I have left over 70 servers at this point.
They likely ranked up to new user then got vrc+ and that boosted them to user
Only need the 📌
If they were very close to getting New User, then got a relatively big boost (VRC+, report or something expiring, etc) that might have done it?
Nope he doesn't have VRC+
Then he found a new speedrunning strat
they probably played days straight, merged vrc acc, and vrchat took a bit to update the rank
And he was Visitor at the time he got ranked up to user
I'm just curious if anyone else with a rift headset is having issues with the avatar jumping?
Without uploading.
yeah being in lobbies with friends probably has some multiplicative scoring
wait a second
standalone life it is for you then your pc shite
i have a gtx 1080 and i7 8750
He got ranked like this actually
Visitor -> User
User -> Visitor
Visitor -> User
Is VRChat dying again?
what your ram g
If someone of a higher status has you shown over their safety settings, it factors into the equation. So if your friends regularly require to show you and you wear certain avatars, your rank just floats up.
8 😦
thats why LMAO
aight guess imma buy another one
@vocal shard
get at least 16 my driller go for 32
Did he merge accounts recently?
He still uses oculus account
You can loose trusted rank by clearing favorites alone.
Certain worlds and avatar favorites somehow play a role too.
Same with removing friends given their status.
That happens a lot though, the rapid deranking and upranking. I see it everytime VRC servers are dying.
don't know about that, though you'd likely have to be very close to deranking for that to have a reasonable effect
Removing friends apparently can derank, however
All that happened within a minute again
I have tested all sorts of things. Hours plays a huge role too.
The server issues haven't completely cleared up (as seen in announcements) so that def might be related o:
also to note, those hours have to be considered active
My favorites list is completely broken XD
Can't even open my friends list properly anymore.
Also had people at Veteran rank rapidly ranking Veteran and New user
does ram matter that much when it comes to pcvr?
yes
damn i should have known this earlier
yes, you should have at least 16gb imo
yea im getting another 8 gb stick
Most vets have uploaded multiple published worlds etc
8GB is absolute minimum and 16GB recommended
8gb feels like the new 4gb
you would have 24gb
Might cause issues, especially if they're different speeds but would prob be fine
Isn't having different unequal RAM cards bad?
there's weirdness around RAM that I'm not too certain on myself lol
ive been taught so
from what I understand yeah
it depends on your motherboard
It is going to default both to the lowest speed and size or be completely incompatible.
worst thing that is going to happen is Windows having a blue screen
I only have 8GB RAM right now. If i got a new pc it'll be more. But that's a long time of saving up.
a public instance of VirtualFurence eats my 16gb like nothing lmao
Yeah definitely can't have your safety at none in any public with 8GB
Well at least crowded publics
def yeah o:
My room mate has 32GB RAM
But he also has a way better pc than me
My one is almost dying every time i do something which requires lots of performance lol
Well it's only a matter of time until i get a new one
My ram lets me do the impossible
At least if nothing in my life goes wrong again lol
I'm def thinking of upgrading to 32gb, my laptop's great for what I need but the RAM gets limiting in some stuff
coughs in After Effects
can someone help how do i get out of afk mode
Open the radial menu by holding the menu button, then disable AFK detection in the settings there o:
In desktop mode press the end button
32 is overkill (I have 32 gigs)
I think in desktop mode it's R? might be wrong on that
In desktop there is no afk detection but a keybind
I mean for the radial menu, whoop
It's the end button or whatever it is called in english layout
Esc(ape)
does anyone know a good vr headset i can buy?
depends on your budget and what you want out of the headset (Full-body tracking, wireless, wired, etc)
also inside-out tracking vs outside-in
budget is the important part then we can decide everything else
General recommendation is probably going to be the Quest 2, with a link cable or Virtual Desktop if your computer's VR capable, or the Index if you have the money
If you have lots of money (for example 3000 dollars) then go Index with full body and all that fancy stuff. If around 300 dollars then Quest.
also tested, R opens the radial menu in desktop on QWERTY layouts o:
Index with FBT would be around ~$1300 (in the US) starting, assuming you already have a VR capable computer yeah
why the hell is there a website that lets you rip other's public and private avatars?
Index full kit without full body alone is already 1300€ for me
afaik that was taken down already
nonononono there's another
don't call it out here - send as much information as you have to #vrchat-support if you want to report it
right-
Don't mention any names
Oh that yeah well, nothing can be done about these really unfortunately.
they likely know about it already, to be fair
My avatars are also listed there but they don't have my assets
That specific website is known for a while, but you can't exactly just shut down a website.
