Hey
someone presumably blocked me because they couldn't spell "resident evil"
weird reason to block someone
Tough, next time spell it right. Jerk.
Blocked.
For misspelling my favorite survival horror game series
U misunderstood
The person who blocked them couldn’t spell it right
embed fail
the avatar menu doesn't fucking work anymore...
what the hell vrchat why is ppl is getting blocked when i didnt blocked them and im not the only one here
I need friends 🏃🏻♀️
Public worlds exist.
Ik 🏃🏻♀️ but who tf would get on at like 6 am
Anyone not from the US? 
no uk
Social Anxiety exists as well
Hey, there are ways to get around it.
For instance, do what I do: become a greeter. Eventually, you'll find people who're cool enough to wanna talk to you.
teach me your ways-
Literally... just... stand at the entrance of the world (a world with a decent spawn point) and greet people as they come in. For instance, in the Black Cat.
Stand behind the desk in front of the fountain and just say "Hi, welcome to the Black Cat. How are you doing?"
I do it all the time in the Pug. Met some good people through that.
You'll get a lot of people who'll just wave you off or completely ignore you, though.
But hey, their choice.
mushroomgass 9b33 someone friend me lol
Horrible way to make friends.
sorry dad
Same as running out to a local park and saying "I'm [name here], be my friend" to the kids on the swing.
Thanks for that amazing advise
I'm full of it.

Hello everyone👋
vrc is fucked for me
website loads forever, social menu is not updating
Nvm, it works on Chrome
is something going on in vrchat? i can't make a new account
#avatar-search-old might! c:
the login servers are nor working for VRC i keep disconnecting from VRC ...
thank you
is there a way to get help?, i need help with vrc im having the audio bug every 5 seconds and its making the game unplayable

yw!
hello everyone 🙂
hi!
oh your new here like me?
nah I've been around here a while lol, but welcome!
lmao weird
so this is for vr chat right?
yup! This is the official VRChat Discord server
There's tons of help channels on the left if you need help with specific stuff, or just #user-support-old/#vrchat-support for general support stuff
There's also the two general channels at the top, and the #general-media channel for non-VRChat related stuff too c:
I haven't played in a while and I don't talk ingame anyhow lol, but there's tons of other people online! o:
im currently in vrc drinking
just play add people u like and such
there is no like correct way to do it i guess
Generally just play the game, add people, don't get blocked/muted and you'll rank up o:
its just mixure of things
There's no ranks on the discord itself lol, but there are ingame
If u add me (same in vrc as on discord) I don’t mind people chillin/hangin with me. Feel free
My schedule is also very weird cuz of my job
Ok thanks 😊

If she uses the q2 on her pc then you can send a giftcard through steam
If only standalone she'll have to wait till summer
There's a decent two player beatsaber world called quest extreme beatsaber
Then a aircraft carrier with jets that you can fly around and dog fight in
how many hours would ya'll say until you get the full experience of vrchat
The full? Never, thats kinda like asking when you got the full talking to humans irl experience
Not about hours more about just what you've experienced
That's why you have to play your whole life
It's really just online culture and irl socializing mashed together
20 hours
Naw
billions and billions of hours
does the vrchat+ early supporter badge last even after the subscription ends?
Yes
ooh ok i might get it then :3
gotta get the clout xD
lmao im with u on that, that was 2017 right?
Knuckles blew up on the 10th of january 2018
also because i dont play frequently enough im still a "new user" even tho ive played the game since november 2017 lol
Lol
My friend has the same issue
I've played 1k hours myself and just got trusted. Doesn't help the system used to be dumb af making it super easy to lose rank.
Also uploaded quite a bit and then deleted it all
i just like making worlds, im messing around with udon rn but ive never released any publicly
i dont talk to people much
And it used to be super easy to just plummet years ago
ah
I got like 100 hours on my main acc and managed to get the highest trust rank
Just dont mass delete people of your friendslist and you should be fine
Ya I did that too haha
Then anyone unfriending you used to hurt
I don't think unfriending people matters much anymore though. As long as you don't mass delete I don't think it effects a thing
Not for sure on that though as they haven't said anything on it
Lol
"Trusted" is a joke now
I'm probably 3-fold veteran by now
And that's assuming that it didn't get easier to rank up, but it did
I figured out how it worked over 2 years ago
Not that it was that difficult to understand before it's just no one believed it works the way it does lol
Exactly, but tons of people kept saying "well the devs haven't said anything so you can't know that or that's not true"
So dumb
Monkey brain
It seems like your rank is heavily affected by the amount of high-ranked friends you have, but this will result in a slow chain-reaction of rankups
I wouldn't think so but it might be.
