vrchat-general-2

[noble depot]

900-1000 series lineup is p good

[lunar root]

i kinda regret buying an rx 570. SHould've saved for an rx 580

[unreal verge]

VRChat will definitely run without VR even on a gtx 750ti with 30-90FPS (without safety settings)

[heady lark]

Mah laptop is like, 2014 - 15

[rancid jewel]

i don't expect that to be running vrchat in vr but with some major tomfuckery you might get it working

[vocal shard]

with actual vr vrchat you want a really good gpu since alot of it just goes to displaying on your headset

[rancid jewel]

if it doesnt already work

[heady lark]

I have a rlly good headset

[noble depot]

It actually runs fine - VRChat itself is one of the few games that runs smoothly in VR on my system

for the 750TI though lol

[rancid jewel]

nice

[heady lark]

I have no idea how u guys understand comps tbh

[lunar root]

i no longer regret cheapign out on an rx 570

[terse hinge]

@rancid jewel You're wrong in every facet. I have a HTC Vive, the original, and a GTX 970, and VR runs perfectly fine on my PC.

[rancid jewel]

to be fair og vive is from around that time

[heady lark]

Also, is vrchat free or?

[terse hinge]

Which is fine for me

[rancid jewel]

vrchat is free

[terse hinge]

Yes

[heady lark]

POGGG

[noble depot]

VRchat's free, yes c:

[heady lark]

I am gettin it tommorow

[terse hinge]

It's more free than that prostitute five blocks down from your house.

[rancid jewel]

also yeah when i tried running vr on my 1050ti with oculus quest it did NOT like that
thankfully i've upgraded

[heady lark]

I will delete minecraft to make storage if i have to

[terse hinge]

It's exceptionally small

Like pretty sure not even five gigabytes.

[heady lark]

Nicr

[noble depot]

just under 700mb on my end ectually, though the cache can get up to 20gb

[rancid jewel]

minecraft like less then 1 gb

[heady lark]

Why cant i use emojis from. Other servers here?

[terse hinge]

Again, wrong. It's quite a few dozen gigs.

[rancid jewel]

server admins made it that way

[heady lark]

Oof

I was gonna use the pogchamp emote

[terse hinge]

Minecraft is a shakingly big game.

[vocal shard]

minecraft worlds are what take up storage

[rancid jewel]

pogchamp guy is an anti masker and was also part of the controversy

[heady lark]

I have many

[vocal shard]

especially if you ever home hosted a server that takes up insane storage

[terse hinge]

He also encouraged the storming of the capital building in the states.

[rancid jewel]

yeah

[heady lark]

Yh but, using the emoji doesnt mean i support the guy, just generally pogchamp

[rancid jewel]

not really
the guy IS pogchamp

he's the direct source of the image

[vocal shard]

Yeah I dont completely agree either but rules be rules

[rancid jewel]

oh yeah fun fact i'm pretty sure the pogchamp guy was angry that he couldnt make money off of the pogchamp meme

[terse hinge]

I'd say you need to separate the emotes history from who it originates from. Nobody cares about the face of the emote

[heady lark]

Ik he did bad stuff but, he didnt directly create pog, he did a face that became a meme, or at least i think

[terse hinge]

just the emote itself.

[rancid jewel]

steam just updated

[heady lark]

Pog isnt associated with the man himself, the word is just an epic thing

[rancid jewel]

oh yeah pretty sure the name "pog" actually came form the name for a championship

[terse hinge]

I haven't heard anyone over the age of 14 say "epic"

[rancid jewel]

i could be wrong

[vocal shard]

it was in some old game or tvshow

[wet geyser]

@noble depot i reinstalled the whole game, deleted every single file on my pc prior to it, my controls are still screwed up and i go from smooth fps to 20 fps in front of the base mirror

[rancid jewel]

mirrors are very performance heavy

[heady lark]

I say it cuz my brother keeps saying he, and i quote "fucked fortnite and it was epic" he has made me like thid

[terse hinge]

I'm lucky to get 30 frames in front of one.

[wet geyser]

i could still play 2 months ago without lag in front of mirror @rancid jewel

[heady lark]

And so

Epic

[rancid jewel]

literally everyone above the age of -2 only says epic ironically

[wet geyser]

so i don't know what update broke this but it's a pain

[noble depot]

that's very odd then o:
You could try resetting your controls back to the default in SteamVR, though for the FPS issue you might want to send a ticket to #vrchat-support with your most recent output log included o:

!outputlog

[floral flax]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[wet geyser]

i deleted those before reinstalling but i should have new ones then

[vocal shard]

so i downloaded a program to boost up my mic volume since this headset cant be turned louder through the windows options

[clever scarab]

Pogggg

[vocal shard]

hopefully people can hear me in vrchat now

[terse hinge]

I mean

[clever scarab]

Oh shiii, what program?

[terse hinge]

If you wanna hop on I'll add you and you can test it.

@vocal shard

[vocal shard]

sure! just give me a few mins

[terse hinge]

mhm, I'll be on desktop because too lazy to get in VR lol.

[vocal shard]

equalizerAPO? and downloaded the "peace" extension of it

[noble depot]

would personally recommend Peace Equalizer (which is essentially a GUI for Interface Equalizer APO)

[vocal shard]

yuuup

[noble depot]

ayy lol

[vocal shard]

thats the one i found on reddit lol

[clever scarab]

Aight cool, I appreciate it. My voice is too deep and low so I get talked over all the time. 💀

[terse hinge]

@vocal shard Mind if I DM you so I can catch your VRC ID?

[vocal shard]

you know how to work it zuvali?

[clever scarab]

Time to download and finally be heARDDD.

[noble depot]

for the most part!

[vocal shard]

and go ahead luna!

all i changed was the pre-amplifying volume at the top, not sure if i should've changed anything else

[noble depot]

that should be fine from what I remember

[vocal shard]

but i tested it through disc and they said i was suuuper loud so i fixed it a lil, not sure if it works in VRchat yet but gonna find out in a sec

was so sad earlier when someone asked me a question, i answered, and they were like "ok good talk" cause they didnt hear me lol

[clever scarab]

LOL.

[noble depot]

awh lol

[rancid jewel]

rip

[rocky blaze]

so this new update for invites makes them get lost into the void never to be seen again

[rancid jewel]

invites expire after 15 minutes

pretty sure by then the user who sent the invite doesnt care anymore

[rocky blaze]

no i requested on a friend, they saw it (cause they messaged me) and it still gets lost on the way to me

[rancid jewel]

huh, weird.

[rocky blaze]

i even restarted and still nothing

[latent arch]

Does anyone know a game for Jets

[noble depot]

Responding to an invite deletes the invite I'm pretty sure

[rancid jewel]

yeah responding does delete the invite

[fierce ferry]

Sup, anyone got recommendations for vr headsets? Ive looked and seen different types but they all vary. Figured id have better luck here asking peeps whove own a vr headeset

Btw If this aint the place to ask ill delete it and stuff

[rancid jewel]

quest 2 - best budget headset, standalone capabilites
hp reverb 62 - great mid range headset, controllers aren't very good though.
valve index - most expensive, best of the best

[noble depot]

@fierce ferry would likely be a question for #vrchat-general-1, but I'd personally recommend either the Index, Quest 2 or Vive depending on your budget and what you want out of the headset c:

[finite steppe]

Only problem is, if you want a (good) budget headset, Oculus products are your only option, and they are owned by Facebook, and their products require a Facebook login to function.

[vocal shard]

can you buy the vive still?

[rancid jewel]

only disadvantage to quest 2 is you need a facebook account

[noble depot]

Not new, but used yes

[rancid jewel]

pretty sure you can buy used ones off of like ebay or something

[rocky blaze]

i cant even get a normal invite from them

[vocal shard]

requiring a fb login - does that mean using facebook through vrchat? or would you still be using the vrchat login

[rapid pawn]

You want my vive for 200 lol

[noble depot]

You login with VRChat normally, the headset itself requires a facebook account

@fierce ferry also def see #vrchat-general-1 message c:

[rancid jewel]

if vrchat let you log in with facebook that would be hell

[finite steppe]

No, the headset itself requires you to login to Facebook on it for it to even function. And if your Facebook account gets banned for whatever reason, your fancy new headset just turned into a paper-weight.

