But today, now everything is lagging. That’s very coincidental.
"Only lost half my frames..."
not really a lot of peps tbh, you start to notice at around 6-10 peple in an instance
It’s from the update for crying out loud.
It took that many materials ot lose half my frames
Sigh, I’m gonna have to use a paragraph.
So yes only half my frames you'd expect to crash or something
Most are definitely inactive.
Im confused tho does having multiple textures on a model rape Unity that hard?
i havent got vr to play vr chat but im fan
Even if its some diffuse material
is there somewhere I can message to get some help
if you really know what you are doing, you can even get it down to 1 with proper shader with proper masking
thank you
depending on what it is. having 2-4 materials on a avatar is considered good. having 20-50 materials is considered good for a nice looking world. of course you can always optimize the shit out of everything and have a world with like 3 materials in total, but at some point there is not much gain from it anymore
hello are there any VCs here?
the game is the VC
how deos my own avatar slow me down when im not looking in a mirror
the game i-
O
dammit beat me to it
My avatar has 9 Textures in total and uses 2 different materials
yep
yes
vrchat is free
Textures are fine just crunch compress em and don't set them to 8k really
Unless your doing some really special stuff you could make it into 2 textures really
wow jonny your so funny
The situation is the lack of frames and avatar loading speed. Because of this, everyone is upset with it. The reason behind this is the Valentine’s Day update. How? Everyone is saying stuff about their game crashing or lagging today, but not often do people say it, only coincidentally today. Because of this, the update needs to be removed soon, otherwise things will stay like this. It isn’t from avatars, it isn’t from materials, it isn’t from graphics. It’s from the update that possibly fucked the game’s coding or increased the amount of resources needed to run the game without crashing or such.
who TF uses 8k textures
actually there's a $50 tax if you have to ask in the discord what the price of the game is
i have a 2kx2k atlas in 2 parts
dunno if i needed to shrink it quite so much but
Nah because there's stuff for the pbr workflow, speculars, masks, etc. etc.
More than diffuse maps exist for color
No update happened though 
8k isnt even bad when it is a atlas texture for a large model. its just a pain if its a single texture out of the other 30 textures on a avatar
yeah no update happened
they just decorated vrc home for Valentine's day
I'm actually curious how the perfomance on poiyomi's shader whilst using all the texture slots is vs without using them.
Theyre all 1k textures and merging them to one feels pretty bleh
Or any PBR workflow shader
@crisp vine Well TBH unless your running with 20 dynamic bones or stuff your still performing fine 🤷♂️
noo please dont go up to 8k it uses a heck ton of vram
Vram goes bBbbBrRRrr
thats fine for worlds
Nope just 5
you can most of the time get around with 2 4k textures for atlasing very complex avatars
Well i heard that CVR should be alot better performance wise
textures dont need to be that high res anyway real vr is slightly blurry
If the avatars very complex it's probably using far more than 2 textures, there are more textures than diffuse maps.
wonderful
good luck getting enough players though
Normal maps, specular maps, AO maps, and then all sorts of masking on some shaders
CVR just launched into EA, lets see how it goes tbh
DOA my friends are on vrc why would I go there
So far i understand it does perform better, unless you ofc change some settings.
But so far i noticed its nothing magical because they are still using unity
Dunno to have a less toxic experience? Sometimes you cant even sitting in public lobbies because you get harrassed (mostly by quest or desktop users) for just chilling which is kinda annoying when youre around to make some new friends
And the same shit code for dynamic bones doesnt get improved just because you moved up a unity version
I know oculus quest 2 is suggested but is there one that is maby cheaper and also suggested???
Doesnt it use more cores then just one?
well than you atlas them in separate textures, there is still no need to go up to 8k, its not like you will combine all maps in a single atlas
Like 2016 
😂
???
8k Is really only useful for worlds
i've got a 3700x as my cpu
No, dynamic bones or other avatar components clogg up your main core and unity slows all other cores down to that speed
Does unity actually do that
the hec
you could combine some of them as separate channels tho, like combine AO, secular and roughness in a single rgb texture, but that will need a modified shader to read it
There's no way unity actually does that, r-right?
Single core performance is still the most important factor, but yes the game has always offloaded some work to other cores. They're working on optimizing the work that the other cores and threads use though
That sounds like some functionality poiyimi's shader doesn't have (does it) so I've no clue how to do that yet, if it does maybe time to learn
So far i understand it from what i got explained/googled, yea, it slows stuff down so not have too much spread
Game engines are not meant to have users upload content and function well, they are kinda meant so that developers can skid the line on performance and visuals
it does, its not like it will skip executing some stuff when the main thread becomes full
I've never heard of unity intentionally bogging down other threads because the main one is running slow
That's a new one
And to make it more clear, before some things like the Voip system or even IK also taxes that main core
The Voip got like moved early 2018 and IK properly with the 'new' IK they have
CVR performs better until you enable Dynamic Bone Interaction lol
also jamie just tell the devs to flip the "enable multi-threading" button /s
lmao
actually wait tell them to uncheck the button that makes people sit in chairs as host randomly
Gotta give props to CVR for how 'smooth' there IK locally feels
But fuck there menu's tho, im too stupid to use them
I like that the menu gets visible where you currently look at
lmao tbh CVR feels just like VRC with all the popular mods already installed
v:
So I found a thread on the unity forums, it looks like that stuff about slowing down the other cores was a bug in 2015?
VRChat should do that too. So that the menu appears where you currently look at
Nah thats literally one of the worse things about the menu
Does it?
wait itdoes that? yikes
Sometimes the VRC menu turns with your head and I hate it when it does that
All for having it pop up in a central place and being able to move it after, but having it show up halfway in the ground because i looked down or pop higher then i wanted to because im looking a bit higher then normal sucks hard
Well the last position your head was at when opening the menu. Like if your head was tilted, the menu is tilted
that never happened to me when i play vrc
It's way more comfortable when laying down though. In VRChat it's not comfortable having to stretch the neck while laying down so you can see the menu
one day, i will find an avatar world that has avatars i like and dont has only poor+ avatars :|
Oh yeah but you can just walk away from it, that's kinda interesting
VRC could make it so that it shows up where you looked at but it ignores head tilt
I really prefer it being on my hand
I'm more interested in getting more among us maps in VRC tbh we need polus
I don't mean the quick menu
I like the VRC one more than the desktop one by far
I mean the menu that appears if you browse worlds
Ah I see
CVR doesn't offer anything I want really
That I just don't already get in VRC
That one has a forced position that's not comfortable if you are lying down. The quick menu is fine.
Main positives of CVR is no quest players tho 👀
And at the same time, it kinda sucks you dont find 'new' people to VR
I really want to give CVR another try
I just go to the pug to avoid quest players but yeah I haven't been to among us lately since x-mas, so many kids
I want Private avatar sharing
It's called a unity package
Yeah but it's easier than having to explain how to upload to someone
I go to the pug to avoid quest players and I just meet drunk europeans calling everyone fucking faggots and some annoying chick asking everyone if she should fuck her boyfriend IRL and in VR at the same time in a public world so yah good times
cvr does look kinda fun imo but i think i'll wait to play it
It be 'install unity, click this unity package, unpack it all, log into the SDK and press upload'
Private avatar sharing would also be good for people that commission but can't upload
For example Quest users
Better than having the guy who made the avatar login into the account of someone else
Sounds like the pug alright meet so many colorful characters its a blast
If you're a degen sure
The mirror is so tiny at the pug degens don't go there too much
I never go to the pug. I don't like this place.
I'll take the quiet chill mirror sitters anyday over the loud obnoxious drunks
Mirror sitting is a fascinating social construct of human behavoir exhibited by VRChatters
Glad I stopped doing it years ago
Obnoxious drunks are hilarious and fun to chat to, sometimes be funny meme time or some guys RPing the bar or counter, or you talk halo with the boys
Yah hearing a dude yell fucking faggot 10 times per minute is definitely hilarious
Wait I am not 15
I avoid drunk people
So you're just afraid of publics in general. Ew.
Is it so much to ask for some civilized people who just want to chat? Just tired of people who only want to be loud and obnoxious, say disgusting shit for attention, or be overly lewd.
Mirror sitting is the definition of being overly lewd all they do is sit down and touch
So I'm leaving this convo nothing good will come of arguing over it 🤷♂️
Lol
publics are alright when it isnt all children
You think that?
No honestly I have met far more chill people in front of mirrors than I have else where. Sure sometimes it's just edgy teens edating. But the success rate at those mirrors for chill people is pretty high in my experience.
I know someone who already has 30 accounts gotten banned
Oh boy time to sit quietly in the mirror for 20 hours not saying a word
I just don't get it
I like to look at people when I talk to them
Clearly a superior human right here
At mirrors you do that too with a far wider FOV
Yes mirrors let you contextualize yourself in your environment since VR isn't quite full dive yet but no it's definitely mirror sitters being self absorbed
No actually at mirrors you stare at yourself and touch other people in weird ways
I use mirrors because my headset has only 90 degrees FOV and so i can see more people. Especially useful since i use short avatars and don't have to look up all the time
lol
hur dur mirror sitters are degens not let me go scream into my mic slurs so i can get attention i lacked growing up
Uh ok
Not saying that's you but honestly that's most people who go up to mirror sitters to shit on them
I don't understand all these mental gymnastics I just don't like to touch everyone I meet and I like to talk while looking at them

