@ me for response

haughty coyote
#

I've been having difficulty connecting to VRChat. Every time I attempt to launch the game these error message shows up: "Make sure your device has a working internet connection and restart VRChat" I don't use a pc. Any ideas on how I can fix this (I have a very fast consistent internet connection, its just whenever I try to play vrchat I get that message) I am in the blue space screen and I see the vrchat logo roating, I have done a factory reset and reinstalled still no luck

unreal veldt
#

can anybody help?

#

it's still broken

#

as in

#

it moves, i can grab things

#

but it doesn't show hand gestures

#

or trigger what it usually does

haughty coyote
#

What headset?

unreal veldt
#

Quest

haughty coyote
#

Ah right. Lol
Uh, I know oculus just put out an update that seemed to break a lot of people's tracking and some input. Maybe it might be due to that?

unreal veldt
#

but the thing is, it's only broken in VRC

#

well

#

vrc is the only one really with gestures

#

but if it was the update wouldn't it also affect the left hand?

haughty coyote
#

I don't know.

unreal veldt
#

hm

past prairie
#

is there a mod here

tawdry swift
#

Many

south wedge
#

Is it me or the vrchat world keeps crashing on me

tawdry swift
#

Thats you

plucky orchid
#

why is freind list lagging

azure mantle
#

blue, thats bruh af

tawdry swift
#

i dont know what you mean 👀

#

@plucky orchid click expand to refresh it

jagged trench
#

and unlikely to ever support it

#

as you wouldn't have any way to control your character movement

#

and apparently due to how it works it can not track both the controllers and the hands at the same time

haughty coyote
tawdry swift
#

cool

waxen pilot
#

According to the SDK that came out today, you can actually use 1 controller and 1 hand, even though the UI that’s currently there doesn’t do that

#

So vrchat on the quest can totally do that. It currently supports 1 controller 👍

unreal veldt
#

hey I fixed the issue with the hand

rose patio
#

Any news on Hand tracking? I’m doubtful it’ll happen but was curious if devs had said anything after getting the SDK

unreal egret
#
  1. Is Oculus Quest best budget option for VR?

  2. Also does it support body tracking?

Can't find a buying guide.

  1. May anyone @ me with links to purchase the items needed for the full experience with body tracking?

  2. Do I need a beast graphics card for VR Chat?

haughty coyote
#
  1. No
azure mantle
#

can you not see I'm making a write-up

#

thanks. vrcAevSip

haughty coyote
#

huh

azure mantle
#

1. if you're planning to do PCVR, get a Rift S or save even more bucks with an Odyssey+ depending if you don't mind WMR's controllers and slightly lesser tracking volume

2. Oculus Link on SteamVR will support any frankenstein FBT method you'll throw at it just like other roomscale headsets.

3. You have multiple options for FBT.
a) HTC Vive Trackers and Base Stations (Around 500 dollars) gives the best tracking
b) PlayStation Move controllers and PSEye cameras using PSMoveService and KinectToVR 0.6.0 (price varies between 150-250 dollars depending on luck and availability) only 30hz tracking but with 3 cameras has quality similar to Vive trackers.
c) Nolo with Driver4VR (around 200-350) solid tracking, but because of the singular external sensor, is mostly front-facing.
d) Xbox One Kinect with KinectToVR (around 70-90 dollars) mostly front-facing, can't do some poses, 60hz tracking, completely gives up when facing away from it as it can't tell what way your body is facing.
e) Xbox 360 Kinect with KinectToVR (around 10-25 dollars) 30hz compared to One, still works sideways but is definitely on the verge of giving up, and turning your body into mashed potato. Still does the job for a lot of people and is pretty much unbeatable value at the price of a Happy Meal.

4. Personally I would recommend a 1660 or 1660 TI for VR at all. I'm running on a 1050 TI and while it's playable. Most VR games are pushing it to the limit. You definitely don't need a 2080 or a 5700xt to enjoy high-quality VR on PC, but you also shouldn't skimp out.

5. $$$ BONUS $$$ You also want a somewhat recent semi-high-end CPU (last 5 years), plenty of RAM and a good motherboard with enough USB bandwidth if running Oculus Link.

Holy shit

#

You wrote a whole ess

azure mantle
#

yee

haughty coyote
#

Essay

azure mantle
#

It's important that people know what they're getting into with VR

haughty coyote
#

That’s great

unreal egret
#

@azure mantle Thank you sir

#

@azure mantle I appreciate you taking the time to type a detailed response. Saved it in my Google Keep for future reference. Sounds like I gotta spend more than I think because probably gotta upgrade my computer. Need to make more money to buy all this stuff lol. Plus got the girlfriend to take care of too. Guess I gotta wait a little longer

azure mantle
#

protip: dont buy an og vive or a rift cv1 unless theres an insane deal, and stay the FUCK away from the vive cosmos

#

just follow that and honestly, it's hard to fuckup otherwise

livid rampart
#

oof haha

#

yeah ive just been looking at videos and i definitely decided i dont id rather have an oculus

#

probably mainly becouse of comfort and controllers

#

and public opinion

#

im pretty happy with my choice for the quest and im excited to get it for christmas :)

warped hill
azure mantle
#

convert music to ogg

#

reduce texture size

#

reduce baked lighting resolution

#

literally any single of those will get you the size reduction needed

haughty coyote
sharp bay
#

@azure mantle Crunching baked lighting works wonders for size.

azure mantle
#

yee

covert iris
#

0-0

warped hill
#

@azure mantle I have done every one of those. I have a bunch of rooms for quest. That room just has a ton of stuffs

past fjord
#

i love how its only 0.89 mb too big

sacred lava
#

@rose patio it probably wont happen but i hope so

#

but there is now a hand tracking game on sidequest

#

apparently the rendering of it is slower then the response of it.. but the occlusion happens quickly too

rose patio
#

Hmmm.

exotic ruin
#

I’m getting a quest battery any recommendations?

azure mantle
#

literally any large capacity battery bank should do. If you have Amazon Prime, I'm pretty sure their battery banks will end up cheaper

#

and a USB-C cable with a right-angle connector at the end

exotic ruin
#

Lol Ik but I heard some are better then others and would like to know if any of you have a certain preference

haughty coyote
#

So idk if this is the right channel, but one of my friends has been searching for the person uses the Dapiviki account? I forgot you spell it. He said she hasn’t been online for quite a few days.

jagged trench
#

well it is almost Christmas so that's not too surprising

haughty coyote
#

I was told she hasn’t been on since Sunday.

sharp bay
#

Not the right channel, also there are over 20000 people on this server, why do you think anyone would have noticed her?

azure mantle
#

env, theres actually over 100k people on here

sharp bay
#

Oh wow, it's gone up a bit since I last checked.

opaque lodge
#

VRchat is going to the moon

young nimbus
#

Hey would anyone like to join a quest only group for vr chat it’s a one time offer

#

Dm me if want in

tawdry wyvern
#

I dont have a quest 💁

young nimbus
#

But ur in quest general tho

hallow shell
#

It’s a little hard for me to find groups of quest players who are actually chatty, but maybe that’s just me.

tawdry wyvern
#

I can just stop upload quest stuff and private the past one if people start to segrageted themself from other plateform

worldly rapids
#

But then you'd be part of the problem. 😭

haughty coyote
#

Is it bad to have Avatars that can crash someone

jagged trench
#

incredibly bad

exotic ruin
#

Super bad -.-

worthy dune
#

how is that even a question

south wedge
#

Quest going to have full body tracking later hehehehhe

jagged trench
#

it's not going to as that's not really doable without an external camera currently

south wedge
#

Oh uh...

