Hi

[rancid jewel]

install vrcx

log in, go to your profile, go to your avatars, find your avatar, click rename.

[inland fiber]

i need someone to help with my account, i was banned for "violating vrchats naming policy" but i've had the same name since march 2018 and i haven't received an email about my ban so some chat mods or admin care to talk to me because i can't even get on the website to go to support so if someone can guide me the right way that would be lovely

[noble depot]

Send in a ticket via #moderation-reports - you don't need to log in to send in tickets o:

[inland fiber]

thank you i somehow didn't see that

[ruby needle]

Just to add/clarify.
Even if you had your name for years, it doesn't automatically mean that it has to have been fine before.
It's rather that nobody has reported it before.
So having had the name for a while doesn't mean anything.

[heady shore]

anyone wanna play vr chat rn

[grave haven]

There are more than 50,000 people online, I recommend hopping into a random public world and try meet people there instead.

[heady shore]

i need people for a yt vid @grave haven so that why

im asking

if i can get alot of people

it would be good

[inland fiber]

if the name is offensive yes you're correct but it wasn't.
also to clarify the UI seems to have broken and falsely banned a lot of people with similar names to mine so far
i have counted 5 other accounts similar to mine being banned so something unrelated to us must've happened
do you know if the name policy JUST changed or something?

[neat falcon]

what was the name

[inland fiber]

same as my discord name

that's it

[lost stone]

Dead chat XD ?

[frank silo]

Damn bro hahahahahaha you got them good hahahahahaha

[lost stone]

It was a question

[frank silo]

Damn bro that was a great question hahahaha

[lost stone]

Ty Ty

A sputter of life before the silence falls

[heady shore]

Anyone wanna play vrc

[hollow ingot]

Have you already gone to random (popular) public worlds?

[stoic gull]

does vrchat actually have a record of banning people who use crasher avatars? just want to know if i should actually bother trying to report one or just move on if i happen to meet one

[ruby needle]

If you properly report a person with suitable and conclusive evidence it's ofc. going to be handled.

If you have people claim VRChat doesn't do anything, then it's mainly from people who do not know how to properly report

A ticket purely containing "XYZ crashed me" doesn't cut it.
A screenshot alone can also be too loose on it's own, it's always recommendet to include the output log with it for example.

[stoic gull]

im assuming quest has logs that appear after a crash i can screenshot right?

[ruby needle]

I don't think you have log's on the quest that you can get.

However, you should still file the report.

It's not a "100% needed" thing, but it's highly recommended if you can just grab it and attach it too.

[hollow ingot]

A streaming application with an instant-replay feature should make evidence relatively easy... assuming it doesn't crash too.

Maybe a 2nd PC can be a workaround, but that's effort

[small smelt]

casually moving to general 2

[stoic gull]

does quest have a feature like that? i know it can record but im not sure if it has a "clip" feature like the windows gaming bar has where you can take the last 30 seconds and save that

[hollow ingot]

Haven't heard of it... 😨

[vocal shard]

I like your pfp

[brave venture]

Random question to anyone willing to answer

If I were to run wirelessly a Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop on a computer that has a 770 GTX graphics card, how bad would the damage be?

[autumn sandal]

a 770 F

[brave venture]

I see

How long would the card last?

Or at least an estimate

[pliant epoch]

A GTX 770... I highly doubt you would get above 10 FPS.

[vocal shard]

Great answer

[pliant epoch]

Do you mean performance or lifespan?

[brave venture]

Lifespan

Fair

[pliant epoch]

Brand new: 5-7 years on average. Though it's already very obsolete.

[brave venture]

Including the heavy weight of vr as well?

[pliant epoch]

Not even close to being capable of running VR.

[brave venture]

Well.... I think I am currently doing so

[pliant epoch]

A GTX 770 could not run VR well at all if its life depended on it.

Lol that makes me wonder what their CPU is. Maybe 1-3 gen intel or AMD FX.

[graceful pewter]

a Intel Celeron processor/s

[brave venture]

Give me a sec

[hollow ingot]

Intel Atom

[brave venture]

AMD Fx 8350 eight core

[pliant epoch]

Lol called it.

[brave venture]

I am

[pliant epoch]

A 10 year CPU still running...

[brave venture]

But by golly it works

[graceful pewter]

at this point you would probably be better off just using a quest 2 stand alone

[pliant epoch]

That whole computer is in need of retirement(at least in terms of being VR capable).

[graceful pewter]

like maybe it could be used to run Unity to upload Quest avatars

[brave venture]

I see

It can

it also could without one

Am I wrong to say that my computer has been to the stone age and back?

[pliant epoch]

Not yet you need the GTS 450 to make that claim AKA the most commonly used GPU die for scam graphics cards (typically GTX 1050 Tis and GTX 1060s).

[brave venture]

I mean, I have played games without a graphics card

Minecraft and VRChat specifically

Also this is the second 770 I've had, so I think I need to get a new graphics card and probably a new CPU, right?

