altenratives include virtual desktop which, once again, i dont have a quest so i cant say more about it
Thanks so much
np~
Ok
👍
Aren't vrlow and vrhigh graphics settings supposed to enable antialiasing? Talking about the settings you can access by holding shift on keyboard when starting vrchat. Not seeing any difference in vr when compared to desktoplow setting, the settings only enable antialiasing in desktop. The aliasing has always been annoying and supersampling makes no difference, actually looks like it gets a little bit blurrier...
Antialiasing and a few other things that only affect certain maps if the creators use them
I.E. Aggressive LOD and culling in The Great Pug when using DesktopLow.
And supposedly stuff pertaining to mirror resolution. but I don't see it myself...
Ugh if only the supersampling worked properly. I don't get it why we can't choose to enable the antialiasing regardless of map creators' post processing choices. I think I did read on old posts that it is recommended to not touch antialiasing with maps, too.
This group is about the quest version of VRChat.
^
Yeah I guess I could have mentioned I am using ALVR
That's still PC
That's still using--
I could have sworn supersampling used to work at least.
And I am wondering if it's not only me having these problems with pcvr streaming
It's kinda grey area between pc and quest but I decided to post here
@pseudo token Steam's SuperSampling works at a lower level than VRChat and maps have no effect on it.
I just got my quest and i mostly wanted it to play Vrchat since the go needs ALVR to play it
i wish we could see pc players' avatars tho.. that is what makes me kinda sad is that
@azure mantle You don't use the anti-aliasing functionality of map post processing. VRChat's antialiasing is based on your graphics settings in VRChat and then after that, the supersampling your headset is set to.
I know
@trim pecan I mean it should be common sense, it's not powerful hardware.
I wasn't the one asking
Well yeah.
Don't bring me into this. 
"TripingPCToday at 4:09 PM - Antialiasing and a few other things that only affect certain maps if the creators use them" ??
the message right under
LOD has nothing to do with AA.
@pseudo token The VRHigh/VRLow/DesktopLow settings DO all affect VR and they DO change the game's VR anti-aliasing, it's just it depends on whether your headset is good enough to notice. Also supersampling should also make an obvious difference. Not sure why it's not for you.
I never said it did
Did I miss any punctuation?
Im not mentally disabled.
The VRChat graphics options change the game's own antialiasing settings, these are NOT managed by worlds. I referred to UGC being affected by graphics options in the sense of LOD, mipmapping and cull distance.
But you do you. I explained this twice.
I walked into my wall today
Read what you said again. "Antialiasing and a few other things that only affect certain maps if the creators use them" - Creators don't need to "use" them, they're active at all times.
ok
I didnt think I would have to do this
welcome to r/copypasta
The VRChat graphics options change the game's own antialiasing settings, these are NOT managed by worlds. I referred to UGC being affected by graphics options in the sense of LOD, mipmapping and cull distance.
So the first part of the sentence wasn't connected to the second part
No, let me do some more r/copypasta
Did I miss any punctuation?
No, I think you have the problem here. You're literally telling people you didn't mean the thing you said. Not sure if you're aware, but what you wrote, doesn't mean what you think it did.
Being a cocky twat about it doesn't make it any less wrong.
Also being a cocky twat just makes you sound like an asshole, so don't.
I'm aware supersampling is not affected by maps but I am definitely puzzled how there is no difference in antialiasing with the different settings. And more so by the supersampling's behaviour in vrchat. I'll need to do some testing to see if the scrcpy capture is different to the quest's and if supersampling works in other games and steamvr
@pseudo token The difference was obvious on my Vive and Index so when using ALVR or VD it should still be obvious. Not quite sure why it's not having an affect for you.
I see now. The difference is so tiny, I could have sworn it was way more visible in past. Even 1.06 was quite a bit better. 1,5 barely makes difference now (these were done in vrchat) and supersampling above or below never affected a game (Horizon beyond) and steamvr grid home resolution.
I can supersample no mans sky fine too
Possibly, the video compression will smooth the image if you're using the Quest, so that could be why it's harder to notice.
Still, even going to 24% resolution for the game or globally and restarting steamvr made no difference to resolution so no idea what's up with that. I used to supersample steamvr's home in past for better ui, too.
Eh wouldn't be surprised if it's some random problem with having new mobo and cpu
Sounds like it's not actually applying, 20% should make everything blurry as hell.
And of course could be some steamvr issue causing it. Guess I'll have to live with jaggies
Do y’all think we’ll ever get quest exclusive worlds so we can see every avatar for once
Im not sure if quest only instances are planned, i doubt it.