Yah but you called mirror sitters degens so I am just biting back a bit lol
There's nothing wrong with being a degenerate
If i do the last part my neck will be hurting like crazy after half an hour
No there isn't but where are the people in VRC who aren't degens where do they hang out? I want to chill with them lol
But everyone in VRC is a degenerate lol we're all still cool though
Most nice people are in friends+ or lower privacy
Meeting new people is fun though
Yah sadly I don't have a friend group anymore since they decided to all become vtubers and exclude anyone who wasn't a 'serious streamer'
You still meet new people in friends+
Not anymore lol been playing too long
damn
I think i got most of friends in friends+ lobbys by joining other friends
That sucks >~<
do they actually stream or do they just tweet about their debut that never comes 😂
Don't like when people change for fame
They rarely stream
But they are serious about it, they told me lol.
But since I am not a serious streamer I couldn't play games with them anymore
People suck
I mean you can get donations even with 2 viewers
And other streamers like to raid small boys
Lol if someone would do that to me it would be an instant block
Yah I threw a stink in the discord we hung out in. Then decided to leave, but I wished them well. And they all harassed me behind my back
Sounds like the mirror sitters experience alright
How dare I get upset at being excluded from hanging out with my friends, I am a terrible person
My friend group is nice luckily
They weren't huge mirror sitters tbh but definitely turned into clout chasers
And meet new people can't have people get mad at eachother if you just find a bunch of new people
I've seen the clout chasers before yeah it's annoying, also coat tail chasers, too.
Every friend group gonna have a bit of drama though
Or when people try to exploit you for their own gain >~<
It's just inevitable, gotta try to make the best of it.
Lmao yeah thats one that happens
more VRC game worlds that people play might limit this from happening
I don't go much in pubs. But for meeting people with the same language i also can only choose between 2 worlds and most people in German worlds are toxic
Among Us is actually quite fun I wish more adults played it in VRC
we did
Can't go into a German world without max safety
I used to have a few beers doing tons of among us it was so fun
But I don't wanna play with children when I'm 24
Yah I consume some legal substances and play it occassionaly
Christmas quest event...
But I can't do it sober anymore because of the kids
I need to be fucked up to enjoy it
Usually bring a friend or two so it's somewhat enjoyable and we can just kick the annoying kids from the ship
Wish there was an easier way to find adults playing among us in pugs than commanderring pugs and kicking kids tho
And the guy with 30+ banned accounts is also a German who occasionally shows up in these worlds and annoys everyone until he gets banned again for his malicious stuff
so I kinda just stopped playing and hope people offer ot play
Is he the notorious pug hopper guy? Yeah hes annoying
Tell him he ain't got no drip he hates it
Idk i know him only from german worlds
ah different guy
Soemone should set up a Adults only VRC discord that is just meant as a LFG, not parties or lewd stuff
Just a place for people to connect, not really to be it's own community or something
Eh i'd prefer something just like a "no quest users" instance
Simply because its basically a "no kids" button
Not because I dislike the quest or adults on it
That guy has made malicious stuff on his own and exploits the game constantly
But usually adults can just tether the quest to their pC anyway
the pug is the best hangout place because no quest users
and usually they do that anyway 🤷♂️
True
Yeah thats why the pug came back
I still go to black cat sometimes but usually its like a playgtound now
Seeing kids in those TDA's omg I worry for this world
I'm usually in friends+ anyways
I only join those kinds of things if Im playing with a friend otherwise I hang out in game worlds or the pug
i feel bad for all the adults buying a quest without doing their research
😔
I'm gonna play VRChat and meet people! Oh god.. OH LORD
I dont mind the children that much because I'm not that old either but they sure make me feel like a boomer
I feel old talking to even 18 year olds now at 24
Yah I am in my late 20's so I just don't wanna be around kids at all
Even teens I don't wanna be around tbh but I make exceptions if they're really chill
👀
The times were i go into pubs i usually mostly get insulted by someone without me even doing or saying anything
🚓
i wish AFK detection worked right
Yah that's whta happened to me last time I went Octo
Was just chilling kind of getting the feel for the energy and the drunk europeans just came up to me and started harassing me lol
would anyone like to explain to me how people pull out those circular cameras in VR and make them selfie mode?
nvm i cant type european too many caps
photo camera, under camera in options
only for vr not desktop
Last time 3 people got up to me and told me to die and other stuff in a public world. Happens almost every time so i rarely go into public worlds anymore.
yeah i said in VR lol
Yah publics suck
I've never had this what on earth do you keep joining
yall so unlucky I never get that
Be quiet and you get harassed. Talk and you get simps super glued to your face.

