quest-general

[floral lagoon]

Very time go into the world keep on taking me back home

[gray kiln]

Try clearing cache or uninstalling and reinstalling the game

If that doesn’t work idk

[spiral grail]

Oh

[gray kiln]

Yeah

If you want good body models check thru gumroad and stuff like that

[floral lagoon]

Okay thanks ☺️

[fresh cargo]

Quest FBT time

[high reef]

just an FYI for you in the future, you don't need to actually t-pose. You can leave your arms down at your sides if you want, the only reason you would actually have to t-pose is if you had trackers on your arms. Tho cool, I haven't seen any quest full body tracking yet!

[fresh cargo]

It actually does have wrist trackers lol

[high reef]

daaaannnnnggg

go off then

musta missed them in the video

[fresh cargo]

The axis don’t show up but they’re definitely there lol

The head tracker is redundant but it’s required for the app sending OSC data to work properly

[haughty coyote]

Stuff like this hurts my brain. Bits and pieces connected to other bits and pieces.

[fresh cargo]

I mean they’re just trackers I strap on, then connect them to my phone with Bluetooth, then just press the stream button to stream motion data to my headset

It’s a really fast and easy setup

[haughty coyote]

Its probably just me then. My head likes to catastrophise stuff like this.

[high reef]

there is a way to set it up with Slime Trackers' system to make it so you can put them in the normal spots

cause also I will say I was technically right about t-posing still if you are using those without slime's software, the entire top half of your tracking is used by the app, but that data doesn't go into vr at all apparently

cause if it is a tracking point in vr, it will show up

unless they really changed it and im totally wrong... lmao

tho I am pretty sure im not

[haughty coyote]

I mean you have to do it away, to assert dominance

[high reef]

...

fair

[fresh cargo]

I turned on head and wrist tracking over OSC so it should work but yeah

Also there is a beta for the app that lets you use the wrist trackers as waist trackers, hopefully that’s part of the main app soon

[high reef]

but like... there isn't a point for wrist and head tracking so vrchat prolly thows it away

head tracking is already covered fully by the headset, and your wrists are covered by the controllers

[fresh cargo]

Prolly, but wrist trackers are for some reason recognized by steam vr

[high reef]

idk

seems legit

[fresh cargo]

Lol

[night sable]

Can someone help I can’t get 120hz on quest 2😭

[fresh cargo]

1. That’s an experimental feature

2. VRC is hard capped at 72 fps

[night sable]

It’s not in experimental for me

And I’m tryna get it on a diffrent game

[near parrot]

Why my avatar weights 14.67 MB, i delete some stuff from it and now WEIGHTS 14.90 VRCHAT EXCUSE ME?

[nimble whale]

Usually comes down to texture compression settings and they can change on import 🙂 if you compress your textures it should make it smaller!

[near parrot]

Everything is compressed already

[small sonnet]

Hi can i ask you quest 2 people a question if i link my quest 2 to my pc how much playtime can i have with my quest 2 linked up and does it charge while you play?

[vestal wraith]

Depends on if you're using C to C or A to C and your motherboard

[small sonnet]

What do u think is best c to c or a to c?

[vestal wraith]

c to c is theoretically more power (as in wattage), depends on your motherboard though

[small sonnet]

Won’t be getting a pc until Christmas time

[high reef]

So then how big and how many textures do you have?

[near parrot]

But Bro i'm not talking about textures i'm talking about the fact that i'm deleting stuff and the avatar weight more everytime i delete something whats the point of asking about textures now?

[high reef]

cause textures almost %100 of the time contribute to the majority of file size

[high reef]

So when I’m talking about textures, I’m not gonna recommend compression since you did that already. I’m saying lower the resolution of the textures

Quest textures should never be really above 2048 by 2048, and really they should generally be 1024 by 1024 or even 512 by 512

[near parrot]

This still not having nothing with my problem xD....

But i know what ur point is and i have that done to all my textures

[high reef]

Isn’t the problem file size?

Cause if not I don’t understand what you are asking lmao

[near parrot]

Read It again

[high reef]

I get you deleted stuff and it technically went up, but I have no idea what you deleted

[near parrot]

Clothing and animations

Less clothes less materiales and textures

Less meshes less polygons, etc etc..

[high reef]

Lmao wack, something somewhere must have been changed when it comes to compression when it was switched to android

cause Unity tracks how you compress things separately between export targets

*build targets is more accurate

[turbid trench]

anyone know if hours on the quest count towards the hours you need to post your own character?

[primal jay]

It isn't hour based.
Just make or migrate your Quest account into a full VRChat account (using a Steam or Quest account to login is akin to at trial account, unless you have migrated, then it is more like a key to your VRChat account) and spend time in VRChat being social, we know that getting friend requests are good for rank, but just being and talking with people in an instance seems to help as well.

[turbid trench]

oh i thought you just needed 10hrs of game time. (yes i have it linked to my steam account with the full vrchat)

If i have to be social im screwed becaue im introverted

[haughty coyote]

If that were the case, you could just sit in a private world for that amount of time (which does not work). Also found that making friends with people who are higher in trust rank helps too. But world hopping does increase as well

[turbid trench]

what if i activate 2fa? does that skip that whole process or??

[haughty coyote]

Nah, that has nothing to do with it. Everyone already has 2fa by requirement anyway

[high reef]

You could do game worlds, I find those help a lot with breaking out some because you aren’t in a place where the only thing to do is talk, there is an actual activity to spark conversation and stupidness

[primal jay]

There is no known minimum you need to do to rank up, it is very vague and ambiguous.

A permanent one-time perk of just getting VRC+ for a single month is rank gain, which is the only real solid way to gain the ability to upload avatars quickly (should bump you up to new user at least, some people get bumped to user, depends on the invisible rank points you have before getting VRC+).

[turbid trench]

yeah ig that would probably be my best stratagy kinda sucks ive been enjoying playing games by myself for ahwile now

[primal jay]

Personally the best way to be social in VRChat is to find a discord server, in your interests, that holds meetups, people go to meetups to meet people, so a very good place to be social.

[turbid trench]

well if that isnt too expensive that might be the best way for me, but like i said i mostly play solo and hardly ever talk so i doubt i have much rank if any.

[primal jay]

VRC+ is 10$ and basically unless you've been blocked and gotten negative rank points, that one time perk should bump you to at least new user, which allows for uploading avatars and private worlds.

[turbid trench]

thats all i want so that works for me, far as i know no one has blocked me or anything

thank you for your help

[haughty coyote]

Are you able to get fbt for a stand alone quest or would you need a pc for it?

[gray kiln]

There’s an app you can use called Viso fbt. It uses ur phone camera and shows you how to set it up.

It’s not the best but it still works

And it’s completely free

[dark lantern]

Why do people be so extra on vr

[jade summit]

Being in vr gets you more immersed ig

[haughty coyote]

Just how it be sometimes

[fathom hollow]

Aight I’ve uh, had this one sudden issue going on.

Hadn’t logged into the game for awhile, so obv I had to enter in my VRchat account and password, the issue came up when I was supposed to get a one time use code that despite me reentering the game multiple times, and even reinstalling it, that for some reason, the one time code doesn’t get sent to my email.

Idk if this is an issue with anyone else but uh, I’d like help

[celest igloo]

Anyone down to dm? I need some advice on smth

[gray kiln]

So the 2 factor authentication thing is what that is and it’s beeen pushed to all accounts i believe if you go to the vrc user support website they can help? Or you can try opening a ticket in here

[calm juniper]

I recommend an app called Driver 4 VR (or something like that). I have an Android phone but I believe they may have an iOS app too if you are on Apple. You just set your phone up somewhere that it can see your full body (if you have a green screen background or sheet to put behind you even better!) and then calibrate by following the simple instructions. That is what I used before I was on PC version with my Quest Pro Headset. Good luck!