In theory you could make a world that only really allows quest users to play in if you know how the both platforms work.
Quest only instances already are possible and exist
If you only upload a windows build, it’s pc exclusive, if you only upload an android build, it’s quest exclusive, if you upload both, it’s crossplay
quest exclusive avatars can also exist the same way, I’ve made them, but they are kinda pointless, why would you want pc users to see a robot etc
But they did make a placeholder robot with a quest symbol on its chest for specifically that reason
And it gets used
@dry quarry
So if you you honestly want to make a world only quest users can enter, you are free to do so. Pc users won’t even find it in search
I was looking around for a certain Jotaro avatar that can use star platinum, so I found it online, so imma have to run it thro unity using a youtube tutoriel and finally be able to use em. Ahh
So much for just a little jojo avatar lol
Is there any major changes with the graphic settings? (when holding shift before start btw)
Like if I went from vr low to desktop low would it look similar or worst
Just try it
Some graphics snobs can't live without antialiasing
And others just want the god damn frames.
good morning guys
Good morning
yet to sleep
Good night guys
...
So I’m having problems.
I favorited a pc avatar, although I’m on the quest. And I can’t unfavorite it due to not being able to select the avatar.
Is it possible for you to go back on to PC and unfavourite it?
n
Hello my friends
Hello
is it sad that i use quest for oculus link and thats it lol
No, lots of people do that, say you want the Rift S experience, but you need physical IPD
This, holy shit my eyes start hurting with rift s
Is anyone else constantly getting kicked from worlds after being in them for about 5 minutes?
After about 5 minutes or so in most worlds, everything will freeze for about 30 seconds and then I'll be sent to the home world
@short rock it’s a biggggg bug going on.
So a lot of people are getting kicked out?
I suppose it's good to know it's not just my issue but it sucks that such a massive issue is affecting more people
It is. I think vrc is going under maintenance.
oh at least it should be fixed soon then?
I’d say yes. They seem to be super quick on these things.
@warm root lol
stop smelling
I am still waiting for the Oculus link to come out in the UK.
It still says "coming soon" on the official oculus website.
@haughty coyote I just got mine today. It's not particularly special. you can get the same effect by using a usb 3.0/type c cable with an active usb 3.0 exension.
What pc do you guys recommend me for specifically handling oculus link?
sme stuff that can push normal PCVR headsets @abstract nexus
marry a 3600 to a 1660ti with 16gbs of ram and an SSD
@plain flower thank you I will look into it
Does the quest microphone work with Oculus Link?
i dont see why it wouldnt
I've heard it doesn't work. Link is still in beta. I still recommend virtual desktop. More stable and also wireless
Yeah nah, Link causes random lag for no reason in some games and doesn't stream the mic.
@languid geyser not yet just plug your mic on the desktop for now, its what im doing until they fix it
ok cool thanks
Anyone wanna play VRchat with me.
@twilit hemlock yeah, there's a good...4,000 people who will play with you right nkw
theyre already playing the game. in public worlds.
I'm gonna play with people from Discord!
discord gang
ma'am this is the virtual realy chat vr game discodd
I have order a cable for the oculus link for my quest. It's coming on Sunday.
It's my Birthday on Sunday too
lag is less of a problem with link if youre playing on the oculus store version of vrchat
anything steamvr will lag like hell for no good reason, can hardly play boneworks and can't play beat saber at all
Is it possible to allow the Quest to see PC avatars / access PC worlds at the expense of performance? I know they're blocked since the Quest has limited processing power but it'd be nice to see PC avatars for screenshots and stuff
I presume not since I couldn't find the settings anywhere but it's worth an ask I guess
People can upload avatars that have as many polygons as normal PC avatars and while they're blocked by default, you could enable their avatar manually.
The issue is the quest runs on an Android build of vrchat, so even in that case, it can't see a PC quality avatar unless it's uploaded to the Android version as well as the PC version
Ah, that sucks, thanks anyway though
How do you upload to both?
file/build setting/android/switch platform/upload the same blueprint
who wants to play VRchat with me
Anyone know about the desert test world found in the Cafe Leblanc attic?
We really need the avatar poly limit raised to 15k and that rated as Very Poor, because it then lets people who at least don't wanna decimate a decent VRoid avatar to still make something easy.
Then if they want to optimize further, they can.
I manage to have stunning
avatar. You can alway have a really poly body and looking awsome
I'm talking about entry-level consumers and not folks who know how to retopo XD
pretty fast to learn
can anyone help me find an avatar?