[pliant epoch]

You need a new CPU and GPU.

[brave venture]

Should I also change the pc case?

[pliant epoch]

Provided the case provides sufficient airflow(and fits your aesthetic appeal) and fits your motherboard(and CPU cooler, and GPU) (which you'll need to get since you're replacing the CPU) Probably not.

[brave venture]

Two words, DVD Drive

[zenith sentinel]

oh dvd drives have shattered my flow when messing with pcs so many times

its almost like they design them fully aware and willing to take up as much room as possible

[pliant epoch]

Just go all in and buy a full tower case(don't actually do this it's typically a waste of money, except for special use case scenarios).

[brave venture]

I see

[zenith sentinel]

there is a lot of cool looking cases that are worth the money but airflow is usually a huge concern

[zenith sentinel]

pcpartpicker customer reviews are all i really need, they usually critic the airflow or complement it, theyre pretty accruate and my go-to

[brave venture]

That's a good website

[zenith sentinel]

pcpartpicker is honestly such a good idea, they execute it so well

if i think of my best go-to website for shopping(with context for pcs), its ALWAYS pcpartpicker

[noble depot]

speaking of PC shopping, avoid UserBenchmark like the plague, use something like PassMark instead

[meager solstice]

I mean my opinion userbenchmark isn’t always perfect but it’s a “general” idea on parts and performance of ur system

Not saying it’s perfect far from it but it is what it is

[noble depot]

nnnn they're pretty terrible imo lol
they have a weirdly heavy Intel bias, they test their own vague "effective FPS" metric in benchmarks, and a couple of their reviews have some pretty spicy comments complaining about other reviewers not doing things 'right' lmao

their janky benchmarking system also claims that the Intel Core i3-9350KF is 2% faster than the Intel Core i9-9980XE, among other issues

[meager solstice]

So the intel based thing was caused when they redid the calculations for the cpus (for some reason)

[noble depot]

their 11900k review is especially interesting

with such fun quotes as "At every release, AMD’s marketers coordinate narratives to ensure another feast of blue blubber." lmao

[meager solstice]

lmao

I mean it’s far from perfect but I think it’s still a decent tool to use

[noble depot]

eeeh personally I don't recommend it

[meager solstice]

Still gotta do research

[noble depot]

other benchmark sites def aren't perfect either, but at least they don't go on weird tantrums about other reviewers lmao

[meager solstice]

They use to be better, slowly going so hill

[queen phoenix]

I have a question about merging accounts. If you had uploaded avatars on both old and new accounts, what happens? Does it keep both My Creation lists, or does it keep the new account's My Creation list alone?

[meager solstice]

Well….. u cannot upload to a steam/oculus account

Do u mean favoriting models? @queen phoenix

[queen phoenix]

oh

[meager solstice]

If ur talking about favorites transferring the new vrc account must not have anything added to it, or it won’t transfer

[small smelt]

[swift prism]

Who wanna vr?

[vocal shard]

What do I keep getting crashed by trust users man

[hidden elbow]

What's everyone's opinion on private worlds and ppl accessing them?

[gritty ibex]

e

[frank silo]

Wym ppl accessing them?

[hidden elbow]

You can access private worlds

[frank silo]

That's a shitty thing to do

I mean it's private for a reason

[twin fractal]

?? confused. why is this an opinion topic

[karmic rose]

Something that is private, can be shared with others. Just like an unlisted YouTube video. If you have the link (world ID) or the author provided it to you, you can go and view it. Just like an unlisted YouTube video. But just like an unlisted YouTube video, it's not shown publicly or in search or pulls up on the website without a direct link.

I'm confused why that would be an issue. If you want to totally not accessible by anyone. Don't upload it.

[frank silo]

Right, there's different settings for it friends only friends+ things like that. I assume screeb talking about friends only private instances

And accessing them through a modded client somehow

[karmic rose]

You can make a private world friends plus, friends, private, whatever, if you have the link of course. What are u talking about. Modded client doesn't make them accessible, that's nonsense

Private world = no different than Unlisted YouTube video. They act the same. It's private because it's not publicly listed. Not because nobody at all can ever go there.

[frank silo]

I used to think a lot of things were nonsense but the internet has taught me where's there's a will there's a way

[karmic rose]

Lmfao

[hot idol]

has anyone notice the bones in vrchat are moving by them self

[ruby needle]

Unless you have a Physbone combonent on an IK bone, that shouldn't happen

[hot idol]

i see every ones bones moving by themselfs there going alittle crazy

just started when i got back on today

[karmic rose]

Probably means from bad auto conversion. An easy one to see this is with virtually any Kon avatar. They're all broken now. The bones won't stop moving with the conversion. They just drift around endlessly like liquid never coming to a stop.

[noble depot]

i now have the phrase "liquid bones" stuck in my head, thank you

non-newtonian bones

[peak mauve]

liquid bones... that's when you drink too much milk?