#

Probably idc about camera tho same as vive

jagged trench
#

the Vive uses external sensors

#

so that's functionally the same thing as cameras as far as the Vive being able to see your legs when you're not looking at them

#

like the quest is pretty much doing guesswork when your hands are behind your back

azure mantle
#

@south wedge Antilatency makes BUSINESS solutions for location-based entertainment. You cannot buy this as a consumer. And no retail app or game is going to make use of it.

south wedge
#

Guess were gonna wait more than months then

azure mantle
#

you're not going to see FBT on Quest, ever.

#

The Oculus SDK as it currently stands does not support more than 3-point tracking

#

and there is no demand from "mainstream VR" consumers for FBT

jagged trench
#

and also considering Facebook Horizons Oculus has no interest in legs

#

FBT is a expensive toy for folks on vrchat and Neo VR

azure mantle
#

I can't believe Facebook used their billions of dollar to figure out how to make IK not garbage. They just removed it!

south wedge
#

^^ That hit me really hard im in disappointed rn

azure mantle
#

Look, go buy a fuckin gaming rig, an xbone kinect and the oculus link cable

#

then come back here and I'll help ya set up your FBT

#

then you'll sell your Quest and Link cable 2 months later and go buy an Index and trackers

jagged trench
#

so yeah an expensive toy

azure mantle
#

Now

#

if you can do us a favor

jagged trench
#

considering you just suggested they spend like 1700 bucks

azure mantle
#

If you see someone on Discord or in VRChat claiming that the Quest is going to have full-body tracking literally at any point in the future.

#

Tell them what we just told you.

south wedge
#

Im about to switch to vive

azure mantle
#

Vive is almost 4 years old, has terrible godrays, breaks if you look at it funny

#

HTC is boutta make themselves bankrupt if they continue on the way they're doing with Cosmos and Viveport

south wedge
#

Then wth Im I suppose to buy?

azure mantle
#

Rift S, Index or Odyssey+

#

No other headset really matters rn

#

or is worth the money, from a factual point of view

south wedge
#

Rift S has low quality is it that true or low latency?

azure mantle
#

that's very false

#

the Rift S' LCD panel uses an RGB stripe layout to give percieved higher resolution despite only being 1440p

lost tulip
#

Latency isn’t an issue at all

azure mantle
#

The 80hz refresh rate is not going to fuck you in the ass unless you're a nolife Index hermit running at 144hz and only taking off your headset 4 times a week to piss and eat

south wedge
#

Lol

azure mantle
#

and even then, you'd adapt in a week

#

The only thing that sucks balls about Rift S imo, is the audio

#

but if you already have your own earbuds or headphones, you'll be fine

south wedge
#

Thats ok tho

azure mantle
#

And also the lack of physical IPD

lost tulip
#

Well I think it’s not that bad at all. Switching from headset sucks for like the first 10 minutes but the speakers aren’t that bad. Ofc you won’t have IMAX quality bass or anything but they are decent for VRChat and Beat Saber

jagged trench
#

I would probably Focus first on the computer and the Kinect if you already have the quest so that you have more time to save up for the PC headset

south wedge
#

Rn now my objective buying cheap parts

#

For cable link isnt is the same thing that your charging rn?

jagged trench
south wedge
#

The disappointed! Flips Table

azure mantle
#

Ah yes, but you can get a 13 dollar Anker cable on Amazon and it's like 3.5 meters

#

definitely not enough if you plan to move around and do FBT, but yknow

#

its a 13 dollar 12footer

south wedge
#

What do you mean fbt theres an alt to do that???

#

Or im just dumb about vr

jagged trench
#

nope basically they're just pointing out you're likely to trip on the cable with it that shorts if you're doing full-body tracking

south wedge
#

Hold up what product are you talking about for fbt

jagged trench
#

we haven't discussed any product yet

south wedge
#

confused

jagged trench
#

we were just noticing if you plan on full-body tracking eventually you would want a longer cable

azure mantle
#

if youre tracking your entire body, youll want to be walking around your room. if the cable is 3 meters long. youll trip, fall over and die

south wedge
#

For cable ik how to organize it not need to worry

jagged trench
#

organizations not going to help you if the cables too short

south wedge
#

Im saying is I dont wanna move around much

jagged trench
#

then why are you interested in full-body tracking

#

it's pretty much useless if you're going to be standing in place

#

700 bucks really isn't worth it to just wiggle a leg occasionally

south wedge
#

Well... people kinda bored using it in vrchat sometime

#

Hmm I guess thats reason no other use

jagged trench
#

well full-body tracking kind of useless except for something like vrchat as you're not going to implement a feature that folks to buy extra Hardware to use it whereas that's kind of okay for a social vr app

azure mantle
#

most times you find FBT users

#

theyre extenuated from having actually moved

#

hence they sit/lay down so as not to die

south wedge
#

Oof

#

So im just going to rely on quest just to lay down in bed

jagged trench
#

yes it's physically exhausting to run around and dance and all of that with a VR headset on top of your head

south wedge
#

I also hate controller really much heavier that I couldnt play beatsaber

jagged trench
#

well you're pretty much bones then as hand tracking won't let you play Beat saber or vrchat

south wedge
#

Im relating to Vive controllers that like 10 pounds >_>

#

Like about to break the wall instantly

#

If also straps were weak

jagged trench
#

do you have any problems with your quest controllers

south wedge
#

Oh nah its the best BUT

#

My left controller movement has a problem

#

Its going to be hard to explain

jagged trench
#

unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable enough in Hardware to try to suggest to fix

south wedge
#

But lets say that when you touch the joystick move up and the joystick automatically moves down when not touching the joystick at least 0.1 seconds.

