[cobalt valve]

Yo, i got stuck in my giant form and i cant turn it back to normal, how can i fix this?

[vocal shard]

can go on the website and reset your avatar

or hold ctrl + / if you are in-game

[cobalt valve]

kk

[west yoke]

Press the key combination Ctrl + \ alternatively reset your avatar on the website

[vocal shard]

it's backslash ?

[west yoke]

Never heard of forward slash working for that

[cobalt valve]

Bless you

it worked

[grave flint]

Heyo

[vocal shard]

hi

[true edge]

Hi

[vocal shard]

sup

valve and xbox are doing a partnership so whne you play a game on steam it shows that on xbox live

[velvet arrow]

yo guys how do you find worlds to use as your spawning world?

[vocal shard]

just search any world you want to use and set it as home

[worthy axle]

Lets go, made it to the half point in the maze world v5

[cosmic shale]

Oh, I see

[vocal shard]

Could a developer or unity person help me in #user-support-old

not sure if its the right channel

[velvet arrow]

thank you

[mint spindle]

same

@velvet arrow

[finite steppe]

Day "i stopped counting" of being stuck at New User with 250+ hours of playtime.

[worthy axle]

Lol, I got out of that after 1 or 2 nights

[finite steppe]

Someone must be blocking me or something, which i don't know why, I'm fairly quiet and don't use annoying avatars.

[robust thunder]

people will block anyone

[finite steppe]

Probably also doesn't help i only have like two people on my friends list...

I've also uploaded a few avatars of my own, but it's not made any difference to my trust rank.

[umbral reef]

Well cant expect the game to increase your trust if all it sees you do is be online

[regal furnace]

my alt got to new user after only testing out stuff on it

this account never saw a single public instance in its life

[umbral reef]

Getting past new user tho---
Getting new user is not hard at all, getting past it can be

[regal furnace]

so the "only crawling in private world doesnt help" idea is not completely true

[finite steppe]

I just want to get to User rank so i can publish worlds, I'm more interested in VRChat for content creation than anything else.

[vocal shard]

Same for me I make like 4 friends every 300 hour so it took ages to get to user

[finite steppe]

As someone who's had a couple years of experience in Unity, that's more interesting to me than actually playing the game.

[umbral reef]

New user should already be able to upload worlds tho @finite steppe

[regal furnace]

whats your ign?
when people with a higher trust rank add you, it should boost you quite a bit

[finite steppe]

Yeah, but you can't make them public until you reach User rank.

[regal furnace]

private ones, but not publish them

[umbral reef]

Really? Lmao thats lame

Can upload any avatar you want but not publish worlds

while the security around worlds most people see is higher

[regal furnace]

i dont get it either...

[finite steppe]

I got to New User in just under 24 hours of playtime wandering around different worlds and adding those two friends i mentioned earlier, and they were people i knew from outside VRChat, one being a friend who got me into the game when they showed how making content for it worked, and the other one being my brother who also plays.

[umbral reef]

Could be worth just trying to friend there friends and see if that does the trick

[finite steppe]

Though I'm at just over 250 hours now and still at New User.

[regal furnace]

most likely because you dont have many friends yet

but 250 hours and still new user is kinda weird

[finite steppe]

There must be some kind of hard cap on having a minimum number of friends for a given rank... Though I've also heard it's possible to get Trusted just solely by uploading public avatars.

So i guess it kinda varies per person.

[regal furnace]

we dont know how it works

whats your IGN? i could add you, maybe that will push it over the edge to rank up?

[finite steppe]

I've had three friends at one point, but that didn't push me over, and unfriending them didn't derank me.

[regal furnace]

defriending doesnt derank, but also doesnt help with ranking up at all. there are reports of people clearing their friendslist and going down from trusted to known

and im talking about removing like 50-100 users

[finite steppe]

My IGN is Subsonic154, couldn't enter my full length name cause character limit.

[regal furnace]

sent you a friend request

[finite steppe]

I'm not in-game rn, I'll check when i get on later.

[regal furnace]

aight

[west yoke]

Some of what was said here doesn't sound quite right.
Friends contribute to trust rank, when you remove them they stop contributing to your trust rank. Removing a large amount of them can in-fact derank you as a result.

[regal furnace]

yea, a bit weird worded. i meant removing like one friend shouldnt affect the rank enough to derank

[west yoke]

Ah then yes that's fine

[rugged ferry]

poop

[finite steppe]

Does playing in desktop mode also negatively affect your trust score accumulation? I've heard that you get more trust overtime from playtime if you are in VR. But i don't have VR.

[regal furnace]

nope, desktop or VR doesnt affect the trust rank

its more likely that you will find friends with vr (for some reasons), who will contribute to your trust

[finite steppe]

I know one of my two friends does have VR.

[regal furnace]

if you need more friends id suggest going to game worlds

[finite steppe]

I'm in game worlds a lot actually, but the fact i rarely ever talk probably isn't helping...

If VRChat had a built-in text chat I'd be a lot more social, i just don't like communicating with strangers via voice.

[regal furnace]

im a mute as well, and now im trusted for a year and a half now ^^

[finite steppe]

I'm not actually mute, i just don't voice chat outside of a specific group of friends.

[regal furnace]

im not a mute IRL as well, i just dislike talking for a few reasons

[finite steppe]

Not talking got me pretty far in VRChat Among Us last night tho. Got Impostor three times in a row and won all three rounds.

I guess nobody expects Samus to be the Impostor.

[regal furnace]

you should have played as the spanish inquisition

nobody expected it

[finite steppe]

Is that a meme I'm uninformed of?

[regal furnace]

probably

[finite steppe]

My brother made that same joke last night when i told them about the triple Impostor run as Samus.

I literally won one match because those kids didn't know how to fix o2.

[regal furnace]

i like destroying kids in battledisk

[finite steppe]

Shame i can't play most games because they don't have desktop compatibility...

[gilded plaza]

hey, somebody know if you can change the in-game camera's resolution? eg for 1440p screenshots

[regal furnace]

hold shift while starting the game

oh wait, the camera

nah not possible yet to change that

[finite steppe]

I was about to say...

[gilded plaza]

aw okay thanks

[regal furnace]

i misread as "ingame resolution"

[noble depot]

You (sorta) can with the 4k screenshot! hold down ctrl and press f12 to take a 4k screenshot - you can change the resolution of that in the config file in the cache folder

don't know if you can change the hand-held camera's resolution?

[west yoke]

Read the documentation on the config file. You can change the resolution of the camera as well as the in-game screenshot button.
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/configuration-file#camera-and-screenshot-settings

[gilded plaza]

I will try this thanks ^^

[round lion]

yes someone stole my account

[noble depot]

Send as much information as you have to #vrchat-support! o:

In-game (and account) moderation can't be done on the discord

[round lion]

i already contact the support

[noble depot]

only option is to wait then, unfortunately

[verbal meteor]

ticket submission generally does it, takes a couple of hours though, my friend waited about 6ish I think.

[noble depot]

hope everything works out though o:

[verbal meteor]

If you haven't when you do get it back, add two factor always a good extra thing to have just to go the extra mile.

[finite steppe]

I use 2FA on everything that gives me the option. I've had accounts be victims to attempted and even successful hijacking before, never again...

[lethal jay]

Yeah it's generally a good idea to use 2FA on anything you can, I use to have accounts hijacked before but I never have since I started using it

[verbal meteor]

I had to grill my friend over it for not having it, when it happened to em in a polite buddy buddy talk.

[fringe bolt]

is vrc working?

or are servers down

[fading sphinx]

:wide_gatorade:

[fringe bolt]

I keep getting unusual client behavior every 30 sec and it reloads the world

[noble depot]

That issue is usually caused by packet loss / connectivity issues - I'd recommend restarting your router and disabling your VPN/changing it's connected location if you're using one o:
also, changing DNS servers helped another user! c:

[fringe bolt]

I just saw user support ty

I can't restart the router rn which is unlucky tho

[noble depot]

could try changing the DNS server on your computer? o:

[fringe bolt]

I'll try

[noble depot]

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using#windows
would recommend Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - though there's also CloudFlare's DNS and OpenDNS, among others

[finite steppe]

I've had reliability issues with Google's DNS.