Happens in every world lol
Speaking of simps
guess I'm the luckiest man around, I often go to game worlds where the children are and end up with mutes and people above 16
Game worlds are filled with 9 year olds for me
I simp for you Svel
I wont go to black cat, went there once with friends was not much fun
if i talked i'd murder the simps because i sound like the ancestor from darkest dungeon
can be very fun or very boring
I simp for Svelsien
Can you come murder the simps for me then
Black cat is one of the worst places lol
please do, I need money
After im done freezing to death im gonna go to a black cat to experience it
I know that the chance of someone insulting me is the highest in black cat or the Pug
Oh you wait until I get that new job Svel... You better set up a only fans and a twitch
Insert monkagiga
what do you talk about
Wait Octo, are you a hurry?
Yes
furry*
Lmao are you seriously simps
are you a hurry

Yah that increases your chance of harassment by like 1000% in publics
paypiggy simps~ lmaooo
Public trash people love shitting on furries and mutes
simps are great wdym
getting free nitro and free games is cool
I'm both of that in publics
damn
Oof no wonder. Octo, RIP my dude.
You're male at least Octo?
Yes
Being female would be the final nail in the coffin
Then you can unmute and it won't be too bad
No one shits on males for being males
I do
shut up you eboy
unless they take a laxative and sit on their head!
😐
shits and giggles who wants to play
look into foot lovers
they will do almost anything for some toes
One time this girl in a friends+ was successfully selling feet pics for 20 bucks, just vrchat things
lmao at the same time
what
she was probably underage too giving that it's vrchat