Uploading avatars and worlds work too, but most newbies don't do that much
More passive knowledge through them and joining them in the vrc no life life
I would hope this isn't the case
I personally don't like the rank up when you buy vrc+ but it does make sense in a way
When Veteran came out, only me and a friend of mine had it, and that's because we uploaded worlds on top of having 1200 hours
People who pay are less likely to do dumb stuff to get banned
Now when I check the API, 80% of my friends have veteran
Huh
And that's true
Maybe it is easier 🤔
Though with 1k hours most of it before vrc+ and 3.0 I'm only trusted after I got vrc+
I think ranks should look like a logistic function, but then they'd need to add more, because "trusted" is now the cut-off for "probably not an asshole or script kiddie"
Lots of hours friends stuff uploaded etc
Most friend groups stay in friends+, friends only and private
But most groups from years back are all trusted or veteran
You probably rank up faster by befriending them than you do befriending other beginners
Well I was always one for sticking to public
My long time friends and I still hang out from time to time but it's usually public or nothing for me
r we here?
ironically most trusted users are mod users lol
Hey! Rude.
and their mods don't effect you in anyway
Yeah, usually, not in my group though
But if they're mods for utility, I don't blame them
yes
Just a question out of curiosity; how much time did it take you peeps to find a group that you’d now consider friends, or close-knit people?
my whole life
hmm ~9 years
in VRChat, I meant-
oh
should’ve probably specified that
a few days
idk i started hangin out in gaia night back in the day and met most of the people i hangout with there just making meme animations
I'm not a furry but I went in the furry hangout world and I met a nice group of friends there
way nicer than other people
and their avatars are pat-able
fug
For me it took around 70 hours though this is most likely due to me being very introverted. It would be around 50 hours if I included my friends who were Furries but I only visit them if I'm invited, feels too awkward to temporarily use a Furry avatar. Most of the people I hang out with are mirror dwellers and or Social drinkers but they talk to each other at least. Most of my friends were found in Summer Solitude, Midnight Rooftop or MERroom.
will keep those three places in mind.
I’m just trying to kinda find more peaceful worlds with less memers, but it’s hard-
Why does socialising have to be this haaaard
Will not go there then- I really want to stay away from the more chaotic rooms. Heard that places with a pool Table are pretty good spots.
Yeah MERroom is a really mixed bag. I only have found 2 friends there.
I mean for furry worlds specifically, VirtualFurence is p cool imo
working piano, working doors, you can pick people up and the people there have been pretty cool from what I've seen
Furry is just a preference, doesn't necessarily mean that people in those world's are oddballs, they just feel and see from different perspectives, doesn't mean they aren't nice people in general.
they're nice
am furry, can confirm others b coole
One I’m creating a custom avatar for a quest how do I do the control shift b because it’s not working properly still
might want to ask how to change the build target in #avatar-quest o:
in short though, Edit > Project settings, set to Android
if it doesn't let you, you'll have to download Android build support for 2018.4.20f1

from 1 to 10, how good of a tactic to make conversation, is sitting by yourself a bit away from the crowd, and just hanging out?
I am not good with Conversation starters-
-1
some people actually do that but you will be very bored while you wait
on the offchance someone talks to you
find a mute and step on them. they love it

I'd say it's a 2-3. The chance is very low so you better have music playing to help pass the time.
ah shite
NOT through your mic though
def not a good way to get people to come up to you, from experience lol
Generally, find a point in a conversation that interests you and hop in! people are in public worlds to talk/make friends for the most part, otherwise they'd be in a private world o:
if you play music through your mic you will in fact REPEL most people
Yeah please don't play music from your Mic. It's a great way to get kicked or mass-muted.
wow they updated the VRchat site to not look like ass on mobile
I've tried that, but i usually just end up talking to people once and then they're just stuck on my friends list forever.
yo does anyone have clips that i can edit with
one of the worst trends to come recently to this game is quest kids playing music through their phones into their quest mic
even if I like the music they're playing it automatically sounds like ass
Quest kids feeling like gangsters
...Why?
I hate when people play music through their mic. If I want to listen to music I would be already listening to some.
Yeah that gets annoying
Soulja boi is the only acceptable song to play through a mic.
or let the bodies hit the floor.
No. No it's not.
yeah
based
I never mute people, but I do turn their volume to zero. Avoids them seeing a "i muted you" icon.
I like the icon so I know that I muted them. So I know why I can't hear them if they try to talk to me
wait so you can turn someones voice to 0% now? last time I played it was to 5%
im not sure if i saw this right but can we gift vrchat plus?
I don't think Steam lets you gift subscriptions.
ah okay, thanks for the clarification
VRC+ gifting is coming in the summer updates, but isn't possible now yeah
hype
are all tabs finally clickable?
no, 5%. what you search is the mute btn
yeah there's a drop down instead of half the buttons going off the screen
if you do it around me youll most likely get headpats instead of a conversation since i dont speak, but i sort of at least wave hello at someone or headpat if theyre just there all by themselves
headpats are best anyways
they are nice unless its being done out of disrespect
Quest 2 or Rift S?
Quest 2 with a link cable or Virtual Desktop/ALVR/Oculus Air Link, if you have a VR-capable computer
Yep I do
I might use ALVR tbh
I heard it's good.
I don't wanna spend a 100 bucks on a link cable.
Note that you don't need to use the official Oculus link cable, any USB C data cable will work
should probably be a long cable though lol
I'm probably not going to use it standing so yeah.
I found a pretty good one online for cheap
the 10ft USB C cables Anker makes are apparently p good, though they're five feet shorter than the official link cable if that matters
even the charging cable that comes with the Quest will work as a link cable iirc lol, though it's only like 2 feet long
yeah its only a meter long, USB C to USB C
I found a 20ft long one for 25 bucks.
Make sure that it's a data cable and not a charge-only cable, otherwise it should be fine
the Quest works on USB 2.0 or 3.0, but 2.0's limited to 70hz iirc
get one that like goes at a 90 degree angle at one end it prevents bending
so your wire doesnt break in a week
very sweet of ya
awh o:
also I just realized, I think the official Oculus link cable is the only data-only USB cable I've heard of? i.e does no charging
power-only cables are here and there but data-only's something lol
sooo my friend wants to do full body with his quest 2 , he has the link cable and he has the trackers and the base stations he just cant get the base stations to register how would he fix this ?