[rancid jewel]

yeah dont get banned on facebook otherwise congratulations you have a really expensive brick

[fierce ferry]

Ah thanks @noble depot,

[noble depot]

yw! c:

[vocal shard]

oh dang.. guessing you cant even factory reset it or something?

[cosmic shale]

I made my Facebook account a month in advance before getting my rift s to make sure it doesn’t get banned once it’s already linked to the headset

Because Facebook will ban accounts for all kinds of dumb reasons

[finite steppe]

I want to get a VR headset, but i can't afford anything better than the Quest 2. So I'm waiting for someone to find a way to bypass the Facebook login so i can at least use it has a tethered headset without worry of it becoming a brick.

[noble depot]

You can reportedly link the headset to a different account, I'm pretty sure?

[fierce ferry]

Not sure it helps, but why not create completely separate FB account that's used just for the Quest?

[noble depot]

A lot of people do, from what I've seen

[cosmic shale]

I vowed never to buy anything on the oculus store

[finite steppe]

I thought the entire headset gets bricked if you get banned with no way to recover it?

[noble depot]

Vaguely certain that you can link it to another facebook account, though I don't own one so can't tell for sure

[rancid jewel]

wym? if you're just talking about avatars you just press the trigger on the avatar pedestal
picking up items is grips

you do the finger gestures

[cosmic shale]

Are you sure?

[rancid jewel]

huh, weird. might just be something with that specific avatar.

[cosmic shale]

Gestures shouldn’t be randomised

[rancid jewel]

are you sure you're doing the gestures correctly

they shouldnt be randomizing

maybe you're doing the gestures wrong

are you keeping the gestures

[noble depot]

You have to keep making the gesture, they don't toggle

[rancid jewel]

yeah you need to keep making the gesture

it may just be something with the avatar
wait fuck yeah i remembered it happens with every

[cinder elk]

Petition to add an offline status

[rancid jewel]

is your hand like
perfectly still

hm, have you tried restarting the game?

yike. looks like there's no fixing this one

[robust thunder]

Do you know how to do each gesture?

[rancid jewel]

what on earth

[robust thunder]

And your fingers aren't touching any buttons as you do the gesture?

Cuz the buttons have sensors

[rancid jewel]

yeah the buttons themselves have sensors on them

you dont even have to press said button

[noble depot]

Is your irl room painted with a white or yellow paint maybe? o:

[robust thunder]

Or maybe a mirror

[rancid jewel]

he uses quest, and i don't think quest tracking fucks up based on room color

mirrors probably could tho

[noble depot]

If it's done through the camera it might, don't know the specifics though o:

[robust thunder]

Mirrors mess things up

[rancid jewel]

yeah

[robust thunder]

But that's only a tracking thing

They're having a problem with gestures

So that would either be a hardware issue or...

[rancid jewel]

or controllers being fucky

[robust thunder]

||That's a hardware issue||

[rancid jewel]

or just something with the games recent update

[robust thunder]

I dunno

Did you change your bindings?

[rancid jewel]

ok yeah if other games are fine it's something with the game

may be something with the recent update

[robust thunder]

So even though the gestures are random do you still see every gesture?

[rancid jewel]

might be the avatars

[robust thunder]

What about not doing a gesture

Can you just have open hands?

Slightly curved fingers?

[mild glen]

spank me daddy

[robust thunder]

Yea, when you rest your index finger on the button do you get the relaxed fingers?

[rancid jewel]

curved fingers happen when your hands are on the controllers tho

oh you mean relaxed fingers

[robust thunder]

What about a fist

[rancid jewel]

oh are they the same thing with different wording because my brain decided it doesnt wanna work today

[robust thunder]

Holding the buttons down and resting your thumb

[rancid jewel]

also this is off topic af but nice pfp neko

[robust thunder]

Can you point?

[rancid jewel]

what about finger guns

[robust thunder]

I thought you said your gestures were random?

[noble depot]

Your other hand might be doing a gesture too, and overriding it

[rancid jewel]

^ true that

[robust thunder]

It's usually things like finger guns pull out a real gun

[rancid jewel]

both hands count

not just the one hand that the tool appears in

coolio

[robust thunder]

Churro

But do try what zuvali said

[rancid jewel]

yea

[vocal shard]

worst case its a hardware issue that you cant fix

[rancid jewel]

they said it only happens with vrchat

[vocal shard]

oh nvm

[rancid jewel]

wait, @vocal shard , have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

rip

np

[lethal jay]

Dang, I finally got someone to check my rank and I am veteran status

[robust thunder]

I'm not worthy

[vocal shard]

Hi

[marsh patio]

vrc keeps telling me its not responding or is constantly timing out cant even join someone without this happening. Anyone else having related issues?

[rancid jewel]

!online

[floral flax]

There are 34637 users in VRChat currently

[gleaming hill]

That's quite a few

[jovial kestrel]

Try restarting your router or local connection. Even if other services work, VRC isn't the same when it comes to the size of hiccups that can interrupt it.

[gleaming hill]

Protip: Sometimes a bad router can cause strange behavior in relation to web services. Getting a better router can sometimes help.

If you're using something that's like 10 years old, you might want a new one.

[noble depot]

Changing DNS servers/using a VPN could help too! c:

[gleaming hill]

DNS only helps when it needs to look up an IP. After that, it isn't involved.

[noble depot]

If it's an issue between the router and VRChat's server, changing DNS servers can help get around the issue

[marsh patio]

ok so just reset the router and tried again and still unable to log in. i have also restarted my home notwork server and its saying all good to go

[noble depot]

as well as VPNs

[gleaming hill]

Depends on what the issue is. Changing DNS will not change the routes that the data goes through. A VPN will though.

[cloud shell]

I need help opening the avatar menu on pc

[vocal shard]

so.. more dumb questions

how exactly do i know if my pc can have a vr headset connected to it? i'm looking at the cable that it comes with but i dont really know if my pc has the port for it? what port does it use.. or do i buy something to connect the cord to that connects to my pc

[real lantern]

if your homeless.... just buy a house

[marsh patio]

vrc still brookkeennn :((((

[cloud shell]

I meant avatar part menu

[noble depot]

@vocal shard Which headset are you looking at? o:

[cloud shell]

I have an avatar that's costomizable from the ears to the clothe

[noble depot]

You'll either need an HDMI, Displayport or USB-C port, some headsets require an additional USB A port too - depends on the headset

[vocal shard]

possibly the quest 2

[noble depot]

Quest 2 uses USB type C, I'm fairly certain

[cloud shell]

I don't know how to open the menu where I change body parts

[noble depot]

It can also connect to your computer through Virtual Desktop o:

[vocal shard]

i think with the pc case i bought and the motherboard i used, my usb type c is the only port thats not functional on my pc D:

[noble depot]

Hold the menu button to open the radial menu? o:

[cloud shell]

Esc?

[noble depot]

oh, in Desktop hold R

[jovial kestrel]

I think you can just press it in desktop like the regular menu.

[cloud shell]

I don't seem like that's for it

Vr players usually have a camera floating around

[jovial kestrel]

If you're in VR, you hold down the menu button and it will open a radial menu for it. If you're on desktop, the default button for the radial menu is R.

[cloud shell]

Vr players could change clothes and body parts

[jovial kestrel]

That's not VR specific, that's Avatar specific.

[cloud shell]

The menu for the emojis

[jovial kestrel]

An avatar has to be designed specifically to have its parts changed in order to have that feature, it's not on every one.