Me no helpo
its a dark skinned cow girl. is it anywhere on the internet?
question to vague
it was in one of drumsy's videos
the one about milking a cow
its in the thumbnail
Probably not a quest model
it was
i saw someone wear it in the west pug
but it wasnt cloneable and the person who made it didnt have an avatar world
ok i found an image does anyone know this avatar??
Yeah, that model is not typically a quest model. It's an edited TDA vase with other edited parts attached, and it looks like it uses dynamic bones
TDA model being even close to quest level, nah
They have more textures and materials than friggin edges and polys
Well the model that is impossible to upload if using the same unity package would be one that's called "Goth bitch sweater"
When you try to upload it avatar changing the shaders to vrchat/mobile/(name of shader) and get rid of all the stuff like dynamic bones, audio sources etc. a message will appear that says "This avatar is too large for this platform" and will tell you that the limit an avatar can be is 10mb and the current avatar is 15 something mb
I was trying to optimize with decimation but even if you dedicate it to 70k polygons it still says the message of "this avatar is too large for this platform" and will show the new mb whether its 13 or 12mb when the limit is 10
Thats why you dont use vrcm and you can easilly decimate it and atlas them
Didnt get the model from VRCM because it doesn't exist there and never has
@mellow gust youre trying to optimize around PC assets, not quest assets
check the vrc documentation the triangle limit for quest is uh...ill actually let you find out
dynb and audio is not allow4d on quest avatars
(its actually 10k tris, sorry)
your only hope is retopology
ok so I got a question. will the oculus quest players ever get the "shaders" feature? or will it only be computer players?
i dont think so. a quest is a realitivly small machine. in order to play games. its kind of like its own small computer. if you want to do heavily intensive things on vr (wether it be graphical or workload related) you'll probably need a PC with beefy specs.
i mean there has to be a way they could somehow optimize the shaders to where the oculus quest could run. there has to be at least one way they can
unfortunatly i doubt they could add jt without decreasing the quality of the shaders by a large margin. the way i see. specs wise. it isnt happening anytime soon. at least not with compact headset vr hardware thats only ~500 bucks
they could give it better hardware but then it gets bulky or a LOT more expensive
true but i mean i would still play the game if it had the crappiest looking shaders they could give it. at least we are getting something. am I right?
then you might as well not have them at all xD the quest already runs hot playing realitivly high demand games on steam vr so i dont see it being able to run much else unless your willing to risk your headset for an aesthetic cuz if that overheats its over xD
wait... people other than me have vrchat on quest?
i think a lot of people do xD
I only see about one other per 1 hour session...
I am also quite happy as I became a new user yesterday, so I can finally be someone other than wallace.
@blazing sparrow i have about 26 quest friends on vrchat and about 4-7 pc friends
i mainly see oculus quest people
Okay then, I guess I'm in the wrong worlds ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i have a quest and a rift s lol both seem to have the same number of players for me
i'm mainly in the great pug west. you'll occasionally find me there. i'm on the game like every day so yeah. i'll be live streaming on facebook on vrchat at around 3:45 pm est today. so yeah. imma try and scare people >:)
I am getting a MASSIVE pc upgrade, so I could play on that more and not see default robots.
you do know how to see robots that have the words "perf banned" or "perf blocked" (what ever it is called)
yes
ok good
I mean robots with a picture on them.
oh well i don't come across to many of them
i'm mainly in quest worlds or just in worlds with mainly quest players
oof
shaders would be incredibly difficult to optimize for quest
even my weaktop desktop is at least 20x as powerful as the quest
the main thing is gpu
One thing very underestimated is the RAM/VRAM
I'm getting 1660 Ti
This is the quest channel, so you're not getting that for the Quest 🙂
(Except for link, which isn't Quest in VRChat regard)
ok
Ok
see i said the same xD
yeah but i wanted to see what one of the vrchat team members would say.
and they just answered as a no
but imma get them shaders. i will. oh boy i'm glad that oculus link is a thing
yeah graphics (gpu) in the quest just cant be as good as a pcs without making it bulky or way more expensive xD
m8 all i want is jiggle physics XD
xDDDD
i mean who wouldn't want that?
like come on now
but let me just tell you this. I WILL hook up my oculus quest to my computer so i can see dem jiggle physics on vrchat. that's been my dream and that WILL come true. I promise you that. (well until I become too lazy to link my quest and i end up never doing it)
XD
hey @blazing sparrow if you want another vrchat quest friend then you can add me. my name on vrchat is Bossalirious. (my username has i think 4 numbers at the end of it so be aware of that)
and ok
ok.