Even goverments have it hard with that.
ik! I was assuming they already knew about the website but reporting a new one through support seemed like a good option
def can't just bonk their website offline unfortunately
28 vrchat team is online
thats the most ive seen online i think ever, nice.
whoa o:
they have my private avatars there like my neo that i built by scratch
Oh actually they have one of my avatars to download now rip
imagine building from scratch
@vocal shard not the correct question to ask
@vocal shard No
@rapid pawn no name menitoning, not shorted either
But you are correct with the image part.
Point still stands
They didn't had the pic only, was able to download the file of my avatar
rule 13
That's not a feature they're created yet on that site
ye no talking about that kinda stuff pls
Well i got a file that exactly matches the size of my avatar
what file was that and was it raw fbx or something that you could unpack
becuase there might be bad problem
it's something with vrca at the ending
There's a way to convert. I've seen it before.
Did you know, you that everyone downloads that package when they are in a lobby with you, because that's what VRChat needs to display you.
Hency why it is accessible by everyone. (It has to be.)
The best you can do is not talk about any such place as that website anywhere and keep interest minimal.
There is noting that can be done to the website it self.
It's nearly impossible to shut down websites. (Else all the movie websites and such would be gone in a breeze)
^
As long as you're rendering the avatar on your graphics card, the file is rippable to some extent unfortunately, no amount of 'encryption' will help that
VRChat always could move to Stadia though /s
additionally everything they post is technically all accessible within vrchat
imagine
input lag (especially in VR) go brrr
400 ping on the headset's tracking lmao
dear lord
Well at least you can't rip avatars anymore
lmao
you also dont need a powerfull PC anymore then 
They actually would defeat two things through that. Modding and ripping.
can i get help with finding a vr headset?
VR Market Problems Solved by Stadia
depends on your budget and what you want out of the headset! o:
Uhhh
about 500 dolars
You guys seeing this?
dollars*
mmh
HTC: It's your move.
htc vive seemingly came back out of nowhere with that tweet lol
There would need to be some sort of authentication layer on top of the API
why is my fbt calibrationset to legacy when i have no launch options set
For a new VR headset, I'd probably recommend the Oculus Quest 2 with a link cable if your computer's VR capable (either official or unofficial)
They then tweeted out. What would you do with 70 % more power.
The Cosmos series is not even yet fixxed and working properly
:eyesshaking:
ok thx so much
If you want full-body tracking for around that price, a second-hand Vive might be a good option since it comes with the lighthouses already - otherwise, Quest 2 c:
I'd not trust any HTC without any actual hardware beeing done and tested by independant third party
Can I get help with my username and my password I forgot them
also yus avoid the Cosmos like the plague lol
VR is going strong this year.
sorry but what is body tracking?
I like how atleast my avatar stays FBT calibrated between worlds.
contact vrchat support
We got Tundra Trackers at the end of this month.
HTC Vive teasing a new product.
DecaGear VR coming out in May.
Full-body tracking uses Vive trackers (or Tundra trackers) to track your hips and legs, alongside the normal hands and head
Wait I forgot what gmail I putted in my account
if you forgot what email you used then uhh
well then
It can also be the biggest let down ever.
And Valve may be coming out with the Index 2.
ok but without full body tracking how do i then walk?
yeah this year is a massive year for vr so far
Wait will it auto save?
There's also other solutions like Kinect, owotrackers, Apriltrackers, etc
Walking is done through the controller's analog stick or touchpad normally, regardless of whether or not you have FBT
Oh and Apple is also teasing a VR Headset (but it's apple, it's an expensive paperweight)
if you let it, probably.\
Hmmm
VR got big but my money not 😞
ok but does quest 2 have fbt
no
Not officially no, though you can make it work with some software shenanigans
I might buy the Index Controllers today.
Ima try to go get my account back or make a new one
Directly using a Vive or Index from the start is less painful lol
ok but thanks for the help!
I've never had a problem with them o:
I would too if i would have them
the Index controllers actually get uncomfortable with me after a while, specifically the backhand strap
I got something so i can wear my Quest controllers like Index controllers lol
There pretty much isn't a reason to buy the Rift S over the Quest - also you don't need full-body tracking for VR or anything, it's more of a luxury
The Rift S also doesn't use the same lighthouses as the Vive or Index does though, so I'd assume not?