@finite pilot #full-body-tracking should be able to help more
but is he using steam vr?
Yea i got it resolved thx!
I got a NexiGo-brand cable (16ft) for my Qwest tuu
Ooooo
Hi I want to know does anyone have or know where the giant Diva Avatar is I have been looking for it I lost it when I accidentally unfavored it I didn't notice I unfavored it
I literally just linked you to the proper channel.
hi
Pretty sure there is a overwatch world
is unity 2018.4.20f1 still the updated version I should be using?
yup!
Still crashing trying to update the lightmap for my work lol
try disabling auto lightmap generation? I've seen a rare crash caused by that
Its disabled, but when I try to update, says "Baking.." then crash
weird! not super sure on that unfortunately but #world-lighting might know
believe I sent it twice there (world optimization), Ill try again later
ah kk - could also try switching from CPU lightmapping to GPU lightmapping (or vice-versa, depending on whichever you're already using) to see if it's just a resources issue? could also def try to reduce the amount of background tasks to keep memory usage down before baking
not super sure past that, though
I just found out how to switch from gpu (what I was using) without musch problem other than the process time, thanks.
hello
Where are my ska friends at?
Hi guys, I want to create my own worlds an import my avatar, how much time do I need to spend on VR chat for that? I also don’t have a mic rn do you recommend a world where I can play using only the keyboard?
Every world works in desktop mode, aside from the vv rare Quest-only worlds - also there's no set time limit to get to upload avatars/worlds o:
You need at least New User rank ingame to upload public/private avatars and private worlds, and you need User rank to upload public worlds. Ranks are affected by many things, like friends added, worlds visited, avatars/worlds uploaded (if the account has permission) active hours and etc, along with not getting kicked/banned/muted/reported, etc
It's completely different for everyone but I'd hazard a guess and say 10-50 hours with a decent amount of friends'd sound right to get to New User
Thank you for replying, 10hours sounds a lil bit long but I think I’ll able to find some time if I find a world to play muted 🙂
def not a minimum time either! Some people have gotten New User in as little as 2 hours c:
Oh, that sounds great, I just spent like half and hour because I’m just learning the stuff, gonna watch some YT vids to lear to move faster
also to clarify I mean 10-50 hours in total, not one 10-50 hour session lol
good luck though! c:
Yep, I did understand it like that but the wait can be long XD
Or you can also buy VRChat + to instant rank up~
@vocal shard oh, ok, I think I’m going to get it at some point but right now it won’t be possible for me but thank for the suggestion, you can upload your own stickers as well right?
your own icon for your nameplate, yes o:
stickers/badges on your nameplate/profile though, no
And have 100 favorite slots instead of 25
Yep, I read some of the banners. I found it cool, I just spend a little time and it’s an immersive experience even on pc
Also what is the VR set that you recommend in case I want to get one in the future?
quest 2 is the cheapest
Depends on if you have a VR-ready PC. If you lack a VR-ready PC then the Quest 2 or whatever its successor is depending on how late you buy VR is your only option.
vrchat on pc vr is absolutely mental
If you want the best VR headset overall get the valve index. Want Wireless PCVR while being Full-body tracking capable get the Vive pro 2 or Vive cosmos elite. Note for wireless function an additional accessory is required.
If you do get a Vive pro 2 or Vive cosmos Elite I would recommend getting Valve Index controllers (AKA Knuckles) especially if you plan to play VRchat mainly.
Cool, thank you @rancid jewel and @pliant epoch
quest 2 the Index if you got a 3080 OwO
XD 3080 is the graphics card right @vocal shard ?
yup rtx 3080
if you want to get the most out of it playing Vrchat at 144 hrtz sounds amazing~
Yeah, I’ll have to wait to have some good luck first, specifically since the graphics market is always fluctuating a lot
I think there’s also a chip’s shortage
yo thanks guys for updating the website on mobile
i can actually use it when i log into it now because the buttons no longer go off screen
Hey anybody know dragon like or dragon avatars?
A 2060 can run the index just fine though
It's impossible to get 144fps in vrc unless you're alone In a empty world. But in every other game I hover around 120fps
Or kinda like demon avatars
vr chat any1
And then theres me at 20fps on desktop in every world
Tuff
anyone use oculus link
I rarely do, I mostly use virtual desktop
same
I barely get 90 with a 2070 rtx :(
note that VRChat's FPS cap is 90 by default for desktop mode and is otherwise capped to your headset's refresh rate o:
--fps={maxFPS}
you can increase it with that btw
Need a vr chat girlfriend plz. Lol
That's the worst way to get one.
Great way to get catfished though:)
Ik haha

Hi
Hello
Wyd
nothin
Nice
you?
On the Bus
ahh, so getting off from school?
Ya
noice
yes
this is the vrchat discord
How can you uncap the fps?
in Steam, right-click VRChat and open the Properties, then add --fps=0 with 0 being whatever you want the cap to be c:
It won't be a recognized launch option, so nothing'll happen
In launch options right?
yup! the command goes into the launch options field
--fps=100
Like this kinda?
yup! note that the default FPS cap for desktop mode is 90, so you might want to raise it higher than 100
raising your FPS cap while using a VR headset won't do anything though, iirc
Just wondering, my VRchat sometimes bugs out and frames drop to like 1, it also makes me look in a random directions or something, what's the reason of that?