20+ be some high price for some foots
feet*
I only know 1 girl in my friends list thats above 18
Me and my friend group who was just world hopping felt very weird and left shortly after telling them thats dumb
me: i can actually look like a girl in vrchat how wonderful
that guy with the muscular steve avatar: so you have chosen death
Why in the fuck do you have underaged girls on your friends list 👀
You deserve to get bullied if you would genuinely pay 20 dollars for pics of feet or any other fetish
🚓
I am not doing anything with them shush
you can be friends with minors if you're not a creep lmao
🚔
I mean there is nothing wrong with hanging out with underage people by itself but it is a bit creepy if you're older
I am also barely 18 its fine
Yah 18 it's not that creepy
Oh you're barely 18 nvm
Yeah not like some websites that are 18+ already exist lol
Most people here are probably mid 20's
i play destiny 2 with some lads that were a couple classes below me in high school
im 24
I wouldn't bat an eye at 18 and 15 year old hanging out tbh
22 now 
theyre all teenagers to me
drink from me milkers
vr is usually for rich people, which is usually older people so it makes sense
its like half 13-18 half 19-29
accurate
or well VR was for rich people until the quest came out
I'm almost 22
dude i get gibs and im a neet what are you on about vr is so cheap
rich people and spoiled kids
only FBT is expensive
octo ill take you on a tour in the black cat later
I paid 160 euro for my rift and 500 for my pc setup
laughs in cardboard with kinect
Later, than I'm probably working in Unity lol
I use my daydream headset
I usee a monitor strapped to my face and wii motes
it's a load of ass
amazing
I make like 100 a month because I barely get hours from my work and its shit
I paid 300 for my Quest
I have a simp he just doesnt give me money
Legit it's so easy to find a rich simp to buy VR for you, even if you're a dude.
Just put on coding socks
Just become a furry
I have VR sox does htat count
Im just a boring ass guy lmao
I only see old people in meroom
why don't you code
code yourself some equipment
Furries are rich and horny fax
Except maybe Octo on that rich part since he is using a quest
on god furry talk and chill
Oh I'll upgrade soon. I got a new job recently
furries aren't rich it's just that rich are furries

But i still wouldn't call myself rich
furries are just normal people for the most part
normal in vrchat standards
No they're not.
I don't really add furries but I don't mind chatting them up on occasion in pubs but if its all furries in the pub I usually find a new pub
I put on a cute little furry avatar in the great pug once a few months ago. Not something I normally wear. Got blocked by so many people lol
The hate is real and kinda funny
Deserved.
I dont mind furries there's only 1 weird one I know that keeps asking me for certain images of certain actions that I shall not mention
Oh if I'm in public my Block notification will get triggered daily lol
Yet if I wear an egirl avatar I just get loads of friend requests lol. Same personality. Same voice lol.
People are just silly
instead of searching for friends i build a pillow cave for my tiny avatar
simps XD
lmao
furries are honestly super chill when tehy're not having ... group activities.. cough
Yah if you're a furry you know what I am talking about, I've walked in on a few :/
sadly
Furries are okay, As long as they aren't lewd/annoying
uhm thats furries 90% of the time XD
I visibly cringe when i see people with matching egirl and eboy avatars
same
Usually teenagers who have never had a relationship IRL lol
I've 2 friend groups. Everyone of them is chill but the one is mostly furries and the other one is people that drink a lot (but I don't participate in the drinking part)
XD
yeah edaters
truth
Look at me and my boyfriennddd we're sooo edggyy, we're 16 but we knooww sooo much more than everyone else
Ive seen 1 of those that atleast lived in the same country
im gonna pop out the server soon the mods dont know it yet but they dont like me
Don't messs with usss my boyfriendsss is part of the laughing coffin gang he will steal your acccounnttt

2 scottish people
just came in to ask if anyone else was getting unusual client behavior
Getting kicked for Unusual Client Behavior?
nanachis are weirdos
constantly
The other furry guys arent as weird
I have one nanachi avatar and its one thats as small as I could make it with the sdk
Yah it happens to me Trekkers but ONLY when I am starting a vote kick, accepting a vote kick, or declining a vote kick. Or muting/blocking someone.
Definitely triggered by moderation actions for me
My avis are usually 50 centimeters
I make mine either my own height or the actual height
Oof
Wait yin
like halo avatars are for me always 2.13m based on master chief
you're in alfe?
on descktop you cant climp like in vr, can you?
i knew your name was familiar
Yah I got invited by a girl I met in Among Us a few months ago named Momo but I haven't really interacted with the server
gotcha
should hop into the vcs sometime here and there spotless and space and them are all really chill people youll love em :3
!online
There are 26415 users in VRChat currently
Mhm perhaps I honestly thought the server was basically to promote some DJ dude or something lol
Later in unity I'll have to decide what to do with one of my avis
I implemented a Drone in of them but had to fix armature scale in Blender for that to work correctly
It messed up all animations on that particular avatar and i have to remake them all
_["/]_/
Does anyone one know how to fix the glitch in vr when you going to a new world it gets stuck at 100%?
Not huge on drinking but I like other legal substance and chilling
I don't drink or take substances
that too
There isn't a fix for this.
I dont drink because theres nothing that tastes good
my hands dont move ingame please help
Drinking helps loosen things up in social situations
Good for those of us with social anxiety or are quieter people sober
But god it's bad for your body long term >_>
But there's like.. thousands of different tastes? From sickly sweet to sour, bitter, sharp, whatever you can think of really.
Yeah I know, but the ones I've had are all shit
I get not wanting to drink alcohol, but taste shouldn't be an issue there 😄
well it just tastes yucky
If you're a wimp like me, ciders are always a good option. Tastes just like apple juice
Yeah also don't want to mess up my body even more
can anyone help me its been like this for days
When the occasion arrives I will try
I think it's fine to drink on occasion just .. not every night like a lot of people in VRC do lol
ciders are so strong in the cider taste
that will destroy your body and brain cells and liver
but you have a problem with the alc taste? HOW
dang
well it just tastes wacky
I never get that issue. I'm lucky i guess.
But i somewhat know what's causing it
It's something that VRChat would have to fix since it's on the game/unity side
oh yeah if its stuck its because you left a world before loading everything in
so you gotta wait for people and stuff to load and then leave
Yeah the package loader gets basically stuck
Blocking all next coming packages from loading
dumb question but for vrchat VR camera / any photos really ... where do they generally save on pc?
Pictures/VRChat
👍
oh god any reason my pictures turned out looking like we stood in front of fun house mirrors?
i used the selfie mode lol. i thought maybe it's because my games scaled down to 50% but a friend of mine on vrc also plays at 50% and their pictures turn out normal
I just realized I had my vrc photos sharing to my onedrive.
F
I wonder if that onedrive exploit is based off the camera hook.
Ill disable cloud backup on the folder.
if i use a config file to change the cache location will it move the files there
or should i manually copy and delete
anyone wanna play VR Chat?
just get on and play with the thousands of users on~
😦
Im bored at work trying to stay a step ahead.
Who knows what dumpsterfire im going to return to XD
well some people do recycle candles
🤣