Then again, that might have just been a one-off moment of them being DDoS'ed.

[round lion]

the guy who stole my account rename with this preudonym ßunnyModOwner

[lethal jay]

It's google... they can't be

[finite steppe]

They have. Have you not seen how many times all their services have gone down in the past couple months?

[noble depot]

@round lion Wouldn't recommend calling out people directly - wait on the ticket c:

again, account and in-game moderation can't be done through the discord

[lethal jay]

You don't know how they work then, it's literally impossible to with how much they put into security

[west yoke]

DDoS is likely the wrong word but google definitely isn’t up or reliable 100% of the time and with some regions they may not be the best option, for DNS that is

[lethal jay]

Yeah it's definitely not up all the time but the reason for that isn't because of ddos, it's because so many users use it at the same time. It's not from a bot attack as they get blocked immediately

[worn summit]

Hello

[undone mirage]

god, i wish i could copy and paste on vr

my username is in japanese, so i cant log in on vr anymore.

[rancid jewel]

i'm pretty sure you can play vrchat in vr with kb + m, not sure though.

[lethal jay]

You technically can yeah

[undone mirage]

elaborate

[noble depot]

also, OVR toolkit might be able to copy-paste? not entirely sure on that though o:

[robust thunder]

your name is in japanese then use your email to login

[undone mirage]

holy christmas balls, i didn't even think of that. thank you for helping my dumbass.

[robust thunder]

wtf is that🤣

ive never heard anyone say "holy cristmas balls"

[undone mirage]

it's a reference from a disney xd character named milton. although he says "holy christmas nuts" i like "holy christmas balls" instead.

[robust thunder]

HAHA, oh my god. i might just use that on some people

i hope you dont mind

[undone mirage]

of course not, knock yourself out.

[robust thunder]

for a second there i read that as a no

[placid lake]

nom

[robust thunder]

[placid lake]

owo

[noble depot]

monch

[lunar root]

do you read the mha manga

[fringe bolt]

no : (

[pliant crypt]

Hello, I'm new. I saw some people using asl in vrchat. Do you need external software like ALVR for handtracking, or is there an easier way?

[rancid jewel]

the valve index knuckles have finger tracking

[regal furnace]

there is also the leap motion thingie, but it only works to some degree in vrchat

probably cheaper than a pair of index controllers and maybe even lighthouses

[dim geode]

a friend was able to do it with oculus quests hand tracking in vrchat, pretty cool

[regal furnace]

probably connected to a PC i guess?

[dim geode]

yes, it was via the virtual desktop streaming method. not sure what other software he used to get the hand tracking into vrc

[lethal jay]

alvr

[sturdy badger]

.d

[rancid jewel]

yeah pretty sure you can get hand tracking with VD

[lethal jay]

And what do you mean not the channel? It pertains to vrchat

[robust thunder]

I think they were talking to someone else

[dim geode]

yeah, relevant chat was deleted

[north mesa]

its literally impossible to DDoS google you dumbass XD

[rancid jewel]

haha, very funny.

[halcyon fulcrum]

guys hi

can i run minecraft vr with Ryzen 5 3550H 16GB ram RX560X 4gb

[spice lake]

Probably
Idk what that even means tho so

[vocal shard]

[lethal jay]

Also just tried hand tracking with alvr and it's entirely not worth it because of how janky it is

You literally have to set it to emulate index controllers and that in of itself when not actually using index is just

Yeah no, 10/10 wouldn't recommend

[dark vale]

Hello, Im still new to vrchat how can I change my shown name in VR chat?

[ruby needle]

You can do so on the website

But only once every while

[dark vale]

and If I use steam?

[rancid jewel]

vrchat.com/home/profile

if you use steam just change ur steam name

[dark vale]

Thanks

[eternal arrow]

im having issues uploading a avatar,what channel do i ask for help in?

[lethal jay]

I would recommend switching to a vrchat account though since if you don't and you want to upload stuff at any date, you have to have one and you can't merge a vrchat account into a steam one. Only merge steam into vrchat which I believe will overwrite your account

I could be wrong on that though so I wouldn't quote me

[dry zenith]

Hey can someone help me?

[languid beacon]

I am pretty sure the friends and rank from both get merged. You also get to pick which name to keep.

[dry zenith]

With adding custom avatars?

[lethal jay]

?upload

[shy spoke]

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.

[snow crystal]

I have a problem. I'll be playing with my quest 2 linked to my pc and about 2 minutes in, the FOV will kinda be fucked

[dry zenith]

Yeah

[lethal jay]

Nono I meant that as a command

[lethal jay]

Read that

[dry zenith]

Can someone help me add custom avatars?

[vocal shard]

-_-

[dim maple]

they already did just read

[worldly forge]

Hey I'm new to vrchat and I was wondering if it was normal to not here anyone talk? ive heardpeople play music once

[dark vale]

Well sometimes you find group of people with 6 people talking and others just staying around

[languid beacon]

Sounds like your volume is messed up. I’ve never heard a silent room before

[lethal jay]

I have several times, it's eerie to have like 8 people standing around and literally no one talking and just staring at each other

[dark vale]

What world are you in? maybe we can talk

[worldly forge]

30518 among us

I can hear the sound and music in worlds just no voices.. 😦

[dark vale]

I can see world 30262

[worldly forge]

I dont see that world sadly. is there a way to search?

[dark vale]

well we can go to default home location and you can make me portal

Sorry I can´t help much here. Im lost already

[worldly forge]

thank you for th help

[worldly forge]

48968 default world

[languid beacon]

1.) make sure your voice volume slider is not at zero

2.) make sure you do not have safety settings that have disabled voice

[dark vale]

Okay I think I can add to friend list in VR chat and then I can teleport to you

what nick do you have there?

[crimson pine]

hey

[dark vale]

Hello

[crimson pine]

how are u?

[worldly forge]

Savorysoup, my bad.

[dark vale]

Im about to fall asleep but i will add you later ok?

[worldly forge]

Okay, Thank you!

[dark vale]

Goodnite :)

[hollow ingot]

Aight... I'd get vrc+ for more friend favourite group(s). . . I don't have one for users who may use Quest.

[vocal shard]

I can upload the sdk3 udon thing to use it if it wont let me test and build in unity right?

[unkempt shell]

Is anyone here a avatar designer?

[vocal shard]

go to the first server in #community-servers-old if you want to buy or sell avatars @unkempt shell

[unkempt shell]

Ok

[fresh seal]

looks like they run out of actors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrL1h_1i0_Y

or budget

[split gulch]

Hello I am new to VRChat what are some things I should know.

[vocal shard]

Safety settings max. 👌

Kidding, kinda.

[jovial kestrel]

Expect the unexpected, always.

[undone mirage]

hi

stay away from toxic 10 year olds.

[vocal shard]

Some people prefer shields or none at all really depends on if the lobbies you go to often have a lot of crashers

and yeah stay away from kids, if your on desktop vrc there are alot less kids than if your on quest which is full of them

[vocal shard]

Agreed

[undone mirage]

i've met so many that have called me "ching chong."

[vocal shard]

Why?

[undone mirage]

just because my username is japanese.

[vocal shard]

is there a way to reset your home world outside of VRChat when using ur steam account? my home world is a damn box with moving textures and now all of a sudden I can't play it at all. it freezes and never lets me do anything else. my character can't even load in

[vocal shard]

So?

[vocal shard]

I don't think anyone has planned on going near them anyway.

[undone mirage]

exactly.

[vocal shard]

Yep

[undone mirage]

god bless.

[vocal shard]

You too

I don't believe in god

[undone mirage]

neither do i.

[vocal shard]

Ahh

please

[vocal shard]

Ahh

[vocal shard]

Idk I play in quest

[vocal shard]

go to the vrchat website, sign in, go to worlds, go launch a random world, then reset your home to default from there

[vocal shard]

I'm pretty sure you can from the website

not directly from the website like you can with avatars they should make it that way tho

[vocal shard]

does ur VRChat account sync with ur steam account

did you merge your accounts yet do that first

how

[undone mirage]

:gabi_smug:

[vocal shard]

I dont remember how but I dont remember having problems look it up im sure you can find it

[undone mirage]

:gabi_smug:

i want to spam that

[vocal shard]

emoji fail

[undone mirage]

pog

[vocal shard]

Don't, It can result in getting warned and/or kicked.