I'm assuming the 'numbers' are BB3B
yep that's the one
done
ok awesome. i'll be on later ok. like i said, "3:45pm est" because i'm at school right now so yeah
why are you on discord at school?
because i'm bored
ok so did you know that there is now a vr headset that has EYE TRACKING now? it's called the "Pico Neo 2"
ok, my school bans everything. But I'm on holidays and yes
bro your still on holiday break?
Yes, I'm Australian
... but I'm 13, I need sleep.
i'm 16. i don't need sleep. lol
so i don't remember if i told you what kind of vrchat stream i'm doing but basically i'm going to try and scare some people during the stream. i guess you would call it a scare stream. but yeah
i won't be using my in game mic of course because i need to be silent and scare worthy
should be a good vrchat day for me XD
ok
Should be
I use energizer ultimate lithium batteries xd
Batteries last a long time on Quest controller doesn't use much like other controllers I use
The higher mAh the more charge the battery can store just keep in mind battery may have lower mAh then stated
Does vive trackers work while using oculus link or no?
what are some disadvantages of the quest
because i want to save money buy i wanna know what obstacles will come with getting it
my biggest gripe is that you can't see many peoples avatars or use them as the more demanding ones are pc-only
there's been a community built up on PC and as I quest user I can definitely feel a slight disconnect from myself and people on pc
I've only had it for a bit so other people might be able to tell you more though
I’ve only had it for a bit too and I’d definitely say in terms of VRC the only downside is the lack of avatars and generally the lower resolution but otherwise I’ve found it great for just having fun and chilling and being portable
Usually rechargeable batteries are 1,2v so keep that in mind if you play games like beat saber. It may cause issues. If you don't buy and use a special type of battery, its voltage will go down as it discharges so after a while 1,2v rechargeable will be near 1v and stay near that value until it is empty. Nonchargeables drop faster from max voltage but they should still be higher in voltage in the end. They are more commonly sold in 1,5v than rechargeables.
if i could get ANY other vr headset and stuff what would you recommend
odyssey+ or rift s since they are in a similar price class
what about the new steam vr
index is $1,000
The valve index is very good, but it's $1000 so you need to decide if it's worth it for you and within your budget. You pay a premium to have the best, but it's not 2x as good as the other headsets for what you pay for. If that makes sense
ok yea, i can afford it but idk if it's worth it
Not sure why but everytime I start up vrc on Quest it puts me in the loading screen loop, which I can only get out of if I uninstall and reinstall the game. Anyone know if the game is just bugged right now or if I just have to uninstall and reinstall everytime I close out the game or if it crashes?
I'm seriously considering starting a weekly or bi-weekly Quest meetup
Quest users are really chill to hang with more no Offence to the pc users but yeh
From my experience
Haven't met a toxic quest user yet.
that's probably because the quest users actually had to pay money to be there by buying their Quest so that filters out the low investment players who are just here to shitpost
and from that everyone also has vr
are there any other wireless vr headsets
Any vive with wireless addon, vr-ready pc not included @charred marlin
quest is a desktop kiddo filter
The Oculus link is now out in the UK.
@keen patrol what does that mean
wait nevermind i'm sorry
@plain flower what would you say is the best wireless vr headset
Vive Pro with wireless module
Best functially is probably the Vive pro with wireless... But that doesn't justify the price of it
vive wireless doesn't seem worth the price
just put pulleys on your ceiling if wires are that much of a problem
No, but they asked about "best"
good question
@charred marlin id say that quest is probably the overall best wireless HMD experience. But, the vive pro is probably the best wireless headset for PCVR.
i'm really sorry but what's the difference
i know absolutely nothing about anything
Quest users are chill because they just want to have fun and aren’t there for insane FPS or RTX or whatever
I assure you PCVR users aren't for insane FPS or RTX either :D. You can have more detailed avatars and worlds though and because you don't need to optimize them as much as with Quest content it is easier to make them look good as well
Honestly the difference from Quest to PC in vrc at least is rediculous. On Quest everyone is chill since the coolest thing an avatar can even have is an aura effect. Then on PC it's mostly filled with crashers or avatars that shake the hell out of your screen
Well two things:
- some pc/high end vr users I’ve seen mock quest users and constantly talk about the graphics
- I once had some pc users actually say “how did you survive our nuke” so...
Pretty much. Quest avatars are WAY more limited on what they can have compared to PC. No custom shaders, point lights, cameras, dynamic bones, audio sources, etc.
I know worlds are pretty limited too, as for shaders and video players from what I know. And of course file size can't be too large which is always annoying
Shaders in worlds are mostly limited to the hardware itself and performance.
I'm upload a world to quest with a shader that had grabpass on it, never making that mistake again.
what about other games? like beatsaber?