What

I thought yin said he hates drunks tho
does any one know how to get scotish girl illys avatar from the drumsy channel
how
im gonna make my character karlson!!!
Instantly banned.
bing?
CRINGE.
its karlson vibe
why do people go into lobbies for the sole purpose of crashing games?
Because "haha funny suffering ahah"
People are sad is why
cringing? cringe
I personally don't get it.
you must be orange giuce gang to call a true boner gringe
Let’s all admit it. The word cringe is overused but at the same time dulled out because of how bad we all are.
no im a dani fan
trolls gonna troll, crashers gonna crash, haters gonna hate, and theyre all gonna suffer in their loneliness
For some reason people are friends with ban evading crashers though
But I'm suffering despite not being any of those previous three.
I want a refund.
hmm maybe youre a hater
I hate bing, but you can't say such isn't justified.
you gotta love bing as you love your neighbor if you want peace
to be far bing does suck
I don't know my neighbor.
Wish I could relate in that way to bing.
Chrome's... pretty meh.
There isn't exactly a single browser without its flaws, but ehhh...
Google search engine's good however.
if you want to lose your ears i have the song for you https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ear+rape+megalovania&&view=detail&mid=487C1A38A6D8AC2D00A9487C1A38A6D8AC2D00A9&&FORM=VDRVRV
i cant hear anything
no thanks
I had to click 8 times for the video to register I wanted it to play.
Thanks, bing.
ill keep my ears today sir
i like google because i can use my shimegi browser extension
I dunno.
Looking that up, sounds a lot like that annoying goose game "virus."
who uses bing
You just committed a war crime by making that comparison.
warcrime for linux users yeah
they can succ a big wiggly hotdog I am linux certified and still use windows
well its a certification that I know how to work with it by cisco
Don't let them get their satisfaction!
DeTeRmInAtIoN
If possible.
Unpopular, but correct opinion:
Terraria console menu music bests PC pre 1.4 Terraria menu music.
Objectively correct opinions are valid.
😎
Whoever says that opinions cannot be deemed as correct are being sent to Brazil as we speak.
They go to Detroit.
cant have shit in detroit
can internet connection / lag affect how the pictures you take turn out in VR mode?
it might take the picture at the wrong time but it wont make the quality any worse or better
well
i play 50% resolution and this is how part of my image turned out
but my other friend plays 50% resolution as well and their pictures dont ever do that
odd
so i wasnt sure if it was maybe because my game lagged shortly after taking those
yall was here the whole time
I’ll be getting on later today if anyone wants to join or just pop by and say hi
username??
gaming
holaa
Hi everyone
Hiya!
Whit3Strawb3rry
Yep it’s very slow on going in the home world from the start. Avatar hand gestures aren’t moving for the animation n crashing a lot. Also I’m on quest
I’m on an HP reverb and my hands glitch out A LOT. Crashes to sometimes and it drives me crazy. I have to stop using it for like 3-4 hrs after 2 hrs of use just to let it cool down.
I find WMR like the reverb controllers work much better with specific batteries. I use 1.6v PKcell batteries and it helps the tracking a lot.
Most AA batteries are 1.2v and it causes tracking issues and bad battery life for wmr
PKCell? Are you Dankpods damn
hurdur six hundos
I bought my headset before I saw his dumb shit
But yeah, I had already been using and recommending pkcells for years
I've got ye olde varta which sounds like a swedish fart
I started with a grado sr60e, now I'm up to a HD650
Ive always had shitty headsets up until I got my big bonus from work
bought Logitech G Pro headset
I guess its considered budget by rich people with fancy headsets but its expensive as hell for me
and its also kind of broken so I gotta call up logitech
I have had an Arctic 7/9 (I can’t remember which one) for almost 2 years and it is amazing
It cost like 120 bucks and I would say it was well worth the money

