enter a portal, I get a 100% 0.00B/ screen that doesn't go anywhere
Y E T
Probably should change topics
So anyways. How many months vrc+ did u get?
When it came out I just did a year. Cheapest option.
You can pick an amount of months? I don’t see an option for that.
I don't think there is such an option.
Nah either month or yearly
There was a 2 months option or yearly option~
There is no 2 months option
You get 1 month free if you buy 1 month, cus early supporter
There was in December 2020
It's a subscription, not one time payment.
The only reason there is a 1year one separately is because due to the long time you get the discount.
Everything else is the same, no matter is 1, 2, 6 Months it's 9,99$ and doesn't need separate options.
It's still only a one month option since this is only for first time
I paid for a year and it gave me until March 2022.
There was no two month option.
1 = 2
Syntax error
Not in this case
Welp, not today mate sorry. I have a physics exam today that I haven't studied for so I thought I'd go to bed early to study this morning
1 + 1 = 3 clearly.
In a number system with 3 defined in place of the second numeral, yes
0.1 + 0.2 is more interesting though
No look.
1 = 1
so two 1's
- = 1
so that comes out to 3.
Obvious joke but
My friend unironically believed that 1+1 is 3.
How'd he pass kindergarten?
1 + 1 can be 11 if you're working with strings.
Hi Joker from Persona
and in some programming languages you can kinda do string concatenation on integers, as weird as that sounds.
We out here doin' U D O N
although I know nothing of it.
I recently got a world to build and load up in VR for the first time.
Working on a private world atm
Figuring out colliders was kind of... interesting
wait till you get global vs local triggers. that was fun. I have loading systems for my maps, and it was triggering globally at first, so people would just randomly fall into the void.
I think they changed the event for those though, playerlocaltrigger or something.
New year new world
2019 assassinated 2020.
2020 was reanimated and now it’s killed 2021
2021 is dead so that means 2020 is 2021
We get it, ur 15
Can someone tell me how to change the movement with my oculus rift s on vrchat
can I move freely ?
Walking around worked for me on both headsets I have, so should work.
Then again, I'm not sure there's much similarity with the Index, Quest 1, and Rift S.
you have to hold the joystick to move on vrchat, how would I change that
its weird imo
Thats normal tho? Just like using an xbox controller for example
Moving around physically works for me.
it can get weird with sticking your head into a wall though
Their is a blue line whenever I move my joystick
I personally use smooth movement in VR
oh you mean that. Go into the settings and disable holoport
I hate the 3P/teleport type stuff
Ahhhh thank you
Are you new to VR? This is kind of a standard movement option.
Most games let you disable it though
yea I just got my vr on Saturday
Be aware that you may or may not experience VR sickness after a bit. In my case, I mostly had my balance messed with a bit when I first used VR.
You get used to it though. Or at least I did.
thats the most fun thing about vr tbh
Personally, I find having actual depth perception in a fictional world to be the most fun part.
and its kinda like interacting with holograms
I dunno man, I like just using the joystick to spin and spin irl to see how fast I can go
....
Go to 7 minutes in heaven, stand on the spin the bottle table's bottle and spin it. If you do it right you spin at incredible speed without flying off. Now spin in real life and add joystick spin.
Enjoy @Chicky Muh Bestie#2438
Try not to throw up

Oh god
or spin in one direction irl and spin in the other direction by pushing the joystick, and optionally also walk in circles
I'm gunna do that after my exam today and see how far my vomit will go
Bonus points if your vomit reaches the furthest wall from where you will try it
Its not called bonus points for nothing ;)
Red please do not begin to assume someone’s age based off of what they say in a chat that is filled with children and adults who are here to enjoy themselves.
That. Is my one pet peeve people assuming they know someone when they know nothing. So should best keep their mouth shut.
But sonic, how old are you then cuz I've never met you?
You have the mind of a 15 year old, so how old your body is doesnt matter 
Yeah. I’m cool with kids if they are precocious. But adults that are juvenile? Pass.
I’m old enough to drive drink and work
👌
But are you old enough to hold a meaningful mature conversation without hyperactive outbursts or screaming for attention? That’s a different kind of age.
If that was the case then what point do you prove by constantly looking down upon your elders?
Multiple. I even have political debates from time to time
🚶♂️
i think you're missing adeon's point
And it depends on how people apply themselves to me.
Gtg my boss told me breaks over
No bullying 


I don’t think
That word means what you think it means
Only circlejerk we are a part of is vrchat circlejerk
Lets talk about our favorite features in vrchat