[cloud shell]

I copied the avatar from thrn

Them

[vocal shard]

hi there peeps of discord

[modern hill]

Hi

[cloud shell]

@jovial kestrel ill dm

[vocal shard]

can someone help me with a model

[marsh patio]

honestly i give up now im getting bad gateway errors from vrchats end via my home networking server and having issues connecting to friends. there we go another loyal user gone.]

[modern hill]

Uhh

[vocal shard]

Lol

[jovial kestrel]

There are a plethora of channels around for specific issues. #3d-modeling, #avatars-2-general, #avatar-general depending on what sort of issues you are encountering.

[modern hill]

Lol

[vocal shard]

Lol

[jovial kestrel]

Move this post to #shameless-self-promotion .

[cloud shell]

@jovial kestrel im trying to dm help

I want to show you what I see

Is it the menu with the emojis?

[jovial kestrel]

It's in that menu set yes.

[cloud shell]

Which part?

I don't see it

[modern hill]

U can only do it if the avatar is specifically designed to do it and if so it's probably in the emote menu there, if there is nothing there it might only be available for vr users though a click menu if u have seen others do it

[jovial kestrel]

It won't be under Emojis, Expressions or Options. Try exploring any additional menus if it has them, or ask the friend that you copied it from.

I can't help you any more than that without pictures or the avatar itself.

[obsidian crag]

Anyone happen to know the pxiel size of an avatar profile picture for upload, so I can crop correctly?

Or what the aspect ratio is

[jovial kestrel]

Must be less than 10MB, larger than 64x64 pixels, and smaller than 2048x2048 pixels.

[modern hill]

The size is 256x192

At least the one on the vrchat website as the avatar preview pic

[cloud shell]

Works

[obsidian crag]

I don't math right now cause alchohol. But that's roughly 4:3?

[jovial kestrel]

Basically.

[robust thunder]

anyone else see that :3 as a face?

[modern hill]

It's exactly 4:3

[vocal shard]

[modern hill]

Ohh ur right

A face with a cap

[robust thunder]

Lmao, yea!

[obsidian crag]

vatars 3.0
Lots of new features for AV3, including:

• Parameter persistence! Save your avatar parameters when you switch between avatars, load a new world, or close and re-open VRChat.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: By default, all parameters are saved on all "legacy" Avatars 3.0 avatars. That means that all AV3 avatars will have this ability from launch!
• Added the bool parameter type!
• A change to the parameter system that means depending on what parameter types you use, you can have up to 128 synced parameters!

Is there a way to disable parameter perisstence in unity?

[vocal shard]

rest in piece uganda, the world is gone, the owners account got hacked

Rip

[modern hill]

Oofie

[wheat basin]

anyone know where to ask about bugs and stuff?

[vocal shard]

Legoman99573 still has the world and has uploaded it again, Legoman99573 is a friend of the og map maker

[robust thunder]

I'm gunna say no but I don't actually know

[obsidian crag]

I thoguht there was a parameter in unity you could change

But iunno

[robust thunder]

You could look around unity I guess

[arctic elm]

you can report them or see if they've been reported on the canny

[wheat basin]

ah ok

[lofty umbra]

has anyone else been experiencing an issue with the midnight rooftop world where the lower floor is inaccesible?

[arctic elm]

was workin fine for me last night, havent tried today

[lofty umbra]

the stairs lead to a hole in the world and you can fall down on the ceiling of the lower floor

it's one of my fave worlds so it's quite an annoying bug

[cunning elm]

Having a problem I can't find online. I have 2 monitors and my main monitor outside of vr is just showing a black screen. I can see the screen in my headset though. The screen stays black even after I turn VR off

[golden rampart]

Does anyone know where Screenshots from VRChat save to? They're not in Pictures\VRChat

[cunning elm]

Nevermind I figured it out 🤦🏾‍♀️

[inner cape]

They should be there, not sure why yours don't show up.

[vocal shard]

if you have multiple drives check your other ones

avatar saving not working again?

[floral flax]

There are 36969 users in VRChat currently

[rancid jewel]

nice number haha funny number

good christ

[golden rampart]

Can anyone try taking a screenshot (not camera, not via Steam screenshotting) with the latest version and see whether they show up in Pictures\VRChat folder?

[forest sapphire]

I am getting timed out in just about every world I join. My ping is below 64, I am connected via ethernet, I am on the Index, my bandwith is 600 Mbps download, and I am having no trouble in any other games or applications.

[rancid jewel]

may just be servers

[forest sapphire]

Doesn't seem my friends are having this problem

[rancid jewel]

weird.

[viscid ingot]

Is TheDoctor26 here?

The guy who made FurHub

Because when I try going into the world As soon I load in and I can see the FurHub name and stuff it instantly freezes and crashes me

[rancid jewel]

there's two people here with the discord tag of TheDoctor26, i doubt they're real though. @viscid ingot

one of them flat out has no pfp

[weary jungle]

You could try #user-support-old for help tho.

[jagged arrow]

Anyone else laggy as hell?

[noble depot]

Are you locked to 11 FPS specifically? o: (FPS should be shown in the bottom-right of the menu)

[languid beacon]

Yes. On the newest SDK, you can uncheck "Saved" on your parameter asset

[arctic elm]

welcome to vrc

ooo i forgot about param persistence thats gonna be nice

[inner cape]

You can do it on every parameter individually.

[languid beacon]

If a parameter isn't saved, it will default to the "default" value you have set, not zero. so some old avatars that tried to sneak in their own default values, will misbehave until updated

[arctic elm]

hot

[inner cape]

[languid beacon]

also we get individual bools, which take up 1 bit, instead of 8, so you can have 128 params

[arctic elm]

i havent had the time to play since before that stuff was in open beta, so i gotta fix some stuff on my avatar. its gonna be nice to have 128 bits to use

[inner cape]

I guess, whatever floats your boat, Vi.

[languid beacon]

I prefer ints on my boat thank you

[arctic elm]

hah

all aboard the bool boat

[inner cape]

HaHaaa...

[noble depot]

all aboard the Bool Gruel™

[inner cape]

While the avator experts are here, remind me how does one stick an object in world space with constraints again?

[arctic elm]

i barely remember what that means tbh

[noble depot]

don't know about that lol, but might be worth asking in either #avatars-2-general or #avatar-general for an SDK2/3 avatar respectively o:

[inner cape]

Eh, that's fine, I just needed a quick reminded, I'll find an old avatar of my own.

[clear bane]

Does someone know what to do when you join a friend and the lobby isn’t full but it takes you to a complete different world?

[noble depot]

What build are you on? o: (should be shown in the bottom-right of the menu)

[clear bane]

Wait lemme see

It says build 1048

[noble depot]

odd then o:
Is it a different world, or just a different instance?

[clear bane]

No it’s like the same world but like private one it’s usually says it’s a friends world

[hexed raven]

Hey, hows everyone doing

[noble depot]

that's weird! would probably recommend sending in a ticket to #vrchat-support along with your most recent output log, haven't personally heard of that issue o:

!outputlog

[floral flax]

You can find your output log at C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat named output_log.txt

[noble depot]

hey! c:

[clear bane]

Alright then thank you for your help :]

[hexed raven]

Hey ^^'

[noble depot]

yw! hope everything works out c:

[rancid jewel]

i'm doing good hbu

[hexed raven]

I'm alive, that's something

[rancid jewel]

i got my old newgrounds back today

[hexed raven]

Cool

I have been worldhopping for around 3 hours but nothing cool happened, neither made new friends

[rancid jewel]

rip, i hope things get better.

