A PC/Quest supported avatar
so thats what the fallbackAvatar object is, was wondering about that lol
honestly the new avatar rating is probably gonna keep me from joining public worlds even more, it's mostly an issue with people not optimizing the amount of materials and shaders they use. Catering to quest users is also a bit questionable in this VRC-Elitist environment where a majority of long-term active users uses PC-VR with additional hardware like FBT
I want you to imagine an announcement for servers to be fixed this week and this is the only update from any of the devs while still having a horrible audio bug issue and server issues on the weekend. Yay I can see an avatar when not linked on my quest but damn what are you saying I got that audio bug for the 5th time in an hr
Yeah, but the new announcement says that they are adding the ability to have a fallback avatar
not a quest compatible version of your avatar
it's a completely different avatar that shows when you are in a PC only avatar
Its basically a system that replaces the robot with a Quest compatible avatar
Of your choosing
I think the idea here is that robots are very unappealing to look at.
thats not what i mean, in the api months before, there is was an api object called fallbackAvatar
That announcement is dope
yes
also, porting avatars I like to use (VRoid) to Quest is a pain because of the lack of cutout ability of the hardware.
Huh cool
they have been planning this for ages
god dang I didn't know
who thought it would be a good idea to force avatar creators into making shittier avatars with half the polygon count or just straight up removing them? i assumed when i started reading it was gonna be like "and we will help them make it poor" but no they just remove the fckn world from search
it was the same with vrc+ user icons
devs keep breaking the game what else is new
Another new thing is I had a hot pocket for dinner. 😄

ahh yes this is def me when Perf Blocked
juicy
Porting an avatar to Quest can be easy or impossible, depending on the details. Some avatars have an impossible amount of polys to decimate. Some rely on transparency. etc
more whitelisted unity components when?
i dunno. not my area m8
Poor performing avatars in PC VRC are a big reason frame rates drop.. the CPU get's overloaded trying to do all the physics calculations.. and if you limit dynamic bone usage, sometimes weird stuff happens (like tails sticking straight up). There should be a way to authors to see what their avatars look like with limited dynamic mode turned on in the SDK for testing.
it was hot pocket for dinner tonight, but some day when im finally successful, it will be two hot pocket
They don't have much of a choice. They're limited by what the stand-alone Quest is capable of. And "shittier avatar" creation for a specific platform is just part of the job of a 3D artist.
@novel halo alot of that is completly reliant on the avatar creator
Fortunately dynamic bones are easy to deal with.
How much would transparents affect quest users if they were allowed
Quest perf rank change is really nice, had some avatar of mine i wanted to work on but they were at the limit already so was holding off.
hey guys, was wondering if someone could help me with my oculas rift s headset? not loading etc and im dying to get on vrchat
if our client engineers worked on the servers, our server engineers would probably murder them
(and vice versa)
they are different people
whats the endpoint just throwing 503 errors?
What do you mean?
api related question
Yes, I understood that, which endpoint. I'm not seeing any 503 errors.
Apparently it's just "too hard" with the limited hardware, from what I'm reading.
thats why im asking lol
shoutout to vrchat just like removing quest avatars that are very poor lol
pog
can you guys just start banning kids please Jesus Christ
^^^^^
I keep all visitors muted because of it
they will if its blantantly obvious they are under 13 and you have recordings of and sent it in #moderation-reports
fax, quest kids just come up while im vibin and break the fucking sound barrier in my ear
that moment when you load into a public black cat and it's literally a daycare center
yeah let me just whip out OBS for every kid I hear
sketchy ngl
you want moderators roaming popular lobbies?
god last night i had a kid that was 11 shouting slurs at me lmfao
I want there to be some sort of barrier
I rather not have watchdogs hovering over us
i remember when we used to have a request moderator button on the menu back in 2018 lol
are you serious how fckn obvious does it need to be literally go to any public murder or game world
Got any ideas that's not invasive?
oof yeah
Bump up game rating to 18+, put multiple warnings in
honestly ^^
Parents see the 13+ rating and think it’s ok
that won't do anything lol
if you want 18+ mate go to cvr while its still unpopular
parent's let their kids play CoD and GTA
lose like 65^ of players that make the game popular
i agree i think vrchat is 16+ at least more like 18+
"I can't see you, you are a robot noob"
vrchat already said they aint doing ids and shit
or let me pay for adult instances lmao
adult instances is interesting
ok that might work
i would actually pay for that lol
every instance should be adult instance
hmm adult instances that only let you enter if you verify your age on your profile 🤔
have an age verification that allows for 13+ and let world creators make it so that their worlds are either 13+, 16+, or 18+.
Non Quest instances 🤤
this is a 13+ game though so you cant expect it to be 18+
hell even 21+
oh yeah
I would love to see some more world admin controls. It'd be nice to be able to limit max users as an admin in Friends+ instances sometimes without picking a smaller world.