Beatsaber is pretty awesome on quest.
thank you so much
I kinda just got addicted to Beat saber
Good for you mate!
the darth vader game is good
thank you to everyone who answered my questions and put up with my stupidity
Vader immortal, beat saver and superhot are all also great
Beat saver? Thats a website isnt it?
Pretty sure it is yeah
Beat saber you mean?
the keys are right next to each other
I still can't run my oculus link because my graphic card is a Geforce 1060. I hope they add it as a support.
@haughty coyote What do you mean? It is supported:
Unless it's the laptop version of the 1060 it should indeed work
It didn't work.
Ohh
Are you on it?
Should be in settings, first thing that pops up
yoooo
@haughty coyote leave the charger on with the quest on and put it on top of a desk or somewhere and give it about a hour or 2 to finish
you go into the menu on oculus, settings, see all, then under the version number there's a button to update if an update is available
hey i have a cable to link my quest to my pc, is vr ridge the only way to play the pc client on the quest? i hope not as it's very, not very good
does anyone know if the PC avatars will also be visible on the quest in the future?
Idk. It's up to the uploader.
it is up to the uploader
PC avatars will not be able to run on the quest's limited hardware, but there might low poly recreations or something like that in the future
But that'll propably not be easy to implement.
@everyone does anyone want to play ctf later?
So, you'd literally be willing to pull the hate of over 100k people onto you just to ask that question?
Gladly it doesnt work, you should however feel ashamed now.
🔔 shame

I have a 1060 GEFORCE
Should be able to run oculus link
I am just going to get the Oculus link
desktop version yes.
Yes
laptop 1060 no
I have a pc
The company name is: Desktop.
I am just going to buy the official oculus link it's self
No, Desktop means a normal cased computer with normal standart part usually insalled at a work desk
Is Oculus go worth it?
I already ordered the Rift S and it's coming in a few days but I want to try it so bad lol
Amazon doesn't sell the Rift S but it does sell the Go version
Oculus Go has the same screen as Rift S but no 6 dof tracking so there would be no point in you buying it as well
Company name desktop 
Hi
Anyone have any Star Wars avatars
@cerulean crystal aight buddy that's your second cross post
Please refrain form doing that
How does that count?i was looking for avatars when I couldn’t find them I one channel,i went to people who have the same headset as me to try there,thinking I had better chances
Hi
Hi
Im honestly just looking for someone to play vr with
I can play in a bit @manic harness
Hmmmmm i really just have vr chat
oof
Do u know of any good games that are multiplayer on quest
Ive been lookin to get some
theres arizona sunshine
What games do u have
beat saber arizona sunshine vader immortal episodes 1 2 and 3 vrchat and rec room
I hope they add more multiplayer vr games soon
same
well theres also drunken bar fight but i dont have that
if we play we should try to get more people to play
Added u
give me a few min
Alr
sorry my sister keeps on bugging me to play beat saber so ill get my headset back in like a min
Lmao its fine
someone up to play now?
hi, I'm new to the server (not new to VRC) and I'm about to get an Oculus Quest. What to expect when I play vrchat with it?
Flying robot
Yeah
Hi
is my first time creating a quest avatar i made it for my self and i play on pc but i made it quest avairble because i didnt want quest users to feel left out because they cant see other avatars so how will i make it pc avarible also instead of quest only
make two versions
how do i do that?
Just change build to windows
In build settings choose PC as platform and wait for it to compile. You can copy your project and have different shaders or dynamic bones set as well
ok thx
Someone said they couldn't get the rift S on amazon? weird

@cinder wigeon i guess it's because of the batteries, as far as i know, amazon does not deliver non chargeable batteries.
yo just wondering does the oculus Rift S support all avatars? cos i know quest doesnt
Oculus Quest runs android version of VRChat and for avatar to be seen it is required it is uploaded for Quest which has its limitations. Same story with PC avatars, avatar needs to have PC version uploaded for it to display for PC users. Rift S is a PCVR headset so it will display any avatar that has been uploaded as PC avatar and it will not display avatars that has been uploaded as Quest only @haughty coyote
so i will be able to see all avatars apart from ones made for quest exclusively?
Yes
Ok thanks for you help 😀
Actually Quest is the only headset that can display all avatars both Quest and PC as you can connect it to PC and use as any PCVR headset
@hearty terrace weird becausei got mine with those batteries
So this may have already been asked nor do I know where to find the answer if it was already asked but will the vrchat for the quest get an update for hand tracking?
short answer, no
Long answer?
long answer, hand tracking in its current state is not practical for use in any game. your hands have to be seen by all 4 cameras on the quest and even then, you'll lose tracking frequently from simple things like having your hands occlude one another.
in addition, vrchat has way more important things under its belt to take care of than implementing barely functioning hand tracking (udon, ui overhaul, security, etc)
So then they'll probably have to wait till hand tracking gets better? Since I'm sure those at oculus are still trying to get the tracking better.
even when its out of beta, it still wouldnt make sense to add. the tracking will still be jank compared to just using controllers. it would just be impractical
how would you be expected to move around or access your menu?