[hexed raven]

I'm tired qwq

[rancid jewel]

go to bed then lol

[hexed raven]

I think that'd be the most intelligent option, but unfortunately, i'm kind of a masochist and i'll see how Long it takes until something happens

[sudden oxide]

I am finally in the vrchat

[rancid jewel]

are you just gonna stay up until your brain just says "alright fuck it" and just turns off

[hexed raven]

Probably

Either that or until the next breakdown

[rancid jewel]

one time i pulled an all nighter and got to 12:30 pm, then proceeded to sleep on the couch for four hours

[hexed raven]

It's always fun to stay up in vrc

[rancid jewel]

ye

[hexed raven]

Mostly with friends, without them is kinda tricky

I am at a huge disadvantage

[rancid jewel]

friends are always nice to have around

[hexed raven]

If there aren't friends online, that means i have to go make friends, but i use the quest so only quest worlds, and i'm not good at socializing so there's that

[hexed raven]

Ye, they make your life easier

[rancid jewel]

i barely ever talk into my mic but i've still gotten like 120+ friends

i'm not very comfortable with showing my voice to the general public

[hexed raven]

I can't even sign at people or make gestures cuz i get shy

Or nervous

[rancid jewel]

i feel that

[hexed raven]

Like, i wish i had more friends, but i don't want to go through the pain of finding them

[rancid jewel]

i can add you on VRC if you want

[hexed raven]

And most of the times a lot of frends are doing stuff with other friends of theirs

And that's like weird cuz it's very probable that i'll get left out so i kinda nope myself

[hexed raven]

That'd be cool

[rancid jewel]

what's your username?

[hexed raven]

Dmed you

[sudden oxide]

I found a creeper already X.X

[rancid jewel]

yike

[mental torrent]

omg new gta5 leak

[west socket]

anyone know why there are random colored robots saying "perf blocked" on their chest and they supposedly have another avatar in the social menu

[noble depot]

@west socket Those avatars are either performance blocked because of your safety settings, or they're PC-only avatars that don't have a Quest equivalent

[west socket]

if they are pc only avatars why does it say they are on the quest?

[noble depot]

in that case, they're likely using avatars that are being blocked by your safety settings - open your menu and click on them, then click "Show Avatar" - though note that their avatar is likely perf. blocked for a reason lol

[west socket]

ok i'll look at it

[verbal owl]

How long's it take to go from Visitor to New User?

I have almost 9 hours total playtime, though I only recently linked my Steam and VRC accounts

[noble depot]

It's not strictly time-based - things like friends, worlds visited, avatars/worlds uploaded (if the account has permission) and active hours all help your trust score, alongside not getting blocked/kicked muted

[verbal owl]

Oh yeah I don't idle on VRChat

[noble depot]

9 hours is relatively low imo - although it's vastly different for everyone, I'd hazard a guess and say 10-50 hours with a decent amount of friends would sound right to go from Visitor > New User

[verbal owl]

So you have to visit a lot of worlds?

[noble depot]

Don't have to, it just helps c:

[verbal owl]

What's a "decent amount" of friends?

[noble depot]

again wildly different for everyone, but probably in the low double-digits (10-30)

[verbal owl]

Ahh

I'm not sure how many I have

also gosh dang I cannot get VRChat to record properly

I try to record the VRChat window but it just records random windows instead

[noble depot]

what program are you using to record? o:

[verbal owl]

OBS

I have it set to record the VRC window

[noble depot]

Try using either Window Capture or Game Capture

[verbal owl]

Yeah I think I was using Window Capture?

[noble depot]

in that case, try game capture o:

[verbal owl]

Okay, I'll give that a try next time

I've never had this kind of trouble recording with OBS

It records the sound from VRChat just fine--just not the actual video for some reason

[noble depot]

I'unno, OBS is dark magic for me lol

I know how to tame it enough to do what I want with it, but past that pfft

[verbal owl]

I tried putting the VRChat window in front of all the others but it just picks up the other windows behind it

it's very strange

[thorny anvil]

where can i find community bindings for G2? Is it possible to use the analog sticks to move?

[cunning elm]

Anyone recommend some chill rooms?

[vivid lark]

theres a rest and sleep set of rooms

but otherwise i like drinking night. seems more adults go there and chill

[cunning elm]

I've had luck finding chill people in drinking night

I really want full tracking now 😢

[vivid lark]

haha same it looks so natural

[sudden oxide]

I'm going into the great pug

[robust thunder]

Ah, what a grand place it is

[gloomy jasper]

Is it possible to interact with text boxes if you're using the controllers. (Text boxes for entering url's for video players, etc.)

[zealous trout]

where can i find avatars with weapons?

[robust thunder]

Ask in #avatar-search-old

[robust thunder]

I think so but I'm not sure

[dim geode]

i use a small wireless keyboard (on pcvr) for pasting urls into those

[vocal shard]

quest 2 standalone users are just screwed

unless there is some way ion

Hello

[tough lance]

yes, you can use overlays like OVR Toolkit or XS Overlay to have virtual monitors and a keyboard in vr

@dim geode might be useful

[arctic elm]

ovr as also works

[dim geode]

i use xsoverlay but havent tried ctrl+v in it yet

[arctic elm]

i just got ovr toolkit its v nice. much better keyboard than steamvr

[vocal shard]

^-^

hellos~

[alpine rivet]

Everyone who plays this game on oculus fuck you

[devout root]

How rude

[vocal shard]

I mean you could of said every kid and you'd probably be fine lmao

[gloomy jasper]

Ctrl + v wasn't working with XS

[cunning elm]

The quest 3 is coming omg

You girls excited?

[gloomy jasper]

nevermind, I got it, it's a lot of picking up and putting down the controllers for keyboard access though

[cunning elm]

Hol up. What's wrong with quest?

[meager gyro]

If it makes quest 2 cheaper fine by me

[vocal shard]

the quest is kinda.. kindaa trash :(

[cunning elm]

Sometimes their mics sound horrible

How the fk have they not fixed that by now? Hardware issue not a patch I guess

[vocal shard]

there’s been a lot of issues with the quest 2 lately, and if they make a quest 3 it might just cause more issues and what not

[meager gyro]

From what I head its...trash but ugh its good for a budget

[vocal shard]

there’s pros and cons ofc!

[meager gyro]

A big pro..the price! Srsly its either that or I try to go for something a bit pricier

[rigid trout]

Who is a Jew in chat?

[vocal shard]

tbh i suggest like a rift s or vive if you don’t wanna spend tooo much money

[vocal shard]

why?

[rigid trout]

Because I am a Jew

And I want to play if Jews

Because they curse me

[vocal shard]

i don’t wanna seem rude or anything but luv saying the word jew might be offense towards some people. i would suggest saying jewish instead just so no one gets offended!

[rigid trout]

I know that's why I do not like people coming down on me because I am a Jew

There is a mouth full of anti-Semites

[vocal shard]

smh.

[meager gyro]

Rift S is prob the one I may go for. Hopefully by this month!

[vocal shard]

oo well i hope you get it soon!

[meager gyro]

Ty! Wish me luck! Id prob feel more brave to talk in vrchat with actual vr aha

[vocal shard]

oo well if you ever wanna play with anyone you can hmu if you like haha, me and my friends hang out with a few other desktop/pc players and it’s just as fun

[meager gyro]

Ahhh ty ty!

[glad wagon]

Hello how are u?

[vocal shard]

ofc yw

[vocal shard]

good, wbu?

[glad wagon]

Sad

[vocal shard]

how come?

[rigid trout]

Can I get help from someone?

I have a problem with the game

[glad wagon]

I can’t find any grub hub avatars 😦

[vocal shard]

again i suggest #user-support-old

[vocal shard]

did you try asking in #avatar-search-old ?

[meager gyro]

Isn't that meme fairly new? Not surprised there isnt any yet..

[vocal shard]

yeah i would say just wait it out

[rigid trout]

I sent

#user-support-old

[vocal shard]

lots of avatar characters are revamping and or making new avatars

[rigid trout]

Do you know how to arrange?

[vocal shard]

hm

your problem is a bit confusing

[rigid trout]

I can not open the avatar

[vocal shard]

is it now showing up in your favorite list or can you not wear it at all

[sudden oxide]

Ya know for my first time in vrchat I had a pretty good time

[cunning elm]

That's good to hear

[sudden oxide]

Made some friends already too

[vocal shard]

that’s great

[cunning elm]

I feel weird asking the few I've made to an invite to their private worlds.