[rich pollen]

hello, i have not played vrchat for some time now. I see that drinking night has 0 players. Is there a new place for drinking people?

[last oriole]

Go to public instances and add a bunch of trusted users. Works fast and easy

[haughty coyote]

anyone else having the occasional issue where your quest would just flat out lie to you and say you ran out of memory?

even if you cleared the cash

and it would just kick you back to your homeworld without even letting you join?

[vestal wraith]

memory != storage

[bleak ridge]

Yea💀

Is our shit broken or smth?

[haughty coyote]

It's not referring to storage, it's referring to RAM. Which the quest does not have much of to begin with, let alone vrc taking its share of the pie as well.

[trim dove]

Maybe they should reword that error message and replace "memory" with "RAM" so people don't get confused. I read this multiple times in the last few weeks, people even delete all their apps in hope to get VRChat to run better.

[last oriole]

Ram =random access memory

New Gen is computer illiterate because they all grew up on iPads and phones. It's wild

[empty mural]

Like poking around at our api? You guys did not eat with that

[shadow nebula]

I keep getting this error

[restive ridge]

Yeah same here, I’ve been crashing nearly every 30mins even in a lobby with 1-2 people

[bleak ridge]

Same

I think it’s a Vr chat problem.

[high reef]

It’s a combination of meta’s updates to the quest bloating it’s operating system, some things in the backend of vrc, and poorly optimized avatars and worlds, although worlds to a lesser degree normally because the big ones are well done and the act of making a world is so in depth you are kinda forced to learn some decent optimization

[lusty moth]

Is there a way to check my time on Vrc on quest? All the videos say use the move app but I don’t have that so it won’t have the time

[empty shadow]

By default, I don't think it's removable.
But yes, the Move app has an overlay for your health stats.

[lusty moth]

Oh I don’t have it downloaded. I don’t need to see my Time. Just was wondering. Thanks

[haughty coyote]

[haughty coyote]

Yo I need help

[gray kiln]

Ask what you need help with instead of just saying you need help it makes it easier. Not trying to be rude just lettin ya know

[wise flower]

Odd question, but has anyone els had there main menu slanted when they open it? If so how to do fix it?

[haughty coyote]

Then they always proceed with not following up. Lol

[haughty coyote]

Like vrc or quest home? Might just need to reset or check your horizon settings in vrc.

[wise flower]

VRc

[gray kiln]

Yep 😑

[haughty coyote]

Then I'd start with horizon settings. Might have messed with something on accident. Worst case just uninstall it and see if that fixes it

[wise flower]

Alright ty ^^

[haughty coyote]

Ofc, let me know if that helps!

[wise flower]

Will do

Yep that fixed it

Ty again

[unique osprey]

So, we can't see certain pc avatars I think, even when forcing to view, some avatars won't show. Is there a fix to this or no?

[gray kiln]

Are you on quest or pc?

[unique osprey]

Quest.

Like, I can force show most avatars, but certain pc only avatars won't show even if I force them to

Platform limitation or do I have a setting wrong?

[gray kiln]

Because quest can’t see pc avatars

[unique osprey]

It's only some though?

[gray kiln]

If you can see an avatar it’s quest compatible if you can’t it’s pc

Most avatars are cross platform meaning they were made for both pc and quest but some people don’t convert their Avis to quest therefore you can’t see them

[unique osprey]

I see. I thought I could only see some pc avatars. Thank you.

[haughty coyote]

sweet. glad to help

[haughty coyote]

The only PC avatars you would ever be able to see on Quest are those that are also Quest compatible. PC only are just that. PC only.

[unique osprey]

Just means I'll have to switch to pc. If my computer can handle it

[grave tree]

Ok so I went to change my password on Vrchat and it totally deleted my whole meta account is that normal? I don't even know how I managed that

[haughty coyote]

Yeah, thats not normal. They arent even tied together, so no idea how you managed that.

[high reef]

you need a fully vr ready pc, cause when you hook the quest up to the pc, the pc does all the work except for tracking

[unique osprey]

What would it mean to make the pc fully vr?

I've played a handful of other less intensive vr games on it already

[gray kiln]

Then you’ll most likely be able to run vrc

What they mean is some pcs are vr ready and others can’t really run it

[unique osprey]

yeah like there are some vr games that are only on steam so i just linked it and play them on pc via the quest

[terse matrix]

i have a question for my pc players with a quest headset... so i use fbt with index and i decided on getting 2 more 2.0 base stations how exactly do i set that up?

[haughty coyote]

Good evening, I need help from someone with knowledge of drawing.
If anyone is interested, talk to me in private.

[solid finch]

My friend is trying to use Steam VR for his Oculus Quest 2, but his base stations won’t connect to Steam VR.
They are green and connected to each other, however they simply won’t show up as connected to the PC.
He’s tried many options.

He also has 3 trackers, but when plugging the USB dongle into the computer, it will not search for them. He has tried multiple USB ports and such.

He can connect his Quest to Steam VR and uses it perfectly fine. It’s simply the base station and trackers do not seem to be connecting.

Any ideas?

Pls ping me if you know anything :)?

[errant canyon]

I'm pretty sure when you mix headsets like that, you need extra software to link it together for steam

[cerulean plank]

Can someone buy me vrc+ ill play with you

[tulip magnet]

your friend misunderstands what base stations do or how they work. they aren't "cameras" or "sensors", they are laser projectors with spinning mirrors. they do not talk to the PC in any way for normal operation

this video should cover pretty much everything https://youtu.be/PBZwX3iwaMY?si=ZINF5-awjM510rD1

once you install OVR Space calibrator and you pair the trackers, the base stations will show up if a tracker can see them

[haughty coyote]

Hey

If u need help talk to me

I do it all the time on quest 2

[pastel sage]

does someone knows how to fix the “run out of memory ram” issue?

[haughty coyote]

Yeah

[pastel sage]

how

[haughty coyote]

So rn I’m taking a shit so I can’t really show u add me as a freind and after I shower and shit I’ll show u

[pastel sage]

no

[haughty coyote]

Ok ur problem

[gray kiln]

Almost everyone knows what the smooth tracking is.

[haughty coyote]

Not everyone

Trust me

[solar thunder]

If u find out could u tell me I’ve been having that same problem🧍🏽‍♀️

[solid finch]

It won’t let him even begin to pair the trackers when he plugs the USB part in, it’s like they just won’t register on the computer. He’s tried multiple ports and stuff

Recently had to return a whole Index headset for the same reason. He’s updated everything, and computer is very modern and good.

Kept the trackers and base station and is trying to use them just with the quest headset

[haughty coyote]

Can someone help me understand this. My left controller has a very strong stick drift where it's forced all the way to the bottom left of the zone.

I spent 2 hours replacing the entire joystick part.

Brand new part. Start everything up it still has the exact same stick drift

How is this even possible?

[high reef]

Quest has very limited memory, also known as RAM, so they only way to “fix” it is to wear and show better performance avatars and not go to large and/or unoptimized worlds

So, for example, don’t just hit “show avatar” on everyone

[gray kiln]

I feel like ur best bet is to just buy a new controller 😭

[haughty coyote]

Funny thing is I did, and within 3 days it had stick drift and the 3 lines button stopped working how funny is that so I sent that back and tried to fix my old controller but I guess I'm just cursed

[pastel sage]

I know, but it happens every time i try to go to any room, even optimized box

[gray kiln]

Try contacting meta support about it

[haughty coyote]

I did and I'm sending it back

[gritty pewter]

So I'm not the only one who can't do anything at all on vrchat on quest without getting a "not enough memory for vrchat" error?

Cuz I tried everything. Deleting cache avatar data resetting my quest to factory settings and even deleting app data.

I've even tried being in more optimized worlds and have always had most if not everyone's avatars off when I join world's.