anyone wanna hang out later
to warn and kick myself when im the instance owner
bruh does anyone else cant update their SDK2
Keeps telling me that theres a new version , clicked download on the website , it gives me the same old version
SDK2 will always say a new version is available because SDK3 exists
then why cant I upload
Hard to say, what issue are you having?
I'll try mixamo again, the problem i've been running into is it messes up the fingers and the gas cloud around my avatar
Yo, so I just got a quest. I think VRChat is pretty cool. But however I'd like to be an avatar that's not just an anime girl or so on, you know? So I've been working on this Scarface avatar with the plan to make it cross-platform, but it turns out I can't upload. How would I become a New User? Does it matter if I'm on steam or on oculus?
👌 gotcha.
I wonder if there is any VRchat improv clubs? I haven't been able to do it for a while because of Covid so I wonder if that's a viable option.
You’ll become New User automatcially when the system has moniotred your use of the game enough to determine that you are actively using the game and not bothering people, essentially. No one knows the details of how it works but it happened quicker to people who are engaged with the game rather than just using it passively.
Think about how the system might be able to determine positive and negative actions and you might get a good idea of what it’s looking for
Ah, I see.
Add people to friends and have around 9 hours of gameplay and you will reach it
It will take longer if you dont make friends and if you are getting blocked/muted
Well, I just seem to come across people making racists remarks or some weird stuff sometimes. So, I'm not sure I want to friend them.
the problem is that people in VRchat , especially purp ranks (for some reason) are very block/mute happy
Or just children, I also just see children. Who I have no interest in friending.
They have been there long enough to block children
Publics can be like that, It's very much just keep at it with rooms and you'll hit some good conversation.
Dont go to most popular worlds
Go to japanese shrine or one of the lower population worlds
They have more chill people
Gotcha on that. I will take note.
Questmas happened so top worlds are filled with children who got quest on christmas
Btw will a cokeden world be too nsfw for Vrchat?
no
I don’t think any specific thing is required to get new user
Time and friends
theres legit stripclubs in VRchat , so I doubt a coke den is crossing over line
I’m pretty sure you could get trusted without any friends or never even uploading anything it would just probably take a lot longer
The whole trust system is a black box so it’s anybody’s guess how it’s deciding to promote people
I dunno vrc has some great worlds to explore if you're a sightseer.
5k hours
I've always wanted to live a faux-beatnik fantasy. But I don't want to spend the money or the drug charges on that so Vr is a good alternative.
have you seen the kinda hours people spend on vr google maps?
Lol
Some of those madlads just dedicate their time to finding funny things in any street view it's nuts.
huh
👀
pretty sure theres even sex dungeons 
Hmm without breaking the rules how do i ask where to find such places 🧐
what?
what?
Uh
We don't talk about that here!
🚶
Aye aye captain, i don’t wants to get into trouble.
Yeah I wouldn't dive into that field. I know of em, not my cuppa though.
ok
Why not Lamb?
Reasons~
Maybe but that's my privacy~
I think Adeon died~
Happens
Up to 45 people blocked on Discord. Most for spamming in one way or another.
Thanks for telling us?
Are you alright?
He has a Persona pfp , he's not fine
Very good point Cirno
indeed
Touhou pfps are also from people who are not okay 🥲
what is a toohoo
what is a toohoo?
But Lamb...😭 🙏 😭 p-p-p-please
Bless you
Because if your inside is cold, outside feels warmer
So if u have higher temperature outside feels cold
oh gotcha
Late reply, sorry. But go into blender with your obx of your model. Then use the CATS plug-in to separate your meshes. Select the Cloud and export it as its own OBJ file. Then delete it. Join your mesh back together . Export as an obx, then do mixamo again.
Once it’s done, put the FBX into blender, then import your cloud. Create a new bone or just parent the cloud to the root bone. Maybe that’ll work?
do anyone have a black babby naruto
the only thing i have my model as is fbx, am i supposed to have an obx file?
Ah, okay. I’ve only ever worked with my own models so I guess if you got it from online it’ll be FBX only. Check to see if there is an option to download an OBX. I don’t have too much experience with premade models
yeah i got it from online and it was ripped from a game
I see I see. I’m not sure if it NEEDS to be an OBX to be “separated” in CATS, but you can try as an FBX?
what blender version is used for vrc?
doesn't matter, you only have to get the unity version right
ok
Does the cat plug-in have to be downloaded into a specific place or can it be anywhere
just download, and then install it from preferences in blender, it can be installed from anywhere in your pc.
ok
when im using cat to import a model into the blender , what type of avatar file does it have ot be? since my unity ones dont show up
fbx vrm pmd... those are like some standard formats
well, vrm you can get from vroid studio, where you can make anime style humanoid models, anything else you might have to search online for, like MMD Models
right ill have look cheers
#moderation-reports probably, need a ticket of some sort for dev involvement
@frosty veldt darling in the franxx pfp
any world creator in here?
Udon or non Udon?
dosent matter
what you need? maybe i can help
its more related to unity where a world cant be uploaded over the old id. only in the new one
If you’re asking this question then I’m under the assumption that you’re coming into blender completely blind in which case absolutely use the latest version available, just install it via Steam.
Or... just install it directly from Blender. 
yeah im done that rn im having issue with the unity rig
use the 2.83 version of blender
And also install the CATS Blender plugin
I recommend steam just because it auto updates. Big problem with open source software is no one keeps it updated
the xps plugin isnt updated yet for 2.9
the chest is unasigned and i dont know to fix it
And this is exactly why i would not use Steam for Blender
For productive software the last thing you want is uncontrolled automatic updates.
disable auto update dawg
You can lock steam to a specific version if you want to, they have a big list. But that’s only if you run into issues
^ beta tab
so is that something that happend to you izu
Can someone can give me a hand with Untiy Shaders
I was in a help group for Audacity... people would regularly have 6 year old versions installed lol
well, it happened to me a few times already, but i just detached it and uploaded it in a new branch. as long as it wasnt published yet it shouldnt really matter
thx
i wana find out how to fix it without new id. since im asking for another person whos world have many favorits and history . he said vrchats reply was that 'Yeah, lots of people having troubles logging in over the last week.' xD
yea, got the same message about my loading issue ticket xd
not a loading issue. its a upload issue to old ids
you could try attaching the old id again after detaching it
monkey
but why?