[vocal shard]

sometimes i feel that way too

but that’s why i like to make lots of friends and i always stay on join me aka blue

unless i’m busy or streaming i’ll go on orange haha

[sudden oxide]

I mean I've only been on it for a few hours

[cunning elm]

I look forward to my off days so I can play at midnight. Hardly any kids

[sudden oxide]

Depending on your location

[vocal shard]

i haven’t seen any kids in a while tbh

[cunning elm]

Lucky

[sudden oxide]

I did and they were annoying

[dark vale]

Yeah how to kick out thw kids? They are annoying in vr

[unreal verge]

Block them

[cunning elm]

Just turn down their mic or block.

[meager gyro]

Havent been in much pub rooms so havent seen/heard any yet

[vocal shard]

i block tbh

anywayss speaking of vrchattt time to get back online

[sudden oxide]

I blocked them cause they were like oh shut the f up

[meager gyro]

👋

[vocal shard]

and nvm i’m already bored lol

[floral rapids]

Anyone know the best way to meet people without having to go into pub rooms

[cunning elm]

Lol

[vocal shard]

no one fun is online rn

[dark vale]

They were screaming that loud so had headache

[cunning elm]

That happens to me sometimes. I'm so excited to go online. Then I'm bored 2mins in and log out

[sudden oxide]

I was taken to one of the old worlds today

[west yoke]

It'll help if you go to PC only worlds as a decent portion of kids are on standalone Quest.

[vocal shard]

^

[cunning elm]

I keep forgetting that

[vocal shard]

some places that don’t have kids are void club and drinking night

sometimes fbt heaven doesn’t havé kids either

[dark vale]

Im logging into empty world because its easy to speak to few instead of group for me

Yesterday i was on event for furries wirh capacity of 70

[meager gyro]

Was it that hotel place?

[dark vale]

It was place looking likw blue cube

[vocal shard]

anyways ig time to sit here for hours alone and bored

[dark vale]

People were so nice hardl any kida

[cunning elm]

Yeah too many people talking at once in the packed rooms. Fun somethings tho. It's crazy how it's like I can feel when people walk past me

[meager gyro]

Ahh never seen...I only know of that hotel cause it was under hot

[celest tulip]

What game does the boys play were they are green toothbrushes

[cunning elm]

Lol those damn toothbrushes

[celest tulip]

ye im not beibng rude or anything i just want to know

[meager gyro]

Is it one of the default avatars or something?

[vocal shard]

mhm

[west yoke]

Yeah the brush avatar shows up in the public avatar listing

[cunning elm]

I heard that Uganda knuckles original avatar was deleted?

[meager gyro]

I..guess thats why

[dark vale]

Seen some yesterday

[west yoke]

The original is still up on Deviantart.

[cunning elm]

Idk some guys in game were talking about the original avatar being gone. I see them too tho.

[vocal shard]

off topic but like i was on tiktok while my vr was like on my head and i glance at it and saw a weird figure behind me then look inside my vr and saw someone standing behind me. i like jumped lol vrc characters can be scary

[meager gyro]

Spookeh

[vocal shard]

ngl still kinda scared haha

[cunning elm]

Get her number

[dark vale]

Someone behind you in vr ?

[vocal shard]

someone was behind me in vrc

[sand summit]

How much is the cheapest-est-est VR ever ?

[vocal shard]

Hello

[broken plover]

300$ For quest 2

[vocal shard]

No ty

[sand summit]

That's, way too expensive

[vocal shard]

no vr for you then

[meager gyro]

Most cheap ones are usually only for phones

[dark vale]

Pc experience for vrchat is not bad

[cosmic shale]

Not too expensive for vr

[jade oyster]

yo, how does one report a scam attempt?

[west yoke]

In VRChat?

[vocal shard]

in discord, you DM one of the active chat mods

[jade oyster]

ok cheersr

[cunning elm]

The cheapest you will find is going to be 200 or risk buying used

[celest narwhal]

god my vrchats crashed at least 6 times tonight

[livid fossil]

I met grimsy in game

Oh wait his friend lupus has even more subs, he was there too

[cunning elm]

My avatars aren't optimized tho.

[river trench]

The new update, is trash ik :/.

I liked VRCHATS update 2-3 updates ago.

[modern glacier]

what is the new update?

[vocal shard]

#announcements

[lunar root]

why tho

just why

[cunning elm]

I don't get it

I don't know how to do 3d modeling

[vocal shard]

well, learn

[cunning elm]

Why

[vocal shard]

so you can optimize

[cunning elm]

I have a custom avatar on the way

[vocal shard]

and while waiting you decide to use unoptimized avatars ?

[stiff perch]

Why i cant hear people speak?

[vocal shard]

turn on your sound

[stiff perch]

Already turn

I can hear game sound

[heady lark]

I finnaly got vrchat, now i just meed to figure out how to get pog avatars that aren't shibe in a suit

[stiff perch]

But i cant hear people talk

[heady lark]

Are u sure they're talking?

[stiff perch]

Yes

Im sad

[heady lark]

Oof

Idk, it just works for me

Ppl cant. Rlly hear me tho

[stiff perch]

😢

[heady lark]

Can vrchat be run on a mac?

[stiff perch]

Maybe

[heady lark]

I want my frend to join me and have fun but they have mac

[west yoke]

Not natively but using stuff like Wine or Bootcamp it's possible

[heady lark]

Ill see.

Yeah, i checked and the only way she wud be able to is my downloading windows

[modern glacier]

tyyy

[jade copper]

@stiff perch before you open up vrchat, make sure your audio source in windows is set to your vr headset

then open the game. sometimes with my oculus i can hear menu noises and stuff but no voices at all and its because i forgot to switch the audio source before opening

[stiff perch]

Im play on pc not vr

[jade copper]

oh heck then i'm not sure

[stiff perch]

Ahhhhhhhhhh

[jade copper]

did you mess with the in game audio sliders?

[stiff perch]

Yes

[jade copper]

welp i'm not sure then sorry

[stiff perch]

😢 😫

[lunar root]

no

[heady lark]

Yeah, found it out mahself, tis an oof

Yeah, found it out mahself, tis an oof

[vocal shard]

Hello everybody, anyone can tell me how can I fix the glitch of most part of characters?

[west yoke]

Need to elaborate what you mean by that

[unreal verge]

He wants someone to upload the avatar so he can clone from You

[west yoke]

Are they turning into grey spaghetti or like?

[vocal shard]

yeah

I'll show you on dm

@west yoke the texture got glitched only on avatars, can you accept my friend req?

[west yoke]

#user-support-old

[acoustic shale]

Guys, help needed of people who use oculus headsets

[jade copper]

Describe issue pls

[verbal owl]

Wait, why

I use a Rift S—what’s wrong with it??

[vocal shard]

hey

I have 1 to 1 issue

And can't find actual solution

SteamVR not playable in any games

[rocky blaze]

so when is that 20fps limit for the select user menu gonna be fixed lmao

[vocal shard]

never

[rocky blaze]

it kinda breaks a layer of safety tho, i know you can just emergency hide everything or try to get to the safety settings but still

[winter sierra]

VRC should make radial menu for the camera so it will be easier to press the buttons

[vocal shard]

There's a serious issue staff need to fix. Since the 1046 build update when people load or switch avatars I get my frames dropped to 5 then hard crash out steam vr. This didnt happen alot before the update now it happens daily.

[cold dome]

Desktop or standalone

[unreal verge]

He said SteamVR

[hollow ingot]

‼️

[unreal verge]

I heavily agree to this

Camera buttons currently are shit

[vocal shard]

Well this is nice

[unreal verge]

Have to search for their hitbox for minutes

[vocal shard]

Hey Svel, I know it was a year ago and you probably forgot cause you don’t even know me but thanks, your a life saver, I’ve been trying to find a Mai avatar for ages!!!!