[undone mirage]

not here, somebodies dm's.

[vocal shard]

it says I need to log in through the VRChat client does that mean I need to open vrchat

[jovial kestrel]

Are you trying to merge your steam and VRC accounts?

[vocal shard]

yeah

cause my homeworld freezes my game every time

[jovial kestrel]

You need to login to your steam account for the app, and then log into your VRC account on the website.

[vocal shard]

app?

[jovial kestrel]

In the settings menu you will find an "upgrade" button that gives you a code, then go to the website and login with your vrchat account.

The game

[vocal shard]

that's not in VRChat right

[jovial kestrel]

||It's technically not a game, it's an app.||

No it is.

[vocal shard]

but i can't even get into the game

[jovial kestrel]

You can use launch options to launch into a different world, or launch into one via the website.

If you would like to try that.

[vocal shard]

I restarted my pc it's working now

[jovial kestrel]

Oh, excellent.

[mental otter]

How do i make a game i wanna make a horror game so i can play it

[worldly wigeon]

there needs to be a option to turn off replies,ive already got 2 messages of people saying "there fucking" i didnt wish to know that

[robust thunder]

Just use blender for assets and unity for everything else

[vocal shard]

just block them and move on~

^

[mental otter]

what

[worldly wigeon]

just matter of time before someone else does it 🤷‍♂️

[true edge]

Can anyone help me with my vrchat I play on oculus rift s and sometimes when I try to join or load into worlds it sends me back to my home world (which is the defult homeworld) i've tried buying a new oculus rift s but it still has the same problem but my quest 2 dosen't have this problem which is really odd but I want to be able to play on my oculus rift s so if anyone can help me that would be really nice.

[robust thunder]

Try #vrchat-support

[vocal shard]

for fucks sake I can't select people, and thanks to that this guy's avatar is really lagging my game. thanks, vrchat

np

np

[vocal shard]

do custom shields and turn off particles and shaders

[tulip marsh]

I got something im pretty sure i can thank you for something too vrchat...

A dead fucking graphics card

[vocal shard]

?

[vocal shard]

I can't, I set everyone's avatars off be default on every rank other than friends and I showed their avatar before they changed into it

I had no choice but to block them for now

[tawny fiber]

any way to play with just vr users? and any way to play with only over 18's?

[vocal shard]

no

[tawny fiber]

well shit

[vocal shard]

I wish but until then

[white latch]

By time they ever add that I'll be 18 lol

god I've been playing for like four years what the hell

Probably more like three years but still, it's been awhile.

[dim geode]

safe mode can help with that situation

[vocal shard]

oh didn't think of that

[obsidian shore]

I have a question. Im thinking about getting a vr headset. probably only for Vrchat and Beat Saber. What would be the Best for only that? dont want to spend 1000 euros or something like that

[dim geode]

aye, whenever my frames tank thats my goto to get some breathing space to fix safeties

[dim geode]

quest 2 is best value headset

[obsidian shore]

Okay thanks

well it isnt avaiable in my country

[radiant aspen]

i don’t know how i feel about having met blueasis in a random community lab at random. He seems chill but i still dislike brushes

Just made it awkward as all hell not gonna lie

And it wasn’t like a a massive world or anything it was just a small room type world with 3 others

[languid beacon]

Asking for a friend - can Unity 2018 & the VRCSDK etc work on Linux and correctly build for Windows/Android?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't, but I don't know much about Unity on other platforms

[dim geode]

im pretty sure it can, it uses mono for windows builds

[west night]

Anyone want to play dm me

[vocal shard]

avatars arent loading

[tranquil blade]

relaunch

[neat ferry]

My friends telling me that their avatars won't load or something.

[vocal shard]

oof servers down

[waxen portal]

^^^

[smoky dagger]

Ummm....I don't know where to post this....I have an active subscription on VRchat Plus, logged in tonight, and I'm a regular user. Even clicking on VRchat plus says this user has an active subscription. I lost a bunch of saved avatars....any help on what I can do?

[noble depot]

The server is having issues right now - how long ago did you notice the issue? o:

[smoky dagger]

Just about ten minutes ago. I decided to restart my computer.

[spice pewter]

server issues started about 10 minutes ago

[smoky dagger]

Is steam having issues too by chance?

[vocal shard]

ur mom

[polar rose]

vrchat is having some kind of major issue right now, so it could be that

[smoky dagger]

I guess we'll see won't we.....

[zenith pumice]

avatars dont load for me lol

[indigo owl]

I can’t load my avatars

[vocal shard]

servers are down

[potent citrus]

noticed

[indigo owl]

Again

[noble depot]

VRChat's having server issues right now - will likely be fixed shortly! c:

[indigo owl]

It happened last week

[potent citrus]

i had 120 avatar slots for a minute-

yet i only have 24/25 avatars rn

[vocal shard]

the servers always go down when i am about to get on vr

):

[potent citrus]

the servers are back on

[vocal shard]

oh wait VRChat is having issues

[indigo owl]

No they are not

[vocal shard]

that's why I couldn't change my avatar

it wouldn't load them for me or my friend

[indigo owl]

I can’t join worlds

[vocal shard]

I rejoined the world and it fixed my current avatar tho

[potent citrus]

same

but it said i have 120/120 avatars saved-

meanwhile i only have 24/25 avatars

[sharp stream]

vrc servers down i guess

[gleaming kraken]

sigh... is this just a constant thing now?

i cant even test out any of my new avatars

[grim bough]

game broke

[indigo owl]

People are lagging for me and I never have that earlier before

[tame wasp]

Instance glitch: part 2

Server is having issues right now, will likely be fixed shortly c:

[tame wasp]

munch

[potent citrus]

vrchat is having some pretty big problems at the moment-

[neat ferry]

yeah they're having issues again now.

[vocal shard]

[gleaming kraken]

funny how it could load the world just fine but an avatar... nope

[polar rose]

i would love if this stopped being a weekly thing

[tame wasp]

funny to see the same problem happen again with the span of a few days 😂

[gleaming kraken]

same

[vocal shard]

VRChat has a lot of issues tbh

[gleaming kraken]

they are growing

[tame wasp]

🍿

[potent citrus]

do ya think there's a hacker going around or is it just a problem in the codes?

[vocal shard]

probably code

[neat ferry]

Yeah, i know right? very surprising.

[vocal shard]

considering the amount of bugs it has already

[potent citrus]

they'd tell us if there was a jacker =w=

[polar rose]

usually servers are fine but its been like this nearly every week of 2021. not a good look.

[neat ferry]

but knowing VRchat, it isn't anymore.

[gleaming kraken]

my guess is that their servers havent been upgraded in awhile

[potent citrus]

ya got a point.

[tame wasp]

🍿

[clever patrol]

h̶e̶l̶l̶o̶ g̶u̶i̶s̶e̶

[vocal shard]

guess we just gotta wait and see

[gleaming kraken]

it only started to get worse after christmas and especially new years

[potent citrus]

i swear- i keep hearing people chat behind me-

i'm in a private world!

Y’all ever get crashed by a “trusted user”

Cuz like

I'm in a siren head game and my friend said he would stay at the house in it and I come back he's gone

[potent citrus]

oh boy-

[vocal shard]

it says he's in the same world on his profile too

[potent citrus]

hell yea.

[balmy barn]

Aaaaaa I hate it

[lethal jay]

In all honestly, trusted users are the least trust worthy now

[balmy barn]

Tbh yea

[tame wasp]

Most of them, not all of them lol

[polar rose]

always have been

[balmy barn]

A lot of them crash us because “the funi”

Hello!

"the funi"???

[tame wasp]

Im probably one of the few that aren't a dick

[balmy barn]

Ye

[tame wasp]

I'm not gonna appear as a user. I earned that rank 😂

unlike the ones that paid to get it lol

[polar rose]

trusted users always been sketch af ever since trust system was even a thing

[velvet totem]

Wish I could show my veteran rank

[vocal shard]

how

[potent citrus]

what's "the funi"?