It was like 98 total for mine and I got it with same day shipping
he is funny australian man with big snek
is it possible to specify which hand activates an animation? For instance I do thumbs up on my right hand, therefor I want the animation to activate on my right hand and at the same time I don't want it to activate while doing thumbs up with my left hand.
i think so
If you make an avatar with SDK 3.0 yeah you can choose which hand it works on. But that's not available for avatars made on the old 2.0 sdk
😦
its gonna take alot of effort to learn sdk3 and udon
^
I gave up to much effort
I'm still learning Particles and Screenspace
the hardest part isn't learning
it's finding the lessons
Plus I feel pretty comfortable on SDK2 rn
I'm learning by teaching myself mostly
and Research
hi
hello
i just learned how to toggle an object, now i gotta figure out how to make a particle system attach to that object
there's a whole 2 cats on my bed
currently the particles just spawn at my feet
are you using SDK3?
ye
don't you just attach the Particles to the object in the Hierarchy?
that's what i did
did it work correctly?
nah
tangent, do item toggles in the action menu count as animations for the purpose of safety settings
it was cos i set simulation space to world
hey
Hello there!
Has anyone else has issues with VRChat saying it’s “Running” but it doesn’t show up on Task Manager and you can’t forcefully quit it. I have to shut down steam completely in order to get it to close.
Is it an issue with Steam Beta itself?
I can always end it via task manager
I run it for improved PS5 controller support
It’s like Steam gets confused and doesn’t realize it’s actually closed.
Normal Steam supports PS5 controller just fine for me
VRChat is the only VR app that does that. None of the other games to that.
I haven’t changed it over yet, been busy with kids 🤪
That's understandable
I got the controller right when it came out soooooo
having a weapon toggle makes tag games feel slightly more entertaining
Sup y'll just a quick reminder tomorrow is a Valenti's Day :LymSmug:
Rule 15 @whole zodiac
mb
Anyone know what on gods green earth I'm supposed to do if my shader doesnt work
nope
Mind you I CANT use any other shader otherwise the avatar does not display anyway
Anyone know how to make an Object rotate locally to face a player?
my gpu drivers have been so stpuid lately
Use Poiyomi
What did I say, I can't the entire way the avatar works surrounding colors cant be done with poiyomi
"Surrounding colors"?
It's halo combat evolved, the way they get armor to be colored is far too much for poiyomi and doesnt work with it, the shader I found and copied over is the only thing that lets it work
otherwise it'll be a white with black visor model
Where do I put this Tweet I found?
https://twitter.com/chakapo/status/1360511272953933824?s=20
it knee bone animation related
I think I figured out how to fix the sudden lag issues in VRchat
But before I take action
Does Vader Immortal mess with your computer if you buy it?
I think that’s causing the lag
Because now the lag is one boneworks
And I think if I uninstall it
I can somehow free my computer of the hell it’s going through
And then continue playing VRchat
Ok, I'll just make a guess
Southern, you can talk if you want.
No need to keep thinking on what sentence you should choose.
I’m not gonna say anything negative towards any of them.
hello
Was just needing some help that's all. I'm wandering if anyone else has issues with their avatar list and you not being able to favorite/unfavorite? I have a total of 3/25 avatars, but my list is showing 5. Two of them I need to unfavorite, but it won't let me.
Well, I guess my question remains unanswered
If that’s the case, I’m uninstalling Vader immortal
So I can be free of the lag.
But first, I’m going to have one last lightsaber duel in it.
no one ta nor ai for you
Greetings
So I can't favorite or unfavorite worlds either. My playlists say zero yet when I click on a world that I previously saved but unsaved, it wont allow me to re favorite cause it says its already saved yet its not. Any ideas on why both my avatar list and world list is broken?
It's like @livid kestrel said, it's an issue that's been happening since the new update. I'm sorry for your troubles. I kinda just found a way around it and to deal with it although it happens every now and then to me
sleeping always works
I don't need sleep I need brain damage
Is it just me or does blender crash a lot more nowadays?
I'm not on a pre-release branch
Sometimes I'll be doing something and it'll just close like I hit Alt F4
Luckily the recovery system isn't complete trash
hi
So, I was in a very crowded instance last night and had to put everyone but friends on maximum safety settings. Is there a way to upgrade my pc so I can have everyone showing at events or is that more on vrchat's side of things? I have crazy good internet so I know that's not really in play here. any thoughts? im running a RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz, 34 gb ram if that's useful
i dont think so
did you just forget to mention gpu
my gpu is radeon rx 580
you might be able to show more users with a 3090, but once you hit 50+ users in an instance, safeties are a must. that said, you need a newer stronger gpu
will be a bit rough for you with that setup
as your setup is pretty weak
showing a lot of greatly unoptimized avatars in an unoptimized world just kills perfomance
yeah i just got into pc gaming this year so i was set up with a pretty standard setup
what's y'alls recommendations?
at least turn on your minimum performance safeties to poor or medium in busy worlds, that will filter out people with extremely unoptimized avatars
don't really need 3090, a 3060-3070 setup is good enough
hide visitor, new user and user avatars, and manually hide known user and trusted user avatars that seem very unoptimized, until you get decent frames
with your current setup, that's about the best you can do
not to mention hiding animations, shaders and stuff like that
yeah ive got everyone turned off besides people im actively talking to but i want that immersion T_T
also mirrors are your worst enemy
this doesnt help in a big party (50+) full of trusted users with very poor rated avatars
with that setup you shouldn't go to a big party full of trusted users
that's like declaring war against china, when all you have is a pistol
greatly undergeared for that sort of activity
as they say, don't bring a knife to a nuke fight
i would just recommend performance-based safeties over trust-based safeties, trust levels are meaningless to me as i distrust all levels equally
yeah like i said i turned off evryone, there were maybe like 10 people shown and they had all medium or better avatars
why is a 3070 half the price of a 3090, this pc stuff is so confusing T_T
in perfomance settings set max size to minimum (50mb) and worst avatars shown should be medium (or at worst, poor)
you can also find clubs with better security that force their attendees to use optimized avatars
that should hide a good chunk of avatars
ddvr is one i know of
yeah i go to places that primarily enforce that sort of thing so thats not too much of a worry
I've literally never been to a world that required you to use a certain optimization avatar
are we playing the same game
im amazed you can even find one to buy
lol yeah i go to friends plus events and theyre pretty strict about optimization
these are private events put on by organized clubs
oh shit i never checked out performance settings yeesh
tho there should be two layers of optimization
an avatar that is quest compatible being very poor is not as bad as a pc only avatar that is very poor
so they should be judged differently