Make adult instances that you pay a one time access fee for. Vrchat gets money, I get to not hear children
did you know the actual player limit in words is double what is displayed on the world?
what about kids asking for mommies credit card?
their solution is to blackmail people into making avatars with less than 20k polygons, something which probably 95% or avatar makers don't know how to do even if they wanted to, or they remove the world from search
8yo Timmy steals his mom's credit card and pays the 1-time fee. Now what? :p
kid just asks their parent to pay
no, did not.. damn
Then they report the kid
it's +13 but the amount of 14~17 yo kids ive seen getting groomed is scary
just
have an age verification and also have it so that world creators can age lock their worlds
Like you guys say we should do for underage kids
also when they fixing quest only avatars, like why are they a thing
yep, they soft cap which allows player to join off friends but not from the worlds menu
Age verification would require an amazing amount of invasive personal information. Pretty sure no one's on board with that. I'm certainly not.
All the admins need to do is join an among us or muder 4 world and start banning away lmao. "Remember, no toothbrush"
Please
because android content cant just be instantly changed to pc
ay I mean you can try a canny post and see where it goes
like automatically
Hardware limitations. The Quest 2 is no where near the power of a proper VR-ready PC.
well i don't see why not, it is literally the exact same unity project
i said quest only, not pc only
Literally the number one complaint about this game is the kids
maybe instances where only known and trusted users can go?
android and pc are 2 different builds
you have to change build platform twice to have it compatible with both pc and quest
And staff is over here drooling about quest compatibility
android and pc arent the same thing
tbh idm age verification if it means i can be sure im around adults in an instance
I can see this maybe happening
they aren't, i've made quest compatible avatars, they come from the same unity project, only thing different is the shaders, which could likely very easily be ported to pc anyway
You know there's different people on the team with different specialties, right? That the folks responsible for feature updates aren't the same ones doing moderation? 😛
yeah its more plausible
Cross platform is objectively better in the industry I figure
kinda like how roblox worlds can deny newly made accounts up until a certain time
removing quest compatibility would literally get rid of 70-80% of the children on this game
Feature updates should be No Fucking Kids
quest compatibility is a good thing tho uwu
Quest runs on Android. The PC version of VRC runs on Windows.
Entirely different builds and inherently incompatible data, regardless of performance ranks.
its a unity problem, not a vrchat one :-/
So, on pc you can see quest avatars, but pc avatars can not be seen on quest, even they are well optimised... the thing here is why they did things like that.
you have to change the build settings it is different
and remove all the people who are broke and only got the quest
And if you’ve got poiyomi in your project and you change build type it will crash :)
and it would also get rid of 60% of the playerbase
d e s k t o p m o d e
And transparency doesn’t work, so you have to remake any sort of texture that uses transparency :)
what if they just dont have a pc
It's not that simple. You can't just copy the project and switch to build for android.
@cinder elk it does not matter wat project they come from
then why would they have a quest?
who said they have a good enough pc I know multiple people who have shit pcs and just have a quest for vrchat
computers are argueably more expensive
well u can, u change the build settings to android on that copy project
Like the blog post now just touched on, it's like sticking a Blu-Ray disc into a DVD drive and wondering why it doesn't work. Different formats. Is why we have to upload avatars twice on differents unity build in order to make an avatar quest compatible.
Quest is a lot cheaper than any desktop PC that's worth a damn.
To get into VR at a low cost.
Quest compatibility is fine, it’s the future or whatever. I just want no kids
except it would be built to windows, and, uh, you literally can, then change shaders to smt like standard
^
Please I will literally pay for adult only things
I want to stop having visitors muted on default
A $2000 PC for VR isn't a realistic purchase for many. $300 is.
then change the shaders and if needed optimise the meshes and shite
every fucking day children caling me slurs lmfao
easy, just let pc players play vrchat xD
i just go into pc only worlds
I like public worlds, I like meeting new people, but it is overran with kids
tbh i started out on quest only until i saved up enough to get a gud pc to run more stuff and handle PC VR
PC only
I feel like staff is sticking their heads into the sand when it comes to the kid issue
I know. What I'm saying is that this doesn't mean you're almost done once you change the build target.
its almost impossible to play during daytime
same here
i did have a pc before upgrading it for PCVR, it was just too weak to run vr.
Reject the black cat, RETURN TO PUG
True
THE PUG!!
playing since 2018, i miss no trust ranks, i miss full open mic nights and presentation rooms
miss the pug days
Ayy I love the black cat I get really lucky with not seeing kids
Hardly. It's a complicated topic without an easy solution. No company with any kind of internet presence has a fool-proof method for that, and we're a pretty unique case regardless. It's something we're working on.
And that's where it gets harder. That's the point. Not every avatar is some simple person in a casual outfit. Some are quite elaborate.
same, i had a laptop that couldnt handle PCVR, when i got it VR wasnt relevant for me yet and some of my friends have the same issue rn and wont upgrade their PC just for vrchat if they have the option of just playing on quest
At least if you guys say you’re working on it than alright
i just uploaded a robot saying please upgrade to vrc+ to see this avatar for quest users lmao
I mean they have a lot of fire to put out currently
We are, yes. 🙂 But it doesn't make much sense for us to say more than that until we have something more concrete. We'll let everyone know when we do 😄
Quest only worlds lmao
Funny.
jk
The black cat is probably the most poorly designed mainstream vrc world. Waaaay to big with waaaay too many mirrors scattered around and with a low player count. It's literally designed for antisocials to just sit in front of a mirror on mute
i got the idea from my friend rum ham
then don't go there?
maybe we could have options when reporting someone? like, LITERALLY A CHILD THAT SHOULDNT BE IN THIS GAME
ingame reports for the most part just affect trust
Imagine going to a public Black Cat.