[balmy barn]

They think it’s funny

[vocal shard]

How do people use ovr to go through walls?

[potent citrus]

oh-

[balmy barn]

Yee

[tame wasp]

@vocal shard I earned it by playing the game a lot and uploading avatars and a world

[marsh spire]

anyone else having trouble with avatars loading?

[potent citrus]

me and my friends always fuck with eachother like that =w=

[vocal shard]

I just got VR yesterday and have been having so much fun in VRchat!

[lethal jay]

I mean you can't even pay for trusted, once you get user, the vrc+ bonus wouldn't even get you to known user on it's own

[potent citrus]

welcome!

[past temple]

avatar load is slow on my end too

[tame wasp]

It does though

[potent citrus]

we hope you enjoy our community.

[velvet jolt]

There are 31575 users in VRChat currently

[polar rose]

@lethal jay thats what vrchat claim, but its actually a complete lie

[lethal jay]

It can yes but if you literally just got user, it doesn't

[velvet jolt]

Maybe why ?=

[tame wasp]

watched two friends get their rank up to known through paying for that plus thing
and i was like "Pikachu O face"

[potent citrus]

.

[vocal shard]

Thank you :D it's been so great, I think I've got an addiction already xF

[tame wasp]

Im not talking about literally, dude

[potent citrus]

that's so low....

[tame wasp]

I know how rank levels work 😂

[jovial kestrel]

Based on..?

[potent citrus]

i don't.

[polar rose]

watching people go from known to veteran in under 48 hrs. many times now.

[tame wasp]

People increase their rank form adding friends, play time, uploading avatars, and uploading worlds
People can go up ranks without uploading stuff, but that'll take longer than normal

[marsh spire]

anyone having issues loading avatars? me and a friend of mine has that along with some connection issues

[woven tundra]

Same

[keen summit]

same

[tame wasp]

🍿

[lethal jay]

How do you even see if someone is a veteran user... I thought it was a mod that showed that

[polar rose]

API

[fair widget]

same

[jovial kestrel]

Neat. But the trust boost is a static amount roughly equal to the distance between visitor and new user.

[polar rose]

no mods required

[swift wharf]

Yes. Avatars aren't loading.

[polar rose]

the initial boost yes.

[lethal jay]

Huh I need to figure out how to do that then, kinda wanna see if I am a veteran user or not

[jovial kestrel]

There is no extended boost.

[marsh spire]

aight just making sure it aint us being dum dums

[polar rose]

then something is majorly broken with vrc+

[vapid forge]

yikes i was drinking in vr lol

[devout root]

servers working again?

[marsh spire]

nope

[neat ferry]

Actually i'm that one.

[polar rose]

sort of

[tame wasp]

Earned without uploading? 😮

[neat ferry]

I didn't uploaded anything, I love to hang out with my friends.

[tame wasp]

ayyy

[neat ferry]

3k hours.

Desktop user since from the start.

[crimson patrol]

Ah, so I am not the only person that can't load an avatar

[jovial kestrel]

Why do you think that? There's a reason the trust system is ambiguous, so that it cannot be gamed. Not everyone will level up at the same pace because they don't do the same things.

[neat ferry]

Earned my rank, in 1000+ hours timespan.

[oblique silo]

um vrchat aint working

[neat ferry]

VRchat is very fun with people i know with.

[lethal jay]

Sooo would someone like to tell me how to check if someone is veteran rank?

[crimson patrol]

API calls

[tame wasp]

🍿

[marsh onyx]

ya the servers are broken

[smoky wing]

my vrchat is being a dick not loading my avatars and kicking me out of the world

[lethal jay]

Ik that but I meant like what call

[hollow pier]

Are the servers broken?

[marsh spire]

isnt the same way you see their rank? trusted ect

[marsh onyx]

ya

[hollow pier]

my friend cant see me, their on quest and im on pc

[wraith pumice]

why the server messes up every few days

[hollow pier]

but normally its fine

[jovial kestrel]

Servers are currently experiencing a slowdown. Hang tight.

[oblique silo]

thank u

i thought it was my computer

[polar rose]

right, that much is obvious. but what is also obvious is when i have almost 1k friends and can see when every single one ranks up, then vrc+ is released and suddenly the people that buy vrc+ fly through multiple (high!) ranks in mere hours. intended? dunno, but it happens.

[late void]

says youre known user

[hollow pier]

Is there a place i can donate to help u guys get better servers?

[late void]

idk if that was you

[hollow pier]

ill drop some money

[tepid mural]

slowdown they are down on my end

[lethal jay]

How would you know that though, my discord tag is not my vrchat acc

[vocal shard]

ok so it isnt just me

[vocal shard]

i would say vrchat+ but they obviously dont use that money like they should

[late void]

well then someone in vrc has the same name

[hollow pier]

well is there a place were i can do like a direct donation not via VRC+

[late void]

whats your vrc name

[wraith pumice]

Yeah my friend can’t join me back and changing avatars results in infinite loading

[lethal jay]

I mean all I am asking for is the call...

[grim hare]

yeah pretty broken for me too :c

[smoky sapphire]

So buggy servers and avatar rippers (Named WildKale) for today, got it

[wraith pumice]

Rip

[grim hare]

F

[noble depot]

VRC+ is as close of a direct donation as you can get! c:
(imo, it is)

[frosty wren]

how much money for the not broken version of this game where the servers are always going down

[hollow pier]

not poggers bc that money most likely dosnt go to the VRC servers

[open pulsar]

Yay vrchat broken with inf load time on avatar switching

[noble depot]

how would you know lol

[shy karma]

ddos is going on

[wraith pumice]

Well I guess it is the start of the weekend and ppl are logging on, but that still doesn’t excuse the server issues.

[gleaming kraken]

wheres your info on that?

[noble depot]

Steam takes 30%, but the rest goes directly to VRChat's company

[hollow pier]

I doubt they can ddos over 100 servers that fast

[polar rose]

seems server issues are kinda clearing up but not really, idk

[jovial kestrel]

The servers are pretty damn expensive

[frosty wren]

it's not a ddos its their servers being shit, it's been going on for years now

[weak musk]

Im getting the same thing

[wraith pumice]

Bruh there’s no way the servers are getting ddossed this many times.

[gleaming kraken]

must be pretty ballsy to ddos someone that many times since this is happening often now

[noble depot]

^
please wait y'all lol

[hollow pier]

Whats the hosting used? or are you guys just hosting them on server pc's

[tight swallow]

hello

[noble depot]

Amazon

[hollow pier]

I know server side pc's are expensive as hell

[jovial kestrel]

I am not staff, so unfortunately I can't give you specifics.

[hollow pier]

Allright thats fine, just curious

[wraith pumice]

Yeah and shouldn’t the people managing the game be able to pay for it, I mean it seems they are banking and going head on with vrc+ although we don’t know how much they profited off it lets hope the money goes towards making the game better.

[shy karma]

Why not?

[vocal shard]

It is always funny when this happens the discord server turns into a flood of people half complaining to the devs and the other half just confused

[tepid mural]

yessir

[wraith pumice]

It happened like 3 days ago

[shy karma]

And?

[wraith pumice]

It happened twice in a row before that too

[jovial kestrel]

It's not like the servers aren't being paid for, or they'd blank in an instant. Usually problems like these are due to upstream issues.

[oblique silo]

let me know when the servers are fixed

[shy karma]

I don't get your point

[fallen fossil]

same for me

[wraith pumice]

There’s no way it’s getting ddossed this many times

[shy karma]

?++

[vagrant yoke]

vr chat why do u not load models...