whos jamal?
this dude
Yo yo, any recommendations where to find some good starter avatars? Just drop into different avatar worlds?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Pretty much.
free my homie nexith
yes, just jump around
yeah what izu said
yees
anyone can help me with this ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/730948173379535022/796098881212776468/unknown.png
pro tip: world tab -> search for "avatar" without the "" -> change to tag for best results
??? tf is that
Ty ty o7
thank you jamal
your welcome
behold! the words of wisdom!

kush, even
i got chu
stop, the sex talk is giving me a boner
thanks BIG SNIFFF

yes
hello

hiya sam
hru guys?
yes jamal
hi there
yes
where ok
same here
Not good because my art teacher’s making us do perspective again
hi
Hello.
yes
Hello.
h i
is there any good budget cpus you would recommend for vrc, ping me if you have good ones, the recommended official specs are way too low :/
Ryzen 5 3600X
do you get good fps with that cpu in public lobbies @vocal shard ?
Be more specific
also would a 3600 work
yes a 3600 would also work
Safety settings+which world+how many players
Matter a lot
specific with want lol i wanna run vrc with more than 20fps and my cpu is 100% maxed out constantly in vrc despite being slightly above the recommended specs
avatar and voice shown for everyone but friends friends shows everything
A public black cat with 18 players runs significantly better than a club with 50 players
yo
And thats on extreme safety settings
are you playing on desktop or in vr?
vr
If your safety settings are sht, club with 50 players is death
Am I the only one with a Kinect for full body or am I just too poor
But black cat might be okay
i reduced the quality to desktop and it didn't really do much
I use a kinect too
i dont even have full body
you should have 40 frames in public with safety setting on~
Any kinect ppl wanna be friends or nah (also nice nico)
i do OwO
Wow whats with that kinect elitism
my system is starting to get pretty outdated :c
Upgrade it~
@cinder elk Try disabling all dynamic bones and then see how it goes.
Kinect has one upside. You don't need to charge trackers. You can basically stay in vr for however long you want and your fbt will never die

but that's at the cost of worse tracking
was thinking of giving my current pc to a family member and then just build a itx system small but power full~
never going back to intel

I'm building a new pc pretty soon, and I'm going amd for now, but when I have an infinite budget I'm going intel again (except if amd is better at pure gaming performance when I have that infinite budget lol)
infinite budget
Gimme some!

I need some extra infinite budget too.
same
Make my dream PC.
i've never built a pc. Im too scared im going to break something
It's pretty easy to build a pc and you can't do that much wrong. And even if you are, its still gonna run
~~ cough cough the verge cough cough ~~
It's the prices of the items that scare me.
same
how do you learn what parts and brands are worth buying though 
reviews
if I hear a lot of people saying some brand is shit, I won't buy it. If I hear people say one brand is really good, I'll buy that
The price of a 3090 is higher than I paid for my entire gaming rig with a 2080...
true, pcs just seem difficult to get into or at least educate yourself on. id like to one of these days though
Not a gaming card anyway.
It's honeslty harder than it looks. When I was just a laptop kiddo playing minecraft on my moms laptop, I just looked for "gaming pc" on google and clicked the first link. Then my dad told me that its cheaper to build one myself. So then I started watching videos about pcs on youtube
Controllers die :p
and when I started to plan the build that I'm building in the next few weeks, I was like "what motherboard do I get. There's so much different factors", then I watched a few videos about what's important on motherboards and got the hang of them pretty quick
Feet tracking works so much better with trackers on the toe tips, don’t know why everyone wears them around shins. Feet slide all over the place as you shift your weight around with them on shins
but what safety settings
then that will look like ass :/
auto hide very poor avatars and limiting dynamic bones is pretty much all you need to improve performance. Sure you can fine-tune it a bit more to get even more performance, but just doing those two should mostly give you playable frames
change to desktopLow if you havent already
i have lol
What does it change? I could never figure it out. I just get more frames
it didn't change anything
reflections, particles and post processing from my observations
i heard all it changes is anti aliasing which is done on the gpu, my cpu is the bottleneck
for desktoplow
Ok desktoplow I can crank index up to 500% super sample and get no framerate drop. On regular settings this kills the pc
I found out it also changes some stuff with shaders. At the end of The Devouring you can't properly use the picture feature with desktopLow. My friends were playing on VRLow or VRHigh and it worked for them but it didnt work for me because I had desktopLow
(the sphere that locks the image to your camera didn't work)
VrC iS lAgGy BeCaUsE uSeR cOnTeNt Is UnOpTiMiSeD
well, unoptimized user content is what causes most lag tbh
atleast on more capable systems. If you play on a potato then of course everything's gonna lag
You are so close. You have said the right words, now just fix the capitalization - and believe them
The creators can only do like 90% of the performance impact within VRchat 👀
sure there are other things that cause lag. But unoptimized user content is a big part of the things that cause lag. Most of the times when I show all very poor avatars I lag a lot, vs when I hide them I get playable frames
except it is incorrect adeon
what about how there is literally no draw distance
what about how the game is rendered like 5 times in vr mode or smt
it's rendered for desktop mode again even in vr when you don't look at the desktop or have the window focused
Ah so your just uninformed and refuse to accept what others now said because it doesnt conform with what you first got told. Neat, your one of those.
Single pass stereo rendering would like to talk to you.
what?
its just twice. One for each eye. If you have a camera enabled it renders a 3rd time from the camera. And the desktop window just displays what is rendered on one eye
no one has literally said anything else oclac
And its not even a proper 2x render in performance kekw
It’s not rendered twice. actually. Single pass stereo is great!
ok yeah then just once, and twice if you have a camera
The main reason the desktop view often looks like hot garbage while in vr is to avoid doing a separate nice desktop render
even if you use a public vrc created avatar in the home world you can literally hop in front of the mirror and see the fps drop by 20
You might wanna get a PC that's younger then 10 years old.
Like its true, VRchat cant use depth buffers or stencil buffers.
These are not VRchat faults because of how the software works.
And id argue its more your PC if its that extreme
144 here.