Well the future of the quest holds many options for things.
And for thing like that well I'm sure some thing could be made possible
Very unlikely
But I don't want to lose hope 😂😂
i still dont see what kind of advantage having hand tracking in vrchat quest would have besides flexing on pc users
that would the exact and only reason
see, theres my point
Has me thinking that there might be future tech that could help with hand tracking though.
And there's still the fact that the hand tracking option was released way earlier than it should have
Maybe there can be a release of like a ring that will help with tracking. Made to act like the rings on the controller.
They're quite on the verge of making an advancement of tech in itself with hand tracking.
yes
Oh my
wheres @everyone chillin at
hand tracking was probably released so early so that it would generate more media attention and draw more people towards the quest for the holiday season
it's still beta as far as I know so not much is expected in its quality
It feels like this channel os just people asking about hand tracking now
How come some models you can see on the quest, but some avatars you can’t?
Because most models arent made for quest
They are made for pc only
Quest models need to meet some strict reqirements and yploaded seperately
if it's a perf blocked robot you can select the avatar and choose to show it but if it's a robot with a picture of the avatar or a yellow error you can't see the avatar at all on quest
hello im searching for german people to play
when willl the quest version finally support video playback?
that's on Oculus to change how their stuff works not vrchat does its technological reasons why it doesn't support video vrchat
Fuck hand tracking. We have Index controllers
VRChat Quest supports non-synced video players. Meaning you can use a remotely hosted video file for music and stream it in a world, but you cant have synced play pause for everyone. nor have the video pick up where everyone else is for late joiners.
There are numerous reasons why sync video players aren't implemented on Quest, one of them being how painful it would be to get youtube-dl working on the Android build without some crazy shenanigans that aren't worth anyone's time. Especially when Bigscreen is already available if you wanna setup a video party with some friends on Quest.
So I played like 8 months ago on quest and I crashed sometimes but it was bearable but now after I gave my old quest back it was rented and got another one Couse I realy missed vr chat and beatsaber im crashing like ALL THE TIME and not just me DOZENS of people tent to crash way more than in the old days does anybody know WHY that is a thing also that occurring black screen is new to me and a VERRY bad issue
Hello! I would like to ask if anybody by some miracle has the very specific experience of using Oculust Quest Link on a PC with a 980ti, and I would like to know if by some miracle it works normally
I've seen a lot of people on the internet say they tried it and it works and others say it doesn't
So now I am confused as to which one I should buy
(The 980ti isn't officially supported, that's why I'm asking)
which one of what? are you buying a quest or are you buying a gpu?
I am thinking about buying a Quest so my big brother (who doesn't have a very powerful PC) can also casually play with it from time to time without having to sit in my room all day
He told me about the Oculus Link thing, but I saw that it wasn't officially supported, but he sees this as a middle ground stating that he would buy me a good cable that's currently available so I could use it at my PC aswell
If the card you have now isn't on the compatible list i'd not get it without beeing aware that even if it works now, it might be patched dead by moving to more functionallity requiring newer GPU's (which is why they state their list as they do)
Yeah I was thinking that aswell
anyone wanna play something with me im looking for someone to play with
where
i was thinking a game thats not vr chat
im trynna play something like that bar fight game or arizonna sunshine
oof
damn
Is there any way to use a camera in game or do I have to just take a photo from the quest menu?
@cloud shard taking screenshots from the quest dash is the only way for now
Ok thx
Hmm I'm pretty new to vrchat and kinda don't have any guide or help how things work, no friends either
So uhh idk kinda need a hand
with what though?
Its pretty straight forward to be honest
is it normal that youtube playlist wont work in vrchat ?
i can only play normal videos which is kinda annoying to always take off the vr-headset to play the next video / song
This channel is for the Oculus Quest version of VRChat.
Idk I think I just can't find a world that I can say "this is the place I want to be" yk?
Uhm
I need good rechargeable AA batteries for my oculus touch controllers
Anyone familiar with batteries?
energizer recharge max
the 2300mAh ones
they last me a week on CV1 touch controllers (absolutely terrible for WMR tho because 1.2v)
And the charger pack comes with 4 batteries, so you can hotswap and play infinitely
@azure mantle what CV1 and WMR tho?