[karmic rose]

xD basically tho

Its kinda a bummer. I hope that gets improved. The base Kon prefab from Midori doesn't auto convert at all and the bones are so god awful to look at cuz they never stop moving so virtually every Kon is broken right now.

[neat falcon]

it doesnt take too much to fix

the autoconvert for it is really bad though i will say

makes ur tail and ears look like one of those door stopper things

[karmic rose]

Course not. But regardless, I was just mentioning an example of a broken model from bad auto conversion in relation to what he was saying

[neat falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/boring-fun-door-stopper-gif-5908317

[karmic rose]

Thing is, like many Kons won't be updated ever again. So one can only hope for improvements to the auto conversion or they're basically just dead avatars. Including my dozens of Kons that I'm now waiting out hoping for improvements to the conversion or I'll just have to make them private

[neat falcon]

true yea

[karmic rose]

Not even. They drift around slowly without virtually any movement giving the impression they're moving on their own. It's like a endless slow liquid movement.

[neat falcon]

oh? mine only did that after i removed the curves from the push and momentum

[karmic rose]

I'm purely talking about auto converted Kons. The same effect is visible using the base Kon prefab off Booth and the auto conversion in the SDK with no changes

Course it's easy to fix if you edit it yourself. But that's not what I was talking bout

[ruby needle]

My Maid ones also do that for the arm sleeves which are on IK bones and irrelevant if auto or manual setup.

[hushed salmon]

Interesting

[unique widget]

just a question but does removing a majority amount of friends lower ur rank?

[pliant epoch]

It can lower your rank.

[unique widget]

dang, no wonder. alright thanks

[karmic rose]

Yeah. But don't worry, it will go back up. Rank is pretty pointless. It's better imo to have a friends list with people actually important to you. Not just randoms you don't care about to inflate your numbers.

[unique widget]

yeah ur right, removed about 300 so called friends for many reasons, one big one being that they never came online ever again. only kept like 7 at the end

[karmic rose]

Yes. I do the same. Using vrcx you can sort by last login and anyone who hasn't logged in, in 6+ months I remove.

Went from thousands to like 60ish. Feels nice to be able to be on blue all the time and only have people I actually enjoy joining on me. Course. I didn't loose rank because I'm pretty heavily maxed out. But like I said, rank just doesn't matter. Once you're able to upload content. It's pretty pointless.

[unique widget]

yeah and as far as i can tell, you can also increase ur rank by purchasing the subscription

[karmic rose]

Well, a small, one time boost. But yea.

[karmic rose]

I had a huge chunk. Was like 2.5-3k people. I'm personally not letting that ever happen again. Now I just ignore fr and only friend people after numerous meetings. I just tell people I play with UI off and didn't see it. Anyone who begs for it def just gets ignored. I always tried to be nice, people saying how much they liked my world then sending me a fr. So I accept it to be kind. But then never see them again or they stop playing vrc.

[karmic rose]

I was basically the same. Ended up always being on red. Now I'm always on blue. The people ony list are people I enjoy and want to be around.

[karmic rose]

Yeah man. Make a chill environment for yourself. Vrc is a great way to relax, come vibe with me in adrift sometime, it's always chill. Very relaxed and accepting people.

[fresh willow]

Man I want my account to be unlocked already....

I think it screwed them up because I played VRchat for a short while, then one day i can't log in and say my account got locked.

I got a new router so i think they may have mistaken about someone else logging in.

hopefully I get this resolved before I set up my new valve index.

[fresh garnet]

Once upon a time: https://medium.com/vrchat/mybp-maybe-youve-been-pwned-30a4809ad5e1

VRChat changed their password security, and locked accounts of people whose passwords were deemed overused or leaked.

i think so, i dont see it anymore

still see legendary

[tranquil arrow]

Yeee All my Veteran Friends are now Trusted

[vocal shard]

yes

[cedar abyss]

Vet and Legend are both gone

[tranquil arrow]

I mean Legendary aren't really a Rank as far as I know :v

[grizzled gust]

but why

[cedar abyss]

Cause it was never used for anything anyway

[tranquil arrow]

Don't have any Legendary Friends so can't check that

[grizzled gust]

legend is gone too

[twin fractal]

I still see em

[tranquil arrow]

Hugh You might want to refresh

[twin fractal]

sadge

[vocal shard]

There's really no point to them if you can only see them through clients

[tranquil arrow]

Yeah That's what I think but apparently they still went through all the trouble removing them so xD

[vocal shard]

You know it's fine, there's always cut content that gets lost in games

[tranquil arrow]

Yeee

[elder cloud]

I feel I pulled some monkey's paw crap with vrc lately.

on the plus, I haven't been instantly mocked for being British, but on the low my lobbies are nothing but samey sounding scantily clad anime people :(

genuinely I wish there was more variety in people's avis other than hypersexualised anime people or default avatars

[left anvil]

@sharp saddle it still didnt work

i went to like 8 rooms for atleast 1 hour

[sharp saddle]

And?