#

It irritates me I have to rely my right joy stick for use

#

And for buying another controller on that price oh hek no

jagged trench
#

can't really help with your problem there

#

but honestly it sounds like from your use case of VR full-body tracking would be an overly expensive toy for you if your preferred way to play is on your bed

south wedge
#

My saving is on already on pc

restive whale
#

why do worlds just not even try loading

#

even when its quest compatible

sharp bay
#

Normally a network issue

restive whale
#

it works fine on desktop though

hola amigo

pearl mica
#

I can't wait

haughty coyote
#

Nice

pearl mica
#

just got it in the nick of time

#

I decided to get a quest for the portableness

haughty coyote
#

Cool cool

pearl mica
#

I tried a demo at best buy and was amazed

#

so I decided oculus quest was a good choice

haughty coyote
#

Yeah it's definitely good as it's own unit. It gets a lot of negativity, but honestly I think it's a good headset. Especially now that you can use it on a PC as well

pearl mica
#

the demo guy was real nice and added me on Oculus as well

haughty coyote
#

Oh nice!

pearl mica
#

he had two accounts 1 for work 1 for personal use

#

he added me on both 😛

haughty coyote
#

My bestbuy didn't have a demo, but I almost became a sales person to the sales person as they were asking me how VR was, if it was worth it, how does it compare to psvr

pearl mica
#

also when I enabled hand tracking

#

he tried it out and his mind was blown

#

since he didnt fiddle with the settings too much

eager pebble
#

are there any quest user here available as a test subject?

pearl mica
#

what do you plan on doing

eager pebble
#

i need someone to test clone my uploaded quest avatar to see if its working

#

i don't have quest to test it so...

pearl mica
#

oorf

eager pebble
#

well let me know if anyone is freee, could really use some testers

worldly rapids
#

You could also upload your quest avatar as a PC avatar to test it. That's how I test mine, but my PC and Quest avatar are always the same so it's easy for me.

eager pebble
#

@worldly rapids yeah but then i want someone to wear it so i can orbit around it in-game and observe the inside and stuff

worldly rapids
#

You could have a PC user use it for you, right? Should work

sharp bay
#

@eager pebble I can be in a minute?

eager pebble
#

@sharp bay can you? hm...let me know when you are

sharp bay
#

Im on

eager pebble
#

@sharp bay whats your ign

sharp bay
#

Same

digital wasp
#

Can I play Vrchat with the Oculus Go?

haughty coyote
#

No

mint pumice
#

ah

#

anyone here?

azure mantle
#

correction: you used to on the testing build, it wasnt a supported use case and is long gone. otherwise use ALVR connected to your PC over Wi-Fi and play VRChat there.

woeful cypress
#

well with go's controller tho? cirBaka

haughty coyote
#

@digital wasp yes you can

#

Using oculus App

worldly rapids
#

Welcome

azure mantle
#

@haughty coyote GO, not quest

#

also, paul, it works, vrchat handles single-controller input fine

restive whale
#

If anyone wants to hangout in vrchat feel free to dm ^^ Need new friends :P on the quest obviously :P

cursive turret
#

hi guys

#

how is vrchat on quest

haughty coyote
#

Use an oculus rift s

#

Its better

cursive turret
#

im gonna get the link

sharp bay
#

Pretty terrible to be honest. It's super limited and what does exist is pretty horrible compared to the PC experience.

cursive turret
#

f

sharp bay
#

If you're buying for the sake of PCVR, get the Rift S as the picture's higher res and the headset is more comfortable.

cursive turret
#

i have a hella good gaming pc but i wanted to get the quest because i travel a lot and want to bring my vr with me, im hoping that the oculous link cable will be rlly good tho, because im planning on playing most of my games on the pc with link

#

but if its trash im gonna sell it and buy rift s

sharp bay
#

Just buy a cheap $9 cable. As long as it's USB 3.1, it'll work.

#

The only reason the Oculus cable is more expensive is because it's fibre optic so they can make it longer, that's literally the only advantage. So unless you really need 5 metres over 3, save your money.

cursive turret
#

yeh true but i hear a lot of people saying that the cable is going to bring less latency, better quality and stuff like that, i have no idea if that is true tho lol, im probably going to buy the 10ft anker cable on amazon for now untill i see a review of the link when it comes out

sharp bay
#

It's not true. For some reason Quest owners like to make up nonsense constantly and I genuinely have no idea why.

cursive turret
#

Lol

#

I think the quest with the link is still gonna be fine enough quality for me to play vr chat

sharp bay
#

Yeah, it'll be fine.

azure mantle
#

bits are bits

cursive turret
#

I just ordered the cheap link cable vrcEretNice rlly excited now lol

west sparrow
#

how to emote

azure mantle
worldly rapids
#

@azure mantle Sorry to @ you but are the controls similar to Quest controls? If so I would love to have that chart in my world since a lot of Quest users that are new don't seem to know how to do them.

plain flower
#

they should be exactly the same

#

since quest controllers are literally touch controllers with a flipped ring

worldly rapids
#

A lot of Quest users have told me what I tell them doesn't work but maybe I'm just explaining it badly. lol

sharp bay
#

@worldly rapids Quest and Rift S controls are the same

#

(literally the same controllers)

worldly rapids
#

Thank you, that's good to know. Now I know when someone says, "That's not how you do hand gun!" I know they're wrong. Haha

sharp bay
#

Could be an avatar with some sort of override in that instance.

worldly rapids
#

Oh, it's that they were using an avatar I made and hand gun was to make the prop spawn but they couldn't get it even though it was hand gun.

sharp bay
#

Odd. Sure that it actually works on Quest?

worldly rapids
#

Yeah, they got it eventually, but they always mention that the way I told them to do it was incorrect. I'm a pretty lousy teacher though. 🙃

distant mountain
#

Hello, i've got kind of a big problem and i think it's account related. So when i log in on the quest just after installing VRC everything works fine, but as soon as i close the game and reopen it i am stuck in a infinite world change loop. I tried it with a unlinked new ocolus acc and it didn't happen but as soon as i linked the account and relogged the problem was back

azure mantle
#

@sharp bay theyre right here ^

distant mountain
#

Can we get this fixed somehow or would it be smarter to create a new account and re-add all old friends/redo all blocks/favs, etc

sharp bay
#

@distant mountain What's with the name? You look like you're impersonating the official bot.

distant mountain
#

i have that name since 2017. that's just a temporary account until i can regain access to my main account which was hacked

azure mantle
#

login with the clean acc that works, then go to settings advanced settings, and clear both the cache and userprofile

#

then reinstall the game

#

then login

distant mountain
#

@azure mantle i already tried a clean uninstall + reinstall

#

not even that worked

azure mantle
#

then idfk

distant mountain
#

it was basically broken on a brand new out of the box quest

empty salmon
#

@distant mountain you sure it isn't that your home world is PC only?

distant mountain
#

that's why i think it has smth to do with the acc

empty salmon
#

If you uninstall and reinstall vrchat, it should take you to tutorial world. Use that opportunity to do Reset Home in the worlds menu

distant mountain
#

@distant mountain you sure it isn't that your home world is PC only?

shouldn't that just throw me in default home instead of doing what it does then?

empty salmon
#

no, it's broken

distant mountain
#

oh

empty salmon
#

at least it was a month ago

distant mountain
#

i'll give that a try

empty salmon
#

we should really get a canny filed. it basically means PC users won't ever use quest :-p

sharp bay
#

It's fine as long as their home is Quest compatible, I cross platform all the time.

empty salmon
#

yea but not if your home isn't Quest compatible

#

as I don't play on quest every day, I quite enjoy having a home with some crazy complicated PC only effects. At one point it was Treehouse in the Shade. Currently it's "Camera Test" because that's a fun home world

sharp bay
#

A dummy Quest version of worlds isn't a terrible idea...

empty salmon
#

given that Open Beta has meant unity 2018 for a couple months now, I'm guessing they mean it's fixed in 2018 when that gets released after the holidays

native totem
#

Oh, hi. Uhhh, im kinda just gonna be here...