I really like the hand straps, I just hate the ergonomics
but if quest 2 doesnt have fbt how am i supposed to walk
Again, done though the analog sticks or touchpads, depending on your headset
Now that i can wear my Oculus controllers like an Index controller i also removed that wrist strap cause not needed anymore.
You don't walk irl to walk ingame lol (though you can with Natural Locomotion)
Move the analog stick forward, and you walk forward, etc
ok thanks
I'd also note that the Quest 2 is a standalone VR headset, and so doesn't require a VR capable computer - if you used a link cable or Virtual Desktop though, your computer would need to be VR capable
you also need a Facebook account to use the Quest, as well
Mmh i kinda miss being able to see who blocked me and other stuff but VRChat blocked that endpoint recently, but idk maybe better that way.
hello
I apparently had 1,107 people's avatars hidden last time I checked lol
thats a lot
so im tryna find the character that has the tiny spider, anyone know where to find
Not your moderations. Moderations against one self.
cheers
ah o:
Could see until today that person xx hid/muted/blocked/showed me
But that endpoint got disabled
Now you just get 404: "The endpoint you're looking for is not implemented by our system."
today ill be just exploding in vr obivously
Just found this. You wot
what of we exploded
boom
don't give them ideas
Well, maybe do give them ideas?
The ideas would suck overall, but it would give them more to regret when it gets so bad people actually start dropping off the game because the quality of life has just decreased so much
Everyone sure hopes that's how it will actually turn out.
But that will only be seen once it's there.
whats the deal with people ripping people avatars at all
why they do that and why its so bad? I know its rude but why its so bad?
I am asking for real
because it requires a client mod to do so and those are against tos
Well... and because you're stealing (often personal) content that belongs to other people and you have not right's for. 
Not true if you have the avatar Id you can get it. No client mods. Not that anyone should be ripping
Don't have to worry about ripping if you never go to public areas. ;3
Not true
Not true
People can get your avatars through API tools
And logs
Unless your model is 100% from scratch then ripping is technically not theft as you are editing someone else's work which is reproducable
Still sucks though if someone takes your hard work
True
And you can't rip privated avatars iirc.
not necessarily true
vroid avatars for example are more or less your exclusive property i think, regardless of the fact they were made using a base
You can if you somehow get the ID which can still be obtained In logs
It's very bad. Vrc has no security for this stuff
private avatars can definitely be ripped
otherwise it wouldn't be a problem
because public avatars... can just be cloned, anyways
A lot of the time people want animations or assets so they'll just rip. It's self explanatory why it's bad
You can rip private avatars sadly
I mean, i don't made my base myself but i still would be pissed if someone rips my avatar because i put like 50 hours in editing now and i'm still not done.
there are a few reasons people steal
sometimes you just want what someone else has
other times you go sell it on a black market
Yeah, i just saw that some of my avatars are on some website where people can buy them which i am finding very annoying rn
oh
sometimes websites put up fake listings
Since 80% of the models in this game use a TDA or MMD base it technically isn't your original work which is why it's hard to dmca them
after all why go to the trouble of ripping an avatar to resell it when you could sell a lie instead
idk if i can dmca my models because like
i have no official documentation or anything
Also it's a rip off because the files are listed in the api but we should move on since rule 13 is a thing
i made them from scratch but the only ownership i hold over them is having the blender files on my hard drive
Stadia was mentioned earlier in reference to safeguarding assets and adding another layer of anti-hack. Apparently latency is an issue?
stadia is basically streaming the game from a different pc
which is why it's the only way to really protect.
I've always liked the concept of Stadia, but I've never actually tried it to see if it was good
Streaming from another pc doesn't always mean it's safe
google pulled the brakes on it so probably not very
Shadow for example
Terraria was going to be on Google stadia until Google locked the developers account for no reason
I was trying to log back into my vrchat account but I forgot it
They tried to market it as something like a console alternative instead of making it like a infrastructure thing
I heard about the Terrarria thing, no idea why MS would do that.
But a streaming the rendered video to a client and only accepting controls limits the stuff end users can rip and modify.
Oh well, maybe something better will come up
Guys is there anyway to get my account back if I don’t know my user or my password or my gmail?! On there?!
anyone here able to tell me how to hook up a bhaptics suit to vrchat?