(PC)
There's probably hundreds of reasons that could be lol, but make sure that your system resources aren't being used too much in the background? o:
i.e reduce background tasks as much as you can
In the background there is very little things :p, any other big reasons?
If it's a lag spike from an avatar loading in, you could try making the maximum avatar filesize lower in the performance options (top right of the safety settings > perf options) o:
I set mines as 75 mb
while you're there, setting the minimum displayed avatar rank up from Very Poor might help for performance in general
Won't that make people with very poor turn into robots?
Yes.
But you get better performance.
It'll make them into perf. blocked robots, yes
True.... Mines is a very poor :p will that also make me a robot (in mirror or something)
nope! safety settings don't affect your avatar or avatars you've manually shown
Got it, thanks!
Dm me if you wanna play vrchat I’m bored
so what does heat mean for a vrchat world?
its used for the Hot world tab and resets every 2 weeks
ohh, alright
thank you, i was mostly curious because i had checked my world earlier today, and then when i checked it again a few moments ago it suddenly said "0" under heat instead of any icons
ive only ever seen heat, so idk
Hi
Hey did someone knows how to import the skin to vr chat that i just downloaded on a site ?
Hello
Wyd
Depends on the site...
Vrc Arena
Oh, alright. And what's the issue?
?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.
Source: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions
There are tutorials on YouTube that walk you through the uploading process.
Make a VRC account then merge the Steam account.
oh i did
Whoever decided to finally rename avatar requests to #avatar-search-old is a genius who deserves the credit

Good thing as I was starting to run out of ways to type "this channel is not for commissions/creation requests".
90% of misconceptions are gonna magically poof away now
ok so now next line of buissness fix the loading screen tip about NSFW avatars
one person asked for a request right after one of your recent posts and got mad at me when I pointed that out
and claimed they didnt see it
I believe they didnt see it
Idk how they didnt honestly cause Im sure if they posted it they would have saw a glimpse of it at least
Yeah I saw. I would have laughed but was playing BF1 at the time and winning the match takes priority.
I dont think I was being rude on my post, was I?
cause that wasnt even my intention when I posted that
your probably overthinking it
they asked if I would have said it a little nicer so Idk if they assumed I was being rude or not
You were not being rude at all. The person might have been trying to pull the "entitled" tactic.
who knows... I wouldnt be surprised if it was a kid that overreacted there a little
but anyways I got a map to model so I wont be active for a moment but Im happy to chat later when I take breaks
X marks the spot
Iae
I'm searching for a lost world!
It basically in orbit around earth, with comets flying by, nice music and a few avatars.
It was the best earth world i've seen in VRChat and i really wanna find it again
Does anyone else have a problem where they cannot register an account because an -@knotty thicket email is apparently invalid
You mean mail.com?
yeah
it just says my email is invalid
I mean it works ive sent and recieved from my other gmail
I need to use the mail tho
hey
@compact granitecan you friend me im booored
um? i guess i can? i have no idea who you are lmao
Just Discord things

Ive only done a few private rooms in vrc. Because i was tired of all the kids
Yeah thats good. But your drinking much?
i am
you've been on like every night the past few weeks I swear lol 🤣
Mmh why
Im just like to take care of myself. Makes me feel better then drinking daily
well i have
I quit porn and stuff just to get a grip on life again. I swear its the most toxic stuff ever
well it is super toxic and addictive in nature
True. You know iamlucid?
yes seen his videos
Yeah he has been on nofap for like 3 years now. No joke.
He motivated me and im 80 days atm
I feel like 10x better
good stuff
hi hi

Looking for a drinking buddy to get wasted with 😊😂 20+
Looking for a streamer buddy im 15 (pc)
Can I use Vive base stations on the Vive Pro?
I belive so. You probably find information on that by HTC directly.
thanks HTC for having massive URLS
wait nevermind i'm blind, 1.0s will work with the Pro
ik I corrected it later lol, didn't see that for some reason o:
<-----needin more freinds
me and my friend are looking for interesting worlds to explore, like horror/story/rpg or just worlds with fun hidden secrets, reply if you have any recommendations please? PC users so no worlds that require VR interaction pleaseee
i know a bunch sum ive never been back to cas scared the crap outa me
try to send em when i get back on but best senerio is search bar
There is this gigabyte thing in your advanced performance setting, is it taking up space in your computer or saying how much data you have?
In the advanced performance settings, that's the maximum avatar size - some avatars larger filesize-wise than others, though the standard 200mb is more than enough
If you mean in the advanced settings (menu at the top-right of the settings menu, not the safety menu) that's the current size of your downloaded content cache, which is space taken up on your computer
You can clear that last one by clicking the button to clear your downloaded content cache c:
Hmmm.... but I feel like it is increasing even though I'm not getting any new avatars
Is it downloading worlds and other peoples avatars that I join?
yup! The content cache contains all the avatars and worlds you've seen, so that you don't have to download them again
It's much faster to load it from the cache rather than downloading it again, but as a result it takes up space on your system - clearing it won't clear your avatar favorites or anything
Because like, 20+ gigs in just like 20 some hours are a little bit... much
Ah, good to know
blame the people with horribly unoptimized avatars lol, unless you're switching worlds a ton - setting the maximum avatar size in the safety settings to be lower can help with that o:
I set mines as 75 mb
imo that's good! there's very little reason for an avatar to be in the triple digit mbs anyway lmao
I only have like.... 20 or less avatar?