#

Sorry if thats something that bugs you.

sharp bay
#

"Fixed in 2019.4.1, which is currently in Open Beta. We don't have a Quest Open Beta, so this can't be tested by Community, but we've internally verified this is fixed." - Sounds like it

distant mountain
#

thank chu

ebon minnow
#

Merry Christmas everyone!

fading kraken
#

when you get an oculus quest for christmas and the cable you ordered for oculus link comes the next day

#

:d

sharp bay
#

You could use ALVR in the meantime if you have good WiFi.

tawdry swift
#

At least try it standalone

sharp bay
#

@tawdry swift Have you? Everything looks so bad 😦

tawdry swift
#

I haven’t but from what I’ve heard it’s not super awful

#

If I did get past the Facebook gate and get one I’d at least try it standalone, you know

sharp bay
#

Streaming to it is ok, but in VRC natively, there's no anti-aliasing, textures are all very low res, everything is very polygonal, etc. The few worlds you can go to are all super basic in every way.

tawdry swift
#

The junkyard, crafty climbers? 😔

fading kraken
#

how do I use ALVR?

sharp bay
#

I've not tried any climbing maps because Quest doesn't track your hands above your head, it just freaks out so I'm not sure that would work well.

fading kraken
#

do I have to downlaod extra shit to my quest

sharp bay
#

I'll have to try out the Junkyard.

tawdry swift
#

They look identical on both platforms

#

Both are my maps if it wasn’t obvious

fading kraken
#

wait

#

aww shit, I dont have a usb to usb C cable

tawdry swift
#

But a lot of vrc is the social part not just the poorly made maps by amateurs

#

Poorly optimised rather

sharp bay
#

I know they're yours, but they kinda fall under the super basic category 😉 That's essentially all you can do on Quest, super stylised worlds to try and hide the limitations.

tawdry swift
#

Yea none of them are feature rich

#

Maybe udon? 😔

sharp bay
#

So yeah, as I said, your world gets by on being super stylised so you're able to use few textures and low res ones at that, but the world is still small. Definitely one of the better (best?) Quest maps out there. But even then, on my own in your world, I'm only getting ~36fps. So taking into account the optimisation and such, it still struggles.

#

(and it's aliased to hell due to all the sharp lines paired with the lack of anti-aliasing on the headset)

tawdry swift
#

Frame rate shouldn’t be that bad

#

Might have fucked something up on the Christmas update

#

The map is one material one mesh..

azure mantle
#

inb4 particles

tawdry swift
#

I think so

violet lodge
#

Yeah 36 fps for blue's world sounds pretty weird 🤔

tawdry swift
#

I have snow fall didn’t realise it would be this bad

azure mantle
#

wouldn't it actually be better if it was separated in chunks with occlusion culling?

#

cause now you're rendering the entire map every frame

tawdry swift
#

Yea but it’s so low poly anyway triping

sharp bay
#

Isn't making it one mesh somewhat counterproductive? As it basically means you get zero culling?

azure mantle
#

I guess

sharp bay
#

lol, god damnit Trip

tawdry swift
#

Yes but it’s so low poly anyway

sharp bay
#

Sorry, I'm wearing the headset and trying to type while looking at my desktop display via the nose hole.

tawdry swift
#

Less than most avatars tbh 👀

fading kraken
#

ehh

#

imma try the link beta

#

managed to find a cable

sharp bay
#

I was thinking of your other map when I went to this one. I wonder if the one I was thinking of was crafty climbers, let me go check.

tawdry swift
#

Cc is the cardboard one

fading kraken
#

fucking hell

#

21.3 gb

sharp bay
#

Ah, yeah I was thinking of CC.

#

CC looks much better because the softer colour pallet blends and doesn't create those sharp aliased edges.

#

But what is the music? It's like a perfect blend of Final Fantasy and Last of the Summer Wine, rofl.

Framerate is a solid 72 almost all the time though, with infrequent drops to mid 60s.

It’s Pikmin 3 garden of hope

That frame rate sounds about right

Or remove the snowy particles

wait, are the snow particles using transparency?

Yep I’m going to get rid of them ASAP

Oh no, the cardinal rule of Quest, no transparency 😛

I know but snow is coool

Haha. I remember when someone said no transparency, I was like... but... how the what? That rules out so many things.

just got my quest and downloaded vr chat

#

i opened it and its taking forever to load, how long does it usually do that?

#

at this point i just put down the headaet and let it load on its own

haughty coyote
#

It should be under a minute

#

Vrchat is breaking down again

empty salmon
#

@livid rampart have you used vrchat on PC before? Sometimes your home world needs to be reset on pc if it's not quest compatible

livid rampart
#

i have used it on pc before

#

but i havent even logged into my steam account on the auest yet

#

so theres no way for it to even know what my home world is

#

and its been there for like 5 minutes already

haughty coyote

does anyone here know how to upload modles

tiny nimbus

Any news on when mics will be back up? The newest update turned them off

ugh

livid rampart

it looks Like this

livid rampart

now it says "cannot connect to vr chat " or something

#

" Cannot Connect to VR Chat

make sure your device has a working internet connection and restart VR chat"

empty salmon
#

@livid rampart your network is having trouble. What country are you in and what internet service provider / carrier do you use?

livid rampart
#

my internet is fine tho

#

i live in germany

#

idk lemme check

#

bloop

empty salmon
#

Ok, I am not aware of any issues from germany: though telekom isn't known for their amazing service, it should work...

Do you use your own wireless router or one provided by Telekom? The issue is probably either on your end somehow so I would check your wireless settings... though vrchat did have some issues last night so maybe there is a connection problem

livid rampart
#

i dont know

#

i mean- it's pretty wired xD

#

im sorry im really bad with tech stuff like this

#

but my wifi should be fine?
i can do everything else with no issue, inluding multiplayer games on pc

woeful cypress
#

Telekom IS known for their direct / good service for me (Im on Telekom since ages) they're the actual DSL/Fibre net provider for many places that can actually do stuff unlike others.
(Ofc every company has good and bad callcenter people which you might end up with initially. cirBlech)
And yes, there shouldn't be general issue with them. If there are it's local infrastructure issues. (where it does not matter if you chose Telekom or a different "leasing" ISP for DSL / Fibre)

If you're using their Speedport routers, they can definitely be hit or miss and you should look into a propper Wireless AP eventually. cirComfy

hoary mountain

Hey Does Anyone here Know a fix for a Loading Loop?

you can try restarting your router.

#

Also One More Thing Is It Normal That i can only see quest supported avatars?

woeful cypress
#

It is normal that you can only see quest supported avatar on the quest... yes cirBaka

hoary mountain

I really like how oculus diddn't include a microfibre cloth with the quest

hoary mountain

ikr

fading kraken
#

its like they want you to damage your lenses so you buy a new one 😄

lusty linden
#

...

fading kraken
#

also a thing I don't get about the whole quest supported avatar stuff is that the quest is meant to have a polygon limit of 10k

#

but then it refuses to show you avatars that are under the limit

woeful cypress
#

the default is 7,5k

fading kraken
#

oh

woeful cypress
#

you can raise the default to 10k

fading kraken
#

how do you do that?

woeful cypress
#

dunno, propably somewhere in the security / performance menue

fading kraken
#

welp no point trying to bypass the limit set, imma just use oculus link when my cable gets here

#

(rip offical cable not released in the uk yet.)