I got 2600mAh ones
some German brand that I don't know
CV1, original Oculus Rift
ohh
WMR, Windows Mixed Reality
uhh so not Oculus Touch?
the WMR controllers are just fucking terrible with any batteries that have a lower voltage
hmm
because they always think the batteries are half-dead
oh
well I got some 1.2v 2400mAh and 2600mAh
I found some old ones as well and regret that I bought new ones today but let's see
like uhm when I put the batteries in and played like 10 mins or so it showed that they are half dead
maybe cuz they aren't pre-charged?
could that be? Cuz they are lasting long for some reason
with my 1.2v 2300mAh ones, when it says theyre low, they usually die within 30 minutes
See The user has htc vive and he can move her fingers or just Limited movements ?!🤔
@haughty coyote
All the Headsets have preset gestures in game. The Vive and wmr are activate by selecting them with your thumb.
Oclulus headsets with touch controllers require you to do those gestures in real life. Index has full finger tracking beyond that
Okkaayy i got it @haughty coyote
The Nintendo labo is better then the quest
Ofc 

@haughty coyote will there be an update for the quests hand tracking?
@sonic fiber oh yea definitely bro like god I love 720p in front of my face
I have no info on that, I'm not affiliated with the develpment of the game at all. Personally I don't think so, given the limitations of quest hand Tracking compared to the touch controllers for games. But that's just my opinion
I mean there is that VR game which looks like Minecraft which you can sideload from Sidequest works pretty well
it supports hand tracking and yea it does work pretty well ngl
but yea I could agree with your opinion as well
cuz like walking would be a problem
It would be neat, but probably not their main priority right now. They're still yet to release the unity 2018 update and udon
mhm
help
I need somebody
Why
Hey is there a way i can check my hours on oculus quest?
Hey @neat lagoon is there a way i could possibly check how many hours i've spent on vrchat on my oculus quest?

No
Holy, k.bruce is like in every channel
Hey is there ever gonna be a stream camera added into the oculus quest version?
how would a stream camera on the quest work lol? apart from the performance impact where would the camera mirror the image to?
there is not 2nd output for the camera to go to
they mightve meant photo camera
stream to pc thru wifi 
No
No i meant stream camera @worthy dune and i don't know why everyone is so against quest users. Like chill why don't ya
We'll start by seeing if they bring back the photo camera
the 2d view for photos videos and casting is actually based off the same viewport and camera as one of your eyes in VR
so it's a lot less computationally intensive than running another camera in tandem, that pretty much doubles the rendering work
@dusk forge how would a stream camera work?
@bronze glade hmm i mean idk how these things work. I mean how am i able to stream to facebook on my quest? That's the reason i want the streaming camera, because i can use it for facebook live streams. If i'm not able to get it, i can always go to oculus link. It's not that hard @bronze glade
So there are other applications that have in-game cameras that can stream to Facebook on quest 
You know that the stream camera doesnt actually stream right?
Its meant for a custom desktop mirror instead of the first person one. It doesnt do anything else
pretty much only useful in SLOBS and OBS
You mean streaming/external recording in general.

But yeah, you can't use that camera for streaming as is, it's only a replacement of the desktop renderer on the PC Version 
If you want to stream from the quest you need to do a bit of research. You'll likely need to dig into third party software / sideloading for that.
can the quest even handle streaming without a capture card?
what does a capture card have to do with it?
A capture card doesn't save you performance. (At least these days)
Unless you use it to get the video to a different PC and encode there, or it has a hardware encoder which you use (but wont really be a great result at low framerate usually)
Ok so i just want my viewers to get a different view of me while I'm playing vrchat. Now by what i have been told is that the stream camera is supposed to make it so the viewers on your live stream can see in a different perspective than you, correct? Like i can make it so they can see behind me or to the side of me or in a 3rd person view of me. I know what the streaming camera does. Why wouldn't you be able to add something so simple to this game? All you really would need to do is stay away from mirrors because that would of course cause lag.
But other than that it would just act as a mirror that you can basically carry around
According to someone else (idk how true this is) you can pay for a streaming account or something
Huh
I’ll grab the video they sent (haven’t watched it yet though but apparently it’s got info)
This week we're chatting about a new system that allows Oculus Quest users to stream high-end SteamVR games to their standalone headset without the need of a beefy gaming PC!
Virtual Desktop: https://www.vrdesktop.net/
Shadow: https://shadow.tech/usen
SideQuest: https://gi...
@cloud shard what if some of us are poor and we can't afford virtual desktop?