u got a server running vrc then
For me I only get frame drops if my friend with his very poor avatars is standing next to me infront of the mirrors. I don't get any performance drops from just looking in the mirror with the vrc created avatars
No actually my pc is like 6 years old... only upgraded the gpu
as I said before, if you play on a potato, of course its gonna lag
Oh and that’s 144 fps at 500% super resolution on index
At default home, in a system avatar as you instructed
didn't you mention how upping the in game sampling then makes it super laggy
But again, most of the performance is directly avatar related even if your anecdotal 'evidence' on a working potato can function.
Yes! With improper setups
define improper???
Like using antialiasing when you’re already using super sampling
there is only 3 options and all it rlly changes is anti aliasing
i don't think my gpu even has super sampling
1080
What CPU do you have?
I don’t think you want to be helped I think you just want to complain.
There is only little to change.
Or do you expect every world and avatar maker to make different versions of varing increasing complexity?
there is many things to improve performance wise
most of it can be done automatically with software
Like education the community on how to properly make things in a optimally working way.
e.g. decreasing the textures
Removing all poor avatars would do the job yes
or even adding fog and an actual draw distance
It would already be a good start to remove all very poor avatars first
First cant be automated without some big fucking server racks and insane costs (and lets not forget the problems that automated crunching things can have)
And the second is something world creators have the option to do themself, there are way better tricks they can apply then just those two even.
i can go in the steam home world or half life alyx with amazing graphics and shading at 144fps then hop into vrc with terrible shading on a default avatar in a default world and get about half that
Again, whats your full specs
Im also running a 1080 but at the same time im able to run 45-90 FPS in publics without limiting anything
And i have constantly background programs open and running from youtube to spotify and discord.
For me steamvr home and half life alyx run poorly, while I get a steady 90fps in vrchat alone in my home world
also with all the money made from vrc+ how is a server not affordable
Please say sike for that question..
no u
how is all the money people have invested and all the money from vrc not enough to set up a server
also i fail to see how downscaling the resolution of textures needs servers but ok
i often get poor FPS in populated worlds even when i hide everyone's avatars, when normally in the same world but empty instance my FPS is high. i think vrchat needs to do more optimization to their networking and avatar robot model (maybe world pixel lights or lack of instancing are causing the lag?)
Hey look, a server/devops expert.
We're hiring here if you would like to make VRChat better with your apparent expertise: https://hello.vrchat.com/careers/server-engineer
You seem to underestimate how much hardware power you need to setup a automated batched real time optimizing farm
And maintainig it / making the scrips and automated process
🙏 Lord have mercy on my soul
But you really question why a profesional hosted service running an automated task thats fairly intensive on even small scale would be expensive?
And why a game that has close to live IK and VoiP with unlimited uploads that span back years earning a small amount of monthly subscriptions can afford it?
Like if you can make it cost less then even the biggest and cheapest service, id be happy to invest.
Il send you all my money right now as we are going to be filthy rich
That isnt really network problems related.
There is always a small overhead within avatars (The Voice, There tracking and ect).
If your running on real low end hardware there is sadly nothing to be done about that.
But anything close to modern should run that fine, i personally have been in 30+ rooms without blocking avatars and getting a stable 45FPS.
And my gear isnt far from top notch anymore
what?
i do have a ryzen 1st gen, but there's no reason that it should run that poorly with a bunch of people
It does though
Eh no don't remove very poor. Don't remove any avatar
You should remember that VRchat isnt a extremely polished AAA game with the option to disable everything you dont actively need.
Let people upload their lag bombs.
And let the rest of us choose to not see them.
Everyone wins
it's not a lot of data, it shouldn't run that poorly with a populated lobby
Yeah that's the job of performance settings
And normal games dont provide like IK (FBT and ect tracking) with an close to real time Voip (voice stuff)
Most games that do just one of these two have problems with performance of them or have them way worse on larger scales.
even if such lag was unavoidable with the IK system, the update interval could just be reduced for those with blocked avatars
Like fair, a lot of shit should be fixed. But performance aint really one of them.
It’s clear to me from how VRChat has handled the SDK that they prefer to let people craft exactly the content they want. There are no real hard caps as far as complexity goes and I’m pretty sure that’s entirely intentional.
They have experimented with a lower update interval for all in the past, didnt function fine for everyone even if it was for just disabled avatars.
also what about the part that vrc STILl uses an extremely old and outdated unity version for the sdk
It's not extremely old tho.
You might wanna look up what LTS releases are, why they are used, and how old it was when the game transitioned to the version we're now on. 😉
What exact issue are you facing Charlie or are you just here ranting?
Oh that’s an easy one to get a better PC
but there are games like TU and Garry's Mod with realtime voice chat and synced physics and avatars which don't lag the client nearly as much with huge numbers of objects and players
Seeing as he got an 1080, he is running an harshly bottlenecked system or has other whack stuff going on
ROBLOX has really optimised their physics and networking system and there's very little lag with such situations
VRChat on Desktop runs butter smooth aswell.
~~ or a founders edition blower card that overheats and thermal throttles~~
Not perfect either, but the point was.. you can't compare that to VR.
not for me in highly populated worlds even with everyone's avatars blocked
On... deskop mode?
you yourself just gave another reason if all this render once thing is so great why is desktop so smooth and vr is so much laggier
it runs just as poorly in VR as it does on desktop
Because... it is a massive difference?
Synced physics is far from the same as live IK data.
Not sure what TU is :x