You set the Safety advanced menu to allow Poor avatars by default.

Okay cool

My mic seems to be working fine for my quest. What issues you having?

sharp bay

I've been told I'm very quiet even with it on max and the quality isn't great, so you may need to talk a lot louder.

Yeah same. Just be loud and obnoxious and you’re good

@frosty shard

ruby halo
#

How can I make it so I can see perf avatars without doing the click on avatar and pressing show avatar

azure mantle
#

you can only set avatars to show automatically up to poor

#

which means 4 materials and 10000 polygons

#

anyone above that you'll always have to enable manually

#

because there's technically no limit to certain things after that, if you made all very poor avatars show automatically, loading into any populated world would crash you instantly just from the GPU and memory load of all the avatars

ruby halo
#

Oh

quiet tusk
#

Ayyy fellow quest users

#

So what's the deal with airline food?

#

I've only had vr for 2 days now and it's so weird after playing it for so long, like it still feels like I'm in a game

#

I feel like my movements and phone screen are like lagging behind its so bizarre

haughty coyote
#

That's common when you're new to VR. It goes away after a few days of getting used to VR

quiet tusk
#

Ok thx, tho when u put it that way it sounds like almost a drug [joke]

haughty coyote
#

Your brain is just getting used to the different senses. VR over time also seems to train you to fight against motion sickness and other stuff as you get used to it

quiet tusk
#

Ok, I've never rly had a prob with motion sickness

#

It definitely needs time to get used to tho

#

I've never worn glasses and it just feels like that screen and lenses are just always tracked to my eyes irl

can someone help me to put models in my world

livid rampart
#

it wooorks!! Haha, trying out avatars and goofing off in front of a mirror is way too much fun 😂

#

a few questions tho-

#
  1. how do i jump
  2. how do expressions work
  3. how do i record videos on the quest? if i close it only gives me the option to take a screenshot
#

oh also, does the character not turnnaround with me if i move my head/body (aka hands)?

#

i mean it seems not to work if i just move my body and arms, but idk if it works with the headset since.. well.. obviously i couldnt look in the mirror to check then 😂

spiral depot
#

I can't speak to the controls on Quest, but your avatar's body turns with the headset unless you have a tracker for your waist (which I'm reasonably certain is not compatible with Quest, but there may be some workarounds if tethered)

livid rampart
#

yeahh i definitely wanna do that someday haha, but not now

#

i managed to answer 1 and 3 myself

#

but i still dont know about 2

#

none of the characters i had seemed to change expression based on my fingers

#

do they just all not have any expressions..??

sharp bay
#

That's done in Unity using animators

spiral depot
#

It's entirely possible they don't have expressions. I'm not sure how common it is for Quest avatars

fading kraken
#

turns out the 1050 is the worst graphics card in existance

#

when you use it for vr, it does that screenmelt effect

#

and it really fucks with your eyes

#

and any FX series cpus

livid rampart
fading kraken
#

also scribble, take that to oculus support, vrchat aint responable for their app

livid rampart
#

oh whoops wrong discord

fading kraken
#

they don't have a discord.

sharp bay
#

@fading kraken Well yeah, that GPU is below the minimum spec even for the lower res headsets 4 years ago...

fading kraken
#

okay I need help with a cpu

#

would any of the FX series cpus be able to run vr

#

at any quality with an RX 580

#

cause im stuck on what to get first, replace my 1050 with an RX580?
or get a ryzen 3 2200G with 16GB ram and a new motherboard

haughty coyote
#

damn why is vrchat so laggy on quest

fading kraken
#

tell me about it.

#

my shitstain of a pc cannot even run steam home

#

audio kept cutting, avatars werent loading, and laggy

fading kraken
#

I couldn't even open the fucking menu

haughty coyote
#

when i went near people the game would freeze

sharp bay
#

The FX series were never good for VR, so that's not recommended. Both kinda need to go to be honest 😦

worldly rapids
#

@haughty coyote Try playing in more optimized/smaller worlds, make sure you're not showing a bunch of very poor performance avatar, and I'd stick to worlds with maybe 12 or less players possibly.

cloud shard
#

Is it possible to have a hand position 7 on the quest?

#

haughty coyote
#

@short wraith oculus link works on it's own. VRChat will just think the quest with link is a rift S and launch the Rift S version. So yes

livid rampart
#

hey i have a question

#

are you guys aware of a link avatar for the quest?

#

i can never find specific avatars for vr chat anywhere >:( ESPECIALLY for the quest, NOT EVEN on google

haughty coyote
#

oof

west bane
#

you could potentially upload a link avatar yourself

livid rampart
#

?

west bane
#

Yes as long as you are ranked up to the level of new user it is possible to upload custom avatars.

#

You may not find something that is ready to upload to vrchat. If you find a rigged model you can get it ready to upload yourself.

haughty coyote
#

Yeah

rich shard
#

Got a language warning for no reason, strange

#

Anyways

#

Okay it's that word

#

Right

#

My avatar doesn't have an animator and won't animate in vrchat is the error I get

#

And I'm not too sure how to deal with it

west bane
#

Does the top most part of the avatar have a animator script (where you would put the vrc_avatar_descriptor

rich shard
#

I had to add an animator component

#

And atm it's now saying the feet and upper arms haven't been mapped

you install unity on your pc

and use the sdk there to upload them to your vrchat account

and then they show up in the game

Sorry, I have a quick question: Is Oculus Quest, the new one bundled with Vader Immortal, does that still run differently then what a normal Oculus Rift S or HTC Cosmos would show in VR Chat? As in, on a Oculus Quest, some avatar's don't show up, right?

fading kraken
#

but oculus link beta exists

#

if your pc can run an oculus rift S

#

it can run the quest

dawn wigeon
#

Oculus Link Beta?

fading kraken
sharp bay
#

But the Microphone doesn't work on the Link making it pretty useless right now, no?

fading kraken
#

uhmm yeah it does work

#

its pretty good too

#

the rift S doesen't come with built in headphones or mic

sharp bay
#

Was that fixed in a patch then?

fading kraken
#

oh wait

sharp bay
#

Rift S most definitely has a built in Mic

fading kraken
#

you mean link

haughty coyote
#

What? The rift S has a mic and speakers the same as quest

fading kraken
#

well you would use your own headset anyways if you wanted link

sharp bay
#

... what? Well no, the whole point of an all in one headset is that you use the built in functionality, e.g. mic and headphones.