Couldn't be me!
... And it's not. 🙂
oh, by the way, what with the vote to kick system?, like in among us is a completely trash, "not enough players"
we do. it's just that the in game report features are only available for user rank and up and they also only affect trust
Patently false, please don't spread misinformation.
easy, just go to private instances with friends to avoid kids
I want to meet new people though
my bad was under the wrong impression
that was useful
ik i was kind of joking a bit :c tho thats what i've been doing a lot recently
I think vote to kick is just sort of buggy, because when someone says they’re starting one against someone I only see the option pop up like 50% lol
votekicks like to break sometimes
Votekick staff for maximum luls
Probably related to the current social menu problems?
I'm not sure I've ever seen vote to kick work
@sharp rose you enjoy using fobs vbot ? 👀
how many votes do you even need?
@vocal shard wut
a friend of mine made the avatar ur in lol
Oh. Well if it's actually them, have em reach out. I want a custom one, and I like their designs.
i still think that maybe they could try doing new instance options where you can select the user ranks that can join
ye we have a whole server about them, we make alot of them
DM link pls
hia
i cant give u a link, but i can drop u my friends discord tag
jeez the quest 2 be getting all the love like--- why not let us go over 80 fps on the rift s huuuuhhhh?
is rift s even capable of over 80 fps?
rift s = poop
I like the stuff proposed in the blog post, regarding Quest avatars and the fallback system.
why raise poly limit of quest to 20k but limit fallbacks to 10k?
I don't own a Quest, nor have many friends on Quest, but the fallback system will probably motivate me to finally make a Quest compatible version of my avatar.
me no wanna use cringey default avatar
bye bye community
probably a way to promote well-performing quest avatars
The fallbacks are supposed to be an alternative for the Grey robot I think? So they're intended to be kept easier to run?
not as pervasive as requiring medium all around, but another way to push avatar creators to optimize better
the fall backs are what quest users are going to see instead of the grey robot
The slight increase in poly limits will be enough for me to get my avatar converted with a more reasonable amount of effort.
I'd still love to have some way to see the stats of public "Quest Compatible" avatars.
I don't see the point of limiting fallbacks more than normal quest avatars, seems contradictory to me. Like "we raised the limit on quest avatars so people are motivated to make more optimized ones but fallbacks have old limits"
Because when using them previously, I've had no idea what the avatar is costing people.
Whether it's entirely optimised, nicely re-worked, or perhaps a hellish mess of lazy decimation.
Is no way to know.
all this does for me is makes me not wanna make avatars quest compatible, i aint getting blackmailed by vrc to remove polygons or have my world removed from search
your loss, this is the last resort they didnt want
but nothing is worked so far, and if this doesnt work they said they will reconsider so
and the last resort they didn't have to do
there is so many resorts they were too lazy to try
like what
then im sure they are welcome to hear your suggestions in the canny 😄
i aint goin to the fuckn canny
well then they wont ever see or hear what you want
The lazy people are the ones who can't optimize their avatars within reasonable limits
lol this game is like watching a crippled rat trying to walk
even though 90% of them don't know how to because they don't even make the models themselves
I attach 100k polygon fbx on all my avatars @uncut steppe
very poor performance flex
I downloaded some free models that people gave away in some avatar creator discords and I shit you not there was cat ears that were 250k tris
trolled
a good addition to the 2 trillion poly catgirl
will quest players ever to be able to fly or have pc only avatars
its purpose is of course to lag the people without good pcs away from the mirror 😈
fly? probably. pc only avatars? no.
oh also i still think its pretty funny that quest only avatars exist too, wheres our fallback system for that smh
I just want fallbacks to have the 20k polylimit so I don't have to be a fucking toothbrush
@calm edge people flying is a 3rd party thing lol
what does that mean
yeah people flying is from a 3rd party software called OVR
oh
it's for steamvr
lmao\
just dont be a fucking toothbrush
playspace mover chads wya
right here
but ive seen desktop non vr users fly
then that's their avatar
theyre using clients
avatar or mods probably
lol
but quest users cant fly with flying avatars
also clients
sure, go make one @calm edge
the flying doesnt work
need physics colliders
pretty much nothing is quest compatible other than a basic rigged mesh
i have deep hatred for you people who hang out in invite only worlds
same
jfc
I'm not lol
i shit you not ive seen them once and never again
I hate orange status
will quest ever be able to play on pc worlds
orange status is the equivalent to invite only
orange status users are likely high-drama individuals
red status is "i'm erping go away"
@calm edge no
:(
most pc worlds would literally melt your quest
we are humans too you know :(
technically you could right now but the performance would be horrible, the reason its blocked 4 u is for your own sake
lmao what
ah yes i love not running in frames per second but instead seconds per frame
arent there like super cheap off brand link cables ?