Unless you remember your gmail no
I think I know it but I’m not too sure
I sent it to reset my password and I got no message of it
if you don't know ANYTHING about your account i don't know what to tell ya
and i'm curious how you got into that situation
hm
I’m gonna go look for it
well i have a horrible memory and usually i can remember either the email i use or the username i used
If it’s not here I’m gonna scream in my house
is your username a random number sequence or smth
No crodus prophet, only crodus
username is crodus
What avatar is it?
headcrab zombie
can someone dm me the names of some good vr headsets please
The username is crodus
alright
No caps
And?
@vocal shard 2 questions, what's your budget and how good (as in actual specs) is your pc
Wym and
that name...
What else would there be that you need
people can't tell you anything other than your username
Alright
I can't get your password tf
otherwise the system wouldn't be very secure would it
What about the mods? Can they get into my password?
No
They can reset it but you need your email
Hmmm
Alright
I’m sure i sent the right one
But I have others
I’m gonna see if I can log in
I got in it!!!
sup ppl
is there something wrong with the API right now?
When I try to make an account I get an error
Everything is correct too
You can check on Fiverr perhaps, as an option for you.
Hello So i uh need to erm contact staff team stat..
About a modder...
Same thing, get video evidence and send em your latest log files
Nvm my recording failed. 😦 but I have a whitness
I was logged out for some reason, fully thought I was somehow banned.
You have to have a recording
do you have a usb stick I can shove into my skull?
Why even report modders, they are already such a big mass
The only way to contact staff about these sorts of things are through #moderation-reports. They will not discuss through discord.
Because he was literally stealing my avatars and saying he was my friend... I do not even remember him
he probably only force cloned it fortunately and didnt take the files
Thanks
just take a video, block report and leave
Ight 😄
make sure the video got something solid on them
The evidence needs to be identifying, and capture bad actions in play.
Why wasn't your avatar private if you didn't want people copying
its called force clone genie as long as it isnt privated they can clone it
Ah
nevermind then magic magic
wait
do you own the avatar files and upload it yourself?
I dont remember I have STML I had a stroke in 2019 affecting my memory majorly
And not that I know of its my buddies that he gave to me
you would know if its private since you have to upload the avatar yourself as pub or priv
so no it isnt private
I was with someone a few days ago that was forced cloned
ion if you can actually clone a private avatar and use it in that given session but you could def rip the files
Does anyone know how to get into Japanese Worlds?
Since a JP World just released I want to try out but I can't read JP too well.
I've gotten into one by following a portal dropped s
hello
Found it.
Why would you, is the better question
Yes, geting a Quest 2 ofc, not a quest 1.
If rift s was up for 200 sure
my friends vr chat is just constantly spinning
[23:32]
how dose he fix it?
Bro I been doing my email verify for over maybe a half a hour or a few mins
What is wrong i verifyed it
Left joystick still broken in vrc
Between the Rift S and Quest 2, I'd recommend the Q2 for a powerful computer (or any VR-capable computer) - though if the price or wired-ness isn't a problem, I'd probably recommend an Index over both
It's a multi-tier system base on wants
...
Ok let me put i tin english
Pricewise -> Quest -> Rift -> Index
Quality -> index -> rift -> quest

Oh aight
Choo choo.
survers still down for me

Avatar world bugged out, and loading hung on 100% on an attempted rejoin, with my avatar not loading.
Some kind of maintenance? Seemed to happen exactly at 7:00

Servers down?
They are down for me
Dont change avatars or change worlds
https://downdetector.com/status/vrchat/ - The spicy graph spike.
I wonder if it will go from single to triple in short time.
Servers down
It'll go up
Able to load back into home world on a reboot.
pain, agony even
sip This is just a normal night.
And avatar loading again.
I just keep failing to authenticate despite restarting 3 times. Pain

@patent python Im getting like 100 ping, that bad?
Not really
All I did was join a server with 20 people
Things should be resolved momentarily
And I’m only getting 30 fps with a Ryzen mobile cpu
oof
I have graphics built in
Yeah igpus = built in graphics suck
It’s not bad for light stuff
whats the exact model
3500U
want to do comparisons
.
oh neat another market to look at
loool
not back, avatar not loading
How do I get my custom avatar into the game
So oddly enough, Both VRChat servers and my home internet went out. 🤔
dam
Sure
@small wing the illuminatii finna come in your crib, its a sign-
VRC servers went out? That explains the weird auth cookie errors from the API.