And with Roblox, there problems with network performance and live ingame performance has only 'recently' been solved after they hired an army of devs the size of all VRC workers just for there networking...
you just went on about how good the rendering once thing was
That doesn't mean that VR on it's own is a whole story of extra things that need to be done
Haha live tracking data for VR goes bbbrrrr
Play any VR game that also has a desktop mode and compare Desktop to VR
IK data is what, just the orientations for each bone? how is that far from 1000 bricks being synced with their position and rotation?
And don't come up with pointless sentences.
play any vr game and compare it to vrc
VRChat isn't any vr game...
Garry mod also doesn't run as well as the normal HalfLife/Source games.
how on earth is vrc excluded from being laggy
and if you look at the blocked robot avatar, it's basically 4 bones: head, chest, left hand and right hand, floating in the air
wdym "vrc isn't any vrgame" u gonna tell me that it's so good it's excluded or smt?
Because those bricks is literally just YXZ data while IK data is a fair bit more complex
As someone who made an robot arm that had multiple joints that had to move, its a lot more complex then building for example 3D print software that just XYZ
maybe fingers too im not sure
You're comparing fully content controlled games with every asset made in a controlled enviroment and mostly by professionals with the goal to be as efficient as possible, to games where the users which are in in most cases amateurs and not interested in any way to go past learning how to visually get to their goal.
IK data is literally just YXZ data, you just send the quaternions or Euler angles for each bone over the network
If you can't understand the difference, you talking about any technical things is just a thing you shouldn't do at all.
I believe they are streaming muscle values actually which is less data than orientations
Not sure though
im not sure how unity muscles work
It is, you only also calculate your own bones and just process them from others.
What makes it almost non impacting, aka why i wrote why only old af pc's cant handle it.
will that data not be effected by the internet speed though?
but i would probably just send the 4x4 transform matrix for each bone just to be sure if i was designing such a system
tldr joints are a single float
all vr games have to use that data and deal with it
how does that work tho? like the hip joint has 3 degrees of freedom, it'd require 3 floats
Human movement is much simpler to describe than actual bone rotations - you don’t have muscles for individual back bones. They operate under a simpler set of muscles
The data we are talking about are only for large scale VR games.
Most games leave out that type of data and just calculate (or halfass calculate in almost all cases) the data locally.
but yea i see even less reason for it to lag if it streams even less data
then why doesn't vrc? if it's clearly not as laggy?
A hinge joint can be described with a single float. A ball joint can be described with two.
Because its more laggy?
Unless you want to halfass it in that case FBT would not work at all within VRchat and most humanoid avatars would have problems
if it's more laggy then how are all the games that you say use it less laggy
Most games leave out that type of data and just calculate (or halfass calculate in almost all cases) the data locally.
and most games aren't as laggy
They used to calculate all that stuff locally before, it switched to networking to save a lot of overhead.
You calculate your own, send it and just process others, what in the end saves a fair bit of work.
Because most games dont allow you to upload literally anything you want 🤡
it's simple: calculate your own body's IK data, send the data to the other peers or the server, have it reach the other clients who just occasionally apply the bone transforms to your avatar on their side. why this reduces my FPS to 34 is beyond me
In the case of hip-spine-chest-upper chest, they all share the same muscle driver. You can’t bend like a snake. They all bend and twist as one. So they are all defined by a single set of muscle values
Which drastically reduces the information you need to send over a network
Fingers for example have only two muscles for each finger - spread and grip.
Anybody here like ASMR or make ASMR?
Well I have the thing for you
Play what?
i don't tho
Vrchat duh!
Yeah, but what on it?
Also I can't right now but tomorrow I could.
As that isnt the only thing happening within the full game?
Idk Just Look for Avatars play a few games
Hm?
Aight, I can do that tomorrow I guess.
I messaged u
then what else happens? does streaming some compressed audio for the 2 or 3 people talking at once reduce my FPS?
I don't see how it'd reduce FPS, but that may be because I'm blind.
what's third person rotation
Today I learned all of those dynamic bone calculations and shader math happen by black magic and just animate and draw correctly on their own
im talking about the case when i have everyone's avatars blocked
If you really are just in a room with a few people with a 1700 then im close to saying its not even the games fault.
Im ran the game in a worse performing time with the intel gear and got never the extreme performance problems you had
it often gives me a poor FPS in populated worlds with everyone's avatars hidden/blocked
guys what's third person rotation lmao
And to be fair, your own avatar can be uther shit and be the main performance hog 🤷♂️
If you use holoport, the world will rotate when you stop holoporting to represent your new landing spot. This can disorient vr newbies so you can disable it
holoport?
my avatar has the excellent performance rating and it doesn't give me a poor fps when im alone if you remember
is that the teleport thing
also i dont mean a few people, i mean like 20-30 people in the lobby
It’s movement option in settings. It’s like teleporting, you draw a line on the ground and your avatar leaves you behind and walks to it
thamks
Do you mean...
Real fps killer is vr
T h e w o r l d?
Desktop mode vrc is smooth as butter
🤷♂️ I run a 1080 i7 8700K with
- VRchat
- Spotify
- Discord
- VRC's home page
On new year i was in some worlds with ~28 people in it, all medium to very good performing avatar.
Average FPS was around 30-45+
Only times lag hit hard was when people got all close and all yelled at the same time.
yea thats what i was thinking too, it could be that the world uses a ton of pixel lights and that kills the FPS with so many robots unable to be batched. there has got to be a way to fix that though
maybe by using a special shader for robot avatars that doesn't do pixel lighting and always uses instancing for all of them
And if thats the case, its again the worlds responsibility to not do that whack stuff...
Not a lot VRC can do it world creators halfass shit
i just described a way