Avatar and world favorites aren't stored on your computer, they're saved to your account
Yep, I did that to prevent crashers since emotes and songs pretty much can't pass 75
Ah, so then what was in the catch- I feel dumb
It's downloaded into a catch... but it isn't on my computer?
The cache is on your computer, but your avatar/world favorites are not stored in the cache
they're not stored locally whatsoever actually
When you visit a world and see some avatars, those get downloaded into the cache so that they'll load in faster the next time you see them
Okay, so other people will be downloaded into my computer, while my stuff are not stored locally?
yup! technically the avatar you're wearing is stored in the cache as well but the actual favorite slot isn't if that makes sense
Got it, that sounds weird but I think I get it
The ids of your favourited items are stored in the cloud, but once you load them the models will be in the cache till you clear it
Thanks! Also how do you know this much information... you like answer all my questions...
I think I get it now?
+1 to Gharlane
also 🤷 been here a bit lol i'unno
Niceeee
anyway yus, favorited avatars and world lists are stored in the cloud and won't be erased by you clearing your cache
Clearing the cache can occasionally help with a couple loading/loading speed issues sometimes
So if I do clear the cache, it won't do much other than slower loading times on my worlds I didn't favorite but joined in once before
And could help with loading issues?
It'll clear however much space your cache was taking, mainly
Also the default max size of the cache is 20 gig, and anything you haven't seen in 30 days will get removed from it
So if you hit max the game will have to spend time removing things so it can add more
Ah, so it is a good idea to clear it for me
Which I believe is why you get a performance boost by clearing it reguarly
But won't that mean I would be downloading and using data very oftenly?
Yeah
"cache_size" : 200, (gb) , less redownloading of same worlds / avatars i constantly see
Can increase the cache size if you want
How do I do that?
Details here: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/configuration-file
^ note, make sure that you have enough space on whatever drive you're sending the cache to, which is the C: drive by default
even if you have the game installed on a different drive, the C: drive will have the default cache location o:
"cache_directory" : "G:/cache-VRchat", 🐇
Wait, so where do I edit this, in properties through steam or using File Explorer?
just a text file renamed json after
I moved my cache before they ever added that config file method
In file explorer - make a file called config.json in your default cache location
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat
woot for symlinks
I'm 100% going to mess this up, but I guess I'll try
No need to use symlinks anymore tho, vrchat really need to have the config file as default in ui , way too few know about it
So, create text file called config.json in vrchat folder
Make sure you can see file extensions in your folders or you will probably end up making config.json.txt which will not work
Make a file called config.txt there and add the following:
"cache_directory" : "C:/VRCCache/",
"cache_size" : "20",
}
``` and save it, then change the file extension to ``config.json``, then run VRChat
obv replace C:/ with whatever drive you want to send the cache to, and set the cache size to whateverr you want

could always just move to #user-support-old! o:
hello chat
Hi everyone
anyone wanna come tell me how my mic sounds
Wassuppp


what is perf
short for Performance, those are some of the avatar performance icons
because they're the performance icons for avatars?
and?
that's all
Real quick when im trying to change my pass word and its saying incorrect parameters is there a fix fpr this
I have a question... I have a low-end pc.. and no vr. When I try to play it on my pc, it works but when I get to a main lobby it starts laggin. How can I change the graphics? Cus I gone to settings and it dosent say graphics settings.
Press shift when starting the game, then you can change the settings.
ok
Thanks for config file guys! I had no idea it exists and have been using symlinks to change my cache directory.
whats the fun of vr chat if u didnt have a visor
talk to people, explore places
same game. just less immersive
same for "I can't work out, because I don't have the clothes"
sure it's more fun with a headset, but it's also fun and social without one ;)
I even know some who frequently are online in Desktop, even tho they have headset, trackers, etc. just because ;)
Um idk how to make a avatar and nobody said anything about the question of how to make one
first thing: you start
...
you could start reading that: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/creating-your-first-avatar
and use google/youtube
I learned about 90% of what I know like that, 9% from trial and error, and the rest 1% from asking someone.
Um is it quest compatible (I use headset only)
that's up to you
Could I just ask someone to make it cuz I have the original character
#community-servers-old and go to the VRCTraders Discord, there you can find a lot of creators, but get your wallet ready
I bought VIVE Facial Tracker today, but Vrchat doesn't support it?
yea...no it doesn't
It's true?
Yea
Are there any plans for an update?
In the future, yes
not yet
sorry.
well i think its gonna be hard to implement for avatars since alot of facial expressions and the visemes are using blendshapes
Avatars would have to be specifically made with that
yes
it would probably require a completely new face rig to work
Mhm
Facial Tracking wont be plug and play even if it supports it
thats why you make research before you buy something expensive
Thanks for the answer everyone
Probably not too hard to do it by calibrating to a bunch of blendshapes
Like the eyes are done now where you pick all the directions yourself and it interpolates between those
You can do mouth tracking with normal visemes, but it isn't ideal. Can't move jaw or tongue and such.
You'll always want extra blendshapes for proper mouth tracking support.