Jokes on u I am the illuminati
What does everyone have here, 10900k’s with 3090s?
wait dawg thats a cpu
@patent python intel berk
It’s a mobile Ryzen 5
yeye whats your gpu
I could dream on... I'm not so far behind CPU though (10700k/3070)
How long does it normally take for Community Labs to go public because I've had a basic avatar world with like a dozen avatars in it (all works low file size no fps tanking etc) for like. 5 months.
The review rate on these things is abysmally slow I guess?
RX Vega 8
Community Labs are weird... I heard there have been odd cases of dead worlds going public quickly.
tougghhh that needs an upgrade
It can be permanent. I have a world released on an alt account almost 2 years old that is still labs despite thousands of visits.
Well, perceptually permanent.
It does beat my hp stream’s intel hd graphics
Thats bad lmao. Also @golden violet retry a few times, its slow but after several attempts it Auth'ed me
avatarsnot loadingfor anyone?
Servers have been chugging for over a week now. Devs are working on it. Unforeseen strain + DDoS'ing.
I’m having that problem too @icy robin
Just stick with it, they trying.
First I have heard of a reason for it.
Now it says failed to authenticate with real-time servers
what are the bot commands?
yepyep, we have eyes on the authentication issues
Player population has been peaking hard recently.
Which is a good thing, just means rough times until the tech catches up.
friday night with 30k people on
!online
There are 30661 users in VRChat currently
content creators are really boosting this game again
quest users hittin servers hard
wym
this game is pure creator content
mr beasts vid, i assume.
The ripper store folks seems to have a mountain of my models
gotta love the "failed to authenticate with realtime servers"
very awesome
people like splez and icee vr are getting lots of kids to play
6,3k watchers on twitch. Not a lot.
it more from tiktok
I don't use tiktok
make a report in #moderation-reports with solid evidence no point in talking about it here
are we just gonna forget about mully and joshdub and how many kids THEY bring in?
SteamCharts tracks with a different method so the numbers don't match perfectly but for reference, the 2017 Peak with the knuckles meme etc shows as 20k players. VRChat according to the SteamCharts system which again tracks differently has put us at over 20k consistently since July last year.
look at quest 2 percentage for steamvr
So the game has been growing and staying big for like 8 months now.
yeah quest 2's the dominating headset in steamvr
Urgh
% been goinf up drastically
Oculus updated
Steamcharts in 2017 was accurate
!online
it stopped being accurate as soon as we shipped on quest
There are 29963 users in VRChat currently
🙂
i joined a world yesterday and a majority of the people there were kids on desktop or quest
yee that too.
ohh
the bot on the sidebar is the most accurate count y'all have
Blackcat is always full of kids
Yeahhhhh
yeah
it poops on my fps though
Or the API call directly
My numbers were mostly just to give an idea of how large it is in rough strokes. It's been consistently outperforming the meme mega peak for months.
its fixed now- avatars load
yay
I get plenty good lobbies in black cat ion why everyone else gets such bad luck
Midnight Rooftop 👌
i get a mixture of good and bad instances in black cat
Some kid came up to me to ask if I wanted to participate in chicken n ball torture (the nsfw stuff)
I was severely questioning what the fuck
black cat is such a toxic world..
Anyone elses avatars not uploading?
I mean, not much they can do about it. I saw others were discussing it.
Failed to authwnticate with real time server
well you cant really be passive in black cat
i joined an avatar world and a kid started screming at me
like a 10 year old full yelling
domt go in quest world men
fr
Clockwork
you sound like you come from them LMAO
i dont anymore its too weird
switching avatars works now
Hope these weekly issues slow down soon, makes running events on friday night pretty hard
Luv u tupper
tupperware
Lmao
how do i make vr chaat less laggy
Be in an instance with optimized people or just an optimized world
:/
run it VRLow instead of VRHigh
how?