[vocal shard]

np

[empty agate]

Yessir

[naive compass]

Did everything just die?

I keep on getting hard crashes

So pog

Good to see the new build is stable

[robust thunder]

Lmao, I dunno it was working fine for me yesterday

[vocal shard]

I havent had a problem either

[keen wren]

I'm having an issue where avatars that I removed from my favorited list aren't disappearing. Is there any way I can fix this?

I have an avatar that's no longer available, and I went to replace it with something that I can use.

only problem is, when I tried to remove it from my favorite list, it didn't remove it and I can't add a different avatar.

[verbal owl]

Man does anyone else like... get pain in their knees after playing VRC for a few hours?

[vocal shard]

[verbal owl]

I dunno if I just have really terrible posture or if it’s from the weight of the headset or something

[surreal crypt]

nah i do too

[vocal shard]

gotta start to train those knees then

[robust thunder]

Just sit down like halfway through your session

[dim geode]

n-n-n-n-n-necro bumpp

nice

[ember phoenix]

Yo, does anyone know the invite to the Discord for the Volt Club? I want to join it since it's a super cool world, but the code in the world looks like it's invalid (sorry if asking this is against the rules, mods, i'll delete this if it is)

[gilded helm]

time to hop ship to neosvr

vrchat doesn't even stay stable and crashes every few mins

[vocal shard]

Lol

[verbal sentinel]

I am trying to collect all the cubefruits in rapunzels climbing trial with a flying avatar and I only am able to get 49 out of 50 and the last one is on an island that is not even accessible because it is off the available map or whatever. May I ask why that is and if the last one isn't on the not accessible place then where is the last one?

[open crescent]

I don't think it's THAT heavy unless you weigh like 15 KG or something

[summer dirge]

Stupid question, but I'm new to the community. I was wondering if there was anyone able to answer a few questions about VR for me?

[noble depot]

ask away! c:

[summer dirge]

What sets do you use? I'm new to things- and I want to look into paying a bit of money for such. If you have full body tracking, what headsets do you use? What equipment do you use?

[open crescent]

if you want to know the best option, then go Valve Index with Vive Trackers for full body

[noble depot]

I personally use a Vive, but the most common recommendations are going to be the Index, and Quest 2

^ and yeah, best all-round headset would be the index, but it's expensive

Really depends on what you want out of the headset o:

[summer dirge]

What are some budget friendly ones? I mainly want to explore the full body tracking, but also, the headset. I have about $650 to spend, although Im sure that won't be enough for anything.

[noble depot]

That might be just short for FBT, but I'd recommend the Vive in that case - it's lighthouse tracked, which the Vive trackers need

[open crescent]

the El Cheapo option is Quest 2 with kinect

it's gonna be not so good quality

for full body tracking I mean

[hollow ingot]

I'd personally buy 3 Rift S' with that money

[open crescent]

and the controllers don't track your fingers

[noble depot]

^ you can make FBT work with the Quest 2 as well with some software shenanigans (Kinect, Vive Trackers, April trackers, etc) but eeh lol

[crimson lantern]

has anyone tried VR gloves before? if so, what products are there?

[summer dirge]

Hm- so what should I save up for? I'm not wanting to spend over $800.

[open crescent]

and the controllers will only be tracked while in front of your cameras

but it is the cheap one

[noble depot]

Vive trackers are going to be around $300 for three

[hollow ingot]

April trackers?

[open crescent]

you should save up for valve index + full body tracking if you ask me

[summer dirge]

Can I message someone about this?

[hollow ingot]

I wouldn't be bothered with finger tracking with how often I hear about issues with the Knuckles.

[open crescent]

but that is gonna be like 1400-1500 USD including taxes

[noble depot]

https://github.com/ju1ce/April-Tag-VR-FullBody-Tracker Almost-QR-Codes-But-Not-Really™

pretty cool though c:

[summer dirge]

@noble depot Can I DM you some questions? I appreciate everyone's help

[noble depot]

I've personally never had an issue with the Index controllers, but granted I don't use them nearly as often as the vive wands

If you want! o:

[open crescent]

I saw a video about some really cool gloves, they are $5,000. And not supported by vrchat

[hollow ingot]

I don't think I'd be able to use the Knuckles all day as the method of power isn't by AA batteries.

[vocal shard]

do the servers have a problem? i get disconnected all the time without being my internet

[hollow ingot]

I've been on pretty much all day recently.

[restive ridge]

I live in VR tbh

i'm on an Occulus Quest

Basically in void with some productivity apps letting me work on multiple screens

On some decent headphones, which play 8D sound.

[hollow ingot]

That sounds amazing

[restive ridge]

I can' t even begin to express how much better this is for working

[hollow ingot]

I'd have to buy at least 2 of them things because I wouldn't want some issue stopping me completely.

[restive ridge]

I basically am starting to code in my free time

and do video editing

i dislike my real job

so i come home, and just get onto VR

it's my own little world

i'm also going to train in lucid dreaming. I used to be able to do this on and off as a kid, so i have that ability

[vocal shard]

Does anyone know if there are any slender games in VR chat?

[river ibex]

Hello, I just published a report ticket to a group of 6 users in a public world insulting and harassing another user, in addition to stealing their private avatar, making it public and being laughed at.
Unfortunately I was only able to take screenshots before exiting the game.

It is the first time I have seen this type of bullying in the more than 3 years that I have been playing VRChat.
I have denounced several users in your ticket system for abuse of this type, screenshots and VIDEOS without any positive change; These users keep doing their thing in VR.

We would like to make a proposal for volunteer moderators within the game to solve these types of problems, as I doubt they exist due to the large number of toxic users that roam public worlds.

[noble depot]

Moderation reports deliberately aren't responded to - action was likely taken unless you've directly seen otherwise o:

[indigo cobalt]

holy shit that sounds violent

[vocal shard]

sad

[indigo cobalt]

i get shit talking but a private avatar is that users work , now that that is shitty

[robust thunder]

So... You want undercover police in VRChat

[indigo cobalt]

i think is more of a filter , like the one youtube uses

[river ibex]

For some reason there is the police in IRL. Not everyone has the same capacities to respect.

[indigo cobalt]

like example they hear someone say the naughty word with the n and it kicks them out

[robust thunder]

Ummm, what?

[vocal shard]

That'd never happen.

[vivid lark]

why not just block them

[noble depot]

Community moderators likely wouldn't go well at all imo - while I do agree that the ingame moderation tools need more work, giving volunteers the ability to ban people (thus permenantly affecting their VRChat account via trust score, etc) would go horribly

[vivid lark]

i block users pretty regularly in pubs

[umbral reef]

You cant monitor thousands of users live voice with an system just to see if they say mean stuff kekw

[robust thunder]

People would be kicked for anything then

[noble depot]

avatar-stealing clients

[indigo cobalt]

eh i am giving an example of what it sounfs like to me my guy

[vivid lark]

ah

[indigo cobalt]

my guys i know is impossible but hey one idea of the million less to solve the problem we are getting somewhat close

[vocal shard]

@indigo cobalt

[vocal shard]

why not ? US is already doing that since years ago
it's ez

[robust thunder]

Yea, I see what you're saying i just don't think we have the AI accuracy for it yet

[noble depot]

I think it'd be more of a case of cost

[indigo cobalt]

but hey one idea of the million less to solve the problem we are getting somewhat close

[umbral reef]

Ah yea shit i forgot, just need unlimited tax money for it tho

[vocal shard]

[noble depot]

voice-recognition is pretty far along but running that on every instance would be a little costly to performance/money lol

[vocal shard]

which we got, so all good

[indigo cobalt]

my guy we wear pieces of plastic that transport us to other dimensions at this point any idea i can think of is just ahead of its time or has a better solution

[vocal shard]

If that were to happen, It won't just be the naughty n word, It would be every curse word. They'd lose so many users lul

[indigo cobalt]

ah you see ? that is a rebutal !