yes
buy that
Technically you can't. Android Unity builds can never display on PC, and PC Unity builds can never display on Quest. A Quest 15 could be out in 10 years that's better than a 3080, and it still couldn't run any PC world
I wonder when we can start putting parts that run windows x86_64 in standalone headsets
"wow, where’d my frames go after i clicked ‘show avatar’ on that wolfboy?”
accurate
@vocal shard wtf were an endangered species please respect us
good
2 trillion polygons
what happens if i dont? 
the avatar itself is a shader
ill uhh fuckin uhh
penis toggle
ok
Where that message go
booba
It was there for like 1 frame 😂
Ngl, kinda excited for this update even though I am pc
Also his message was deleted because he used the e word
Wow
LOL
that answered my question
wait huh you mean the 3 lettered one?
ear?
11 fps bug being fixed = ❤️
Just join PC only worlds and/or block them on sight, problem solved
so when is the travis scott x post malone concert happening on here?
in 2 seconds
@vocal shard wait you didnt get invited?
no I just saw the ad on the roblox site
but sometimes i have 12 fps and my gpu is on 26% load, my cpu too and i have 32gb ram wich wasnt full
and its fucking anoying to play like that
I was busy playing adopt me
i-
That bug is fixed according to the open beta patch notes, Haxor
so its only on beta for now?
Yes
oh.... okay
I'm excited, going to be buying a vr ready pc to link soon.
can i use the beta and still see people with the release version?
sweet what the specs
Nope. Not with this build
oof
Not sure yet I have a budget of about 1,000 to 1,500. Should be plenty to get something nice.
Mid/high tier
im on a 1070 and still lagg on vrchat lol
Yeah at least a 1660 ti. I'm not sure about amd specks tho I'm intending to ask. Tho most high ends these days are 2080 ti's
have to keep max safety settings enabled to not lagg
Gnight everyone
i use a 1070 as well, it isn't very laggy; but that's probably because vrchat may be more cpu dependant.
My laptop can almost run it on 965m I have to lower resolution by half tho.
VRChat is really CPU dependent. On a 3080 and my framerate isn't affected even if I pump supersampling to 200% at 144hz. But most other games benefit really nicely from a GPU. 3060ti is probably a good balance of cost and power (my old 1070 still did OK if I kept my index at 80 hz, and did well with older headsets)
Vr chat isn't too heavy on cpu honestly an i3 later gen is enough for it. It's mostly graphics. Since users make the world's and avi's are not always well optimized.
Definitely depends on the headset you're getting, there's a big difference in hardware if you're doing CV1/Vive v. Index/Q2 90 hz / etc.
same with the super sampling
I am learning to make avi's for vr chat. I've been modeling almost 8 years now as a hobbiest.
Tho little unity and blender experience I use 3ds max.
how well does it convert from 3ds max to blender to unity?
Blender supports fbx.
oh my god my light just went out while i was painting my nails grrrr
I can export between them easily as well as dae format.
I heard scaling can be hard to pin down.
does that mean quest users can see my pc optimized avatars? XD
i wonder what there poly limits been upped to
Technically the quest isn't nearly as limited as people think most avis are in the 100k tri range on quest. Over the 7500 recommended limit
awe damn nvm
I think its just that people don't like how the avatars are getting perf blocked so easily
i just looked at it
It's sdk seems newer as well. It's android based instead of windows.
now on the beta it just has to be under 20k polys I believe to show up for quest users on default instead on 7500
I think that is a reasonable limit. And probably under 75k max tris with quest for optimization
It's usually physics and particals that are an issue for rendering tho
I started out modding super smash brothers brawl, it had some pretty tight constraints. I think 14k tris and under 4 mbs for it's models.
Quest seems so free to develope for after that xD
Crazy story: Girl in VRChat is starting to like me and I think is about to ask me to be her virtual bf
And I dont know wtf to do
be her virtual bf
if u like being around her then say yeah
just know that virtual relationships lead to nothing but sadness
although u might enjoy the time in between
virtual sadness
magic
u being her friend
Lmao.

Pog
that her?
who
the pogster wiggly wogstallion the legend himself
No?
yes u am
wha
???
No.
Never open your wallet or heart dummy.
your about to go on one special trip
...
mostly pain
anyone want to be my friend
no
pog
I've never gave her money or anything
She doesnt even know how much money I currently have saved
I'll call you senpai until your broke emotionally and financially
If you like.
lul
Anyone want to add me and get a group and pose for a picture?
Fuck
things are best learned by personal experience anyway
Gifs arent allowed
???
lets hope they live in the same nation
We do
She lives like the next state over
I'm in New York...
She's in Jersey
thats a stroke of luck for sure but are the spirit airline tickets cheap
I guess if hurting yourself makes the simulation more real, go ahead.
If you aint be flying spirit in the states to save ion what you be doing
I'm just gonna go draw
I had a friend who moved to michigan fly down here for 60 bucks round trip on spirit its insane even during covid
Thats the best thing you can do.