Just realized how late I am to this conversation. xD
hi

Anyone wanna do any funny skits or something? VR only speak good English

welcome! c:
yes very welcome
The users in #avatar-search-old might know some good anime avatar worlds.
Just seen the channel for that! My bad
i can drop by whats ur vrc name
Quick question, what is the hand position for idle expression on the index?
this is a weird observation but what is with all the off-white outfits in vrchat. like i get it e boys and drip huhuhuh. but like why the weird prevalance of off white of all things.
I have a question. My friend is using a quest with airlink to run pc vrchat. But for some reason when he looks down the head will rotate from the wrong spot causing his avatar to lift up awkwardly. Is there a way to fix this or to maybe offset where his headset rotates? We know it's not an issue with the avatar as it happens with his other avatars as well.
What happened to general-1?
death
helloo
@drifting adder That can happen if the avatars viewpoint is too far away from the center of the avatars head
but it might be something more unusual if it's affecting all avatars
According to the internet it's something to do with the quest 2'd recent update. So hopefully vrchat will update soon to take it into effect
hmm, interesting
helo
is vrc upload broken?
uvu
yes
Hi
is there any way to pull logs on oculus quest or no?
Not at the moment, no
I’m bored
Damn
i need to look for more fun worlds
ohh thanks!
What's "429 No Reason Phrase"?
Might depend on the context.
Using Google, I was able to find someone with a 429 Error labeled "too many requests". Maybe that's the issue?
https://steamcommunity.com/app/438100/discussions/1/1693788384138342925/?l=brazilian
It's for api2.amplitude.com, which is apparently an analytics tool
VRChats website is broken on my Firefox, and that's the only error I can see. It just loads forever
im at the vr chat home
you move really fast
yea and i have hiccups
damn
429 generally means you're being rate limited, which means that either our servers or a service we use inbetween you and us has decided that you're attempting something too many times.
Are you seeing this on the website, by the way?
The website should exist without Amplitude, as it's a non-important analytics tool.
Errors coming from our servers generally have a message attached with it like "Trying to login too many times. Try again later.", etc.
In the odd case like this one, there was no message sent along with it, but the error code is understood.
Could you send in a support ticket if you've got screenshots, along with your username and whatnot?
Dude when are we getting that huge update with permanence for art world drawings ?! That's gonna be such a game changer fore and my gang 😁👍
Ah, it's marker man!
No error codes, so I looked at the console. It loads 16 requests then stops. It looks like it's loading the home page (first request is GET /home which returns 200), but I might not be logged in, in which case it should have gone to the login page. My browser is not up to date, so maybe that's it? Some sites say "Browser not supported"
I'm too lazy to make a ticket for now, since I can use Chrome, but I will make one if it starts to bother me
These are funny btw:

Good question! Lets see..
Waterfox 56.2.8, build ID 20190314011207
Could someone point me in the direction of where I'd fine the prone animation that looks like you're holding a gun? I know a lot of people seem to use it but I'm not sure where it's from.
Isn't that the default one? Maybe it was replaced. If you still have old files laying around, it might be in there
Would you know what it might be called? Not finding anything when I search prone in my older files
its just the default prone on sdk2
im not sure where you would source it though but its somewhere in the sdk for grabs
sdk3 prone is gross as hell I can see why you want the old one back
Anyone wanna play Naruto vrchat or a Chill room?
search "prone" on mixamo, i think those animations are what VRChat uses
caca poopy
Hihi
This is kind of a tech support qurstion, but Every time I load into a new area, for like, 5 solid minutes, my framerate is like, in the teens, then it suddenly shoots up to 90FPS. anyone know about this kind of issue and how to address it?
people have made avatars with 3rd person built into avatars but from vrchats official selection no
your going to have to find one yourself or go ask in #avatar-search-old
I have multiple 3rd person avatars, go to CL3NR’s Avatar World
there was someone teleporting us everyone
record it next time it happens and make sure to get the name of the hacker in the video, then make a ticket with the instructions in #moderation-reports to get them banned
was impossible, no idea who was
he just was teleporting us all with a sound in the background saying among us
my question is how is that possible?
with a broken skin?
check the social tab and the people around you who get teleported, use the process of elimation
and no they just use modified clients the abilities they use as far as I know are NOT attached to the avatars they are using
the background noise saying among us would be the avatar though
hmm yeah was weird
hey, could anyone help me a littlebit out? cause i dont really know how to interact, especially talk to people :c i was a mute for a long time in vrc but i started talking to some people, but its really difficult for me to talk to more then that 2 people orso, id love to talk to everybody that wants to talk (sorry for my sentences im no native english speaker :c)

anyone know how to change favourite and change out of big avatars. i cant click on my avatars when in massive avatars
yeah just hit control + /
im on vr tho
go to desktop mode and do that
unless you want to go to the website and reset it there
only 2 options
bruh all that just to change out of a big avatar?
mhm
Hi
hey
It might be too late, but try cloning another avatar. That’s always worked for me.