[noble depot]

I get what you're saying, but yeah blocking/censoring swears would go so well with the community lol

[vocal shard]

I'd like to say fuck every once in awhile

[dense stag]

Instead they’d most likely take off a tiny bit of trust score

[noble depot]

forbidding dynamic bones altogether might go better actually lmao

[vocal shard]

no

[indigo cobalt]

but , but how cape go swoosh swosh

[umbral reef]

I do like myself some Chinese social point system or American credit card system in my games

[indigo cobalt]

i want cape to go swoosh swosh

[noble depot]

hundreds of slightly different animations

also oh god please nobody do that lmao

[indigo cobalt]

is that possible ?

i require that Green star

[noble depot]

I mean maybe but the filesize of the avatar would be interesting lol

my brain pls

[indigo cobalt]

i mean dynamic bones is better than cloth physiscs

[vocal shard]

Anyway, Vrc team, If you see this: Please don't take the curse word idea. Oh god.

[noble depot]

Cloth physics are actually somewhat cheaper than DB o:

[regal furnace]

cloth looks a lot better than dynamic bones though

[indigo cobalt]

REALLY

Performance CHEAP or CHEAP CHEAp

[vocal shard]

cloth component is actually better for performance

[indigo cobalt]

oh my god

i have lost several hours

[vocal shard]

but vrchat consider it worse than dyn bones

[regal furnace]

also cloth doesnt get affected by the Dynamic bones limiter afaik

[noble depot]

also while we're on dynamic bones, keep Nara's unity tools in mind for optimizing DB transforms! o:
https://github.com/Naraenda/NarasUnityTools#dynamic-bone-constraints

[vocal shard]

it doesnt but you'll get perf locked since you go very fast into "very poor" zone

[leaden phoenix]

every time i f ing join a world my game crashes

[dark vale]

What is the rating on players

[vocal shard]

How did they take his private avatar if it’s private

If he had cloning on its his fault

[regal furnace]

modified clients to rip the avatar

[noble depot]

^
modded clients get around that, unfortunately

[river ibex]

It is a paid mod. I know which one they use.
I try to report them whenever I can, but the VRChat API is so bad and open that you can even create a third-party program yourself to do whatever you want.
2 years ago, a user deleted all avatars of a friend.

The most incredible thing, and I will repeat it always, was when I recorded a user doing this, I reported it to VRChat moderation and that user still playing.

And I still haven't received a message from a moderator saying, "Hey, can you send us the video again? We'd like to review it because we want a healthy community free of toxic people."

[noble depot]

Moderation reports deliberately aren't responded to - action was likely taken unless you saw otherwise directly, days later

[ruby needle]

When reporting, always make sure to include a log aswell.

[noble depot]

^

[ruby needle]

Nameplates alone on a video are only so much useful as there always can be invisible symbols and other things involved, or even a completely fake nameplate on the Avatar.
Always submit a log with any report when you where there.

[river ibex]

I made the report more than 3 months ago, hahaha

[noble depot]

videos are also very useful - would recommend Shadowplay or AMD's equivalent, or OBS/Xsplit/Windows' built in Game Bar recording thing

[river ibex]

That is why sometimes I give up or even bother to create tickets.

On the other hand, today has been something that has surprised me, that is why I have sent you the ticket. Every 10 minutes a person appears disrespecting the public worlds that I go to, but today I have not wanted to let it pass.

[heady lark]

Bruh

[river ibex]

I once again emphasize applying volunteer moderators on VRChat.
Put your trust in people who are playing the game from the beginning, with many hours, take a psychological test to see if that person is worthy of having those rights. The same as in the police.

[heady lark]

My game wont load. Sad

[umbral reef]

Might not be great to point to how cops function with the recent events 👀

[heady lark]

Ayyy game finally loaded

[river ibex]

There are people of all kinds, in all jobs and sectors.

[noble depot]

Volunteer ingame moderators really wouldn't go over well imo, both with the community and in practice

hello 🙂

[noble depot]

i might just be cynical about it but I really don't see that going well

[vocal shard]

[vocal shard]

Oh, well frick

[river ibex]

It is obvious that a person who is playing 18 hours a day does not think they are sane to be a moderator.

[umbral reef]

And in most jobs you can not fuck up for any reason, personality, shitty day or what else.
People really are prone to abuse when there powers can go unchecked like with volunteer mods

The type of people you want to have the ranks are the people who dont want it.

[noble depot]

^
giving volunteering people the power to ban people (thus permenantly affecting their VRChat account) would not go well at all imo

[open crescent]

that sounds quite bad yes

[umbral reef]

Even kicks and ect would be a big reach to give people
The rules are TBH not clear enough in most cases as VRC is prone with 'eh, that might be against the rules who knows' moments.

[regal furnace]

maybe not perma ban, but for a short time maybe (a week max)

[noble depot]

heck, look at the Valve (really Campo Santo) employee that manually banned someone in Dota for an ingame disagreement lol

[umbral reef]

Revamping how reports works, making it easier and more clear would be a better first step

[noble depot]

^
I do agree that the existing ingame moderation tools need more work, but imo volunteer moderators wouldn't be the option

[umbral reef]

Like i used to advocated for the volunteer mods, but by now i realize how shit this community is in almost all cases.

[river ibex]

The fact that there are people who only play VRChat to annoy and disrespect is something that should be solved before implementing unnecessary things for VRC +.

[umbral reef]

If VRC could actually solve that problem they would not be making a game.
They would be selling that system/tactic to bigger companies 👀

[vocal shard]

If only it was easy

[river ibex]

At least fix the problem with mods and public API. The only thing the latest update has done is hold the developers for about 5 hours before finding the new ALIAS.

I also don't understand the "Security fixes" in the update notes.

[noble depot]

Mentioning the exact changes they did to security would be a great way to advertise how to get around them

also again, investments aren't donations

[dark vale]

Kiwa were you meaning yourself as the 18 hours a day gamer?

[river ibex]

I wish I had so much time to play.

[dark vale]

I mean with that time you could do two full time jobs

Or one as programmer

[river ibex]

Right. There are people who dedicate a lot of time to a specific game, becoming dependent on it and problematic.

[dark vale]

God bless introverts

[vocal shard]

Lol

[wanton matrix]

I mean
idk
I don't think someone's time in game indicates anything about them except that they play the game a lot.

[vocal shard]

^

[river ibex]

That is what we say.
A sane person does not live inside VRChat. As humans we have obligations to do.

[wanton matrix]

what who says

Who says that? Let me talk to them.

[dark vale]

There is some norm of what is accepted by society and if someone exceeds it, it would appeal insane to some

[wanton matrix]

cause if someone's taking my inventory I have a right to take theirs

[vocal shard]

While I agree with you, they really expect you to manage the handling of troublesome users on your own for the most part, which is good when you have one or two troublesome users but not so much when suddenly your game just suddenly closes.

[wanton matrix]

I'm not even at the point where I'm comparing anything

[river ibex]

I heard that in Japan people who play VRChat is worse than being hikikomori, hahaha.

[vocal shard]

Lol

[river ibex]

Extremes are always bad, but you still have to respect each other.

[wanton matrix]

I don't think I need to justify what I do with 5 minutes of my day to anyone
and calling people out for their game time and judging them for playing the game too much is super super toxic.

[vocal shard]

God there's no faith in humanity 😂

[river ibex]

Back to monke.

[vocal shard]

?

or just tell them they are peasants for having rookie numbers

dont be the victim turn it around whenever you cn

I don't speak giberish

[river ibex]

The memes, man.

[vocal shard]

Ah ok

[wanton matrix]

hah...hilarious meme

[dark vale]

I would love to have such discussion in vrc. At least everyone will still have much to say

Immortal topics

[vocal shard]

I would to but waiting until I get paid so I can get the quest

[wanton matrix]

quest or quest 2?