Find a wholesome girl who likes to doodle.
Maybe sign and people watch too.
hey who knows maybe this kid is lucky enough to have it work out
it happens
You make money selling art?
I also get allowance
I just draw whatever tf they want me to draw and then sell it to them
Oh it’s relaxed here.
I'm just doodling on procreate
I died.
so you know CoBruh well or you just find it funny to be not cobruh lol
Ask no more questions, tell no more lies.
Who’s CoBruh now.
💩
Shit?
CoBruh has befriended 1/4 of vrchat average active population
I heard that guy is a real asshat
I just stick to raves and drinking nights.
he had like 1k people added right?
Crashes people and rips peoples ideas
I talked to him in the early days dont remember him being an ass
Oh god, crasher.
he has like upwards of 7k now
wtf
😂
Ill have to roam black cats to find him again
Question.
why dont the vrchat discord not have a vc.
yeah?
Any of you have a thing where models get stuck at 0% when loading?
Because that is VRC
Yep.
This is discord
yeah sometimes it used to happen very often a few months back and it stopped but its coming back a bit now for me
It only happens to me for poor models but eh.
sometimes everybody is stuck on 0% and I’m talking to blue triangles.
^
Soon I might start making custom vrchat avatars
sneeze
Bless you.
Mods said it's hard to moderate a vc because there's over 100 thousand people here/Vrchat is the vc lmao.
if you already have the talent of art which you do you should
aww thanks
Blender is fun as shit to model in.
Anyway to fix it?
coughs up a lung
wish i had that or a script edditor my world is on hold till i can get 1
not that im aware of besides restarting the client
Just happens.
I been hearing alot about the world can I get a link?
idn how to link it here n its still private currentry this my layout so far if i can post it trees i know are huge idn how fix that but basment main n upper in works
nm hmm pic placcccce were
😮
Im not sure if I can join a link to a world if its private I wonder
probably not lol
lmk whenever you publish it to community labs Ill check it out
have you got some help from omega yet?
Raid shadow legends?
I didnt think that game was still kicking
Or party.
Party
noooo nooo help i wanted help on my world but idn its my idn say 1st but really um 7th now i think this the hardest 1
It is like among us but the entire game.
Pog.
amoung us is hosted in my world also that im proud of
I use to be so good at among us.
Then I drank too much.
Water.
Yeah
I think Diamond drank too much
and not water
Hey bless them. They actually make things
i cant drink i mean i had a glass wine a bit ago
your sentences are a little scrambled so im asking lol
dude im 18 been to hospital allready for like 3 beers my kidnys shut down,kids dont drink, i have the kidnys of a 30 yr old drunk i didnt think i drank much but explains alot
i have dislexia n ya i had a glass wine n i type fast
yeah no def dont drink if your kidneys or liver are that sensitive to 3 beers
not beer ewwy but mikes hared apple
hey does anyone use virtual desktop to play vrchat?
not anymore at aku
i bought that thinkin i needed it
but i used my link pluged it into a 2.0 usb rolled back my graphoics drivers n bamb im in vr
ok i gota go ya i know im lil messed upo now
what the fuck you taking g
Some friends of mine have had very good experiences with it. They recommended it to me
no hurt in trying vd before you buy a wire
you can refund it if you use it for less than 2 hours I believe
yeah i just had an issue with my controllers. all my other vr games work fine but when i launch vrchat I can't use my joysticks to move.
it only responds to my keyboard, i have no idea how i would fix that
Hmm that's strange. Not sure how to fix that.... Do you have any other usb devices that might interfere?
Maybe a game controller?
yeah I tried unplugging my keyboard and my controller still nothing
idk it's only with vrchat
all my other games work just fine
Is the afk detection kicking in?.... Ah. Never mind, you said the keyboard works...
yeah it responds to my keyboard
So am i not the only one getting the issue that you cant see your friends on the vrc tracker app at night/midnight (basis around 8pm-6am)
it's really weird
why do mirrors make me so laggy
i can look around in my vr headset but i can't interact with the environment
Mirrors basically clone the environment.
So if the world is terribly optimized, it's double so.
its literally cuts my fps in half
over 50% fps drop when theres a mirror in my vision
And you can't open the radial menu?
nope, nothing
i can open it with my keyboard but not my controllers
Sorry, fresh outta suggestions 😫
thats alright, i've been asking around and i haven't gotten anything
thats what cloning the ev means. double the stuff half the frames
well yeah you're rendering everything twice
So am i not the only one getting the issue that you cant see your friends on the vrc tracker app at night/midnight (basis around 8pm-6am)
same problem
I get this when I switch to full body mid play sometimes
i restart my pc now is working try to do the same
im getting like 50 fps in rlly crowded areas in vrchat on desktop, am i gonna struggle with vr ? lol
🤷 probably
ok yeah if your pc doesnt literally implode when trying to run vr i'll be impressed
@fiery dragon VRChat performance is highly variable.
wym
VRChat has performance issues on even the most powerful PC's so don't feel bad.