[left anvil]

wdym and

whats that supposed to mean

[vocal shard]

Hello

[vague wing]

Random question, y’all know how some vrchat dancers can do hand stands and stuff right, my question is..how the heck do they keep their headsets on

[pliant epoch]

It's possible they tighten their VR headsets temporarily.

[vague wing]

I’ve tried to do that, and to no avail it fails 😭 maybe I’m not tightening it enough, although I do have a super small head-

[pliant epoch]

It might just be your super small head.

I can do it though I also might use tape eventually as a safeguard.

[vague wing]

Straight up roasted me jokes- but I’ll probably figure it out lol

[sharp saddle]

I said it's not time based.

Spending X amount of time won't get you anywhere. You have to actually socialize and make friends.

[pliant epoch]

It's always a possibility. For me I have to tighten my VR headset to the point where I'll start to get a headache within 10 minutes unless I loosen it within those 10 minutes though this could just be due to the HTC Vive Cosmos headstrap design.

[inland drift]

hey you guys 🙂

[vague wing]

Heya!

[vocal shard]

Hi

Im bored

😫

[inland drift]

i think i met you in a world @vocal shard

[vocal shard]

Rlly?

[inland drift]

yes

[vocal shard]

I went on VR chat Sunday

[inland drift]

or i think

[vocal shard]

that was the first time in like a year

I haven't played in a while

[inland drift]

oh shoot nvm your not the person lol

[vocal shard]

Oof

I think im gonna play again Friday

[inland drift]

but nice to meet you lol

[vocal shard]

nice to meet u too

[vocal shard]

Do u want to play with me on vrc friday?

[inland drift]

[vocal shard]

Ok

[inland drift]

its getting crazy in the other room

[autumn sandal]

Like always

[fallen roost]

alright I'm going to calmer chat

I got my PC build

and some pringle

anyone like pringle

[vocal shard]

Who the hell doesn't like Pringles?

[swift epoch]

Im scared to text in the vrc discord cause I fell like I might say something wrong and get banned here then my vrc acc will get banned prob

[placid umbra]

That's... not really how it works

The rules are pretty straightforward, you'll do great

[loud scaffold]

Vrchat isn’t working for me

Hey im doing a Presentation at my university and Phantom Sense related to VR is one of the Keypoints, it would be helpfull if you could share me your experience if you have Phantom Sense or felt it once.

General Questions are:

When did it Start (How many Days/Weeks/Months have you played VR or did a specific event was bound to the starting of the Phantom Sense)
How much time has passed since you realized you have it?
How old are you approximately ? arround 20? 30? 40? just a rough number?
Did it got Stronger or Weaker(How fast and any clue what caused it?)
Are there any Circumstances where you feel it more Intense or less Intense
What way would you describe the Feeling?
How often does it appear?
Has is become a Problem once or in General or did it got Kinda Essential for your VR Experience?
Any Special Event that triggered your Phantomsense or that has been caused by your Senses?
Have you ever passed out by Pain or the wierd Feeling or did you ever took a Short or Longer break to recover from it?

If you dont wanna text it in a public chat its also fine to just text me private 🙂

[fossil idol]

[normal brook]

anyone know what is going on i cannot get into vr chat???

[meager solstice]

What does it say?

[vocal shard]

Any one wanna play vrchat with me

[bleak remnant]

how are we supposed to tell who no lifes this game if the veteran and legend ranks are gone lmao

[magic gate]

easy - if they have silly unicode/zalgo in their username and/or bio

[bleak remnant]

ew

I feel lile they should fix the number of children on their game before they start removing ranks entirely

[magic gate]

nah - the ranks serve a purpose

just not the ones that were removed

[bleak remnant]

well after a while practically everyone is a trusted user lmao hardly matters anymore

[magic gate]

they're only really there just for the safety ranking

most people would usually just show/hide avatars for people as they interact anyway

[dire thicket]

Is it just me, or since vrchat started more adamantly preventing the usage of vpns has other people experience slower connections even while maintaining a almost similar ping?

I don't use a vpn in-game much, however since they've implemented a vpn block. My connection (without VPN) has gone to shit, world downloads, avatar downloads, movie loading, video loading all gone to hell.

[daring sedge]

just get better internet?

[waxen quail]

Hi

[dawn vapor]

v

[noble depot]

hi! c:

[noble depot]

Try using Cloudflare Warp?
While VPNs as a whole have not been blocked, some ASNs have been, which some VPN connection locations fall under - some will work, others won't connect at all

popular VPNs probably won't work

[tacit plank]

ranks deleted :(

[rancid jewel]

only the unused ones

[waxen quail]

Why?

[wind estuary]

makes time machine to go back when there was no rank

also because Veteran and Legendary ranks you couldn’t see Anywas and have no buffs why have them

[waxen quail]

How do you lose your ranks?

[sharp saddle]

By being blocked/kicked multiple times.