What do I do? My quest is completely potatoing on vrchat exclusively

I'm stuck in my home world because of it and have not been able to join a single other world

[gray kiln]

There’s no fix for it unfortunately quest just doesn’t have enough ram

[gritty pewter]

That's kinda fucked. That should be something that should've been worked on

[undone snow]

hey

[next galleon]

.

[jagged trench]

that's not anything VRchat can fix a problem with the physical Hardware

[modern cedar]

Wen poyomi gonna be for quest??

We need to know

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[gritty pewter]

They can optimize their stuff to work for the system????

They made a whole platform for quest. The whole point of that platform is to work with quest

[jagged trench]

they can't really do anything to optimize the ram consumption of Worlds and avatars

[gritty pewter]

The problem is all those worlds and avatars worked and were fine before the update

They were perfectly fine for 2 whole years. And then the most recent update dropped and everything's broke. So yea, it's probably a problem on vrchats side

[jagged trench]

they also can't do anything if meta makes a system update that increases the base os consumption of RAM

[gritty pewter]

They can adapt to the changes?

I'm not sure if you realise this is a big company and not a small indie project we're speaking about

[jagged trench]

I would not call vrchat a large company when compared to Facebook

[gritty pewter]

They can, and probably should because it's such a common issue. Most of vrchats platform is questies right now.

Look, I'm not a vrchat hater I love the game but I'm not gonna sit here and kiss their ass when this and a lot of other issues need fixing. I'm just critiquing and pointing out a huge problem that should be fixed

[jagged trench]

there's only so efficient they can make their base code as far as RAM consumption before you load in the worlds and avatars

[gritty pewter]

This conversation is pointless. I just wanted to point out that it's a problem and a solution should be sought out.

So I'm going to leave it at that. We can agree to disagree

[jagged trench]

most of the vrchat engineering team does not actually hang out in this Discord

[gritty pewter]

Have a nice day

[ocean niche]

hey uhh

my friend has a problem on the quest 2

it does not load up ast the vrchat screen

and crashes

[mystic brook]

that would be me

[ocean niche]

yuh

[ocean niche]

post it in #1138891887374237706

[sturdy escarp]

I’m having a huge problem with vrc, The game will often tell me it has run out of memory to run vrc, and it’ll either send me to my home world or kick me from the game in general, I’ve tried to clear up space but it still doesn’t work, I’m on quest and i want vrc to fix this problem as it happens to others as well

[wise flower]

Not a VRC problem

It’s the quest not having enough Ram

People above explain it better

[haughty coyote]

[swift oyster]

Had this issue very recently, And unfortunately, there isn't anything to prevent it other than buying a new controller.

[sturdy escarp]

Show me how to fix it, pls

Vrc is the only app that does this

It just crashed me from my game 2 minutes ago

[wise flower]

There is no fix

[tulip magnet]

the quest 1 has a total of 4gb of memory, and the quest 2 has 6. that memory has to be shared between the CPU and GPU, and a part of it has to always be utilized by the OS. what remains is what the game is able to use. once you factor in the necessary background functions, and the world you're in, there is very little memory available for avatars. unfortunately, due to the lack of hard limits, people are allowed to upload avatars so poorly optimized that they easily exceed what remains of the available memory. at that point, the quest has literally no option but to kill the game. there is literally nothing else it could do

the only thing VRC themselves can do is to simply kill off Very poor avatars on quest, like they just recently did for mobile. it's been mentioned as a possibility in the documentation for as long as VRC has been available on quest, so it's absolutely something that could happen down the road.

[jagged trench]

and vrchat can't really do anything about Quest update to the OS that might end up consuming more RAM

[gray kiln]

As said above there’s sadly no fix quest doesn’t have enough ram

[haughty coyote]

Hey quick question im trying to watch some YouTube with the new link support but they keep getting errors

[haughty coyote]

Ye started happening to me recently i run out of memory like once when i first start up vrc

[cedar star]

VRCHAT ADD Audio back I neededeeeedd itttt

[gray kiln]

If ur talking about avatar audio they won’t be bringing it back.

[solemn prism]

maybe until quest 4

[gray kiln]

They haven’t even announced a quest 4

Plus the reason they got rid of it was Becuase some people were using nodded SDKs to add audio to it which is against vrc TOS

[high reef]

So they never actually got rid of avatar audio, it was never an actual option. They just got rid of the loophole some people were using

[haughty coyote]

People are sneaky with shit

[snow bloom]

Hello

[steep crescent]

Well there technically is

It's called getting better hardware

So it doesn't run out of RAM since it then hopefully has more

[haughty coyote]

Can somebody pls gift me job simulator.

[twilit spoke]

does anyone change the option to block poorly optimized avatars from the default? I think it defaults at showing medium as the maximum? is that right?

[urban pulsar]

anyone getting kicked from going to worlds and being sent to your home world then kicked agian to the same home world?

[haughty coyote]

somebody pls gift me job sim I really want it

Il do anything

[jade summit]

paypal me £15.49 +tip and it's yours

[kindred hill]

That's because you run out of memory.

[urban pulsar]

look in the user support i explain more there

[compact parcel]

Yeah, even when I clear memory. The performance dropped a lot from the past update

[urban pulsar]

yeah i noted that too , afder my quest update i cant connect my air link ether

ive been having alot of issues on quest atm

so much i bought the rift

[kindred hill]

I've rarely had this issue, so I don't really know how to combat it.

[haughty coyote]

[open ingot]

Anyone else unable to load in

[mystic brook]

Yeaaaahh

[plush barn]

.

[azure inlet]

yo how do i automatically set all avatars to visible? im tired of manually doing it to see everyones avatar

[jagged trench]

there is intentionally no option to show all very poor avatars on Quest

[azure inlet]

damn, cause often i find a really cool avatar that only shows up after i click on "visible"

[scenic root]

if u click shield level u can change it

[dull wren]

That setting doesn't change anything on quest unless you're using a PC link as well.

If you wanna see people as a quest player you have to manually highlight them and click show on avi display. I tried different shields, i tried adjusting avi settings. Neither works. You have to do it manually on Quest.

[scenic root]

oh okay, im so sorry for saying something that doesnt work

thabk you

[dull wren]

If anything it might only work when viewing other quest exclusive models. But if it's a pc/quest or PC only you have to display them manually which is frustrating.

[high reef]

its only if they are very poor or poor performance rank that you cannot see it by default. You can see medium or lower by default and you can set with shield level to see poor avatars normally

[high reef]

but, very poor will always be hidden unless you show it because they are one of the primary reasons quests crash, and unfortunately a lotta people don't optimize the quest versions of their avatars so the majority are going to be hidden normally. Its not based off of PC compatibility, it is based off of performance rank. You could technically make a quest only avatar thats poor or very poor performance rank and it would never be shown without manually overriding it

[dull wren]

Which is a bummer considering almost every decent avatar is very poor

[high reef]

only cause people are not willing to spend the time making them actually quest performant, which I agree is a shame. That’s why whenever I make an avatar I try my hardest to put in as many features as I can while prioritizing keeping it at medium performance

I don’t really blame a lotta the people, I mean you need to learn the basics of how computers render stuff, how unity works, and if you want to actually make it performant you also need to prolly have some basic knowledge of blender.

That’s a lotta things to learn, granted this is a whole medium people have professions in so it makes sense

[dull wren]

Oh God blender

Blender scares me.

[high reef]

exactly

[hoary dagger]

https://forms.gle/VHzM71MKVKudBgAm7

[haughty coyote]

Lol.

[rustic lagoon]

hey yall. wondering if anyone has info/a fix for eye tracking, the last couple updates broke it for the quest pro. or is there like, a bug report i can do ?

[tulip magnet]

are you playing on quest standalone, or using your quest with your PC?

[rustic lagoon]

quest standalone

[tulip magnet]

eye tracking for standalone has been removed for the forseable future

many performance issues caused by it. OSC based eye tracking is unaffected

[rustic lagoon]

waat that rly sucks big time

thanks for the memo. but wow thats painful

where did u see them post that out of curiosity ?