[wraith pumice]

Why do people keep saying that

[hollow pier]

They should just be able to restart the servers and that can fix majority of the issues (based off experience ive had with server side issues) if that dosnt fix it than theres something bigger they have to diagnose which sucks to do

[shy karma]

Ddos can happen multiple times

[vocal shard]

Hey I guess the vrchat team got some enemies

[lament cove]

Hope it just gets fixed soon

[wraith pumice]

In the same time frame? And why now

[hollow pier]

Yea but with VRChat i woudnt be suprised if it takes more than 50gb's worth of ddos power

[jovial kestrel]

I'm pretty sure this isn't a DDoS

[hollow pier]

Most botnets dont go over 25

[wraith pumice]

Same

[gleaming kraken]

you know that does bring up a good question, when do they actually give the servers some real downtime? if its just going 24/7 then i wonder if that causes any issues

[shy karma]

Because this is the weekend, best time to ddos

[shrewd edge]

yeah no, not a ddos

[noble depot]

It's definitely not a DDoS, unless Cloudflare is failing horribly

[vast tulip]

why not at all? they have millions of users. why do you think there is some arbitrary limit to how often it can happen?

[tepid mural]

you would think sending out an announcement would only take like 2 minutes

[sweet laurel]

yo it's uzakis mom

[wooden pelican]

has vrc said anything yet

[gleaming kraken]

theres moderators literally talking in this chat

[hollow pier]

Do you guys have any form of mitigation on the servers for DDoS?

._.

[noble depot]

CloudFlare

[hollow pier]

Not hard to bypass

[thick hazel]

why is it that when i join a world, it makes me rejoin that exact same world 5 seconds later

[hollow pier]

Common issue, nothing to be worried about tho

[wraith pumice]

I don’t know a thing about server stuff, I just find it weird how bad the servers have been recently. It’s saddening 😭

[gleaming kraken]

dont spread misinformation

[thick hazel]

^

[hollow pier]

Dont spread false rumors

[potent citrus]

are the servers still down?

[vocal shard]

I thought I made it satire enough let me add some 100s

[hollow pier]

Yep

[gleaming kraken]

garbage like you are why these spots of downtime turn into a hell hole

[vast tulip]

usually, unless things are dying, this means the instance is full at hard cap

[boreal cape]

Anyone else having issues in VRChat?

[vocal shard]

Guessing servers died again?

[thick hazel]

oh

[lapis gull]

must be the load of the new invite system and all the users online

[tepid mural]

exactly, its clear the team knows, so wheres the announcement

[sinful falcon]

Yep

[boreal cape]

Oh okay,

Dang, I was just about to upload my gender bent version of myself

[jaunty oasis]

Idk bout you guys, but im enjoying a good time feeding ducks :P

[hollow pier]

Wot?!

[sinful falcon]

F

[lyric crest]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 27799 users in VRChat currently

[tender tiger]

damnit I JUST got on

[vocal shard]

theres an emoji limit? interesting

[jovial kestrel]

#announcements

[hollow pier]

oof thats alot of bandwith

[tepid mural]

there we go

[keen kindle]

Ducks

[vocal shard]

so technically old server instances are working but not the new

[boreal cape]

Yeah, Making a Male and female version of my model, then making the base models public.

[lapis gull]

staff just posted announcement about fixing issue woo!

[hollow pier]

i woudnt be suprised if servers are experienceing issues with this number of people

[vocal shard]

Hey everyone! We're aware of some server issues that are going on right now that may affect logging in, changing instances, etc. We're looking into it, your patience and appreciation is much appreciated! is what they said

Love how my friends also have same issue but still think spamming me invites and wanting to join me will solve the problem.

[hollow pier]

lol been there done that

[vocal shard]

its in #announcements

Hey everyone! We're aware of some server issues that are going on right now that may affect logging in, changing instances, etc. We're looking into it, your patience and appreciation is much appreciated!

[flint mist]

maybe if we gave them 19.99 a month they'll make it work

[boreal cape]

The server issue kinda costed me a Commission client.. But no worries, not anyone's fault.

[wraith pumice]

I dunno I just compare it to every other game and the servers don’t get ddossed like this at least not that I know of, I dunno how good the servers are for vrchat or if they can be protected against an attack at all, all I know is it’s unusual for it to be attacked this many times in a span of a few days, not only that the timing is odd too why now and not anytime before, nothing important is happening.

[lofty onyx]

Is this due to a server update?

[vocal shard]

ion I was just copy pasting LMAO

[lofty onyx]

ah

[hollow pier]

I was told its protected via cloudflare which if we all know isnt the greatest protection method as it can be bypassed in a matter of 10 seconds

[wraith pumice]

Ooof

[misty hare]

the severs arent working right i hope they fix them

[lofty onyx]

It would be soooooooo nice if updates would not be done on the busiest night of the week.

[hollow pier]

Who said it was a server update

[jovial kestrel]

They're working on it. #announcements

[wraith pumice]

They will, they always do.

[misty hare]

@jovial kestrel thx

[tepid mural]

bro tarkov has better servers and hot damn are they bad

[hollow pier]

damn the aggressive message timer is killing me

[vocal shard]

At least its happening this weekend and not on the 4 day weekend

[heady wasp]

it made me sign terms of service again, so im guessing update.

[wraith pumice]

Ppl are pretty upset, so...

[white cairn]

And I just released my new world update 😦

[lofty onyx]

I mean, it's either a backend update (pretty likely) or a random DOS (not so likely for a random weekend?)

[wraith pumice]

OOF 😰

[hollow pier]

I highly doubt that #announcements | and @wraith pumice i completly understand, being a moderator and controlling hundreds of people in one chat without slowmode is kinda a pain

[white cairn]

It's not a backend update, it's a Friday. This will just be be an outage.

[lofty onyx]

Lmao, when friday == outage

[heady wasp]

strange

[hollow pier]

I have experience and it is not easy lol

[magic magnet]

hi! i understand there are server issues rn. if I'm having trouble changing into models does that fall under server issues as well? <3

[flint mist]

i cant spend time with furry femboys tonight, this is bullshit. ill die without my dose of owo

[lofty onyx]

ye, this is part of it

[tepid mural]

as was said earlier, its prolly on Amazons end since they host the servers

[tame wasp]

🍿

[wraith pumice]

Yeah, I was pretty mad too since it keeps happening but Ima just take it easy, I might as well take a quick break since I play this game for more than 8 hours a day.

[tepid mural]

and other games they host are dying

[void hollow]

vrc havin a mental breakdown

[hollow pier]

Woah, just got a steam client update. I recommend everyone update their Steam clients while the VRC servers are experiencing issues

[lofty onyx]

I mean, I would be inclined to believe this if it was a one-time thing, but amazon's services are super reliable. Source: am software engineer

[flint mist]

ah its amazon

[dim geode]

the users for sure

[hollow pier]

#vrchat-pictures

[lofty onyx]

To be clear, I'm not like pissed off or anything. Just trying to understand

[tepid mural]

just repeating what was said earlier and again, it's not just VRChat, multiple games that they host are committing die

[wraith pumice]

I can somewhat understand this kinda happened throughout the week which sucks ngl

[hollow pier]

Let me give you a rundown, 27k people are connected to VRC servers at the moment and im assuming thats a whole bunch of bandwith to take care of so the servers are having some major performance issues

[lofty onyx]

ah interesting. where'd you hear this?

[wraith pumice]

What other games gets hosted?

[unique isle]

hola

[hollow pier]

Hello Dante!

[patent python]

Why would I be loaded into another instance of a world when I’m already in one?

[tepid mural]

found it, it's in the Public-Lobby channel

[vocal shard]

yo is anyones avatar not loading

[jaunty oasis]

Amazon this whole week: CEO steps down, he is taking his servers back as well

[arctic drum]

yea

[dim geode]

this is hearsay, no outages reported at aws, no chatter on twitter even

[wraith pumice]

Ye

[hollow pier]

VRC servers are experiencing some issues

[tepid mural]

As I said ealier, I am repeating what someone else said, if people would read more than the bottom 3 messages this wouldn't be an issue

[lofty onyx]

So, we're only at 19k, and uhh, isn't that kind of to be expected? Not like this is even a holiday or anything

[tough summit]

Is anyone having issues with avatars loading

[light acorn]

#announcements

[unique isle]

i.m sorry i.m don't ingles

[white cairn]

It's not then end of the world

[dim geode]

yeah, its just a rumor

[patent python]

Whoever made the loading avatar model please change it

[tough summit]

Thank you. I feel blind

[hollow pier]

19K where are you getting this number? check @floral flax 's status

[tepid mural]

facts right here

[vocal shard]

kinda weird huh

[hollow pier]

Los servidores de VRChat están experimentando problemas y hace que las personas no puedan intercambiar avatares o incluso ver a otros usuarios en VRChat

[lofty onyx]

I'm looking at steam's numbers. but sure, I'll have a look at their bot. Even still, my point stands. This is a multiplayer game, it's supposed to have a lot of people on it

[hollow pier]

Yea but then again you cant expect every big game to drop 20k-30k on their servers

[west night]

R da severs back up?