[waxen quail]

Ah

[sharp saddle]

If you're referring to the API ranks, though.

[noble depot]

being kicked, blocked, muted, banned, mass-unfriended, etc

[sharp saddle]

That's just... like, insta-gib.

[latent widget]

Sneeze

[tacit plank]

a bunch were just deleted

[noble depot]

vrc discord instagib game when

[rancid jewel]

all of them were unused

[tacit plank]

No I was happy being vet + legend

[noble depot]

those ranks led to elitism and rumors, and they served no purpose

so yeet

[tough tree]

Is there a bot that actually goes into lobbies and bans people?

[sharp saddle]

No?

If there is, it's a client user.

[noble depot]

no, that's old disinfo

and note, a modified client user can't ban anyone, damage your computer/Quest/etc, that's also misinfo

worst they can do is crash your game

[tacit plank]

ranks werent bad, people were bad

[rancid jewel]

ranks caused people to be bad

[frank silo]

Nah pretty sure those people were just shitty from the get go

[rancid jewel]

the ranks helped them to be more shitty

[magic hill]

I used to be a veteran sold.. user in VRC, then I took an arrow in the knee.

[sharp saddle]

You kids have it easy nowadays.

[magic hill]

[tough tree]

I’ve heard they can ban themselves

[tough tree]

Yeah sorry the devs made it harder to trace someone’s ip

[tough tree]

My friend said they saw someone streaming it and seeing someone banning someone

[noble depot]

again, disinfo

moderation does not work like that lol

[tough tree]

I’ve also heard of a loud audio that lags you or makes it so you can’t hear. Is that real?

[noble depot]

that's an audio crasher, and is stopped by setting up your safety settings

[tough tree]

I usually only chill in friends+ and stuff so I don’t cross a lot of bad people anymore

[tough tree]

My friend said they had the avatar hidden though and saying it was coming through their mic

[noble depot]

that's also disinfo, then

[tough tree]

How often do you play?

[noble depot]

almost every weekday

have been playing since ~2017-2018, but not as often back then

[tough tree]

Alright

[open crescent]

My friend said there is a secret avatar that steals your soul

He said it happened to a friend of a friend and he's never been the same, now he only eats/drinks bacon milkshakes and nothing else

[noble depot]

are they milkshakes made with bacon, or milkshakes made of bacon

[open crescent]

[noble depot]

blended bacon goo

[open crescent]

@turbid dragon which one was it

[twin fractal]

had a similar experience. friend of mine got hit with an avatar that makes you infertile

[open crescent]

[turbid dragon]

Milkshakes with bacon

[open crescent]

[noble depot]

if you take bacon bits and blend enough lard in, it could reach a milkshake-esque consistency

why am I allowed access to a keyboard

[vocal shard]

Oh boy I know what's for dinner tonight 👌

[vocal shard]

An Australian is displeased with the old ranks being removed

[ruby needle]

Which ranks?

Trusted was and still is the highest rank

[vocal shard]

Veteran and legendary

[ruby needle]

Those where not ranks

[vocal shard]

They were

[ruby needle]

No

[vocal shard]

Not anymore

[ruby needle]

They just where unused API Tags

Not ranks

[vocal shard]

Well it took a long time to get legendary. Even if nobody can see it still felt like a personal achievement

[hollow ingot]

And then... Snap!

[vocal shard]

Just expressing my discontent with the change. Very very discontent

[ruby needle]

You literally only had any visibility of it with 3rd party tools

Absolutely nothing changed in the actual game.

[noble depot]

you couldn't get legendary, either

[vocal shard]

True that it has not changed the game. I still feel unhappy about the removal.

[noble depot]

Veteran was obtainable, Legendary wasn't

[vocal shard]

It was

[noble depot]

it wasn't lol

[vocal shard]

Untill they changed it -_-

[noble depot]

legendary is a community-given name to an API tag that was given out to a handful of players, a l o n g time ago

[vocal shard]

Those who got it got to keep it in background as a nod to their history

[noble depot]

Veteran was obtainable for a long time, until recently

both of them were never used for anything, and are now removed

[vocal shard]

We noticed they were removed

[hollow ingot]

And now we're all just... normies?

[noble depot]

people assign value to them and get elitist and/or classist about it, and they were unused anyway

so, yeet

[vocal shard]

All ranks are like that. It was a hidden rank

[ruby needle]

NOT A RANK

[vocal shard]

It was practically a hidden rank although not technically a rank sure

[ruby needle]

It was a API Tag

Not a rank.

[vocal shard]

Look I don't need to change anyone's opponions, or explain why I liked it. All I am doing is simply voicing that I'm sad it is now gone.