[tulip magnet]

#announcements message

[rustic lagoon]

ty ty thats what i was lookin for ! couldnt find it till u

[chilly fulcrum]

Yo questers. I'm looking at getting a new headset now that my CV1 is busted. I've been using it since it launched so, what's there to expect moving from a legacy PCVR experience to something like a quest.

[haughty coyote]

PCVR by its very nature will always be the better experience, but quest makes up for it on portability as well as the ability to also be used for pcvr so its a good mix of the two.

[high reef]

there will be compression and a little more latency if you hook it up to a computer, otherwise not to different for the pcvr experience

not needing a cable can be cool

[chilly fulcrum]

I'm trying to eliminate cables as I have pets that tend to see them.as enemies lol

[white granite]

How many of you are hyped of the quest 3?

[thick bronze]

how the heck do you scroll down on the debug console in quest standalone?

[thick bronze]

Hooked up bluetooth keyboard to do it --- should really have a option to scroll down using controllers...

[vivid zenith]

probably won't buy it until my quest 2 gives up
its holding up like a ps4

[white granite]

but you got 12GB Ram with the quest 3...

I thought Ram was always a problems in VRChat?

[mint horizon]

Personally I am

[high reef]

RAM is currently the biggest problem. Basically all weirdness happening besides low fps is caused by a lack of RAM

[white granite]

now its 12GB

[high reef]

Hopefully

They still haven’t actually revealed it

It’s all speculation still

[white granite]

leaks

[high reef]

they still say 8 - 12, but I do hope that’s correct

I don’t use a quest myself anymore, but making it so peeps can crash less it a nice idea

[dull wren]

OMG RAM. Also I love your pfp

[vivid zenith]

not if u use airlink

[turbid trench]

any quest 2 vrchat streamers in here? willing to help me? i can talk in dms just having trouble setting up vrchat capters in streamlabs

[steep crescent]

I'm more into the pico 4 instead of quest 3

Saving up for that

[gray kiln]

My friend has the pico 4 and it’s horrible

He hates it a lot

[steep crescent]

How?

I mainly heard positive reviews

Quest 3 just is way too expensive

Ain't paying $700

At that point i can buy index

Currently i have Quest 1

[gray kiln]

My friend hates his cuz it runs like shit 😂

It works but it really ain’t that good

[steep crescent]

With pcvr?

I would use it exclusively for pcvr anyways so don't care about how well games on it would run

I mean everything runs like shit including the OS on my Quest 1 already

But i only use it for pcvr nowadays

[gray kiln]

In the case of you using pcvr then ur fine 😂

[solemn prism]

I bought my Quest 2 in 2021 and I will not buy another headset so soon

[steep crescent]

The OS needs 3-5 minutes to boot alone on my Quest 1

[gray kiln]

I bought mine 2021

It’s slowly dying the things battery sucks

Which Ik the battery wears down over time it’s prone to happen

[steep crescent]

If i would need standalone performance then i would buy quest 3. But quest 3 makes it way more expensive for stuff i would never even use

[gray kiln]

So instead of me gettin a new headset imma try to replace the battery my friends done it before, and if it don’t work then I’ll just buy a new headset

[steep crescent]

400€ vs 650€

[gray kiln]

I might just get the quest three Becuase they’ll be releasing new games for it and other stuff like that

Quest 2 is horrible with vrc so

And the quest three is said to have more ram which hopefully is true

[solemn prism]

things might get a bit better with the imposters

[steep crescent]

Only if they delete very poor on Quest

[solemn prism]

Then the vrchat on mobile will look like a playstation 1 game

[steep crescent]

I mean with imposters it will be an actual threat now

They already killed very poor on Android

And Quest 2 performance is already constantly declining to the point where it's not very far off of meeting the same fate as quest 1

The games headroom between 2020 and now got way smaller

[devout quiver]

how do i connect it withoiut a cord to pc

[gray kiln]

Air link

Or you can buy virtual desktop

Does anyone know how to do poiyomo stencil on quest, like any equivalent
I'm trying to make the alice av work on quest after I changed the texture but the eyes become invisible without 26% stencil from poiyomi for some reason

[jagged trench]

you're going to have to modify the avatar to not require poiyomo stencil

[haughty coyote]

What is making it require it anyway

[jagged trench]

how would I know it's your model

[woven kite]

Is anyone else experiencing terrible crashes? I cant join a single world without having to restart my game, and that includes my home world

It keeps booting me from the worlds I join if it’s my first time joining them and then disconnects me from the servers saying “VRChat is not responding”

My friend is having bad issues too

[unique osprey]

Potentially a cache issue. If you can load into the homeworld for a bit go into the setting and clear the data cache. I had a similar issue and thay fixed it

[solemn zenith]

any quest having a problem with midnight rooftop?

[opal hound]

Y'all help what do you do if you get a quest crashing avatar while doing random avi search and now everytime you open vrchat you crash

😭

[blissful anchor]

You should be able to switch into the default robot on the website

[muted stratus]

Eeee hii

[gray kiln]

Sign in on the vrc website, go to ur profile go to avatars and you can click set as default avi

It’ll change the Avi into the gray robot

And while ur at it go into ur recently used Avis and report the person who uploaded the crasher XD

[haughty coyote]

Hello,

I’m new to vrc

I’ve had it since 2020 but only ever opened it like 3 times

I had a rough time yesterday

[compact parcel]

Getting on once a year?

[haughty coyote]

No

I played twice in 2020 and yesterday

[compact parcel]

Why's that

[haughty coyote]

Well when I originally got my quest, I couldn’t really use it.

[compact parcel]

If you don't like vrchat then you're not forced to play it, plenty of other vr games to choose from

[haughty coyote]

Wdym I never said I don’t like it?

[compact parcel]

You said people are mean, I'd guess you don't enjoy that

[haughty coyote]

I couldn’t use my quest because I didn’t have play space but then I moved house and got a much bigger room

[haughty coyote]

I don’t really care, It’s the internet it happens.

[compact parcel]

Seems legit

[haughty coyote]

Yeah

[compact parcel]

Alright man, just don't end up being a mirror dweller

[haughty coyote]

I won’t

[ionic abyss]

does anyone here know how to use blender

[wide pagoda]

Key question is "does it change files or affects system processes used by vrchat?" if the answer is no, then technically it's fine. Only thing you now have to worry about if the program is against ToS. By my knowledge it's not.

Last thing you have to worry about is "what you do with it is against ToS". Keep in mind that this program automates certain things. You have to think in terms like: explicit text being pushed over OCS to your chat output that might get you in hot water in certain situations.

But... what is this question doing in #quest-general

[woven jay]

looking to make a droppable stationary prop. any tutorials on this? the only two things i found was using a mesh particle, or finalik

[haughty coyote]

Why does the game keep randomly crashing and it says I don’t have enough memory to play vrchat when I literally hat 93gb of storage left

Because technology sucks tbh

Is there a fix?

Would help a lot

[primal jay]

Phone manufacturers have confused you, and a ton of other people, the not enough memory message is because your Quest ran out of RAM, a thing your Quest only has 6GB of, which VRChat can only use 4GB of, there isn't really any way to fix it, Quest and VRChat updates have made it less stable.

If you've seen how much RAM and VRAM PC VRChat can take, it is almost amazing that it can even run on Quest.

[compact parcel]

That's ram, not storage

Your only way to fix it is clear content cache, you'll still run out of memory because new update sucks on quest

[marble marsh]

As others have mentioned this issue is not related to your storage. It's related to RAM, this is what Memory means in reference to PCs and phones.
Only thing you can realistically do try and help mitigate this if you are doing this is do not show or use Very Poor avatars.

In other words, stick to using a Optimized Avatar yourself, ideally around Medium or better.