I get 90 at house alone
its just in a highly detailed map with a mirror and 20 poeple in front of it
and props and shit
double uploadign kinda a pain
I only make one quest compatible and use that when there's questers
@fiery dragon what are your avatar performance at?
where do i see that
you'll fit right in
the page where you see a 360 of your avatar. click the stats option below
My avatar is based off of vroid and mobile shaders fuck that big time since it hates transparents
I’m looking for an friend group to hang with
I can work around everything but the eyes im trying to figure out how to do do that
yeah the eyes needing to be cutout shaders are a big pain
I can make fake eyes with white backgrounds on flattened spheres thats as far as I can go
hey!!!
hope u all are fine!
im bored anyone wanna date?

E
that's a no from me kid
question
T_T
So I asked this earlier but I wanna double check, what's your average ping on VRChat and what's considered a 'normal' ping
when you join a friend world but it just takes you to another world with no peeps. what does that mean-
my ping is 98
im a boy sry!
I'm around 90
100-200
I have like a constant 100-120 for some reason
depends on your location and there's not much you can do about it
Depends on my location?
You or them running open beta?
If it depends on location, then where is the VRChat server based?
us-west
Oh- I'm us-east, is that why I'm getting 100+ ping?
Yeah
ping is more or less constant outside of lag spikes, etc. 100 people is reasonable
and there's no way I can reduce it unless I move to California?
Europeans are getting around 160-220
Damn
Yep 100-300 is normal for EU
You'd think they'd upgrade their servers because of how populated the game is nowdays
or add more across the world
they'll have to eventually at this rate
Really hope it's in the plans for 2021, been playing this game for a while and it's getting silly now
they definitely were not prepared for the boom in playerbase
!online
There are 30908 users in VRChat currently
exactly
It's not an easy task to go multi-region with our architecture and the servers in us-west are well-equipped to handle peak loads.
30,900+ people, 1 server
There are multiple servers, much much more than just 1
Where are they located? :o
All in us-west
Are you serious
I think you're confusing the definition of servers
With online being like- everything and for a full year at that, you'd think they'd make this game more stable and accessible right?
I think I am, sorry
Since many games break up regions and just call them different servers
Idk, was just hoping for maybe a server in US East, at least a couple in Europe, etc.
Is there any chance of that happening or...?
2017
of all the thing people complain about servers actually makes sense
Damn, since 2017
As Tupper said, it's not a matter of "buy more/better servers", I think spreading out in multiple locations would help a lot of people outside of my state of California lol.
Yeah just spread them out more rather than have them all centralized in like- the same place
I get pings of 12ish cuz I'm literally next to SF and I'm on pure fiber.
But everyone else is like 100
So jealous of you
I really really hope it's on the roadmap for 2021 with COVID still being a thing
Tbh I think many changes will come at once with the new UI rewrite cuz that is for sure being worked on
When is the new UI rewrite happening? (if there's a date)
Who knows. Hopefully by the end of 2021 early 2022 tho. That's what a lot of people are saying.
"later this year"
-2020
this year
guys the pandemic will be over in a week, ok ok it will be over in a month, okokok in a few months
a year later "well.. um.."
Anyone wanna play with me
Welcome to the one year anniversary of our two week quarantine!
me @rotund meadow
Gotta love crasher droglodites that try to crash becuase you play the game differently to them 🤣
if someone threatens to crash you just go into safe mode for a few minutes and block them
then slap their mom
I have never been crashed until I joined a furry world. It took 5 minutes
Yeah, I’m pretty sure dynamic bones don’t only crash quest users.
Especially since quest doesn’t support them
I had safety settings pretty high so didn't crashed but he still ruined the lobby
Yeah I've watched it happen- someone sitting in a corner and crashes every single Quest user in the world
I don’t know why people enjoy doing it. I have mild epilepsy and the crashes often cause my headset to flash a whole lot, forcing me to quit for the whole day
i got crashed in an odd way
Then proceeded to start yelling at me 🤣
a jackseptieye skin came into black cafe and was multiplying nonstop
if that makes sense
Some people never got any love from their parents, and thus the only attention they ever got was for behaving badly.
Thus they try to upset people in later life, because it's the only method that they know in order to feel alive.
And then tried hopping great pugs as most moved to a half full one
Others just want to feel powerful, because they have no control in their normal lives.
This is what I think happened to him , he was mad we were having fun with music via a soundboard
Crashing is legitimately dangerous to other people’s health. Some people like me, it might cause seizures if they are not fast enough to realize what’s happening
“Just close your eyes” doesn’t work if you don’t realize what’s happening yet
Some want to pretend they're smart for having/creating a crasher, despite it being virtually the easiest possible thing to do in Unity.
You got safety settings to friends only ?
Especially as trusted can't always , well be trusted.
I have visitors and new users only on voice lol
I never do
dawg why are you playing this game if your prone all it takes is a shader
Newer users are less often the issue. New comers to the game are more likely to spam stuff without realising they're annoying people, but much less likely to be actual crashers.