[wintry warren]

Whew, looks like a lot of troubles tonight so far.

[hollow pier]

Some companies just dont have that kinda money @lofty onyx

[balmy barn]

What’s the timer here

[noble depot]

30 seconds, since people got mental lol

[potent citrus]

yes

[balmy barn]

30 sec here too :c F

[dusty halo]

Hello, i'm having a issue that no avatars load, not mine, neither others. they keep stuck in this blue loading animation. i even reinstalled vrchat, i deleted vrchat in regedit. deleted user/temp/localfiles/appdata/vrchat.. what else might it be ?!

[potent citrus]

no they're not

[west night]

Oop

[jaunty oasis]

You also cant expect the vrc bot to be accurate. Im connected to vrc right now, but experiencing issues as we speak. Also that number isnt that big compared to new years day so this is some other issue besides too much bandwidth

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[pallid pilot]

#announcements

[hollow pier]

All the VRChat are having issues. | @jaunty oasis Not saying that it is 100% accurate but its the closest thing we can get as its from the VRC developers, Not Steam.

[wraith pumice]

It is true this is a massively multiplayer game there’s supposed to be a lot of people playing at once, my assumption is to expect them to have ample servers to handle at least 20k ppl I would hope 🤞

[jaunty oasis]

Very true

[lofty onyx]

Yeah, this kinda reeks of a backend update, not a server outage, lol

[hollow pier]

I doubt it, ive never had the issues im experiencing rn with backend updates

[dusty halo]

thanks for the update everyone!

[noble depot]

Def not an issue with player numbers - servers handled 40k just fine (Cloudflare's a different thing though lol)

[vocal shard]

@noble depot love u

[hollow pier]

Cloudflare is a WAY different thing lmfaooo

[jaunty oasis]

Probably some problem with the servers like getting caught up in a loop or crashing or what not

[pallid pilot]

Its an issue with intereacting with the servers, not the servers themselves. I doubt it will take too long.

[wraith pumice]

If you know could you tell me what other games are hosted with this service?

[vocal shard]

are servers up yet

[lofty onyx]

I'm sorry, you got a problem with me or something? I'm just trying to share my experience, lol. I'm literally a software engineer that works for one of the big cloud companies, so I have an idea or two of what I'm talking about.

[pallid pilot]

Its been ten minutes... relax, lol

[noble depot]

Not personally sure, don't want to spread misinformation o:

[light acorn]

No, they'll say in #announcements when the issues are clear

[wraith pumice]

That’s fine I just wanted some examples I’ll look it up

[vocal shard]

Itll take a bit, dont rush them lmao. It takes a bit of time.

[chilly bone]

was about to ask, anyone else having severe lag/freezing issues

[stuck compass]

My avatar is not even loading

[hollow pier]

No no no lol dont take it that way, im just trying to share mine aswell. Ive been a server developer and backend software engineer for 12 years

[pallid pilot]

#announcements had a server status comment, should have been posted in #server-status but yeah

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[lofty onyx]

Ah, note from my friend: DO NOT SWITCH AVATARS. You'll be fucked and have to restart vrc, lol

[muted geyser]

C'mon Tupper put 50c in the

[hollow pier]

lol i'm pretty sure more than 50c are put into VRC servers

[lofty onyx]

oh cool! :highfive:
Also, one of my other engineer friends just had a really good observation. All the pre-existing instances are fine, it's only the new instances. Which would again point to a backend update

[tepid mural]

I mean It kinda already is I literally couldn't join off people since everything would just freeze after 15 seconds

[pallid pilot]

Its like, 52c at least

[muted geyser]

meter already

[hollow pier]

Very true, havnt noticed that untill you pointed it out. I've been perfectly fine untill i swapped worlds due to a bunch of little kids screaming 😂

[muted geyser]

diamonds are forever ...

[vocal shard]

@radiant gyro welcome to vrchat, what else did you expect?

[hollow pier]

woah, equ? thats my name

[wraith pumice]

What do backend updates do?

[vocal shard]

Vrchat just accidentally nuked so many events lmfao
Shelter didn't even break it this time!

[lofty onyx]

lmaoo, sounds about right

[muted geyser]

time to break out the really sharp poking stuck

[chilly bone]

NNOOOOO

[hollow pier]

just the usual VRChat community, no big deal.

[main fern]

if you come across little kids try to give them an existential crisis i guarantee they will contemplate life and leave for a good while

[muted geyser]

am goingback in ... I may be some time ...

[wraith pumice]

Tf

[hollow pier]

Chat calmed down, now can the slowmode be removed?

[slate thicket]

no

[jovial kestrel]

I don't think that'd be a good idea right now.

[hollow pier]

Damn, atleast I tried.

[vocal shard]

The one time i try to karaoke

[hollow pier]

As the kids say, "Big oof"

[vocal shard]

VRchat is like naw your singing sucks lets crash them servers boi

[hot echo]

Is everyone here not able to play with other people

[cunning elm]

Wow been using my headset and it's awesome! It's so immersive

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[hollow pier]

Which one? I would be curious to provide my experience with some VR headsets!

[manic umbra]

Bug that won't load in avtars please fix this

[cunning elm]

I'm using the vive cosmos. I got it for 200 on offer up. So far no issues. Set up was easy. Sucks vr keeps crashing tho

[vocal shard]

Why does everytime I get on VRChat has a problem

[vocal shard]

#vrchat-general-1 message

It’s always around 8-9 EST

[cunning elm]

I was going to get a quest, but I don't want to make a Facebook account

[hollow pier]

Try not to get on at 8-9 EST than if your getting the most issues then

[stone river]

VRChat is likely having more server problems, wait patiently for them to fix it whenever they have the chance

[cunning elm]

I'll just stick with this until I can get an index. My friend said he will sell his when something better comes out

[jovial kestrel]

#announcements

[vocal shard]

RIP

[hollow pier]

Stay tuned, theres a new "exploit" (you can call it that) being released soon that make the quest 2 fully usable without a Facebook account

[humble cloud]

Bro where did all that money go from premium? Definitely not to better servers.

[gleaming kraken]

yall do realize that the more you guys bring that up the more facebook is gonna search into how to fix it? xD

[vocal shard]

Some people have things to do where it’s not possible to get on sooner sadly

[hollow pier]

You would be suprised how much serverside PC's cost.

[cunning elm]

Oh shiz nice XD

[gleaming kraken]

nintendo kept trying to patch out the switchs faults so i know facebook will want to do the same

[humble cloud]

Yeah probably, but you'd be surprised how much money vrchat has

[cunning elm]

Ikr man I keep getting kicked and lagg

[tacit plank]

Isn't it Amazon?

[noble depot]

investments aren't donations

[frosty wren]

keep making excuses when its a problem every week they need to fix it

[hollow pier]

I woudnt expect alot, all their revenue is just a fairly cheap "Plus" subscription on a FREE game

[tacit plank]

Should auto-scale. It's expensive though

[jovial kestrel]

All of those investments need to be repaid with interest. It's not just "here's free money."

[humble cloud]

Vrchat stans disgust me lmao you know they could make the game work if they had the right people. Look at other MMO games 🤷‍♂️

[tepid mural]

love it when people love a game but absolutely despise the people who make it

[tacit plank]

There's also a lot of attacks on VRC you know, DDOS and such. They've been target by hacker groups since before the knuckles meme as well

[hollow pier]

Continueing what Atiash said, Steam takes some of the money from In Game Purchases such as VRChat+

[noble depot]

MMO games, owned by much larger companies with much larger teams and much more aggressive monetization strategies

[digital citrus]

guys i have a question and i dont know where to post this, so i have just encountered this bug? (at least im assuming) where my own personal avatars or my favorites wont load for myself, they just wont download but other avatars from other users do and worlds load fine aswell, no 100% loading bug or anything else, thanks

[gleaming kraken]

omg.. check the announcements for goodness sake

[hollow pier]

Yes, the VRChat server's are experiencing issues, please be patient.