So being alone usually as there are almost no instances that meet these requirements lol
while opening vrchat hold down left shift and a thing should open up beforehand with settings
Yeah, it's sad that people don't optimize their avatars, its not even hard
hold it before you hit open
kk
like, i have dynamic bones and features and everything and its still Green
reeee
I need to see this
oooh
Ok i didn't manage that but also kinda hard if you got particles and stuff
tysm k/d
yw
My model alone without anything added in unity is already medium
Thats not bad
Oh shit i forgot to get my black rock shooter movel brb
I gotta go buy that for the giant machien gun
I cant play now till end of week unf
I'll join in a few minutes too. My PC is installing a windows update.
mean while it has over 2.2million avatars and nothing is being done so 🤷
the rest of the chat can and do tho lol
Managing 2.2million of anything isnt exactly easy
They are doing better than I thought LMAO
the fact they are not selling it for money is why they are getting away with it
the game or?
the avatars

you could still buy rip and steal paid avatar assets
What’s up guys 🤧
yike
And why would you need to know that
I mean if its a "hacker network" they will just have 1 person buy it and thats enough for everyone
They just bruteforce ids and save the thumbnails to their server, its nothing crazy really, they just flex with the sheer amount of thumbnails they collected, nothing to worry about tbh
Cause I won't be uploading models, I'll just be collecting htem
cause if the ripper site had a monetary way of buying the ripped avatars... i'd be telling the japanese community to bring that website to its knees cause they love to do their copyright stuff
It's great for mini projects to test with my unreal engine experience.
Hey so, I found someone that ripped/stole one of my public models. I have their username right here and I don’t know what do to. I already reported them but I need them to take down the model, what should I do?
Like
I don't think VRChat avatars designed for unity will open in unreal
They're using it and you uploaded it?
There's a way to fix that while also reporting dit
That probably won't help much as they can just infinitely re-upload
make a manual report in #moderation-reports with solid evidence
No no, like they ripped it and uploaded it to their account
O h
Alright one moment.
That's a yikes, yeah, go take that to them
you can get their account taken down but they will always have the assets
Nothing can save you from that
^ Yep you lost 'rights' unless you got the legal copy or some shit
They can ironically sell it.
If an avatar got ripped once you're done. Can't undo it and it'll stay online for everyone forever
Mmm depenvs.
you could also put trap sdks and shit but dont let VRChat devs know
That's if they put it out.
I mean, that's everywhere on the internet, if you upload something it can always be ripped somehow, its just data in general
you can pirate pretty much any tv show or movie that has been out for a week
that isnt too obscure
You just can't do anything against it. If your avatar got stolen then you've to deal with it unfortunately.
Hmmm. Interesting.
your best bet is putting malicious files into your own avatars willingly as a trap for rippers (bad idea)
That.. is not a good idea
But that could get yourself banned
No no they have a point.
not just taking any sdk login stealer thats not how it works
but how would they know??
Because I'd see you making these posts here. 
good question
Wee you're an amateur at realizing how shitty the system is
Well you do have a point
@vocal shard you still there? I'm getting on soon. PC finally starting up and finished updating.
i uh
People can't tell if you have nsfw avatars. That's the baseline.
id rather take a ban than let someone rip my avatar
i just logged off
If we get past that, then we can get concerned.
You have no choice anyway crooked.
You never know if soemone rips it, cause it saves the file to their computer, not copies it
Here's how I can avoid people ripping my avatars
- My avatar is not anime
- My avatar is not furry
- My avatar is just not attractive at all
So the next time you see that person is months-year later lol
...That's the most ironic statement.
make muk
I mostly seen people ripping just
Anime
i dont even play vrc anymore so it doesnt matter too much
Here's the best way you can also avoid having people rip your avatars
- Don't upload avatars.
- Don't upload avatars
- Don't play vrc
- ...
- Profit
- Don't exist
Reverse big bang
- Kill y- oh wait. Anyways.
edgelord over here
I mean killing your rippers may put one less ripper in the world.
Go back to the time when we're still fishes trying to walk on land for the first time and tell those fuckers to get back into the water
I'm more of a inspiration if anything.
:chew:
I have to give this line seemingly weekly, but: if we could create a system that allowed you to view an asset that sat on your computer without letting you have access to that asset, we would stop making VRChat and sell the technology to the government or something, because that's an example of bulletproof view-only access encryption or something
shorter version: we can make ripping harder but can't stop it
vrchat borked still, cant see friend online in vrchat despite clearly being online
making it harder would stop 90% of the people doing it
I know a way to stop ripping entirely
Just don't have avatars
Remove every single avatar from the game
and, as always, the same joke: there is one way to make ripping impossible, and that's to make vrchat a Stadia exclusive
Why dont you just make it a !something command so you don't have to re-type it everytime?
Lol
Have everybody be the 2014 VRChat hipster Jesus again
show me that
funny enough, no, making something harder sometimes has the inverse effect
tangentially related is the streissand effect
Making it harder to get bitcoins made 90% of people want it more
People are creative
There's your example mate.