[vocal shard]

And trusted user rank is just a bunch of 1s and 0s at the end of the day. It was a piece of the puzzle that together painted the representation of your vrc career

[ruby needle]

Trusted is a rank you can clearly see in game

Because it's actually part of the ranking system. (Thus a rank)

[vocal shard]

I feel like your intentionally missing the point I was trying to make

[magic reef]

Hello there! I was wondering if theres anyone willing to introduce me to VR chat, i'm a pretty chill guy but a bit shy about getting into vr chat. I've heard it can be tough to find people to talk to when you still have the visitor rank.

[sharp saddle]

PC or Quest?

[magic reef]

I've got a rift s so pc!

[sharp saddle]

Hmmm... I might give it a go.

Sucks they largely got rid of the Hub world, that's where most new people wind up.

[magic reef]

I tried it once a while a go, joined a random world but nobody seemed to reply when i said anything, guess it was beceause i was a visitor

how do i add you?

[sharp saddle]

Menu > Social > search bar on the top right > type in my name.

[magic reef]

Will do!

wold on, having some tracking issues. Just ot this replacement laptop sinse my keyboard needs to be replaced

[hot idol]

is the new bones not working at the moment i cant move anything

[magic reef]

i sent a request, should be the same name as on discord

[magic reef]

did you get it?

[stark axle]

im unkickable

dont test

[sharp saddle]

I got it, yeah. Sorry, had to step away.

It was supposed to be a rank, but never ended up being one. I have played vrchat since way before trust ranks were a thing and I have never seen a veteran or legend rank ingame

[fossil idol]

They’re useless. Theres no value in them and there probably never was. Instead of being respected users. All they did was brag about a role that was invisible. Its an old rank that was replaced by Trusteds n Knowns

So whats the point of feeling so sad over a damn Role thats never gonna be seen by anyone except for other veterans where you brag to each other about it

[open crescent]

You missed this:

However, the implementation wasn’t perfect and a bit out of scope considering the purpose of the Trust and Safety System, so we’re pulling it back into design.

They can identify you by seeing if you were an user in the weeks when Veteran n legendary were made bruh…

You say its also to identify you right. Well for what? Its a game about chatting n exploring worlds n meeting all over the world. Theres no special shit to offer old ppl

It was really just a giant circle jerk as akitp said

[fossil idol]

Friendship is the end goal of vrc. Thats the thank you note!

Finding people to relate to with your issues and entertainment!

[noble depot]

it's been made clear that the API can and will change, likely without prior warning

as those have been deprecated tags that haven't been used in forever, it should've been clear that they were ready to be removed at any time

not entirely sure why it took this long frankly, but 🤷

[snow wagon]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[noble depot]

sure, but that's..kinda on them for placing value behind a nigh-invisible API tag that was bound to be removed at any time

to see that tag, they either need to look in the API/use an API-accessing tool, which will probably have a warning somewhere about the API changing, or be a modified client user

[open crescent]

Agreed

[tacit plank]

Why does VRCX sometimes give me a "too many requests" error? I thought the communication went the other way, as a feed thingy

[ruby needle]

Uhm

That something you should ask VRCX, not here.

[tacit plank]

There's 35K people here who are generally knowledgable, so I like just throwing question out :P

[fresh garnet]

Also don't spam or overload the API.

[raw fulcrum]

what was the reason again, why Unity 2019 is better than Unity 2020 ?

[rancid jewel]

unity 2020 something something fucked up shaders

they do that stuff different in 2020

[raw fulcrum]

And what's with 2021? The LTS for 2021 is out now

[rancid jewel]

i don't think skipping a version is a good idea

[noble depot]

that's a big reason why the game didn't move to 2020 LTS, among others

[rancid jewel]

that's one of the reasons they jumped to 2019 instead of all the way to 2020

[tacit plank]

That what I'd like to avoid, I'm not sure why requests are being send to begin with, I thought I just subscribed to a feed of updates from VRC.
I hope VRC won't get mad if I make more friends than this, already have 200+ online

[fresh garnet]

I had 2700 friends at one point.

[tacit plank]

I'm only on 1050 or so, so I'm probably good for a while. I wonder how many Iris has? They broke VRC at some point if I recall correctly.

[rancid jewel]

i only have 1300 people added
how do you manage that many

[noble depot]

""""only""""

[rancid jewel]

1304 to be exact

[sharp saddle]

1041 here.

[noble depot]

how are y'alls social menus still usable

infinite scrolling :monkas:

[fresh garnet]

I have <600 now.

[rancid jewel]

awesome

[rancid jewel]

mine takes a solid 7 seconds to load on the vrchat site and there's a solid couple seconds of lag when opening my offline list in game

[noble depot]

:pain:

[twin fractal]

<250

[rancid jewel]

if i ever want to fake crash myself to get out of an awkward situation i can just expand my offline list

[open crescent]

The only reason is they wait until the current version is completely dead before updating

2019 will be dead very soon tho

[raw fulcrum]

but if 2020 is horrible because of shader bugs... how about directly skipping 2020 and go to the already finished 2021 LTS ?

[noble depot]

skipping LTS versions is not great

[ruby needle]

In general, you don't Update engines like any normal software.

Specifically not on something already out.