And **do not **show other users who have a Very Poor avatar, even just one Very Poor avatar can cause this problem to occur. Which is why I advise you don't use one yourself, because if you do use a Very Poor avatar it's always loaded as you have to see the Very Poor avatar being used by you, so no matter what other changes you make you are constantly at risk of this happening if you use a Very Poor avatar.

[compact parcel]

I'd like to say that's its not only avatars, but everything causes a quest user to run out of memory. Going to a new world by yourself or being in an optimized public world with no avatars shown, the performance has significantly dropped the past couple updates so hopefully this will be looked at by the devs

[marble marsh]

yes, it's not only Avatars. But a massive factor is avatars, you can mitigate a lot by just that alone.

[compact parcel]

I exist, I run out of memory

That's the best way to put it

[marble marsh]

I know, you are correct, and I'm not denying your claim. I am saying mitgate for a reason here.

[compact parcel]

That's a big word, I haven't learnt it yet

[eternal field]

Haii

[high reef]

Yes, some of it is most likely VRChat’s updates, but you have to realize VRChat isn’t the only thing running that is using your headset’s resources. While it is impressive the amount of stuff Meta has crammed into the headset with updates over the years, I used the word “crammed” for a reason. They haven’t been really updating it all that well for the long term. Little issues and oddities collect over time and by now the Quest’s operating system is using far, far more resources then it used to.

The Quest’s operating system can tell VRChat to stop if it’s running poorly and using too many resources, but VRChat cannot tell the Quest OS to chill out if it’s hogging resources VRChat used to be able to use to, well, not crash

Granted, that’s just one more reason why Quest stand-alone VRChat can be unstable

[compact parcel]

It already is unstable

Well a year ago I would argue I rarely ever get lag spikes nor crash, now it's a daily occurrence

[high reef]

exactly, your headset has also been having updates adding a LOT of features. Even if those features aren't in use, they aren't free

im not sayin vrc isn't at all to blame, they certainly hold some of it, its just not only vrc's fault

[haughty coyote]

The thing is tho I wanna see other peoples cool avis

[high reef]

well then those people need to learn how to optimize their cool avis

you can get away with a lot more then people seem to think, it just takes effort which people don't want to give

granted, this is a problem on both quest and pc, but obviously its more obvious on quest since its processing power is a lot more limited

then it being VR, makes it more complicated cause it quite literally doubles the processing required for almost every aspect of drawing a frame

not to mention the headset's displays are also bigger then 1080p which increases the cost more

basically, vr is hard

[lofty kestrel]

🙂

[high kestrel]

Does anyone realize you “harras” someone enough about something they add/change it

[twin basin]

I have Pico 4 for like 8 months now. Very happy with the headset. And I have enough experience to judge.

[gray kiln]

You play standalone? Or with a pc

My friend plays stand-alone and hates it, not enough games, and it runs like shit they’ve had theirs around the same time so 🤷‍♀️

[twin basin]

Both. And even more often- cloud PC. No issues whatsoever.

[gray kiln]

Prob cuz they don’t want to be harassed?

[high kestrel]

No shit, but just think about it.

More emojis

[gray kiln]

Huh?

[twin basin]

My main focus is working in VR (Immersed, VD etc), which I do almost everyday, but occasionally I also play something like Breachers, Table tennis, Pool, Creed. Smooth and fun with Pico 4. Maybe your friend got a faulty device or something. Also heard mainly positive opinions from other owners. What I agree with- some of the games/apps are only available for Meta, but that's the issue with all headsets that's not Meta)

[gray kiln]

I know absolutely no one who uses the vrc emojis

[haughty coyote]

[wise flower]

Question, if u have an official VRC account and VRC+ can u upload pictures for emotes that way?

[gray kiln]

Yep

[wise flower]

Ooo! (Nothing bad planned just my drawn ones)

Ty for responding

[carmine aspen]

Will quest 3 users see any kind of upgrade to vrc? Or will it still look the same like how it is on the quest 2?

[high reef]

it will most likely crash less and have a higher framerate

[jagged trench]

but they're unlikely to change the Avatar ranking or Max World upload size

[high reef]

this

[jagged trench]

they still have to support the quest 2 for a long time

[granite kayak]

Anyone else crashing tons after the update?

[blissful plank]

yes i am

[wind tulip]

Anyone else’s audio and mic cutting out more often than not?

Forcing you to complete restart the game?

Load-looping too?

[wind tulip]

Thats it probably going to be it, quest support is not up to par

[high reef]

I mean, idk what else would really happen... maybe some kinda odd augmented reality support

could be cool, just see people's avis in your house

[wide trout]

tbh if they did that, I'd want VRchat runnable as a steamVR overlay so I could be in another VR game, VRception...

[high reef]

you made me think about games in the steam vr overlay and now im scared of its possibilities...

[primal jay]

Wasn't there a app on steam that allowed you to invite people to supported games and they would see the game from a different viewpoint?

[primal jay]

Aww, can't find it. . . I thought there has been an Overlay on Steam that allowed for allowing a friend to exist in 3d space with you, while playing a single player game.

[high reef]

now that would be hella fun

[haughty coyote]

.....It would kinda just be like......Reality Chat then.....?

[balmy snow]

Where r u

[drifting forum]

How am I being told I have not enough memory for VR chat when my free space is 98%? I am tired of talking to someone and next thing I know I'm booted

I paid for the oculus I am behind on my subscription because of real life issues but I shouldn't have all of these issues

[wide trout]

because System Memory =/= Disk Space, you're confusing RAM for Storage, and the quest 2 barely has any RAM so yeah, that's gonna happen.

[high reef]

Very poor avatars have to be manually shown for a reason, they have a good chance of pushing your RAM usage over the edge

[drifting forum]

But that's the thing

[drifting forum]

I'm 98% free on memory

[gray kiln]

That’s not how that works

[drifting forum]

I've deleted them, I've cleared my cashe

[gray kiln]

By memory it means the ram of ur headset quest only has 4gb

Quest doesn’t have enough ram only way around it is to not show very poor Avis and use better worlds but even then it usually won’t work the quest 2 just doesn’t have enough ram

[drifting forum]

I understand that I am old but not that old yet

[gray kiln]

Yeah this isn’t how it works

You aren’t “free on memory”

[drifting forum]

Software and hardware I am free

[gray kiln]

Ur thinking of storage on ur headset

But that isn’t the reason to ur problem

[drifting forum]

Library cleared, Like I said I'm old just not that old yet 😭

[gray kiln]

The problem is that qiest 2 doesn’t have a lot of ram which ends with this. As I said only way around it is not showing very poor Avis and going to optimized worlds but sometimes that doesn’t even help

[gray kiln]

And as I just said ur library has nothing to do with it

[drifting forum]

Yes I remember DOS

[gray kiln]

^^^

This is ur problem it’s the RAM of ur headset Not STORAGE

There’s no way to really fix it

Ok? But all I’m saying is this problem ur gettin isn’t to do with how much storage is on ur headset

It’s the RAM

[drifting forum]

I've cleared that Rain

Not trying to be disrespectful here

[gray kiln]

There’s no way really around it, either hide very poor Avis OR use more optimized worlds

That’s all you can do clearing ur cache and stuff like that won’t fix it

Sometimes restarting ur headset can help

[drifting forum]

I've knocked out them

Rain I'm not trying to be disrespectful here

[gray kiln]

The headset just can’t really run vrchat well since the headset only has 4gb of ram

[gray kiln]

I know

But I’m just saying not much you can do to fix it

So I'm just a grunt in a combat zone gotcha

Been there got the T-shirt

[haughty coyote]

I just can’t find it then lol

[haughty coyote]

@compact parcel

[rose grove]

When are you guys gonna add audio back to vrchat quest??

[compact parcel]

Probably never

[carmine hound]

Wdym

[gray kiln]

He’s talkin bout avatar audio

[gray kiln]

They aren’t gonna add it back

[carmine hound]

Why’d they remove it?