i think they are on the pc side
luckily the program i use to make my models spits out "good" ones with the right export settings
like the rating is specific to that build target
quest compatible avatar optimization rating is different
oh, i thought it just displayed a different rating to users on quests
I'm not sure, but some light avatars that are pretty well optimized and quest ready, still display as poor
when they look identical on pc and quest
yeah, i have a slew of very poor quest compatible avatars
my quest friends just have to show me manually
just that most quest ready avatars push the upper limit to be quest compatible, so they display as very poor, I think
but it's still wayyyy more optimized than pc only avatars
we are talking 9k polygons vs 40k+
ehh, some of my quest ones have 75k...

quest compatible doesnt always mean optimized these days
yeah, i wear them as a courtesy so they can hang with us pcvr users and get a full experience, but i cant always wear green optimized avatars
very poor at 10k, amazing poor at 20k, godlike poor at 30k, unstoppable poor at 50k, legendary poor at 80k polygons, ascended poor at 100k+
i have literally only one good rated avatar. i dont understand what makes things good or poor and some models have nothing going on, no shaders or anything, and are still very poor. LIKE HOW
materials will kill ya
you need to atlas textures because the game hates it when you have more than 4 materials
does anyone have a really straight forward tutorial they can link me for avatar creation? ive been trying to follow along with a couple differnt ones but i think my base isnt the standard mmv size and its just a nightmare trying to figure it out with no knowledge of shortcuts or anything. ive never used blender before so im trying to start from square one using assets from deviant art, booth, etc
Yooo guys I got a email saying I can upload my custom skins
good job u got new user
Yay
Nice
I am trying to get a lot of good friends on vr
Lowkey same hard to find friends lmao
you might want to try starting with a recolor of a good model
I'm learning blender too, I started with blender guru's donut tutorial.
Hey we can be friends lol. @lime shadow
Hell yea
Its Rykgo or Rykgo420
anything with modifying avatars in blender requires a lot of experience with the software in my opinion
although it seems to include some stuff that may not be relevant to vrchat itself, I started on Rainhet Chaneru's avatar tutorial as well.
Hell yeah lol I got no type of friends on car
yeah like i said no one even goes through the keyboard shortcuts so while i understand what they mean to tell me, i dont know how to get there lol
Vr 😂
do the donut tutorial like dangleberry suggested, he covers hotkeys and stuff
Meshes,Polygons those are performance killers. Try to keep them as low as possible.
nice ill def take a look at those, maybe itll click for me then lol
yeah, he even sends you a PDF with the shortcuts you can keep open on second monitor or refer to every now and then.
MVP level right there
where do i get aideraiders avatar
I’m wanna try making my first avatar could I get a tip on how too?
my tip is to learn character modeling in blender as a first step
If you need help making the model or rigging it (adding a skeleton into it), see #3d-modeling and #avatar-rigging respectively - if you have your model in Unity and need help uploading/configuring it, check #avatars-2-general for SDK2, #avatar-help for SDK3 c:
i have been playing this fucking game for the past 5 hours straight
the heels of my feet are in so much pain
lol
anybody else getting a lot of stutter crashes on CV1?
its not enough
i just made my first avatar but i gotta wait for sdk to approve of me uploading it
to clarify, you don't have to wait on the SDK to approve your avatar, you just have to be New User ingame c:
?upload
You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.
As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

oh ok
yeah man if your feet hurt get shoes
shoes help but also big upgrade was getting some of those foam tiles they use in kids play places to stand on. game changer. theyre like $20 for a bunch of em on amazon
ooh good idea
not only do your knees thank you, it helps you stay centered in your play space
i just had a avatar crash my whole ass pc, anyeone else have this happen?
The fastest way to deal with the lag from the new update is to show everyone as robots
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Makes the game kinda boring but
¯_(ツ)_/¯