And even less so if that thing is made with user content.

It takes very big consideration, testing and even custom fixes and more eventually to make new steps and not break it all

[open crescent]

It's not bugs, it's just changes, but I think they've already been preparing for this so it will probably not be as big of a problem

[raw fulcrum]

But what happens, if Unity does quit the support for 2020 LTS, before VRChat did even update their game to it?

Unity 2019 is still very new for VRChat - and already very old...

[ruby needle]

LTS has not only planned intervals, but also again doesn't a Game have to constantly keep updating to the newest engine versions

Most games will not switch to a new major version

For good reasons

[raw fulcrum]

but is this the end? Because of 2020 would be a downgrade for VRChat from 2019, is this the end we would never pass any higher unity versions, because 2020 have some ugly bugs ?

even newer version like 2021 or even 2022 have new huge features and performance improvement possibilities...

[ruby needle]

That is a constant thing

2023 after

2024 after

2025 after

You get the idea

If VRChat wiped all content at this point, do you think that'd be worth it?

Major Engine updates are anything but trivial

And games rarely do so while onging.

[raw fulcrum]

I know, but it sounds like 2019 is the last version for VRChat because of 2020 is bad

[ruby needle]

We don't know the future.
But even if that where so

Then it's still VRChat, and still odes it's thing.

[rancid jewel]

it's up to the big dudes in charge to decide what happens

[vocal shard]

How do you turn up the brightness in desktop mode
It's so dark I can't see in some worlds

[raw fulcrum]

did you tried already your monitor brightness settings?

[vocal shard]

That's max

[rancid jewel]

there are no in game brightness settings

[raw fulcrum]

I think Windows itself also has a brightness setting, at least for notebooks if you play on one.

[vocal shard]

Definitely not on a notebook
I'll look into it though

Yep just checked it's also at max

I'll go mess with that next

[raw fulcrum]

is it only on VRChat dark, or on other games to?

[vocal shard]

It's only vr chat

[raw fulcrum]

do you have some start commands in steam for vrchat?

[vocal shard]

Just whether I want to play on VR or desktop

[open crescent]

I'm pretty sure they will update when 2019 does

[vocal shard]

I just turned the gamma up and I can see now

that's why I'm asking, trying to filter those...

thanks for the resource tho!

[burnt depot]

@night void How do you use your skin on pc?

[vocal shard]

Does any one wanna play vrchat

[vocal shard]

Is anyone else having issues going onto vrchat? Says something about my connection but it’s perfectly fine 🤨

[cobalt basalt]

oh so there's an issue by the geniuses at vrchat moderation where a bunch of ips got blocked

alot of people can't play

[noble depot]

spreading misinfo online:

[cobalt basalt]

so the dozens of people joining and saying they can't play means nothing?

[noble depot]

Some ASNs have been blocked, which your IP evidently falls into. Try using Cloudflare Warp, or contact #vrchat-support with your most recent output log, and the details of any methods you've tried to fix the issue with

[noble depot]

never said that, but cool conclusion jumping

[cobalt basalt]

you said i was spreading misinfo

[vocal shard]

Alright, thanks I tried using cloud flare but doesn’t work unfortunately so I’ll try vrchat support

[noble depot]

because it is misinfo - it's not a moderation issue, i.e bans, it's a blocked ASN issue which can be fixed via using Warp or contacting support for further help

[noble depot]

ah kk - hope everything works out! c:

!outputlog

[floral flax]

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

[vocal shard]

same here, it crashes suddenly

Ah, really? Have you tried the vrchat support like the other person said to?

I tried it and it works now

[vocal shard]

lemme do it

Alrighty, hope it works for ya

mhms

[modest wyvern]

My IP was banned today also, submitted a ticket now the waiting begins. Pretty sure my internet provider has a built in proxy so there's nothing I can do to fix that. :\

[noble depot]

Your IP isn't banned, you're likely in a blocked ASN - use Cloudflare Warp, and/or wait on the ticket o:

[fathom cedar]

a lot of ppl are having ip, vpn, Asian issues rn

[cobalt basalt]

truly asian issues

[fathom cedar]

#stopasnhate

[vocal shard]

anyone know why i cant log onto vrchat?

saying "make sure your oculus has a good internet connection then restart vrchat"

[cobalt basalt]

asian issues

[noble depot]

try using Cloudflare Warp? o:

[vocal shard]

not sure what that is

[fathom cedar]

sames

[noble depot]

https://1.1.1.1/

routes your network traffic via some of Cloudflare's routes
similar to a VPN, but a bit different, and seemingly not affected by the ASN blocks

[vocal shard]

okay

[modest wyvern]

Okay, I am just going by what the website said.
"Your IP address (or the block of IP addresses that yours is included in) is currently blocked due to a high amount of malicious activity originating from it."

[noble depot]

yup! that's highly likely to be an ASN block

[vocal shard]

is the thing that i have the same thing?