Especially creative if it's about bypassing restrictions
If you give people a challenge, you only make hackers get more experience honestly.
well bitcoin is different but yeah
its more like leaving $100 sitting on the side of the street vs having it in a bank vault
anyone know any cool worlds pm me
Just remove Avatar uploading from the game in general and have everybody be the default 2014 Avatar as seen in this video https://youtu.be/cnaRtUGdV6A
Oof
ez 😎
why when sometimes i try to load into a world it gets stuck at 100
how can i fix that
Unity package loader going brrr
Auth still stuck at a big mess xD
If I might input. I think it might also have something to do with the fact that some people want what they aren't suppose to have.
Maybe
banning drugs is a closer analogy
Nobody can rip the two trillion poly anime cat girl avatar from another user
If there is no two trillion poly cat girl avatar
Yo drugs are a total other issue.
He's got a point though
Some people jst wanna fucking chill,they aren't even criminals or irresponsible.
probably shouldnt of mentioned that uh ohh
Hi isn't talking about drugs not allowed here
no rant please
Unfortunately it only really takes a handful of people who are quite proficient to make these tools, then they're download by a whole tonne of script kids who have no idea how it works, but then run around with them shouting how "vrc security bad"
And thus roumors get spread
.. Oh that's right, they give teh software for free sometimes, right.
Yikes
It's the same with cybercrime though, saying "This firewall is impregnable" will just make the hackers try harder
I remember minecraft days using a cheat client.
Well, technically Unitys Security is bad on that point
Lmao that was fun shit on pvp.
but then again, like tupper said
Would art theft be a comparable analogy?
Art theft is theft which is a crime
Yes, stealing is a crime
In other words the sky is blue
Plagerism is also very bad
Yeah sorry I should have restated, I mean online art plagiarism.
Yes.
It's the equivalent of submitting your plagiarized art to a school assignment or some shit, lets put it that way
THe school will ban you for stealing someone's work, even though you 'keep' the artwork
That's a good analogy.
Lets go with that, it seems to suit best.
I'm heading out. Going online in VRChat now.
peace
Have fun
alr cya
I can only get on at like 11pm.
It sucks I got 4 hours to burn still while helping around the house.
I found someone with a skin thats the perf blocked robot and they let me copy it so now I’m in a sorta good mood 
It's super chill and has a very nice atmosphere.
Bamboo temple, or another one?
What is it?
https://streamable.com/hr8uox @vocal shard
Oh.
This came out just yesterday.
Not Bamboo Temple. Lol.
if there is an asset on the unity store that says Version 5.4.0 or higher required, but it comes up when I do a version limit search to 2018.x, I assume it will be compatable? It seems Unity went from straight version numbers to year.version at some point
how do you make your own avatars?
that avatar looks nice
?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.

i wish i had the tenacity to start making higher poly models
but uv unwrapping them scares me too much
I made it italicized to emphasize that it was a joke xD.
I know it is not bamboo temple.
i know that i have to be trusted and stuff but like how do i make them
thats not really something you can answer in a paragraph in discord
google will be your friend
lol
depends what you mean by "make"
Anyone else having issues uploading avatars?
vrchat says were sorry! something went wrong when try to join world, why??
because something went wrong when trying to join the world
vket music inv only ?
no any world
Try relaunching the game.
And/or try a cache clear. If either do not work, VRChat may just be having its time.
tried both. unluko
I get an error when trying to upload a new avatar
same here
hihihihi
Ahoy-hoy.
ctrl - f doesn't work in blender it's so annoying
i got 26 meshes lol
i dont want help i just felt like i should say something after saying hi
Trying to join off friends but when I load into the world they're not there
does anyone know why quests users can't have the camera? is it the limitations to being able to save the pictures to the headset?
Finally uploaded the avatar but not it shows up as an error, it took at least 5 minutes for it to finally show up on my avatars list
but it doesn't work 😦
did you upload it to the right platform?
I've uploaded around 100 avatars im pretty sure i did
yeah, same thing here :/ it just keeps appearing and disappering?
I had that issue earlier when uploading. I just re-uploaded and it worked
think the servers are just wonky tonight
maybe
servers glitchy as per usual
yeah nothing new lmfao
Standard weekend ffor VRChat
With how often it happens, you'd think theyd try to fix it
But y'know
well it seems to be happening more often after new years
servers having a stroke is just normal now
Yep, seems to happen every weekend now
Really annoying when 100% of your socialising comes from VRC due to covid
Has anyone seeing somone connecting quest to pc and theres still quest on their head but there actually in pc world?