idk if you're reading any of what im saying anymore but i will leave you to it
I am, i still dont get how you have these problems as extreme as you claim.
I also dont know your hardware and do know how shitty optimized most worlds and avatars are compared to what they could be.
Is the person with stupid font on his name finally done talking 👀
can mdl files be used for blender at all in any way?
menu lag is back
#fixvrchat
from the source engine? you can use Crowbar to decompile them and the source tools for blender add-on to import them in blender
Gotta compile it into an SMD source file and then install some extra blender plugins.
Takes some work but should be possible
If it aint a source one, you gotta find another compiler what is a fair bit more work.
im new to most of the stuff and got a winrar with an mdl file i want to use. doesnt work with blender so im looking around for a fix
use this to decompile it into .qc and .smd files https://valvedev.info/tools/crowbar/
and this add-on for blender http://steamreview.org/BlenderSourceTools/
yeah im trying the crowbar now
then you can select the .smd or .qc filetype under import in blender
trying to have a break in the rest and sleep world when i hear multiple quest kids screaming
god help
Mute visitors in safety settings
Kids don't know how to chill
ye just did that thanks
Decompile tab
no its decompile not compile
when i decompiled it i got a qc file
anyone wanna play???
any of the 24k people online, yes
holy mother of lord, quest peeps can be so loud on their mics they try to shush nonstop
make sure "Reference mesh SMD file" is enabled in the decompile tab, and there should be an smd file in the same folder after clicking decompile
oh ok i think i got it then, ill see if it works , cheers
Woah are we at 24k as a baseline now?
@vocal shard Take out the 12k sitting in front of a mirror not saying a word and blocking everyone that interacts with them.
Then you have the real count.
12k only ? you are very generous sir
I have heard of these people but I’ve not met any.. and I’ve played a lot. What am I doing wrong
anyone wanna play
@gray edge when i import that reference smb file into blender theres no texture on the model hes just pink
It might be the fact that I only play in worlds that don’t have mirrors 🤔
yea you'll need to set the textures, i see it exported some .bmp files so you should be able to use those
You're not doing anything wrong, you're doing everything right. @languid beacon
weirdo
ok ill try to figure it out
If I do make a world it’s going to have like this tiny pathetic mirror that everyone will have to crowd around
;0;
Adeon is a vampire, so they don't go into worlds with mirrors or their secret will be found out.
Make it shrink the closer you get to it
Or make it more blurry the closer you get 
I was thinking of having the mirror toggle be half local half global. Flips for you, and also half of everyone else, randomly picked
I have a Thanos monkey that can snap mirrors away
Only do that if you announce who turned off there mirror
Reject mirror.
Return to monke.
🤔 make public avatar that dont show up in mirrors , idea
Make a world where everyone shows up in mirrors... except you
already exists
Eh i know the shader, just havnt made one that has it like that
make a avatar tinyer than the tiny duck avatar
public one that is, had a few that was different in mirrors
and one biger than the diva
i found the impossible
a quest user that isnt a 7 year old and is a genuinly chill guy
female avatars with normal proportions and normal clothing?
Post inc from 🅱️upper
What am I thinking just have the mirror button turn the mirror on for you and off everyone else. With text of who is currently using it.
So half of quest users? @rancid jewel
man i wish
theres like
a lot of quest kids
what do you expect from questmas?
tru
There are quest kids.
And there are some awesome people without a proper VR headset.
thankfully the kids will get bored and go somewhere else soon
how do i apply the textures i cant figure out how to apply