#

So anyway, does or does not the microphone work with Link currently?

fading kraken
#

well crossplatform HMDs are new tech

#

idk actually

sharp bay
#

Well, less "new tech" and more a "dirty hack" but still.

fading kraken
#

cause when I tried, it was dogshit, screenmelt effect = eye cancer

#

cause fuck my gpu

dawn wigeon
#

Why I was asking, is that the Rift's are sold out where I am, but they do have the WMD for cheap. I have a rig that can run a VR Headset pretty darn well, and most games at Ultra with no slowdown.

sharp bay
#

There are some decent WMRs like the Reverb, Odysee+, etc.

haughty coyote
#

Odyssey+ screen is still awesome

lone sundial

hello, i was wondering why most worlds aren't available on the quest? like i remember being able to play slenderman etc with friends but i can't find any of the worlds used to on pc

and are they going to change that?

devout magnet
#

I think some world just wont be compatible but im not sure

lone sundial
#

aw ok, thanks

sharp bay
#

Basically the Quest isn't anywhere near as powerful as a full PC and thus the worlds and avatars can't just be straight ported over. Even if it was, it's a different architecture and the content needs to be recompiled and rebuilt explicitly for Android instead.

worldly rapids
#

A lot of avatars are on Quest now, just a good portion are at very poor performance. Be sure to at least change your minimal displayed avatars based on performance to Poor so you can see more avatars. As for the very poor ones I honestly wouldn't bother with those even though you can see them by hitting "Show Avatar" on them.

twin epoch
#

Bruh same need VRchat friends 😔

keen sage
#

tbh I don't understand what makes the quest different from pc based still

worldly rapids
#

The Quest is not as powerful as the PC so it has different avatar requirements. The Quest version of the game is on Android instead of PC as well so it's uploaded on Android platform and PC so everyone can see it the same way us PC users can't see a Quest avatar if it's only uploaded on Quest. Very tired, I hope this is as easy to understand as I think it is. lol

keen sage
#

I meant in general but I get that

worldly rapids
#

Oh, my bad

keen sage
#

no worries

worldly rapids
#

My favorite that I saw was someone who uploaded some anime girl on the PC version of the avatar and some random ugly dude for the Quest version so PC users were like, "Oh, that's cute." And the Quest users were just cracking up at the PC users.

azure mantle
#

💡 is a thing in unicode you know?

haughty coyote
#

Regarding the quest versus PC avatar matter, What about if you plug thr quest in with a Link cable and render graphics on the PC

azure mantle
#

then thats just running on a PC

#

those that wanted to run PC on Quest and had the rig for it have been doing so with ALVR and VD for months

#

It doesn't bring anyone anywhere

#

The Quest is simply low-spec, the fact it can run VRChat is due to the limitations on avatars, which are actually pretty forgiving considering how much a 10k poly 2 material avatar with hundreds of blendshapes will actually cost on the gpu

fading kraken
#

heh thats cool, the AMD FX-6300 can even run vr, but not very well

azure mantle
#

yeah, uhh, 6300 is pushing it, might survive on WMR

fading kraken
#

yeah.

#

but hopefully an upgrade from GTX 1050 to a RX580 should stop the screenmelt effect

azure mantle
#

thats...

#

a really small upgrade

#

like 1050 to 1050ti,

fading kraken
#

maybe a little more like from 1050 to 1060

azure mantle
#

still not much of a worthy upgrade

fading kraken
#

cmon I aint paying like 250 quid for a 1070

#

I would rather buy a RX580 and ryzen 3

azure mantle
#

anyway uhh

#

screenmelt will NEVER stop

#

That's just how Oculus ASW works on desktop

fading kraken
#

oh

#

#

wait so my 1050 could possibly run link bet

#

also, 1050 can totally run fine

fading kraken
#

how do I turn ASW off?

azure mantle
#

scroll up

fading kraken
#

do I go into oculus app?

azure mantle
#

at any point while a VR app is running, press ctrl-num1

fading kraken
#

okay

azure mantle
#

I recommend you get Oculus Tray Tool

#

the first result on google is a reddit trhead with a shady looking download link, thats the right one

fading kraken
#

well the other issue I get is

azure mantle
#

My sis runs on a 4core amd apu with like no IPC compared to an FX, and a 1050, and it runs fine

fading kraken
#

you know how vr works with when you move your head, a box moves with it that displays everything

#

well lets say its moving at light speed and I can see the black void

#

displays your game.

azure mantle
#

You don't want that to go away

fading kraken
#

but well, I can see the black void

azure mantle
#

It won't go away when pressing Ctrl-Num1 or using OTT

#

Yes, that's normal

#

I can too

fading kraken
#

well hopefully with ASW off it shouldn't show as much

azure mantle
#

It will show as much, you should look into optimizing your Windows install and VR experience

fading kraken
#

its that laggy I cannot select buttons in steamvr quick menu

#

also im going to have to reactivate windows anyways when I get my new motherboard next month

imma not try link beta until I have my new gpu installed

@keen patrol You have my attention since I usually accept all friends. Any reason I shouldn't? Security risk or anything like that?

keen patrol

Not really a security thing. I just wouldn't accept friend request from someone I've never talked to before. Them being a grey (visitor) is a bad flag as well because bot accounts will naturally usually not have much play time.

Why would you if they arent a friend?

For me it's simply that it has no down side. I accept all of them and no one stalks me or talks to me again. A lot easier than answering to why I didn't friend them.

Should i buy quest for vrchat? Will i not be able to see pc-only avatars? Do i need a separate headset for audio input/output?

do you have a PC with a nvidia 970 graphics card or better / equivalent amd, and a cpu from last 7 years ?

sudden sparrow
#

No i got a weak laptop

empty salmon
#

ok, then unless you get a good enough PC, you won't be able to see PC only avatars in their avatar form

#

that said--it shows a picture of their face and arms

#

so you can still interact with them

sudden sparrow
#

Oh like stickman? Or floating arms?

empty salmon
#

floaty arms sadly... but it's ok

sudden sparrow
#

Aw haha

empty salmon
#

a lot of people are polite and will switch to a quest compatible avatar if you are talking to them, in my experience

sudden sparrow
#

What about microphone? Do i need a separate hardware to not sound noisy?

empty salmon
#

it's still a good chunk of the irreplaceable experience that is social vr

#

not all worlds, some avatars are floaty arms but everything else from the experience is there

#

quest mic issues aren't a hardware problem - I think it is just a slow processor and sometimes gets choppy

sudden sparrow

Yes i feel like I’m missing out on a lot in desktop mode 😦

when it works it's ok

you are :-p I think it's worth it if you have $400

itll never go on sale

and it can be upgraded to a pc headset with virtual desktop or a link cable...

rift s and quest are already incredibly low-priced, Oculus is barely making any profit on each unit

i feel sick after using vr

You'll get use to it, it's the motion in VR.