What is there to do on vrchat apart from bathe with the homies?
bathe with strangers
^
Yep
No strangers wanna bathe with me, I’m too cool
I think he understands that, but wouldnt it show you as a pc user if you're running a link
It does for my friend
It depends, regardless of whether you use oculus link/ virtual desktop or not, if you dont merge your oculus account with an acftualo vrc accounjt, you'll have numbers in your n ame
Apolgoies for typo's, I am very drunk rn
Oh I never knew that's why people have numbers in their name
People with numbers in their name are steam/oculus accounts that haven't merged into an actual VRC account yet
This is vrchat related, no need to divert to another channel
cant pic jhere
anyone having issue loading to worlds?
nope
[Insert perhaps image]
I see that l, it doesn't matter whether they are pc or quest, they use the same account, they cna remove the numbers and choose a custom username by merging their oculus/steam account with an actual VRC account
im havin trouble with getting the sdk to work on unity so
kk
having trouble loading worlds, also can't sign in on the website
it says : Session- is running a version 5‚ but the database version is 6
I think everything's starting to go down, I can't even log in to VRC right now
So I'm not the only one having connection problems rn?
dead as usual
Yeah, I think something might be going down on VRC's side of things
once online players goes over 30k servers die
!online
There are 34927 users in VRChat currently
wait wait can nobody play or is it me o~o
Every Single Weekend

I love trying to log in only for this broken ass game to freak out

i just wanna test models scree
Sega did great with the DreamCast, right?
VRChat 06
ayyyy

Why does my cursor go away when I hover over worlds?
im having trouble getting vrchat to run in vr mode
I have oculus link connected and virtual desktop
By the way, question not related to the current problems(since this issue I am pretty sure is due to bad network in my VR room): Is the "it just works," line that plays whenever I lose connection on Quest from VRChat or from the Quest?
yeah I enabled oculus link
link bad
Why is my cursor not able to work when I hover over certain things in the menu?
vd good!
in vr or desk
Desktop
alt tab back into game
Not working
make sure ur not to close to a wall or object or mirror
Do you perhaps have a controller plugged in?
May sound odd, but such a simple thing can cause jank.
EPIC
And also why do I keep timing out?
servers kill
dont worry about it there working on it
just a pain when your friends jump to another world and you are just a second too slow and servers die
hi, is anyone here who likes to chat with me ? bc i'm bored haha
Vrchat has made me realize how ugly I am irl
hey anyone wont to play
i only play with Wendy's

I'm also a mute person in vrchat because my voice is high af at 15

It's getting deeper but still
Anyone else having problems with their vrchat where they vrchat is saying your in a world to your friends but your not in that world

anyone else having issues with their friends list
Someone else was
hmm
I dont think I am...
I always have that kind of issues
Yes more
bluh,, so tiring
lol welp I can't accept this friend request, which means I can't rejoin the people I was just hanging with after my game crashed
dude this is the second to third time in the past two weeks and its only getting worse
whats even the deal, like are they trying to fix their game to make it better is that why it keeps dying like this lol
yeah their servers are dumping every other day. It's been pretty bad lately, but who knows what the problem could be
i sincerely hope theyre working on making their game better and thats why its so bad lately
Servers go brrr again?
yes
made 10 mil in 2019 btw
i jsut tried to join a friend and it wont deload the previous world
I can join stuff I just can’t join friends anymore
I was able to get on just now on Quest
Save the name, you can search for them later if needed. It may of worked though, and will display on server stabilization again.
I had that issues with two fellows of mine where friending went berserk but we ended up friends in the end.
were literally having issues every 2 days now like this is an alpha early acces ;]
lol
This is like a couple months back where if the servers were having issues you couldn't change avatar/world or your player would be the loading diamond forever
good ol days
there is something wrong with loading world 🤔
yes
I still have the friend request because the servers won't recognize when I accept it, so hopefully it'll just be there for me when they fix the server issues
Hopefully. Save the name though--You can search users and send a request that way too.
oop, server just recognized my accept now
Bro there was 3.2k people on the black cat just a second ago
is vrchat down?
yep
yes
Servers are dying but not 100% down yet
The graph is spiking again.