announcement pog
🤢
wait a minute, the almighty Tupper has enlightened us with his angelic voice?
lmao, 40k player disaster
they really did ddos themselves
I feel so bad for the mods and devs lmaoooo
this was an issue they legit couldn't have foreseen and wasnt their fault
Anyone do avatar commissions?
I'd do commissions but the extra cost for therapy afterwards is unpayable
ahahha
so many nightmares of FBT compatability and cool effects
thanks!
also that time i legit almost gave myself a full blown seizure and had to nap
@covert chasm Why not a free week of Plus for everyone affected to make up for it ;)
better idea: "I tried to celebrate new years and all i got was this stupid icon"
Tupper we need notes for friends feature
Ty for coming to my ted talk
-vrc+ user
permanently over the username plate
concept: "request invite" except you can do it all the time bc im a nervous gay baby who dont wanna intrude
udon
i ported an reference smb file into blender but the model is pink with no texture and i dont know how to apply the mbp files that i think will fix it
anyone can help?
Done with what? 🥁
what
Udon, U don, u done
oh i woke up today
dont we all
that counts right
Dayum tupper, that's a doozy of an issue. I've been there/felt that.
Thanks for the write up!
Goes to show that automation still has a ways to go lmao.
and I had absolutely no idea it went down because at the exact same time my headset died
and by the time I got back on from a different headset, it had been resolved
also it really fucking sucks to have an Index die on you when you're not in a supported country
anyone know how to put a model into a t pose ? need it for mixamo
pose mode and move the bones into a t-pose
anyone wanna play vrchat with me?
how do i make one bone not move at a time
don't select it ?
Not sure what you are asking
when i try to move the arm to t pose only like one part of the arm moves
Turn on x mirror
wheres this
I cant send pictures here, i'll dm you
to be fair iRacing had a similar problem of too much concurrent users in an important race and according to them the problem was that it slowed down everything because the server systems thought it was an attack (it was just an unusual number of users)
and that game is WAY more expensive than VRC, so imagine how funny was the situation
i just got my first vr today will anyone play vrchat with me and show me some fun places to go to?!
@vocal shard I can
yay ok whats ur steam or can we join a room together or something
I play on Quest
best world for new VR users is the amusement park, the swing on the right is a very good place to start
ok i will go there thank u!!
does that mean we cant play together? i have oculus rift s
http://en.vrcw.net/world/detail/wrld_069a6285-44a8-4a49-b2b2-7abb13c32df3
this one to be exact
ok ill go there rn ty!
for more fun, play in standing mode
i can join too, i just need a bit