My epilepsy is very mild and usually isn’t triggered by the light patterns caused by VR stutters and such
It's the "Trusted" users that hang around in the edgiest possible avatars, gossiping and trash talking anyone and everything around them, that are the more common suspects.
all I have on nowadays are voice and avatar for everyone
If you want to avoid 99% of avatar based crash methods, you can leave all safety settings on, but just turn off custom animations for all non-friends.
That way you can still see everything normally, but you won't get any sound spam or visual spam, and anyone attempting to activate a crash won't be able to.
Besides @vocal shard , technically I’m not supposed to be driving as an epileptic but let me ask you this: how am I supposed to maintain a job and a life?
true
Most of us don’t have it really bad. But some of us gotta be really careful
There are only very few ways round disabling animations, and most crashers won't have them, or the inclination to try. (Since most of them involve crashing themselves in the process to get you)
Bababooiey
moai of wantanoi here with another video
Super hyped to see that they're working on Quest Avatar performance
I don't own a Quest, but I like the fallback system.
Needing to re-upload every avatar for Quest, was just far too fiddly for most to bother with.
Now I can make just one or two Quest compatible versions of my avatar, and assign them in game for all similar avatars.
yeah
especially because i make duplicates of avatars with/without the default walk anim for full body
should probably just decide one way or another on that though
As goofy as the default walk anims are, I generally find people just sliding around perfectly vertical to look sillier.
I feel like what we really need is for some people in the community to create some custom walk/run anims that look better.
And then share those around.
thought it was weird at first but now I prefer it
kinda the new trend with FBT users
Mmm. Not too fond of it myself. Is useful for when laying down, to not jerk up each time you move, but for actually standing or moving around, is kinda weird.
I use it on one of my avatars that can spawn a mo-ped, to allow me to sit on it without my legs going.
And am working on one with roller blades that it will be useful for.
Want to learn how to enable and disable it with a toggle from inside the animator though.
Sadly just trying to animate the checkbox itself doesn't work.
seen someone with a skateboard. thought that was creative
Oh yeah, that was another idea I had to try some time.
Though I was thinking of attempting to do it for something silly like this. :v
https://twitter.com/UnknownSquids/status/1356593272026726405
Not sure what the best way would be to allow the user to do tricks or such though.
I'm bored.
"Among the many changes and additions in this version are Fallback Avatars, a system that lets your PC-only avatar have a Quest avatar standing in instead of a gray robot"
YES
Ok, why am I getting adnormally high ping? 158 compared to 115.
There’s nothing wrong with my internet.
I assume the servers are on the fritz again.
Anyone else having to wait a long time to load a world?
There are 25097 users in VRChat currently
I made my first friend today
Oh god. I'm getting new years eve flash backs
yes im downloading at like .1 MB/s
So I’m not alone with the adnormally high ping.
probs
I just disconnect randomly alot
I ran a speed test just to make sure, definitely not on my end.
chilloutvr time
Might be a Cloudflare issue, seeing other IPs reporting problems around the same time this started.

There are 24764 users in VRChat currently
hello?
Hi.
cloudflare can go fuck itself, always has some issues
There are 24519 users in VRChat currently
autospacing moment
There are 24109 users in VRChat currently
Well I was hanging out with some new friends but not anymore I guess lol
Trying to get into a world takes like 10 minutes while everything else loads fine
On a Thursday of all nights for some reason
An announcement would be nice, just to know the devs see this and are doing something.
Does anyone wanna play Vr chat to give me cuddles?
I Mean they did say they are moving servers so this is expected
Some of us don't get a choice to right now

There are 23836 users in VRChat currently
Well then I wouldn't be referring to them
They said it would be done Friday. It’s Friday morning yes, but still..

There are 23596 users in VRChat currently
Lol dropping like flies
its that time of night when people go to bed
Or that the servers are struggling atm
My ping very, very slowly is going back to normal, then I suddenly get a jump of 156.
nah, its sleep time for most people
its late for americans and very early for europeans
yall gettin 156 ping? youre livin it up
Why am i downloading worlds and stuff at like 200kb
Normally it’s 115, now it’s 148-153.
your local server is probs doing maintenence
there is only one server though
mines usually a jittery 700-1300
mine is between 200 and 250 most of the time
if there was 1. many morepeople wouldhave the same issue
Yet I also get ridiculously slow world downloading.
Wouldn’t be bitching if it wasn’t for that, but it seems to go hand in hand.
possible

hello there
Helloo
Is anyone else in the state of Oregon still experiencing dial-up speeds in VRchat? I can no longer tell if it's a server issue or not because this has been going on since that horrible weekend.
There are 22516 users in VRChat currently
taking like 10 years to load a world
I seem to be loading in pretty fast most places
I would love to see a new oculus rift headset
Are weighted blankets worth it?
My vrc loads pretty quick
Yes, weighted blankets can slow intruders
strange to know a blanket could be a weapon
Just hang it and they get slapped upon opening the door
Or just tie a string onto a grenade
General kenobi
Oof, that would probably cause a bit of a homr renovation
Home*
Fk it I'm taking them with me
Hmmmmm.
no guys think about it
Can anyone recommend any vr worlds with good Christian values?