It's important to grow VR legs

Can anyone help with installing sidequest?

empty salmon
#

@shy spear on quest, it's really fun to play by walking across your play area and rotating your ingame character (use the snap turning). Try to avoid ingame movement controls if you can

#

it's also a great way to get exercise, and you feel like you're walking across the world, rotating your room as you go within the virtual world

sharp bay
#

Just make sure you don't accidentally walk out your house and down the street

#

That's where the real Quest begins

I wish I had more room to wander when I play on the Quest.

hey uhmm, anyone got tips for stopping fog on the lenses of quest?

if you dont breathe heavily in there youll be good

#

Does anyone use virtual desktop

sharp bay
#

Yup

unkempt scarab
#

Is it easy

sharp bay
#

Yup

#

Oculus are money grabbing assholes so it's more complicated than it needs to be, but basically you sideload VD onto the headset, download VD Streamer onto your PC and that's basically it. It'll just handle the rest automatically. You need a solid and fast 5Ghz connection though.

woeful cypress
#

I dont know what "money grabbing assholes" has to do with not allowing third party content officially to keep the ecosystem closed

#

Oculus does sell their stuff at reasonable prices at least, same for replacement parts.

sharp bay
#

You kinda answered in the second half of the first sentence there...

woeful cypress
#

Keeping a ecosystem closed has way more reasons then that.
Actually, link doesn't cost you a penny either.

#

They could have sold it as an app if they wanted to.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have a 5ghz extension

i have been getting random friend request from some people i don't know and it is a bit concerning because my friends on vrchat have told me that there have been some people with clients adding people for no reason and i don't know what to do

unkempt scarab
#

I ordered a quest on Christmas day

#

And sadly not arriving till feburary

ivory skiff
#

I haven't had any official confirmation, but I heard some of the random friend requests were people trying to DDOS the system.

unkempt scarab
#

That's bad

sharp bay
#

Wouldn't make any sense, so probably not true.

#

@empty salmon i have the rift s I accidentally wrote in this chat

unkempt scarab
#

Yall know how to prevent fogging

worldly rapids
#

Clean the lens with your heated breath until it fogs, wipe it off with a lint free cloth and jump into the headset within the few seconds. Works 100% of the time for me.

unkempt scarab

Thanks

You're welcome, hope that works out for you

I have a question

#

I’m a quest user and I imported some avatars to vrchat, but only other quest users can see me, how can I get pc users to see me as well?

sharp bay
#

@fleet cape Switch the Unity platform to Windows and upload again, it'll recompile it for PC.

#

Make sure to turn on the local cache first which will speed up any future changes or switches considerably.

Damm I do that always thought am the only person tho lol
Sadly it looks a bit weird from other people perspective take a look walk toward a big mirror
But I use smooth turn maybe snap will fix the weird walking

I feel like all quest players should meet up on a very specific date

haughty coyote

#

Does anyone know how vrchat puts a chair on the body

#

or hand

west bane
#

yes, it isn't very hard

#

you add the vrc_station script to the part of the avatar you want to have the chair

#

I recommend also adding a mesh filter as well as it will give you more control of the highlight.

If I didnt been that busy I would have like to do a map for quest people. Sorry maybe next years

jagged trench
#

so do you mean 2020 or 2021

olive creek
#

when the game allowed to use (oculus rift) is that mean all oculus like oculus rift S ...quest.. ?!

jagged trench
#

that's referring to the Oculus Rift & s as you need to go on the quest Oculus store to pick up vrchat on the quest

olive creek
#

You mean If they say oculus rift then also I can use oculus rift S @jagged trench

haughty coyote
#

Yes. They have the same controls

olive creek
#

So the game depends on controllers @haughty coyote

haughty coyote
#

Steamvr allows you to remap controllers if they don't support it properly. But rift and rift S are designed to be compatible with eachother for games

olive creek
#

I’m very thankful to u guys u help me so much ..💕🍃🙌🏻

azure mantle
#

as a general rule

#

on PC, all PCVR content can be played on all PCVR headsets

#

The only exception to that is Windows Mixed Reality native content, but I can tell you nothing on there is worth anyone's time. Library is worse than the OUYA.

Thx💕💕 @azure mantle

cerulean garden
#

every now and then when I'm playing vrchat it either gives me a black screen or it randomally sends me to my home world after playing for like 10 - 15 minutes

#

it even happens on the vrchat hub

cerulean garden
#

I found the issue. It happens whenever someone tries to load a avatar.

#

Would anyone happen to know how to fix this issue?

slate carbon
#

game is laging

latent drift
#

so as someone who's room is too small to get the oculus rift s and have room to play in, how has development on the quest been since launch? are more and more rooms and avatars cross platform by the day?

haughty coyote
#

If you did get the Oculus Link for the Quest. You will pretty see almost all the maps and the pc avatars will appear as not robot's anymore

#

Just letting all the quest users know about it just in case if you didn't know

#

about it

latent drift
#

Could you give me some pointers on where i could buy an oculus link? i'm assuming it links the quest to the pc

haughty coyote
#

The Oculus Link is currently "coming soon"

latent drift
#

i see, then im confused, why did you tell me about it?

haughty coyote
#

because

latent drift
#

i wanna be able to enjoy vrchat and other vr games, but if i buy the rift s my room would be too small to enjoy other games

haughty coyote
#

Go to the Oculus Quest website and click the "Quest" After that there should be a icon called: "Accessories"

latent drift
#

but it's still coming soon

haughty coyote
#

I am not sure when it comes out

#

Have you seen a video people using the Oculus link with VrChat?

#

on youtube

latent drift
#

the fact that it exists and it's gonna come out soon excites me though

#

cause vrchat is a game i can comfily play in my room anyway

#

and other games i've heard run really good on the quest

haughty coyote
#

I was thinking it will come out in January

#

Not sure yet

slate laurel
#

@latent drift You can use third party cables for it as well (just be sure that people say it works with Link), and for now the Link is in beta but people say it's working great so yeah

cerulean garden
#

ugh

#

vrchat keeps sending me to the main hub world and its annoying

#

is there any fixes?

tawdry wyvern
#

Reset the quest maybe

cerulean garden
#

I tried that

pearl mica
#

I get my oculus quest tommorrow and I cant wait!

haughty coyote
#

Does the microphone work on oculus link or not yet?

prime tundra
#

Does anyone know a website that I can download quest ready avatars off?

left kettle
#

@latent drift the official link cable came out and is now backorder. Or maybe it haven't been released yet in your country. You can use a decent quality cable. Look for the Anker cable on Amazon. Take one that is usbC to standard USB and that have very high transfer data. There's a red one that is thick and works.

#

@haughty coyote not yet the latest version took the mic out. Need to use an external mic or something

haughty coyote
#

how to i sent the reporting crash

#

becuse i got lots of crash

last sage
#

Copped that official Link cable bois

#

Showed up on my desk today

pulsar garnet
#

This is sort of a quest question, can you export screenshots off the quest?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

west bane
#

Yes, plug the quest into your computer using a usb c cable, and you can browse the files of the quest.

pulsar garnet
#

👍

cerulean garden
#

Does VRChat on Quest just have issues

west bane
#

What kind of issues?

cerulean garden
#

like randomly returning you to the VRChat hub during playing

#

and random black screens when joining worlds

#

and when you join a world the % gets to 100% then goes to 0.00% then makes you return to the main VRChat hub

#

@west bane

west bane
#

Those issues are on pc as well

cerulean garden
#

ah

#

but they are easier to fix on PC

#

and its really annoying on Quest

#

because like 5 minutes into playing I get sent to the VRChat hub

#

anyone who I've talked to on the Quest says that they don't experience this issue

empty salmon
#

Randomly going home is a quest issue yes.

cerulean garden
#

will it be fixed?