I'm making someone a avatar
@vocal shard Since you started out I can make you a avatar for free
Standing mode is for the real homies. @regal furnace
Anyone want a free avatar?
Portfolio pls.
what kind of avatar?
fully scratch or MMD clusterfuck?
"Uh oh, looks like the game's getting ddosed! Better take all the servers offline to prevent the ddos from taking us offline"
🤔
10/10 security system lol
lol
😅 I don't wanna be your DM Inbox in a few minuts from now Leafpaw.
where do i tell vrchat that their beach volleyball emoji is broken
@bronze hollow Oi Jeff, me server's gettin' DDoSed! Take down the servers for me yeah?

wdym
for bug reports
Flooded with work. 👀
pog thanks
I dont know what you mean XD
It's been changed to https://feedback.vrchat.com/
oh nice
literally both works
i think they are literally the same

https://vrchat.canny.io/ redirects you to https://feedback.vrchat.com
But yeah the same essentially
@ruby needle You, being the inbox, would be drowned with 2837278273 of quest kids asking "can I plzzz havme (insert avatar and what anime its from) plzzzz??????"
anyone can tell me how to weight paint green?
no matter how i scale it it is hard red
and how to rub out
I have 22 avatars faves but for some reason VRChat says i have 25 anyone know why?
UI bug.
I'm looking to Change my display name, I use Occulus Rift S for VRC but don't see an edit button in my profile. Any help welcomed.
How do i fix it?
Cause i wanna fix my fave list
Contact vrchat about the issue
You can't. Gotta wait for a patch.
Nope.
No one knows
Uggggghhhhh
Holidays delayed a lot of things.
Technically, u could get more by getting vrc+
Then u don’t have that issue anymore
I was just giving u a work around my guy nothing more, nothing less
That's a shitty work around
You don't have to get VRC+. All you can do right now is wait.
It could take weeks, mouths or years
mouths
I mean I don’t think it will take years to fix
(edited)
@cursive crypt could always check on the canny to see what’s being worked on bug wise
Canny?
Can't wait for VRC+ quest.
one day
@vocal shard not 100% sure but if u play on desktop through steam, then u buy it through there wouldn’t u have it when u log back onto quest
i just watched youtube videos with friends in vrc for multiple hours
Sit in front of mirror for hours, watch youtube videos for hours, same difference
Does anybody know what the headset selling for like $500 currently is
I forgot the name lol
Quest?
Rift s?
Yes
👀
I see that. But know that this specific issue has been posted multiple times and I'm quite sure devs are aware of it.
I didn't see it there
Gotta search. 
https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/cant-unfavorite-worldsavatars Look how many merges this post has.
Yeah and all the posts are old
Also if that post is a year old why haven't they fixed it?
Same issue, just occurs in a different update
<@&397642795457970181> can we expect to see vr chat ported over to xbox, series x, ps4 and ps5 even if we dont have vr? Sort of like pc vr chat but on console with no vr.
when i bring my fbx file to unity the model gets real big , how do i know what scale to set it to for the right height?
That roles i ermergency pinging this Discords moderators. Not anyone of the team.
And.. please als dont ping anyone of the team directly for questions either.
Oh sorry my bad
And the answhere will pretty much be... no.
Thank u for letting me know :p
!online
There are 25810 users in VRChat currently
oh shit vrchat is growing now
avatar descr
yeah i have it but how do i scale or edit?
change y axis value till the ball is between the eyes.. higher or lower ur preference
where?
it should be a script
Click view on avatar descriptor, place between eyes just under the skin of the face.
This guy had a green short avatar and pulled out two 50 cals and aimed them at me and made my game crash what the heck
wdym click avatar descriptor
what in it
Try the gear icon, if thats not it try an YouTube video
Im not at my pc to check sorry
yeah i click the cog
Yo what's up
and that menu is what comes up
yeah and it gives me a list of things i cant click
-view
-lipsync
-eyelook
-playable layers
-expressions
So um does a avatar that makes peoples game crash like a thing?
cant click them tho
it turns blue and does nothing
Yeah there are like there is a 7ds skin that does
too much of anything breaks this game as far as avatars go
too many bones.. too many meshes.. too many particles..
this guy had a green avatar and had 2 .50 cals
LOL
and aimed em at me and my quest crashed
Really just go watch a tutorial on youtube on uploading avatars.
Brandon, safety settings are your friend.
i suggest turn on safety settings till vrchat team fixes the issue
I would get one
but im not a douche bag
yeah yeah dont its not that serious just have fun and try to avoid weird ppl like that
i got motion sickness from it because my game froze over and over
There was an escanor that the farther away you were from it the harder it hit the quest. I had just joined then crashed
Yes.
pt?
where they even get the avatar from
they make it
Like how yall approve that
in unity
theres no verification process besides only being a new user i guess
-.-
I want to make my own avatar but I don't have anything that can run unity
Many of the things that allow for making cool avatars can be used for malicious purposes.
Yeah
damn
i think u can figure sum out
i was gonna suggest virtual desktop app but im pretty sure u need a pc still for that to work
And my parents won't let me spend my money to buy even a decent laptop. I'm stuck with my school chromebook
i modded beat saber yesterday it took me a good 5 hours
cant u change chrome book os?
School property?
i dont blame ur parents man shit is expensive rn
Not without alerting the school system and then taking my source of schoolwork away
You can change chrome books os but its school property
ah damn
wait can u run a vm of some sort on a chrome book ? ?
thats probably a dumb question but idk much about chrome books lol
you definitely can't
Once you change the os the device no longer checks in with the system the school uses and then you're busted.
ah damnm
shit bro i dont even know
can u run unity on a phone or sum ?
How tf i get a nsfw avatar
I cant find no worlds
uhh... make one or have the right friends lol
._. there aint no avatar worlds wit em?
My phone is to outdated for unity or anything of the sort
and if u obtain i suggest dont wear in public
step one is to not ask here lol
has anyone made the pop cat as an avatar
yes
If you want one just find somebody that has one and copy it in game
everyone got their thing set to where people cant clone
oh god please send it
horny
we got a horny one
ahhh i dont have it sorry
shittt
horny on main 😳
Is there a way to stream to twitch with the Oculus without a pc
don't think so
Imagine starting a channel on facebook livestreams
jesus
why did facebook have to shove their ass all over my oculus
they pissed on my quest 2 and now my quest 2 smell like facebook
facebook buzzing again ?
#justFacebookthings
I have decent one
you do?
Same here

best emote
y e s
Hii
anyway to use weapons with keyboard?
wat
like how to use the weapons on avatars with the keyboard/mouse
props or in world weapons?
Im just woundering is there a way to look up just Avatars or no?
not anymore
you used to be able to search up recently added avatars
like, you activate an animation which takes out a weapon
so a prop. you need to do hand gestures
how?
shift + F1 to f12 or something like that
I don't play desktop so I could be wrong
ok let me try
anyone wanna play vrc
How do you unfavorite an avatar and make it disappear from your favorited avatar list?
It's a UI bug.
am running out of space, can i delete c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat/Cache-WindowsPlayer/ ??
Select it and press "unfavorite"
steamuser
Yes, but you can clear cachefrom within the settings
Do you have a second storage drive?
not right now no
Oh.
its steamuser because of wine/linux
Oh~
Rather, you can tell the game to clear cache on shutdown
another hint is the / instead of \
@slow cypress oh is this in config files or in-game settings
¯_(ツ)_/¯
In game
Settings > Advanced settings > clear cache.
thanks
yeh that
Remember to close your client and relaunch it to clear it properly.
Pressing unfavorite doesn’t do anything
Why does a bug like this exist for 2 years? It’s completely unacceptable for any game to have a bug like that for that long
It's likely happened, but ui doesnt update
How do I get the ui to update?
Can I have more favorite slots please if I can’t unfavorite the ones I have?
I want to be able to favorite and unfavorite characters
I guess the only way I can do that now is with a different account
I’ll just use a different account
It's most likely a low-priority problem.
Does anyone want a custom vrchat avatar?
Portfolio, pls.
whats that?
Portfolio means a collection of your previous work.