I feel like if your too big then you couldn't even do that
depends on the map I guess
yeah i usually just ask my mate to turn on cloning
thats the only way but i cant even favourite big avatars
Hmm
try changing the setting for your height to max
if any of yall want custom vrc anime avatar, dm me (not free lmao but cheap)
👀
you should rather go to vrctraders, get approved by the mods there and advertise over there, much higher chances of finding someone
im sure hes getting buissness but we need advertising to a minimum before other people realise
ooohhhk
hi
Hello there
The angel from my nightmare
search 'cell shading shader unity' or use poyomi
hey i play on quest 2 but my favorite avatars a screwed i have two favorite avatars but it stays as 25 i cannot unfavorite the other 2 please help
ill take a look huge thanks
it fixes itself in 1-2 days automatically, no other known way to fix besides waiting
is the tree house map by 1001 bugged to anyone else?
i can't use any of the jetpacks but other people can, also when they use it just moves forward instead of keeping up with the players so it looks like they are floating on nothing
i've already tried new instances and even restarting vrchat and cleaning the downloaded content but nothing works
From a quick desktop mode test, they seem fine for me o:
could try reinstalling if you haven't already?
what platform
i'm on pc
Steam logins seem to be broken rn. Had to login to my VRChat account directly.
alright so, reinstalling vrchat seemed to make it work
thanks
yw!
If your set home world is using sdk3 that can break some sdk2 mechanics like the jetpacks and any other spawnables like it
Oh damn, my own world is my home world which is sdk3

Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️⚧️
Its official corporate queer shill-out month yes
haha ha we like gays too, buy our shit and support our mega corporations 🤣 
Uhhhh
whats pippin slayer 14 beaner and professional virgin
im bored and tired af and typing random shit in random chat
oof
is vrchat supposed to be using 80% gpu and crashing every 3 minutes
Maybe try clearing cache? @strange eagle
already did and reinstalled vrchat
this crashing only started happening about 20 minutes ago, it was fine before that
Do u play vrc for a bit before it crashes?
yeah it just closes itself after 3 to 5 minutes
which channel lets me post pictures? i'll show you a screenshot of the power usage
might want to move to #user-support-old - don't use other channels as image hosts though, image hosting website links are allowed here o:
Hi
Where do Star Wars fans go to hangout in vrchat
star wars related worlds
makes sense
Like?
There's a search bar at the top-right of the worlds menu - search something like star wars in there and see what pops up! c:
There has to be at least a cantina world in VRC. If there isn’t that’s a very big sin.
there is one
if something doesn't exist in vrchat, make it 🙃
hello everyone i m looking for a vr set up it will be my first one ever any suggestions? i have no clue whats good or not so maybe i could get a bit of feedback here
Depends on what you have at your disposal, and what your budget is. If you have a low budget, something like a quest 2 would be decent, despite the Zucc observing you. It you have a bunch of cash and a good PC, go for something like the Valve Index.
valve is over thousand so i will need to wait a month, but for now i can afford around 700€ i use expensive laptop with 2070rtx idk if that is enough
A 2070 is beyond enough, it's perfect! If you have 700 euro, a 256gb quest 2 would be good, but only if you don't mind having to use a FB account.
oh well
so whats in the market now, like whats good? idc if i have to wait one more month and get something better
The Q2 can be used for PCVR too, so there's that
Well, the Q2 is insanely good for the cost, despite the FB block, but the index is equally brilliant. only thing you would need to consider with that is having to set up 2 tracking cameras in the corners of your room.
But I'd honestly go with Q2 for ease of use, cost, and versatility
And graphics and processing power
just curious, does that work with play station aswell? bc i also play a lot of racing games, could be nice to try that
No, PSVR is its own thing. You'd have to get a second, PSVR headset to play playstation games.
fuck ps then, who cares about consoles
consoles dumb
loel
But yeah, currently a Q2 is your best bet for good quality VR, both standalone and PC
oculust quest 2, right?
Yep
299 for 64gb, 399 for 256gb
For the better headstrap, it's an additional 50 I think
I've got a bunch of headsets, I've owned almost all and currently have 6 headsets. I'd say the best headset right now in any market is the Quest 2. Higher pixel density/resolution than the Index, 120hz framerate, standalone or wired/wireless connection to a pc with very low latency, parental controls from a mobile app with extreme oversight, real hand tracking, etc. The Oculus platform uses less resources and is more stable IMO than SteamVR, but you can easily use SteamVR with Quest. A few mods ($50 on Amazon for a headstrap and more comfortable facemask) makes it super nice, wearable all day. Quest has built in features like calorie counting so even while you're in PCVR it will track how many steps you take, etc. And last but not least, Oculus has the best exclusive titles for its platform in the industry.
That was a straight up book, and I like my other headsets for different reasons. But the best all around headset is by far the Quest 2, no question, hands down.
are u real
hi
that's not the real one lmfao
Am I real? I guess but I don’t feel real. Kinda doing the motions
Cash asking the Deep questions
So Curious, Does anyone have a suggest world for Male avatars. Everywhere I go tons and tons of females. I just don't want to be a anime character / tv show character. I just feel like an butt when I show up someone starts talking to me about a character that I know really nothing about it.
am i existing
Yes, I use readyplayer.me/vrchat, i uploaded a selfie (but you don't have to), and now I have a normal male avatar that looks like me, same face with several different outfits for church, work (I work from home in VRC), casual, etc
thanks will look into
If you go to the channel #avatar-search-old I will drop a photo of what mine looks like
sorry, #avatar-showcase
just checked it. awesome going to try that site.
anyone wanna do a one piece rp dm me if so
vrc username: NotSolo10
I have a idea, does anyone want to play car tag in this vrchat world, We have a tager and the victims. The tager tags the victim and they are then transported back to spawn by the tager. Then the tager goes back out to hunt someone and it goes on until the last person is found, The next round the first person found is it try not to change avatars to much and choose one vehicle
even better make everyone use a specific avatar designed for this occasion one for a 'victim' and one for the tagger
the oculus plattform is more stable? all of my friends who have an oculus headset (CV1, Rift S, Quest, Quest 2) have constantly problems, crashing software, crashing drivers, sound not working, microphone not working, etc.