[river ibex]

There is a very curious world that you may already know called "Know your friends better", or something like that.
You would be surprised how little you know your friends and how disturbed the minds of some may be.

[vocal shard]

@wanton matrix quest 2

[wanton matrix]

atta boy

I heard that's super fun

[dark vale]

If i can refference skyrim my speech skill is at 1 out of 100.

[wanton matrix]

use gestures

[robust thunder]

Quest 1 gang

[vocal shard]

Lol

[wanton matrix]

at least you have the presence of mind to be self-conscious about the way you speak
most people don't give it a second's thought

words have power, we should all be more careful how we talk.

[vocal shard]

I just say alot of random shit

[wanton matrix]

I'm supportive of that

[vocal shard]

I don't really care what people thinks about me

[dark vale]

If people were careful about the way they talk it would take million years to deliver the message

[wanton matrix]

yeah

some messages take a million years
it takes as long as it takes

if somethign takes a million years to say right, maybe that's how long it took, idk... gotta think before we talk

I met a guy in community college who had a tremendous speech impediment that he was self-conscious about
but the stuff he said when he talked was smart and creative stuff so...in fact he should be talking more, not less

[dark vale]

This person deserves a nobel price for being nice

[noble depot]

laughs in ingame mute

and yus c:

[dark vale]

I have to say that i never met so friendly community in any game as in vrchat

[rancid jewel]

yeah

[dark vale]

But if i say something wrong in vrchat i can lose a friend ;(

[regal furnace]

be a mute like me, then you cant say anything wrong by mistake lmao

[noble depot]

^ ayy lmao

[rancid jewel]

cant say anything wrong if you cant say anything at all

[vocal shard]

gooood afternoon

[noble depot]

to be fair though, if somebody leaves because of one thing you said, they likely weren't a fantastic friend anyway

[rancid jewel]

^ yeah

[noble depot]

unless the thing you said was horrifyingly racist or offensive or something lmao

[wanton matrix]

I just searched
I found
no gifs of the Matrix "unable to speak" meme... #feelsbadman
sadly that was over 20 years ago

[rancid jewel]

rip in rip

[dark vale]

I lost so many friends in other games because i was bad at games. Here I can lose friends because I might be bad person.

[river ibex]

VRChat is a great medium for shy people IRL to chat and meet new people from all over the world and make their lives more bearable.

[rancid jewel]

if someone unfriends you because of one thing you said in game then they probably weren't your friend

[vocal shard]

They are fake stay away from fake people

[wanton matrix]

there are plenty of folks who just want to be members of the community

[river ibex]

You have to know the difference between "know people" and friends.
Many people are not good enough to have friends due to their lack of empathy and, as you say, take video games to the extreme.

[wanton matrix]

and if you're just hanging out and keeping it positive then probably that's real good social stimulation

[vocal shard]

😂 😂

[river trench]

I like VR chat better than real life.

[vocal shard]

Real life sucks

[river trench]

But there are a lot of dick heads too

[wanton matrix]

it's when you start going on and on endlessly about how much people who play the game are losers, especially people who play it too much, that people start to look at you and say, "why do you play this, then?"

[vocal shard]

When people mix irl/vr it really does my head in

Its a fucking game

[river trench]

They get angry when anyone over 20 join and call you names n shit for that

[noble depot]

It's a social game that might be the only social interaction many people have, however

[vocal shard]

Lol someone's angry

[river ibex]

True. It's a game, a tool to socialize, not to live in it.

[wanton matrix]

and yeah it's a game
if you play your game and don't play anyone else's game you're good

[vocal shard]

I'm having a great time

I think everyone else just needs a cup of smiles

Yuck

[noble depot]

that's a lot easier said than done lmao

[vocal shard]

I'm going to hangout in the box all night tonight

Your welcome to come say hi.

[dark vale]

I mean nobody in vrchat ever told me: git gud or pla uninstall after game or adc diff or noobs

[heady lark]

Guys

[river ibex]

I know you're a LoL player with knowledge.

[vocal shard]

Theres a real steep learning curve

XD

[heady lark]

Can someone help me? Whenever i speak my voice is wierd

[river trench]

I got told to uninstall the game for being 20 or over

[vocal shard]

I'm a waste of full body

[river ibex]

What VR do you use? The voice is like robotic?

[river trench]

Like bro were in a pandemic ill be at the pub irl again when I get vaccinated/pubs open again

[heady lark]

I use desktop. My voice is described as alien

[river trench]

I use quest2

[river ibex]

Check if your microphone is the correct one in the settings of VRChat ingame

[leaden phoenix]

@river trench

[heady lark]

Its annoying cuz i wanna speak

[heady lark]

i have, nothin workd

[river trench]

What's up @leaden phoenix

[river ibex]

Strange... try reinstalling VRChat or ckecking your microphone in other programs

[vocal shard]

Lol why not make a sports bar in vrc then and stream the superbowl on the player

The plague ain't stopping anything in VR.

I'm going to sit in the box until I get my shitty vroid avatar into the game

Then decide if I should learn partical systems or go back to what I was doing.

[heady lark]

My mic is fine in everything else. Idk why its like this

I used 2 mics and they both had the same result

And i deleted then reinstalled it

[dark vale]

Are you trying to repeat the Fortnite Events?

[vocal shard]

Fortnite trash 🗑️

[vocal shard]

I play runescape, fortnite is for kids

[dark vale]

I can see that you are true gamer of oldschool

[vocal shard]

I have a low level tb'r if you want to go destroy kids and gamble it at duel

[dark vale]

I´m sorry you are talking to least talented player in the world :D

[vocal shard]

Oh I just assume everyone else here's a gamer

[dark vale]

I play games from Death recap

[vocal shard]

This summer VRC is gunna be lit

I think I should learn animations now.

Just have not decided what to do, still enjoying so much free dlc

Even better i hate stale meta

Wait we make vr look nice not apple

😆 🤣

More or less

I need to clean up my friends list a bit and find some real gamers

I'll sit in the box with my join on lol and see who comes and vibes

Apple trash the only thing is good is their cameras

Nah

Cyberpunk is trash as well the hype that people built for that game

[dark vale]

Is cyberpunk < or > than GTA V?

[vocal shard]

it's not even a good comparison

they are different type of games
and cyberpunk is just garbage

[hollow ingot]

Screw Mac because it's not a priority for most games

[vocal shard]

no, not even for benchmarks

not even vrc general related material smh

since it's not even optimized properly

[hollow ingot]

Ooooh, interesting.

[dark vale]

that was cruel

[vocal shard]

?

Imagine having a Mac book thinking your a gamer lol

cool, my desktop can run it at ultra

why even say this ?

Oh dear

why would I want to do that

[open crescent]

my laptop can run it at ultra and it didn't cost 5000 USD

[vocal shard]

no, i enjoy reading a book or sleeping in a plane

If i have to take a plane it's to visit another country, not to play more video games

[hollow ingot]

I'd get like... a Chromebook and just use some remote desktop app.

[vocal shard]

We have a big guy here lads 🤣

I have to say, your name does suit you

[hollow ingot]

Or some cheap laptop with an AMD cpu with the app.

[vocal shard]

Imagine simping for Apple

Oh nooooo you just did not say that

Apple is sooooo trash

Microsoft or bust

Imagine thinking your cool cause you own a crappy Mac book

[regal furnace]

the only thing apple makes is overpriced garbage

[hollow ingot]

At what price..?!

[regal furnace]

3 grand

or 4

[vocal shard]

Nah the price higher than that

[hollow ingot]

Actually nvm price... I should be more worried about my specs. 8K?!

[open crescent]

all these people hyped about the apple headset don't realize computers right now can't even run dual 8K screens

[vocal shard]

I wanted my last concubine to set her q2 on fire. I would of sipped for that

[open crescent]

If anything, it will be like a copy of the htc one or something