[fathom cedar]

only in vrchat

[noble depot]

use Cloudflare Warp, or wait on the ticket

[modest wyvern]

Ah I know exactly as much about technology as my grandfather so I'll leave it to the experts at VRC to figure it out 😂

[vocal shard]

i cant pay so im guessing ill just have to wait ig

[noble depot]

cloudflare warp is free

[vocal shard]

oh

the link you sent doesnt work, can you send it in dm maybe?

[fathom cedar]

experts

lol

[noble depot]

google Cloudflare Warp, or head to https://1.1.1.1/ for it's install page

[modest wyvern]

Hey, to me a kindergardener with an Ipad is more of an 'expert' than I am. lol
I don't want to risk messing up my brand new Quest and voiding warranty. ;^^

[vocal shard]

yeah that isnt working

[noble depot]

what specifically isn't working?

[vocal shard]

the link^^

[noble depot]

..yes, but what about it lmao

is the website not connecting, do the install links not work, etc

[vocal shard]

all my tab says is it cant reach the page

[cobalt basalt]

you can try changing your dns manually

[vocal shard]

how do i do that

[noble depot]

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

[cobalt basalt]

or just watch this 2 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocq64xpIT9I

wait

this one shows how to change router dns

don't do that one

[noble depot]

changing it via router or in Windows will work

[fathom cedar]

u have to have a computer science degree to play vrchat now

linus tech tip will help you

[vocal shard]

thanks

[noble depot]

gonna make an easy post to link to, since evidently this is going to be a commonly-asked-about issue lol

If you're seeing a message about a blocked IP or group of IPs and are wondering if you've been IP banned, you haven't! You are very likely in a blocked ASN, i.e group of IPs.
If you're using a VPN, disable it! Otherwise, try using Cloudflare Warp (https://1.1.1.1/). If that doesn't work, I'd recommend contacting #vrchat-support with your most recent output log, and the details of any methods you've tried to fix the issue with o:

Output logs are in the cache location, C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat by default

he​re's a quick FAQ I threw together for this issue:

Unfortunately, there's not much network debugging you can do on a standalone Quest, and you can't (easily) install a VPN on a Quest. Contact support!

• Are VPNs banned?
No, but some VPN connection locations fall within some blocked ASNs. Common VPNs likely won't work at all, uncommon ones might.

• A "blocked group of IPs" sounds like an IP ban to me!
Your IP is not banned, but the ASN it's within is blocked. As a result, if you change your IP (like by using Cloudflare Warp, or using a non-blocked VPN connection location), your IP will fall within a different, unblocked ASN.

• When fix?
That's not something anyone on the Discord would know, especially as it hasn't been officially commented on at the time of writing. ASN blocks in general have been commented on though, and are intentional.

• But I'm not using a VPN!
Unfortunately, your IP is still likely within a blocked ASN. See the instructions above! (Cloudflare Warp, contact support)

note, this is based on my view and experience on the issue, and is not an official VRChat team statement or anything similar.
If an official team statement is made, it will likely be in #announcements, or the official Twitter and/or Medium endpoints

[coral blade]

I just want it fixed bc I had zero issues till today. And it’s kinda stupid

[dim peak]

I can't unfavourite a certain avatar does someone know why?

[noble depot]

that's a common menu bug, which'll clear up on it's own c:

[dim peak]

ok

[remote laurel]

Is anyone else’s avatars bugged

[noble depot]

^

[remote laurel]

No like the actual avatars

They stiff up like a pc screen player

[dim peak]

for me no

[remote laurel]

A select few work but that’s it

[crystal root]

Was there a update or something, cause I can’t unfav avatars, can’t save any new ones, and when I saved avatars on my pc and get on my quest they don’t appear hm.

[night badger]

I cant even load anything

when i try to join a world, it loads me 72kb / 72 kb and sends me straight back to my home. World previews and avatar previews will not load and idk what to do

[sharp saddle]

!cleancache

[floral flax]

You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from config.json if you have it

[night badger]

sent me to the something went wrong world

after clearing

and done the same thing with the loading

[noble depot]

try using cloudflare warp? o:

[night badger]

whats that?

[noble depot]

https://1.1.1.1/
redirects your network traffic via Cloudflare's routes - similar to a VPN, but different, and seemingly not affected by the ASN blocks

[night badger]

thank you, let me try it

[vocal shard]

hello

[noble depot]

hi! c:

[night badger]

it says make sure i have a working connection

[noble depot]

make sure you don't have a VPN enabled, especially alongside Cloudflare Warp
Otherwise, I'd recommend contacting #vrchat-support with your most recent output log, and the details of any methods you've tried to fix the issue with o:

!outputlog

[floral flax]

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

[night badger]

its so weird, it wasnt happening a couple days ago

[ocean ivy]

Surprised we've gotten no news about this. This can't be just a small subset of people but no one else seems to be complaining?

[sharp saddle]

Uh?

Some context would be nice.

[vocal shard]