Nope, there's the bannered mare tho, cozy for movie nights
I'll try great pug then
imma just make a joke ||doom eternal ones||
I'ma go sleep
Sure
I really love my weighted blanket, helps alot
Was it expensive?
Like 40 bucks for a 25 pound one i think
My price range is 11.99
Its a bit more expensive than that typically
No blanket for me
Oof
F
Tis life
has anyone else's vrc friendslist been weird for a week or two btw
search this chat, you'll be surprised
only showing a fraction of my friends, and sometimes if they're in my favourites list they show but not in that actual friendslist
ah i c
okay ty
Another night of trying to mingle in a public instance and getting crashed without any ability to grab a name. This will never end, will it?
furry
Your powers of deduction are powerful.
waffles are made of batter
Jeeze. I gotta have avatars off in safety too to be in public?
yeah
Gon a keep trying to figure it out, because it keeps happening to FurHubs.
Hey does anyone know where i can find a Gasai Yuno avatar?
no
perhaps #avatar-search-old may help
Isnt the #avatar-search-old to request a avatar be made?
Its to find avatars.
Ooh
yeah
VRC traders is the commissions/requests discord
I didnt know thank you for the help
Hello
can i be the uncle?
ok
nah ill pass thats kinda cringe
"You can upload an avatar yourself to act as your fallback avatar" So I can basically make everyone look like Zero Two
uh no
i wish i could make everyone look like a furry so i could hate on them
other way around
deja vu I've said this before
hey that's me
done
i know that non-gif avas on nitro peeps is a rare occasion
hmm
bugger worlds not updating forcing me to relog vrc to refresh my friends n worlds
making a chart of different types of vrchat furries, dm me blunt stereotypes of different species of furries (offensive is welcome cause they're stereotypes)\
I hate going to public worlds
why's that
I hate going to friends of guests worlds
dude friends worlds are usually more toxic than public worlds IMO
And i usually get left out anyway so it's a bo
I just go either in public or with just a few people
Because when people see a furry they randomly block for no reason
public lobbies is where it's at
what worlds are you going to
I don't block for no reason
cause I've never actually experienced that
they disgust me, so I hide them
I just block if it's a random kid doing stupid bullshit
I block brushes, micspammers, and people with those floating edgy ass eboy avatars that have like 2 minute join audios
Yeah at least hide avatar not go block people
If you're not that, you're free to go
i just mute kids when they are loud
and hide avatars when they are huge or potential crashers
I don't understand why people hate furries, they're wholesome af
I hide all pc avatars, i'm way to scared of those guys
mostly because of the stigma they carry
I havent actually experienced any discrimination myself, there was this one time this dude joined my world and kept repeating "dogggg fuckerrssss" but I ended up getting into a really good conversation with him about the soulsborne series
why that? 99% of us are nice
more like 0.01, else are crashers, spammers or both
Yes. I can confirm, but i'm still scared someone Will crash me
zhen restart game and keep going
Somebody is using an avatar to flash people's screens and literally just blind us and murder us with earrape and high gfx. what do I do I cant see shit with the flashing screen so I cant block him
Doesn't mean i don't talk to pc people, i just hide them
don't hide avatar, disable audio, custom animations and shaders with particles
I accidentally got my hands on a crash avatar that was so powerful it could stall your PC
It's annoying
Now I'm scared to go on plubic world any more
I had to restart my entire pc 3 times before I figured out it was the avatar I was using that was causing my entire PC to freeze up
It's annoying x2
honestly stick to among us, murder 4, and similar populated worlds
surprisingly the most furry hate is in furry worlds
you could also disable animations for everyone
I usually see furries in the Black cat
keeps most crahsers away
True
black cat aswell although its a hub for the desktop users who wanna douche around
Yes, i can confirm
Hands down murder 4 is the most chill world for furries
I don't really like that game
and among us is like the opposite, by the same person
It's basically ttt
I honestly like it cause it gives the most opportunities for me making jokes
I need to get back into streaming
I don't like either among us or m4
i like among us, when there aren't any kids
I don't like the gamemode itself I like the interactions I make in it
both full of kids
Yes
Gaslighting people in among us is a great passtime
idk why but I am great at online interactions
the only interaction i get with others is because of my wings ;-;
name one horror map in vrc that doesn't use jumpscares to scare and actually has a story
irl I am reserved but online I got the streamer personality and idk why
devouring afaik
lmao same sorta
how do i use specials on keyboard?
@regal furnace
alt + keypad
e.g. alt + 0153
does ™️
but you can also just type :tm: on discord

idk, I'm rather tolerant
👀
furries are mostly fine, unless they(as a being) are cringe
the memes i get here
furries are cringe in general but some r ok ppl to talk on topics
met a furry guy, works in medical
and as all non-russians: has fbt, rtx 3090 + r7 setup
let me guess, hates wearing pants?
wdym
3090, 24
not for what the card was designed for
what was the card designed for if its a consumer product for dedicated users beefing their pcs?
the card was intended as a product for creators, not gaymers
but they still left the rtx in the name
also btw quadros exist
raytraced 3d videoclips ok i agree
renders
8-11 is enough for any vidya on 4k smooth
lol yeah
Maybe.