While I've never heard from someone having anything problematic with steamvr
my quest 1 recently likes to lose tracking a LOT
- insane controller analog stick drift
Interesting they probably pushed out a shitty update lol
well, than they have to push out constantly shitty updates, because those things didn't improve since over a year (since I'm interested in VR)
Yeah it’s resource heavy, lacks Asynchronous Timewarp, Steam isn’t great at making VR software to begin with, and doesn’t support some basic stuff. It’s not terrible, and there’s a few benefits to steam right in specific ways. I just personally don’t think the few benefits outweigh the cost of not having Oculus
well, I don't have any problems and have great performance. And I've never heard of those points you pointed out. The only thing I've heard are complaints about the oculus software, also from people who had different headsets.
when you use an oculus headset to play steamvr it has to go through some processing I dont understand to go to oculus vr to convert to steam vr and it takes performance
Inside out tracking is terrible. Facebook is known for collecting and selling user info to the extreme. Exclusives? What exclusives? You can at oculus games on other headsets as well. Support is terrible. They also don't honor the warranty, don't fix firmware or software bugs unless it hinders the store or makes the headset unusable visually (they leave audio bugs) I say this as someone who has used oculus since the cv-1 released
It is an awesome headset from the surface but so many underlying issues
I'd still recommend it hands down if someone already has Facebook account
Or doesn't care about their privacy
for reference I've used the cv-1 and quest for several hours and the rift s for over 1k
I’ve owned many headsets and only had a single issue with any of my Oculus line. They were quick to fix it. Now the issues with my Index are another story, but I won’t bother because that’s called “anecdotal evidence”. You weren’t there.m, so it’s not important. Yeah I used to use the novelty headsets but my index is sitting in a closet in my home office. The resolution is noticeably worse i#on my index and the screen door is off putting when I’m trying to read small text. Because I work from home in VRChat I need controllers that have good battery. The index or vive last a respectable 4-6 hrs on a single charge. My Oculus, with about 8-10hrs a day of use, last a week on a single charge.
What kind of alien tech batteries are you using?
The oculus line is the real workhorse of VR right now. I mean fanboy/girl stuff aside, there’s a reason they’re outselling other headsets combined and it’s not the fancy commercials. You can tell they’re highly invested in building the meta verse.
when i used my oculus rift cv1... they lasted like 40 hours
The cv1 is awesome
The oculus products use rechargeable AA batteries. So after about a week of 8hr a day use, they die
I know that.....
It's just how long the batteries last you
And it takes me less than 90 seconds to change them and put the others in the charger, so like another week
This of course depends on the AA recharable battery brand.
I go through two batteries a day
Yikes, with oculus?
You must be using either defective or cheap rechargeable batteries.
Nope
2 days? my batteries lasted like 1-2 weeks playing like 6 hours a day almost
I've tried many brands
Idk, in 6.5 years in VR I’ve not heard of that. I’d get rechargeable for one, and two get a good brand. I think I bought mine for $15 at Best Buy 3 years ago, and they came with 4 batteries and charger. Those still work fine and last about a week
I have the most use with Energizer and Duracell
They haven't deminished in how long they last
I know index users that go a whole day and and sleep with the controllers and they're only dead when they wake up
I'm saying mine haven't deminished
Yeah my index lasts about 4-6 hours on a charge of heavy use in VRC
My oculus lasts about a week on a single charge
Of heavy use
Hmmm 🤔
You have a quest 2?
Myself and any other rift s users I've talked to have the same issue as me
Yeah I’ve never heard of it before. My rift cv1 still works, and I liked it for what it was back then. I have a rift S and quest 1/2
I used Tenavolts AA rechargeable batteries I bought from Amazon for my Rift S controllers . Besides me getting unlucky with a defective battery and it being a company from a certain country the batteries themselves lasted for around 2-4 days with non-defective batteries. The defective one only lasted 1 day at most. Each play session was between 3-5 hours.
I have an index coming in soon and I might be getting a quest 2 for development and to show friends vr
You’re gonna love that Quest 2! The index is neat too as a novelty, but you’ll notice the difference in quality of the screen and resolution right away
I already have a Facebook account so it's to late for me to care on that front. I love the idea of being able to travel with VR
The index was comfy I guess, when I used it. If it was a bit sharper I’d still use it I guess, but my fav is the Quest 2
The quest 2 120hz is only for quest link right?
I like signing into FB, I don’t mind. I don’t want them to waste 4billion on Research a d Development just to make something I won’t buy. I don’t mind and I like messaging in FB while in VR
Also the quest tracks calories and other stuff
No
The 120hz is on airline and Virtual Desktop too
And it’s supported by the standalone operating system, but not many compatible games yet
The menu is 90hz for sure
What's the standard refresh rate
90 is min
But I use it with my gaming PC so I get 120hz in everything
If I use VRChat with steam, I get 70-90fps, if I use Oculus VRChat I get 120hz (Asynchronous Time Warp is wonderful)
You'd be getting much lower on standalone if they used pc assets

that should be a thing
great idea