[gray kiln]

They never removed it, it wasn’t supposed to be on quest. Some of the ways people did it were using modified SDKs which is against TOS

[carmine hound]

Oh

[gray kiln]

It just wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place

Which sucks but yeah

[carmine hound]

That’s unfortunate but it is what it is now

[near parrot]

There's no point on disable audio from quest's avatars, more than the stupid size limit quest avatar have

[charred dust]

Who do you change colors of avatars on quest

[gray kiln]

The size limit is for optimization

It makes sense

[gray kiln]

And they didn’t disable it it was never supposed to be there

[charred dust]

I’d there a menu for it or does it need to be done on pc

[near parrot]

yeah you're right, but those limits were made for quest 1

[tulip magnet]

the limits already got increased for quest 2

the poly limit used to be 10k, now it's 20k

[charred dust]

Guys

[tulip magnet]

I don't understand what you're asking for

[charred dust]

I know there free avatars you can change the color and stuff like patterns

Can you do that on the quest

[gray kiln]

Some avatars you can change the colours of but not lots

If you want specific patterns you need to texture an Avi which you’ll need a pc for

[charred dust]

How do I get to the setting to do that

[tulip magnet]

it is possible to change the tint color of materials with the quest shaders, but you can only do that in game if the author added a slider to control that

if it's not your avatar, and the avatar doesn't have controls for it, nothing you can do

[gray kiln]

Not all Avis do it, but if they do if you open the expression wheel

[tulip magnet]

if you upload your own avatar, you can do whatever you want

[gray kiln]

And find a hue slider sometimes it’ll work not all the time since most are pc only but a few Avis do have hue sliders that work on quest

[charred dust]

Ok

Thanks for the help

[bright coral]

Hey, is anyone else having an issue with showing avatars. I go to join a world and even when they are quest compatible it’s saying they are incompatible..

Prob over the size limit

[bright coral]

It was every single avatar though so I’m confused

[terse portal]

Hello, does someone knows if the Oculus Quest 2 works with the 3.0 trackers?

[drifting forum]

Why am I getting the message that my memory is kicking me off. When I have over 98% free memory

[primal jay]

Memory = RAM, not storage, phone manufacturers have lied to you.

[drifting forum]

I'm on meta quest

[primal jay]

Yeah, Memory is still RAM, a thing the Quest 2 only has 6GB of (and Quest 1 4GB).

[safe kindle]

no wonder

cant join shit when i get on sometimes

especially just B

[drifting forum]

And I am over 98% free space. I may be old but I ain't stupid

[primal jay]

And I am saying that your free space doesn't matter.

[drifting forum]

My first computer was a Tandy, I have family and friends that know computer's

[jade summit]

That's cool and all but storage space still isn't RAM space

[drifting forum]

I'm talking RAM space

I know the difference

[primal jay]

And there isn't really a fix to it except for showing less avatars, having a less RAM intensive avatar yourself and going to less RAM intensive worlds.

Or getting a Quest Pro or Quest 3 (when it comes out), since both of those have more RAM.

[jade summit]

Where are you getting this figure from?

The quest uses more than 2% ram to store the OS when turned on, let alone running vrchat

[primal jay]

2GB is dedicated towards the OS, VRChat gets access to 4GB.

[drifting forum]

Again I'm old not completely stupid

[jade summit]

I'm not calling you stupid, I'm asking you where you got the 98% free ram space figure from because it sounds implausible

[primal jay]

Not calling you stupid, this is a common misconception that has to be explained, just in case.

[drifting forum]

A friend of mine I can't say where he works but he taped into my Headset

[primal jay]

Well 2% would mean only ~120MB is used on the headset, even with the Quest Pro, that isn't enough to run Android.

I could see the opposite being true though when running VRChat, because it will totally eat up as much RAM as the QuestOS gives it (98% used).

[drifting forum]

I understand that that is exactly what my buddy told me

Me I'm just a dumb old GRUMPY GRUNT 0311 but I do have friends

[jade summit]

I'm a bit confused, so did he say 98% of the memory was being used then?

or is it possible he just misread the figure maybe?

[drifting forum]

The message I get does say I don't have the memory to do VR chat. But my RAM and memory should allow me

Is what I'm saying ma'am

[jade summit]

your RAM is memory, they're just different names for the same thing

[drifting forum]

Now I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, if I come across that way I apologize

[jade summit]

It's fine dw, I'm a guy btw xd

[drifting forum]

My apologies I miss read the name

[jade summit]

That's fair to be honest

The problem seems that you might have too many avatars on your screen as they're made by VRChat's users and a lot of them aren't made very well so they use too much RAM and cause the game to crash. Sadly there's no fixed amount of ram that the game will use at any time

[drifting forum]

Yes I'm 51 yrs of age I don't hide that I enjoy most of the worlds VR has to offer

[jade summit]

Good for you, I know a lot of people would just write it off as "that's for kids" xd

[drifting forum]

I thought of that and I deleted multiple avatars as my friend suggested

I'm going through and deleting more

I actually only use 3 avatars

Ashy thank you for your advice and help

Ashy I apologize I miss spoke I have 9 avatars

And 126 fall backs that I never chose

[drifting forum]

So with the 126 fall backs that I didn't choose, could that be the issue

If so how do I get rid of them?

[jade summit]

Ah sorry I was busy for a min, there should be settings to hide the avatars of other players as they will be the sources of the RAM usage, the ones you have favourited shouldn't have much of an effect on RAM usage. If you open the menu and go to safety settings you can increase the level which will hide avatars considered to be "Very Poor" which should fix the issue.

[drifting forum]

Thank you and again my friend if I came across as disrespectful I do apologize that was not my intention

I take any and all advice that I can get

if i factory reset my quest 2, will i have to repurchase all my games again?

[tribal stratus]

no, purchased games are bound to your account

[faint ridge]

tyy, i looked it up online before and some sources said u will have to repurchase again which is misleading :(

[modern cedar]

i need help to stream on my twitch with my quest with out pc

i need apk o somthing more good den det

[tight hedge]

hey Gs . any one can help here ?

[south abyss]

Anyone wanna cuddle in vr 😭

[mint nacelle]

I'm good, u?

[mint nacelle]

Sure, I was just about to ask the chat too

[prime surge]

Hey i need y’alls opinion on if i should wait and buy the oculus quest 3 or get the valve index? without considering the price.

[jade summit]

Personally I'd go for the quest 3 as it's got a much better resolution than the index and you can also play all the quest exclusive titles

[pine lion]

index not worth it in 2023

take it from an index user

[jade summit]

ditto

It's a good headset but it's not worth the price it's for sale at and is quickly showing its age

[pine lion]

has been for a while now imo. theres better out there

[jade summit]

personally I'm eying the beyond as a replacement

[pine lion]

i was too but ive decided im using this damn thing till it breaks lmao. waiting for something like the beyond with eye tracking capabilities

[jade summit]

Fair, I just love the idea of playing for hours without a massive box on my head

I'm at least gonna wait til it's out of pre-order

[prime surge]

i could get the whole valve index kit for 600€

would that change anything about your opinions?

[pine lion]

no

its just the worse headset. only rlly worth it for the base stations and potentially knuckles if you really want those

but the headset is js straight up not worth it

[jade summit]

It's a shame but also really cool how it used to be the top of the line headset when it came out but now is pretty mid

[pine lion]

yeah valve just hasnt been keeping up. so much new hardware has released and theyre still on their first one

[jade summit]

It's a shame the index controllers don't last very long under normal use either

[pine lion]

mine have lasted me 3 years getting up to all sorts of shenanigans but they have started squeaking

[jade summit]

I hit my wall a couple of times in some games and the tops of both of them are starting to come apart from the handle, though I suppose it's not that bad as I've had them for the same amount of time

I've found the squeaking can be fixed like stick drift with a straw

for a bit

[pine lion]

mine have been through plenty of alcohol spills and wall abuse but they just wont give out

was gonna replace them with etee's but apparently theyre not that great

[jade summit]

They look alright though having the tracker on the end for them to work in steam vr looks petty top heavy

[pine lion]

yeah plus apparently etee trackers are shit so youll have to opt for vive pucks or tundras to stick on em

which i imagine is even worse cause theyre not made for that so the shape is off

[jade summit]

fair, I still wish more controllers would copy the index hand strap bc it's so much nicer to be able to just let go

[pine lion]

yeah. etee kinda has that with their foam and that + how small they are almost sold me but oh well

[jade summit]

oh I didn't notice that yeah

[pine lion]

just want more finger and hand tracking in general

hand splay in vrc when

[jade summit]

I was playing breachers and they don't even have finger tracking built in

Can't flip people off 😭

the one reason the index controllers were so loved

[haughty coyote]

What channel do I need to go to to recommend a freature for vrchat?