#

or is there any fixes?

empty salmon
#

Be on a stable wifi connection (low interference, use 802.11ac) backed by good internet service. Avoid laggy worlds with too many people.

#

It's a bug but I think triggered by lag spikes

cerulean garden
#

cant do anything about the wifi

#

but it's pretty stable

#

the worlds I join have like less than 10 people and I still get disconnected

#

do you think the bug will be fixed in the future?

woeful cypress
#

Well you can get proper wifi gear. (especially if you don't have 5 GHz yet)

#

So yes you can do something about the wifi.

#

Sometimes switching channel might allready be enough.

cerulean garden
#

I have 5GHz wifi

woeful cypress
#

How far away? 5 GHz does not go well trough walls and objects

cerulean garden
#

its downstairs :#

woeful cypress
#

Yeah, that's suboptimal for 5 GHz

cerulean garden
#

I also have a 2.4GHz connection

#

but I seem to disconnect more when I use that

woeful cypress
#

2.4 is typically heavily overcrowded

#

It has a higher reach so more people interfere with other people as ranges are longer. And the more limited bandwidths makes that issue really worse.

cerulean garden
#

do you recommend sticking to the 5GHz or use the 2.4?

woeful cypress
#

5 GHz

cerulean garden
#

alright

#

is there anything I can do to try to solve the issue or do I just wait until they release a patch?

woeful cypress
#

Cus it doesn't only have more bandwidth but also less interference cus your neighbors 2.4 will reach you the 5 not so you have it for you

#

Patches won't solve actual connectivity problems

cerulean garden
#

ah

#

I thought it was just a Quest problem

woeful cypress
#

You could just get a 5 GHz access point for your room

#

Nah. Many laptops / wifi users on PC also have that.

cerulean garden
#

darn that sucks then

#

:(

#

I really like VRChat

woeful cypress
#

Get a 5 GHz access point and install it in your room

cerulean garden
#

how would I do that?

woeful cypress
#

You need a lan cable in the room.

cerulean garden
#

ah

#

we're looking to get one of those for my computer

woeful cypress
#

Good

cerulean garden
#

since the wifi doesn't seem to like my computer

woeful cypress
#

You definitely want lan there

#

You can then get a switch

#

That can split one lan to many

#

So you can have the pc and a access point connected to it

cerulean garden
#

what do you need for a access point though

woeful cypress
#

Nearly any router can do it.

#

Most routers can also act as a switch too

cerulean garden
#

so I just buy another router?

woeful cypress
#

Depends on how good you know how to set them up.

cerulean garden
#

I have no experience at all lol

woeful cypress
#

Try looking up a video about access points to get an idea.

cerulean garden
#

so the issue I'm having is a wifi problem? and the only way that it'll get fixed is if I get better wifi?

woeful cypress
#

While improvements are always possible, you like will still get a better experience with a 5 GHz account point in the same room for the quest.

cerulean garden
#

I think I may hold back on that option for now

#

as I don't think I'll get a lan outlet in my room for a while

#

I think it could be a vrchat problem though since this doesn't happen on any of the games I've tried that are online

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

woeful cypress
#

Vrchat uses quite a bit of bandwidth

cerulean garden
#

ah

sharp bay
#

Depends, floors normally aren't an issue, it's walls that hurt.

#

I get 866Mb beaming to a room above here.

do u have any game suggestions i should play?

I've been able to get 10 - 15 minutes of gameplay

jade jay
#

hey peoples, I've been having a problem on vrchat where I'm playing on a world and then out of no where 5 mins or so in I get kicked out and get sent to my home world I play on Oculus Quest

sharp bay
#

Common issue. The official word is that it's your wifi dropping very briefly, but I had it happen all the time on a solid wifi connection. It's basically just buggy. I'd avoid manually showing any avatars if you're doing that at all.

jade jay
#

is this a issue that can be fixed or anything in updates?

#

because it just sucks having convos with people then 5 minutes later I get kicked out and cant find that instance anymore

sharp bay
#

Honestly have no idea, it's been going on for ages.

jade jay
#

darn

glossy wagon
#

why am i in the floor on steam vr mode?

azure mantle
#

Oculus Link or ALVR/VirtualDesktop?

#

with ALVR/VirtualDesktop, you'll need to re-set your view height in SteamVR, right-click the status window and click "Run Room Setup"

glossy wagon
#

ALVR?

#

im using riftcat...

#

think im swiching to ALVR ill come back if i still need help

#

thanks btw @azure mantle never would have known about it tell now

sharp bay
#

Virtual Desktop is easier to use than ALVR, but is paid. Worth considering if you want simplicity going forward (and doesn't require you to be at your PC to initiate the connection either).

glossy wagon
#

im useing a ROG Strix i think my pc can handle it my this is my router btw

sharp bay
#

Router should be ok as long as there are no stone/brick walls between you and it.

glossy wagon
#

nah its like 6 or 3 feet from my pc

pseudo token
#

FYI for ALVR, you can set a static ip address in the router for specific devices so you don't need to always connect again to your quest from pc. If you have a decent router you most likely can do that. You'll still need to start the program at the very least.

azure mantle
woeful cypress
#

Shouldn't they be able to automatically identify the quest by device name on the network cirThink

azure mantle
#

They should tbh

#

or even by MAC address since all Quests would start with the same manufacturer identifier

woeful cypress
#

manufracture might yield who knows what future, but i guess you could ping the limited entries then still

azure mantle
#

Time to go implement that shit into V7 and be the hero nobody needs

#

While am at it, I'll put a touch of Invert Colors on the whole UI.

woeful cypress
#

other alternative might be doing a "broadcast" containing the IP while in connection mode.

#

There is mutiple ways they could do auto discovery.

azure mantle
#

well, auto-discovery of a single, known device, really doesn't need a broadcast

woeful cypress
#

Look, im just saying "there would be many ways to implement it, it's stupid not to be there" cirBaka

#

cirFairy cirMini *

azure mantle
#

ikik, I was just adding on to that

pseudo token
#

Well that is something I'll look forward to to have less setup to do. Now alvr just needs to start in background asap your pc turns on. That's probably possible with if you manually setup it in windows but having that as an setting would be nice for cloud pc users

#

Also TripingPC, the place your screenshots are hosted on always puzzles me. It's pretty neat tho

quiet tusk
#

Im not entirely sure and I'm still a wee bit confused but downloading custom songs onto beat saber requires connecting the quest to a computer right?

#

I know about bmbf but rly I still have no idea what that is

#

And general help pointing me in the right direction would be apreciated

woeful cypress
#

You should look up a beat saber community for that ideally.
This here is targeted to the Quest with VRChat like most of this Discord.

quiet tusk
#

wheat wave
#

Hey, one of my friends is thinking of getting a quest. Is there a way to hook up a quest to your PC so you can avoid the hardware limitations the quest has on VRChat?

#

Like a way to get around "Quest mode" or whatever and use your PC hardware instead of the built in quest hardware?

plain flower
#

@wheat wave thats been an official Oculus feature since october

#

get the rift app on your PC, a usb c cable to your desktop, done

#

ask someone who actually use Oculus Link about it