[gleaming kraken]

its starting to become hilarious with just how many people dont realize yet whats going on

[tacit plank]

What do you think "The right people" cost? And games like world of warcraft got a lot more money than VRC. And player data is a lot smaller in that as well

[vocal shard]

Ill give it a couple hours, i haven't played warzone in awhile. RIP EU events

[rancid jewel]

servers being poopoo rn come back later

[hollow pier]

Not everyone goes straight to Discord to see the issues.

[rancid jewel]

i constantly have discord open on my second monitor so i do
yes i have not touched one of the opposite gender how could you tell /s

[hollow pier]

Also note, World of Warcraft is a mobile game. Servers for that isnt that expensive. You could just use Privatehosting.eu or something for mobile game servers

[gleaming kraken]

they literally just posted in the discord though xD surely they could see the hundreds of other people commenting on it and the announcement channel with an unread message

[tacit plank]

Your inventory is maybe 10KB in WoW. That's nothing compared to the average player with like 1 GB of avatar assets uploaded.
And how much money doesn't WoW cost, with all expansions and months of subscription? Even if 10% of the current players give 10$, the average will have given 1$.

[humble cloud]

If money is their issue then they should put ads in the loading screen.

[hollow pier]

They didnt ping anyone though, i sure as hell dont check the discord unless i get pinged, also not everyone keeps up with their twitter

[gleaming kraken]

um sorry what? how do you play WoW on mobile xD

[humble cloud]

Ads would be fine if it meant being able to play on weekends lol

[hollow pier]

Its not a mobile game? whoops mightve gotten Raid Shadow Legends and WoW confused

[gleaming kraken]

lmfao

[foggy edge]

Boy it's rough on VRC today.

[rancid jewel]

ads on the loading screen would be cool but like how would that work
the loading screen isnt just a flat image there's 3d models there

[vocal shard]

So what is this, 'important event'? Haven't heard of an event anywhere that I know of

Servers still down im gussing ?

[humble cloud]

Not my job to figure out the specifics lol

[tacit portal]

i mean....to be fair theybhave more than enough from htc/facebook/vrc+....to still have server issues is pretty laughable...

[gleaming kraken]

please dont. ads would be the last straw for a crap ton of people. we dont need anything more.

[hollow pier]

Could make 3D advertisements but that is just extra work on the Graphic Design teams for VRChat

[rancid jewel]

correct

[noble depot]

investments aren't donations

[tepid mural]

^

[tacit plank]

Ads are difficult to impliment, and bring their own problems. You'd have to give ads in correct languages, you'd have to allow, say, Google to harvest users data, you'd have to be able to report bad ads, they'd need to update their ToS, they'd need to program the loading of ads, and somehow make that work with the loading screen which is actually a Unity scene

[cedar cobalt]

ah yes, the game is fixed now, just restart

[rancid jewel]

to be fair, yeah, ads would be kinda overkill. loading screen has helpful tips and we don't need ads blocking those.

[gleaming kraken]

plus the thought of ads in vr games and the potential for data collecting like.. did this person look at the ad, for how long... is too scary of a thought

[tacit portal]

i never said anything about donations though 🤔 ....

[jovial kestrel]

I do not think ads are a thing that they want, beyond the VRC+ ad.

[hollow pier]

Well stated.

[tacit plank]

Also, Ghostie, I don't believe in the economic knowledge of somebody with communism symbols in their username

[noble depot]

The money has to be made back somehow - the HTC money wasn't just free money for VRChat to use however they please (donation)

[vocal shard]

Eh i mean even with all the money in the world technology can still run into issues.

I was looking for avatars that could fly but the avatar I found wasn’t loading so I went to my other avatar and now I can’t use any of my avatars

[rancid jewel]

"hmm this player looked at this billboard for 1.09% longer then other billboards with ads, i will continue advertising them this product then."
-most vr games when they implement ads, probably.

[west night]

Severs will down?

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[wintry salmon]

do we have an ETA on when the issue is fxxed

[tacit portal]

its still far more than server c9sts....not like they do much for development..why you think they stay on lts versions?...

[rancid jewel]

no

[vocal shard]

I'd wait for an announcement or until other people say it's fixed

[humble cloud]

Good there's too many shitty people in game anyways lol

[hollow pier]

Someone just said its fine but no confirmation, me and my friend are gonna check now.

[gleaming kraken]

its not even that hard to believe, which is whats scary about it

[thick hazel]

its not

[vocal shard]

Oh thanks

[rancid jewel]

i personally dont want duckie pajamas recommended to me through ads more when i looked at the ads for the duckie pajamas longer, that's just creepy.

[tacit plank]

I play this game every day, I just got off from it, actually. I don't notice all these issues that you guys are complaining about. And most of all I love VRChat and the freedom that they give players where other companies are strict "no-fun-allowed" assholes based on exploiting their users

[hollow pier]

I might aswell try, i have nothing else to do tonight

[noble depot]

If you mean switching Unity versions again, that'd be a buggy development something lol
plus, developer paychecks, server costs, etc

[thick hazel]

its still buggy but ok goodluck

[cobalt dragon]

Things such as avatar worlds seem to load, but when you equip an avatar it’s still buggy.

[vocal shard]

Please no ads, I'm so sick of ads

[burnt kettle]

first time running into an issue myself too and i play semi often

[rancid jewel]

fuck ads, whos with me?

[noble depot]

yw! c:

[gleaming kraken]

how about we move on from ads? lets just hope they realize it would be bad too for the game and move on

[rancid jewel]

to be fair i dont think vrc will implements ads more then they do now with the vrc+ ads

[tacit plank]

And yeah, fuck ads. I'd rather have them nicely ask users not to upload literal 100s of big avatars, which for some reason they don't

[tacit portal]

lol....okay explain why they are still on 2 cores...its nothing about dev costs...they stay on lts just so they have to do less work,..let unity handle it they say...

[noble depot]

VRChat is multi-threaded, Dynamic Bones (a third-party plugin) isn't

[tacit crow]

ah yes works great

[rancid jewel]

dynamic bones run on one core

[tacit portal]

its 2 cores...

[noble depot]

source? lol

[magic canopy]

can confirm

[vocal shard]

Yeah I don't understand why people have to upload avatars worth like 500mb

[bitter forge]

Can confirm that confirmation

[tacit plank]

It's semi-multi-threaded at least. I don't think i9s perform better than i7s, but you'll definitely do better with a 4-core cpu than a dual-core of the same level

[lucid rock]

true true

[tender tiger]

is the game actually fixed or are yall fuckin around

[gleaming kraken]

cant tell if yall are joking or if its good now

[vestal mulch]

is anybody else being forced to do the tutorial?

[rancid jewel]

it's probably still having some issues

[unreal gull]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 24030 users in VRChat currently

[vocal shard]

I'd step back for at least an hour, then check back to see if the servers are working properly

[lucid rock]

it good no joke

[cedar cobalt]

fixed

[tacit crow]

fixed

[bitter forge]

fixed

[magic canopy]

fixed

[jovial kestrel]

Even if the issues are fixed, it will take some time for it to be stable for all users.

[vocal shard]

Ive been doing fine LMAO im still banned from public worlds so im just chilling in roots home

[gleaming kraken]

???

[lofty onyx]

Countdown until I get kicked, lol

[vocal shard]

Do you think I have software engineering experience

[jovial kestrel]

Alright so. Let me get this straight, you read and referenced a rule you're... you're breaking?

[lofty onyx]

Oh yeah, you should probably all personalize it a bit, lol

[tepid mural]

Damn bro that email made me a top tier software dev in seconds it's like magic

[vestal mulch]

did anybody else have to do a tutorial when they booted up?