it isn't meant to be fun lol
Just social interactions because it is a social platform
Can't social interactions be fun though?
I'm not sure I'd define social interaction as being fun but it can in some cases.
is there any way i can get an avatar that i cant find but someone has
Hello
i used to use it alot
and i accidentally unfavorited it
so im trying to get it again
how was everyones day
eh
Does anyone on oculus quest want to become my friend and guinea pig? I am on PC only and I would sometimes want to check an avatar against quest, if it works alright there
Sureeeeeee
kewl
what do you mean
I thought you wanted quest avatars?
i meant i wanted to test my own avatar if it appears right on quest
i uploaded it for quest
but i dont have a quest to actually test it, sorry for the misunderstanding
thank you
yo was up
Sup @strange jewel
They should make a mobile vrchat
that'd probably set your phone on fire instantly
also the community would be like 10 times worse because of all the children flooding in
yeah no please
why do people keep asking for mobile vrchat
yes I have this nightmare often
probably because they dont have a pc or quest to play it
I guess that kinda makes sense but god no
imagine all the 7 year olds on their moms ipads
we already have enough 7 year olds, we sure as hell dont need more.
im i only one that get timed out when trying to log in in vrc?
Uh oh my vrchat is just not loading
I was getting timed out and not loading in earlier. Was there an update?
Burh
Burh
is there anyway i can like turn off the video screens in vrchat
Burh
because someone just put a video of someone blowing their brains out
report that individual
ok
sadly, it's 100% going to happen in a free society, which when you think about it, VRChat is. it's a truly free society
I only say avatar help and other help for things in related so I’m just going to ask here
When I try to make an account I keep getting a message saying “you think you’re slick re-using captcha tokens” and I don’t know how to fix it
Is this happening to anyone else?
unblock scripts
How does one do that
really well
do i need steam for vr chat
if you have an occulus rift no. anything else yes
Same goes with the quest 2. If you are playing stand alone, You don't need steam.
Ohh I'm slow. I was reporting the world's when gore videos were on 🤦🏾♀️
No need to share this information.
Just report and forget.
Does anyone know a way to get into third person on desktop? I'm trying to watch movies on roots home and would love to zoom in 😄
There isn't
Unless there's a feature that let's you do so at that world
hmm strange. I thought I remembered I did it one time before
But I can't seem to get it to work 😦
I've never seen that feature in vrc except for special features that were implemented into worlds.
🤷♂️ Thanks anyways!
are the servers weird for anyone else
I've been getting black screens all day
It usually goes away if I restart but still
i keep getting timed out
!online
There are 36285 users in VRChat currently
there are quite a lot of people online right know, if I had to guess, that's probably the reason.
gotta love weekend player counts
just look at the increase of players: https://i.gyazo.com/9ae1d461a816391f2cf7bb1b509fad22.png
damn
thats awesome
it's basically a 200% increase in one year
that’s cool
The servers are supposedly stable past 40k (what we reached on new years), but there seems to have been some other issues lately. I assume on the server providers end
Cloudflare thought that the game was getting attacked when we hit 40,000 people online at once
I'm not sure, but it could be that they backed down again after new year, as it's quite expensive to have stuff running on IaaS and not using it ;)
But I'm not a backend engineer of VRC so... ;)

the day vrc hits 50k online at once is the day i go outside for once
No idea. I don't know server stuff
they increased server capacity for halloween and new year, so I guess they backed down after wards
I wonder if there's going to be like
A big Valentine's day party somewhere on vrchat
tbh probably not
there are about 0.5-1% of failed API requests, which is quite a lot with 36k people, and if your unlucky and your login is one of those requests, guess what ;)
yo what up with everybody ?
yo anyone have a time out issue right now?
I don't even want to know what's going on in those parties.
everything
I forget it's the weekend. Working graveyard warps me around
unemployed gang
I'm spending mines at work and hopefully with friends if not ill just play cod or go to public worlds
Lul

Wrong reply??
oop yes lol
Drinking bar is nice sometimes, but often people are drunk burping into the mic over and over
Ah
I burp into my mic if i burp in general, but friends just think im funny and call me rick 👀
It's weird, drunk me is completely different too confident
has never been drunk
I mute my burps. Shits gross
i still haven't really talked in a pub
Honestly do it when its legal, also not even great people over hype drinking, ti sucks
though more because i'm self conscious of family hearing me
I might not when I'm super drunk. I was crawling on my floor one night and my headset fell off. Sure a few burps got out
Yeah, same a lil i soundproofed my room with some foam to reduce it
my only interest in drinking is to try hard cider
oh my gods I love your pfp
it's so tiny and cute 😍
thanks i made it myself
:o a fellow artist?
immediately adds
Beer is disgusting. I love wine
having had Sabbath Wine, back when i lived with Jewish family, I can agree that it's a worthwhile investment
Very fancy and classy
having stolen some of my grandma's wine, which was bitter and dry, I can also disagree with you
I only bother with sweet wine. Idk how people drink that sour/bitter stuff. Just makes me sick
try a daquiri and report back, if you please :)
Wine isn't really my favorite.
I prefer smoky Scotch whiskey

Don't like drunk tho. I like to keep my senses thank you 
everyone goes silent for some reason
aha, I see you're a man of culture as well ("man" being a genderless term)

I was straight edge most of my life
I had a problem when I went through a depression years ago.
Now I just try to lighten people's day

you are adorable and succeeding at brightening my very-early-morning
This
I have a similar backstory kind of
Sweet drinks are nice, but no getting drunk
damn why are you both me
Lol
Sleeping in VRchat is the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life
ive done it like multiple times on quest 2 fye
idk if my quest would last long enough
I've never ran out of batteyr playing for over 8 hours n such
but idk if i can even sleep in vr or itd last long enough, but my avg playtime is 8 hours with my fbt and quest 2
We’re escaping reality for virtual reality
sleeping in vrchat would be weird for me
me too, i move around way too much
the kinda body tracking i use wouldn't let me lay on the bed
Even then, people sleep under covers, body tracking wouldnt work eitherway
From that, im assuming ur using a kinect
yep
I used to use a kinect too, once I got kinect I couldnt go back so saved for months I ended up throwing money at trackers
I cant remember what its called but theres a tracker coming out soon, it's smaller than vive tracker and its as accurate, still uses base stations but its cheaper
like half price I think of vive
tundra
yee
I cant see it being as accurate cos its small..
clothing would cover its sensors or whatever to me
technology is all about fitting bigger things into smaller packages
i'm not sure they'll be cheap enough to be "budget" but they seem to have a better design anyhow, with the clips and straps and not being a weird shape-thing
They wont be that much cheaper
All this technology coming out, ddr5, tundra, etc
I dont think ill upgrade for couple years
ddr6 vram is a thing
Ye but theyre bringing out ddr5 ram in general soon