[pine lion]

#feature-requests

not monitored tho, more so for discussion

if you actually want to suggest something make a canny

[haughty coyote]

What is a canny?

[pine lion]

vrcs feedback forum is powered by canny so thats js what ppl refer to it as

check the description of the channel i sent for the link

[faint ridge]

does quest 3 lag with vrchat and games that have a lot going on?

im selling my quest 2 today planning to buy the quest 3 because i heard its a lot better

[worn yoke]

If your running it off a PC, then the framerate is dependent on your PC specs.

Quest 3 will be harder to run than an Index, it's resolution is quite a lot higher.

[faint ridge]

what if im not?

[worn yoke]

If you are running standalone VRChat, then it's not comparable at all to an Index. Index requires a PC.

Standalone VRChat is a much watered down version of VRChat. But the Quest 3 will run that a lot better than the Quest 2 does yes.

[faint ridge]

ye thank you, and is it true that thequest 3 weighs less than the quest 2

[tulip magnet]

it should be lighter. I think a more worthwhile investment for VRChat would be a PC honestly

it's a completely different game

[worn yoke]

It weighs almost exactly the same. But it should feel a lot more comfortable because the lever arm is closer to the face.

[faint ridge]

so r u telling me i should invest in a pc or upgrade?

i already have a pc, just never thought of connecting it to my quest cause my specs arent good

[worn yoke]

A decent VRChat capable PC is going to cost a lot more than a Quest 3.

So depends on your budget.

[faint ridge]

yeah hopefully i dont see the black stuff like how i do on my quest 2, it ruins the enviroment

[tulip magnet]

if you already have a PC, and it's not totally ancient, upgrading it to be able to run PCVR might be the better play

[tulip magnet]

if by "black stuff" you mean the area in your peripheral being black, that will not change much with the quest 3

[faint ridge]

im still 15, dont have a job yet so lmao im probably just gonna stick to single handedly buying a quest 3 since i can basically run all the games i want on my pc anyway

[tulip magnet]

the FOV of the quest 3 is not much higher

[faint ridge]

damn, ive always hated that

[worn yoke]

you will see black borders on any headset, even an Index

[tulip magnet]

yea, although it's less prominent on the index

[faint ridge]

i was contemplating if i should get a quest 3 or a macbook for school, im not much of a vr player but ithink itsonly cause i had lag issues with basically every game although hopefully im not going to lag as much on the new headset

[tulip magnet]

oh you're still going to lag like shit on the quest 3 I guarantee you

in VRChat

with people out here uploading avatars heavier than worlds, thinking a fucking mobile processor can handle it

[faint ridge]

i mean tbh i dont play vrchat often anyway since i dont find too much enjoyment from it lol

but yeah my quest 2 has crashed several times from playing vrchat

[pine lion]

be selective about whose avatar you show

very poor is blocked on quest by default and thats a good thing

Just throwing it out there, if anyone wants someone to cuddle with hmu with a dm! Idc who/what you are

[lyric bay]

I don’t mind that, but something that I hate is how fuzzy the Quest 2 can be. Really annoying.

[neon bronze]

yippie, god knows i need improved memory usage for my quest LOL

[dull wren]

We just gonna ignore the cake above us?

[narrow tusk]

Honestly some very poor aren’t that bad cuz they can only be 30k polygons

I think another lvl should implemented

So anyone above 50k polygons is just labeled bad

[vocal sequoia]

Hi guys uhm sorry for bothering y'all but I just got my quests 2 and the air link ain't working as expected so, I was thinking if anybody got any suggestions, because it says I don't meet the requirements (it says my connection isn't 5Ghz)

I hope I'm not in the wrong channel to ask this kind of stuff

[pine lion]

polys wouldnt be what im worried about for avis

[narrow tusk]

It’s In general

[pine lion]

though the file size limit does make quest avis much safer to unblock, they can still be heavy

[narrow tusk]

Also poly is something you should worry about

[pine lion]

obviously but its not what im worried about when unhiding avis lmao

[narrow tusk]

I don’t show any anime avatar

All have too many issues

[pine lion]

yeah its.. something

and tbh i dont see any need for more performance ranking levels. very poor is bad enough as it is and usually not worth showing

[narrow tusk]

Some just have slightly more then 19999 polygons

It’s why I suggested it

In general but in the end just don’t anything

🥶🥶🥶

[celest granite]

Does anyone want to play?

[solar trellis]

🧑🏿‍🦽

[gray kiln]

Which you can’t do

Since the memory issue is Because not enough RAM 🧍🏻‍♀️

Quest is stinky

[visual kernel]

have anyone encounter problems with the air link and the quest 2 after the last oculus app update?

[errant canyon]

Just found out my friend is having problems as well. Hopefully someone knows a fix or something gets done about it soon

[high reef]

I do worry about polys, hence why I try to get my quest versions below 15k making them medium performance rank, but the biggest hit to performance is mostly people having tons of material slots. You know how people complain about “10 MB isn’t even nearly enough!!!” well that’s cause they have like 10 materials for the 8 sets of clothing and 2 props

And material slots are no joke with performance despite everyone seeming to ignore them, especially for quest. There is a reason three material slots will instantly push you over into poor and very poor

like can i create emb and install it into vr chat. so i could see a channel on my room's wall.

is it possible?

[storm garnet]

It is quite likely that your anti-virus software (assuming you have some) is blocking the service that needs to run. It blocks AirLink and Virtual Desktop until you give it permission to run.

[primal jay]

Doing this would be very technical and require some creative solutions.

It is not something you'd generally do if you had to ask if it was possible.

[wraith viper]

Anyone else getting connection issues with their Quest to PC via the link cable? Ever since I updated the app yesterday, it doesn't want to detect my Quest, even though my laptop clearly detects it as a valid audio device.

[thorny ruin]

Im kinda sad my phone can't try out the alpha

I am done with fire chaos now

[haughty coyote]

?

[wraith viper]

Restarted multiple times, still no dice. Anyone have any answers? I'm about to reinstall the app.

[gray kiln]

Might be the cord

[wraith viper]

It's not. My laptop can detect it as an audio device, so it's clearly being recognized by the computer. It would be an odd coincidence for the cord to fail after months of working perfectly right after an app update.

[wraith viper]

Update: I've reinstalled the Oculus PC app, which unfortunately did not fix the issue. I attempted to link my Quest 2 to my PC via the charging cable that comes with the Quest 2 (USB-C cable) as well as a third-party USB to USB-C cable. Neither of these cables worked, proving that it is neither the cord or my USB-C port that is at fault.

[celest stag]

where can I get help at?

[fringe night]

Might get back into VR are servers still popping or is vrchat dead?

[pearl phoenix]

HEY! im just gonna say i had the same issue and enabled ptc in beta of the oculus app and it worked so maybe try that out <3

[tulip magnet]

VRChat is very much not dead

quite the opposite

[fringe night]

Okay another question

Is it filled with children LMAO

[pearl phoenix]

like always

[fringe night]

Figured much

Btw whats the best way to make vr groups nowadays

[tulip magnet]

on PC, not as much. it's also not an issue if you don't hang out in the very popular public worlds

[fringe night]

Yeah thats understandable

Main reason why i stopped playing was cuz of noone to play with

Playing solo is boring

[haughty coyote]

Following. My friend is having the same issue.