[gleaming kraken]

lmao thats what i was thinking xD

[rancid jewel]

:vrcPoggers:

[vocal shard]

I’m just waiting because avatars still aren’t loading for me atm

[dim maple]

[brave bough]

i hope my friends dont think im kicking them T^T

[lofty onyx]

No, I'm recommending that people follow that rule and email them, lmao. I'm not starting a protest here, I'm just trying to get the devs to see some good info

[vocal shard]

Is anyone else like... other people are freezing and it is kicking you out of instances or is taht just me and my homies

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[tepid mural]

but you literally just told people on the discord to all email a copy-paste response

[undone mirage]

hi

[tacit plank]

It's not a bad idea, but they probably don't want 50 emails
Could put it on the canny?

[jovial kestrel]

I respect and admire your dedication to doing so. However, the rule forbids organizing it aswell, not just enacting it.

[undone mirage]

you make me want to use grammar.

[silver heron]

it's the battlefront 2 clone trooper meme, "NOT CLEAR! NOT CLEAR!" when it comes to the servers rn

[lofty onyx]

lmfaoo, my message was deleted xD
Well at least the mods saw it, I tried 🤷‍♂️

[wintry salmon]

was good for a sec

[tepid mural]

woah thats a grade A insult right there, I like it

[undone mirage]

that wasn't an insult.

[sterile sierra]

Yo I get stuck in the go screen

[silver heron]

i'm still stuck with blue ghost avatars, i wonder if i'll have to reupload once server probs are over

[light acorn]

#announcements
or
#vrchat-general-1 message

[weak relic]

something strange is going on. I keep getting booted from world to world to world

[jovial kestrel]

What I can do in exchange, is tell you that this set of issues has nothing to do with maintenance or a planned patch or anything.

[tepid mural]

can be used as one, and you bet I will in the future

[simple rain]

god im getting so impatient

[dense goblet]

#announcements

[radiant eagle]

Does anyone wana log and hang in like 45

[noble depot]

Check what Cloud Birb posted above o:

[undone mirage]

uh, you do you i guess.

[lofty onyx]

Thank you for your response, I definitely wasn't trying to cause any trouble. Honest to god just trying to help

[jovial kestrel]

[radiant eagle]

ok

[unkempt totem]

Hellooo

[lofty onyx]

Could you supply a bit more info on what it is?

[gleaming kraken]

im sure they would if they knew

[jovial kestrel]

If I knew that much I'd be making people aware.

Lots of the unrest during these times comes from people not knowing what's wrong.

[gleaming kraken]

and the misinformation

[lofty onyx]

Out of curiosity, how do you know it's not due to maintenance / an update? I see that you're a mod, but you don't appear to be on the dev team

[vocal shard]

sometimes angry people say things they shouldn't

[undone mirage]

i just joined an among us game with 20 people-

[gleaming kraken]

ive found that often misinformation can be infinitely worse than just a lack of info

[jovial kestrel]

If I'm a 'peacekeeper' here, there can be an assumption that I remain informed on stuff like that.

[lavish quest]

So what's the cause, is cloudflare acting up again?

[livid fossil]

I really cant find an avatar that i like, any tips?

[spice pewter]

Servers back up?

[gleaming kraken]

not yet it seems

[light acorn]

Wouldnt that mean that discord would also be acting up as well?

[lofty onyx]

That's fine, not trying to cause issues. I just don't like to make any assumptions

[lavish quest]

not always

[jovial kestrel]

All good.

[gleaming kraken]

i know someone mentioned earlier it was likely amazon since he said that other servers were having issues but i have no validation for that claim

[tepid mural]

yea lemme go find the specific message for ya

[lavish quest]

ooh, AWS hiccups? That's bad

[gleaming kraken]

but seriously dont take that claim as fact. im merely stating what someone else mentioned

[tepid mural]

here is the message I saw earlier when I mentioned Amazon:

Clien Today at 7:51 PM
Amazon hosts the server that VRC is on. And other games and shit that run on Amazon are having issues

It's in the public-lobby channel

(Central Standard Time for reference)

[wintry salmon]

eta ppl im with wanna know

[vocal shard]

we dont have eta on these kinda things

[tepid mural]

No clue, the VRChat team seems to have no idea when things will go back to normal and as far as I am aware Amazon has not made a statement

[boreal cape]

Servers back yet?

[still basin]

some

[tepid mural]

No official announcement yet, seems like some people are having better luck than others

[tender tiger]

avatars are screwed

[full jetty]

Not be pushy about the question but does it affect avatars, seems like first my controllers were acting up and then my avatar was

[ivory viper]

How do cameron

[tender tiger]

game works though

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message Server's having issues - will likely be fixed shortly c:

[ivory viper]

How so

[vocal shard]

vrchat went down like 2 hours ago

[full jetty]

DIdnt see that message, thanks

[noble depot]

yw! c:
and by shortly I mean not the end of the weekend lol, this is still a vv fresh issue
again no official ETA

[vocal shard]

people at vrchat need to get their crap together and upgrade their shit servers

[full jetty]

It's significantly better than a certain russian company that makes games with tanks in them cough gaijin cough

[narrow sorrel]

Honestly I'm booting up 76 again, atleast the bugs in that game will make me laugh and not be depressed waiting for something better

[sterile sierra]

I cant even get ingame

[vocal shard]

Ah yes, They'll just snap their fingers and it'll be done in an instant. You act as if they aren't busy with stuff already and have lots to deal with.

[vocal shard]

If only it was that simple

[sterile sierra]

My game gets stuck in go

[noble depot]

#vrchat-general-1 message

[gleaming kraken]

why keep working on so many new features when these problems exist

[quick stratus]

you are doin gods work nobody asked you. I salute you.

[vocal shard]

And why ask me this? @gleaming kraken

[sterile sierra]

Dude fix yo game

[full jetty]

Playing warthunder has significantly increased my thought and appreciation of developers

[noble depot]

awh lol, thank you! c:
@sterile sierra I'm not a dev, just trying to help lol

[sterile sierra]

Appreciated ofcourse but not working

[elder cipher]

i had a bomb ass sandwich the other day.

[tepid mural]

did I hear bombs?

[elder cipher]

kaboom!

[gleaming kraken]

Rope? Lamp oil?

[indigo owl]

Who do a sleepover in vrchat?

[noble depot]

b o m b s ?

[full jetty]

For the general chat of this size of discord its reasonably calm, I'm surprised

[vocal shard]

It wasnt 15 minutes ago

[gleaming kraken]

it was much worse half an hour ago

[full jetty]

well that was probably because ping pong

[vocal shard]

Are the servers still down?

[narrow sorrel]

I've been watching the chaos for the most part

[gleaming kraken]

i think everyone realize that it would be awhile and just went to do other things

[vocal shard]

I'm glad I wasn't here half an hour ago.

[dim geode]

im learning macrame

[full jetty]

I've just gone to find some more models to work on while we wait lmao

[narrow sorrel]

I wish I could make madels

[vocal shard]

Yeah, They'll make an official announcement when the servers are back up or we'll just have to find out ourselves.

[noble depot]

internal and external screaming

[full jetty]

I'm surprised I'm still just an user with 300 hours 30+ avatars and a world but to be fair I stopped playing before the trust ranking

[narrow sorrel]

Someone at me when they are up again, I wanted to go avatar hunting

[full jetty]

We'll probably get an at everyone

[cerulean path]

cool, i'll try not to fall sleep before the at everyone

[narrow sorrel]

If they don't then let me know

[full jetty]

mfw It's 4 am where I live

[cerulean path]

dang

[vocal shard]

might as well sleep now then

[vocal shard]

[cerulean path]

yeah, sleep is important, it helps your body grow, and can help keep your body and mind healthy

[full jetty]

I think it's too late for that already I've turned into an owl basically

[vocal shard]

I know a kid who got like no sleep and he grew like 5 inches in a year

Then I'm unhealthy af

[cerulean path]

is 5 inches a year a lot? i would think so idk im short

[full jetty]

I'm 180cm so whatever that is in Murica sizing

[cerulean path]

also same if i dont set an alarm for like 6am and it's not a school day, im sleeping till 10am - 2pm

yes, i said 2 pm.

[tepid mural]

that's like 5 feet 11 inches I think

[burnt kettle]

2ft, baby size