[haughty coyote]

Following. My friend is having the same issue. Will try this to see if it works.

[pearl phoenix]

mhmhm!

i hope this is okay to send here but there is where to find it on the pc app

[haughty coyote]

Okay thank you. Will let you know if it works.

[pearl phoenix]

ofc ofc

it worked for me and a friend

[haughty coyote]

Well we tried everything even factory reset her quest so hopefully this'll do the trick.

[pearl phoenix]

im glad i didnt do that i hate factory resteting

[wraith viper]

Tried it, no dice. Seems the Oculus app is pushing an update though!

[pearl phoenix]

yea when i did it it updated and worked\

[wraith viper]

Happy to announce that the update has indeed fixed my issue. Thanks to everyone who helped!

[haughty coyote]

She tried it, it did not work

[haughty coyote]

What update? How did you fix the issue?

[wraith viper]

I enabled Public Test Channel as per one user's suggestion. It immediately pushed an update which fixed the issue.

[haughty coyote]

How did it push the update was it a popup?

[wraith viper]

Yep, app just said it would update.

[haughty coyote]

She got the update!

It's updating now, will let y'all know if it fixes her stuff.

[wraith viper]

Enabling PTC pushing an update that fixes a fatal error is beyond silly

https://tenor.com/view/animation-disney-movies-the-emperors-new-groove-kronk-gif-14836333

[haughty coyote]

It's bs on Oculus's part.

[wraith viper]

If it works, it works, I suppose!

[haughty coyote]

Well if this is the solution like it's looking to be someone needs to pin this to the channel so everyone can see it like a banner at the top of the screen and post on oculus's forums too

It worked!

Thank you guys so much! @wraith viper @pearl phoenix

[pearl phoenix]

ofc!

[fringe night]

Should i get back into Vrchat

[worn finch]

I mean vrchat is pretty fun so I'd say go for it man

[sly nimbus]

Hey- why can’t quest users adjust max avi download size anymore? Is there any way to change it now or did the devs just ruin that? Bc I use to have it up to 50 but now can’t change it-

(A few updates ago I needed to uninstall vrc bc it was completely broken for a week so my download size changed to the 10 default)

[high reef]

No point in having it higher then 10, you shouldn’t be able to upload an avatar larger than 10 MB

[sly nimbus]

I can- from my laptop I’ve had no problems uploading but I just can’t see them- plus I would like to see other avis that ppl have-

[high reef]

Like, I don’t really know what else to tell you, you cannot upload a quest avatar with a compiled file size larger 10 MB so there is no point in increasing the max download size of individual avatars above 10 MB on quest. On PC the avatars can be larger… for better and for worse sometimes, but unless you break TOS and mess with the SDK, you cannot upload avatars larger than 10 MB onto quest

[serene forum]

does someone know how vise thing works

[inland vault]

I joined my vrchat home and now when i move there is a blue circle around my screen that obscures my vision

it wont let me chat in the support channels

[tulip magnet]

that's a comfort option, you can turn it off in the settings

[inland vault]

thank god lemme try that

[high reef]

What do you mean? Like visemes?

[rich kettle]

Y'all so like my mic for vrchat stopped working and idk how to get it to work no one can hear me speak nor the mic is picking up my voice idk what to do

It was working fine yesterday

[uneven sandal]

Hey, does anyone know how to lower the quest display brightness past where the headset usually allows the lowest brightens settings?

[haughty coyote]

Go into your quest screen (click the quest button on right hand controller), click the time and battery bar to open settings, click microphone. It turns itself off sometimes. Hope this helps!

[haughty coyote]

Hi

[dry birch]

yo

[bold dirge]

Thank you

[pearl phoenix]

ofc ^^

[undone snow]

Anyone home?

[high pulsar]

where even is home

[high reef]

You need to have full body tracking points on your waist and feet. The easiest way to do this is to fork over money for tundra trackers or vive trackers, get base stations, and then switch from quest standalone to pcvr.

Put simply, if you don’t have the hardware, you won’t be able to just “turn on” fbt, unless are you saying you bought vive trackers and need help? Cause if so I’d go to the #full-body-tracking channel

[torpid saffron]

Does this channel also apply to vrchat played on pc through the quest? xD

[high reef]

If you are having trouble connecting, maybe… but that does really belong in the realm of PCVR

[torpid saffron]

well it is related to a quest 2 feature as well

[high reef]

By the time you plug in the headset to a pc, the only thing the quest is doing is tracking its and the controllers position, otherwise it’s fully pcvr

Which now that I think about it actually kinda the usual for pcvr, like the pc may need to do further math on the data, but it’s usual for the vr headset plugged in to send all the tracking data to the computer

So a quest connected to a pc is fully pcvr

[serene forum]

i got fbt its just that i dont have them anymore and i thought i couldve tried to get full body with my phone until i get t5hem back

[high reef]

I think there are ways, although asking in #full-body-tracking about quest standalone fbt is definitely the way to go. Good luck with that!

[noble estuary]

Hi

[torpid saffron]

What I wanted to ask was if there was any plans for hand tracking, it kinda works on pcvr if I use quest 2 hand tracking, the issue is just that on pcvr, vrchat doesn't have the gesture shortcuts like pinch to move/click

Cuz on standalone hand tracking works just fine, I'd love if it worked on pcvr too

[high reef]

It can never really work unless meta changes their policies. Basically, developers can access handtracking data on pcvr, but meta does not allow them to actually compile and publish anything with it

[torpid saffron]

Oh, so it's all meta's fault then

Average tech conglomerate moment

[high reef]

Yeup in this case it is factually with zero opinion all on meta

If you are thinking this sounds dumb… you are right

[torpid saffron]

Yeah I'm well aware big tech companies aren't known for being too cooperative lmao

It sucks because hand tracking is so immersive, but I can only use it on the restricted standalone version

[high reef]

I only saw someone use it once and it was a trip, was really neat to see someone waggle their finger left to right at me

[torpid saffron]

It's great fun, shame meta are douches about it

To be fair I'm not sure how well my PC can even handle the pcvr version, cuz I've only got a 970

[woven kite]

I don’t know who else may be experiencing this issue but there’s been problems with loading other peoples avatars and the visibility of who’s online and who isn’t. Ever since the last update there’s been several issues with loading things and I for sure know it isn’t just me. My friends have been experiencing the same thing 😭😭

[bright marlin]

Have there been any updates for users who can’t log in at all?

[bold mountain]

Question: What is the best for full body tracking on Quest 2?

[visual crater]

i cannot start up vrchat using quest 2. anyone else?

Hi

[haughty coyote]

Everytime I try to get on a world I usually go to, it last me out…. And I keep clearing my cache.

[gray kiln]

The memory issue can’t really be fixed

It’s cuz the quest doesn’t have enough Ram

Try using more optimized worlds and avatars.

[solid stirrup]

Hello anyone up

[haughty coyote]

Morning

Interesting thing I learned

I thought there was a limit to how many megabytes I could have on vrc

Every time I hit 300, it says my cache is full

I hit 800 the other day

[primal jay]

Avatar's are limited to 10MB (each) and worlds are limited to 100MB (each).
The content cache goes up to 20GB of PC and maybe the same on Quest, not sure.

[haughty coyote]

I know that

I'm saying I'm usually limited to 300 before I'm out of space and need to clear my cache

I don't know the limit on oculus. I get stopped at 300 but like I said, I hit 800 megabytes the other day before my system ran out of memory

[primal jay]

Cache and memory aren't the same.
Memory is the RAM, the 6GB.
Cache is stored on the storage.

Clearing the cache might be helping, but could also just be a placebo.

[grave ridge]

it’s a good day