Hello Quest users
hi
Whatcha guys up too
Dude like I said I haven’t even watched it yet, so I was just going off of someone told me to watch it because it told you how to stream on something other than Facebook
oh just wondering why the game developers can't add the simple to make streaming camera to the oculus quest version of vrchat. the streaming camera is literally a mirror that you carry around and that allows your viewers to watch your live stream from a different angle/perspective
Wait virtual desktop as in this?
yes
for playing vr games, ALVR should be the better choice, no?
is it free
ALVR is.
do i need virtual desktop?
like do i need a beefy computer to use ALVR? @woeful cypress
Ofc
I use oculus link
i bought it because my computer is at my dads and i live with my mom and i only visit my dad every other weekend
Some might argue with me
Ah i bought it because I wanna see how it looks on pc
To see any difference from rift s and quest
And I suggest the quest more since you can take it anywhere also so ye

I need egg in my life
VD is good if you know what you're getting into
a.k.a if you can endure latency, and don't expect to use it for timing-sensitive games
and i still have all of the requests from the accounts
I played osu on virtual desktop... what an experience
@dusk forge so the way the stream camera works is that it shows its perspective on your monitor (the vr mirror) and than streamers add this to their scene. The quest doesnt have this mirror as everything is run internally. You have nothing to stream the camera to so its not doable
@keen patrol I am not familiar with how this works but if you can run steam trough vrdesktop than try playing MC.Osu as it has a VR mode and its pretty cool
oh I'll look that up then
@bronze glade thank you for explaining that. I didn't know that the stream camera got mirrored to the pc.
yeah it replaces the normal pc mirror which is just your first person view
also the vrc camera is pretty performance heavy so it might not be doable on the quest
than again I wasnt even away that you can stream with a quest standalone
Greetings.
Greetings
Hello uncle Ps3.
Haha
What's oculus quest?
Yes
I see, you'r a men of culture
I can’t launch vrchat on the quest. Loading stuck at 0.00%
F in the chat for this legend ^
so how is that going for you iVRy
Hey, I wanted to ask..how well does VRChat work for you guys on the Quest? I'm thinking about buying one but wanted to ask a few things about it first..
Just a warning... make sure people you get a opinion from are actually using the quest/have had propper impressions and aren't just quest hating cus there's a few of them here.
While im not owning a quest my self, i know a few people on quest that enjoy it, ofc it limits you to quest compatible content and if you come from a PC based friendlist allready, it might be a bit meh to find out that not that many care about quest content usually.
If you start out fresh on a quest and build your friendlist and standarts from the ground up on it, then while ofc visually less appealing, the gameplay and fun wise still really nice experience from the quest regulars that i know.
Ok thanks, I was just wondering how well it works in terms of graphics and possible lag in VRChat?
graphics is a complicated topic and highly dependant on the people making the content.
the lag part sadly i dont have any experiences for.
I know that lobbies are limited to less people.
hello guys, i heard that as long as the uploaded world/avatar has a Quest version, the quest user will be able to see them?
yes, with avatars, you may need to fiddle with safety settings, or manually enable the avatar for the user wearing it depending on it's performance rating.
got it, ty!
There's also the fact that a lot of skins you can't see
Here's a weird question for anyone who's tried it
I don't have a quest here at the moment but have you ever pluged in a usb c hub and keyboard and mouse
does desktop like movement work there? How about a xinput/directinput gamepad?
I'm disappointed in myself I didn't try this yet.
Why would you want that though?
Very important person who has a disability and struggles to use the controllers fully, and also when controllers break and need to be rma
I see 
dunno about kbm, but Im 99% sure a paired xbox controller or a wired one will work
Perks of being quest part 1,
cant see cuddlers 😎
LOL
whats wrong with cuddles 
Could anybody fathom a guess as to what percentage of the total number of worlds are Quest compatible?
Anyone keep crashing and getting black screen on vrchat bc I have been a lot
And so have my friends
@blissful quail the percentage of all worlds vs the percentage of worlds based on a threshold of how often they're visited would be wildly different, also, I don't think even the VRChat devs themselves have that kind of info.
I say about 12 worlds so far i could be wrong @blissful quail
@versed dirge sorry to say but you failed horribly
Much more than just 12
@haughty coyote and also yea, I'm experiencing that as well but lately not that much than usually
I don't have an exact number but probably much lower than PC as the quest you can't afford to not optimized so that's going to cut off a lot of people from making stuff and the constraints on it would cut off a decent chunk of maps from even being attempted
I figured as much
as I can't imagine there's a whole lot of folks good at making stuff that looks good for mobile Hardware
I wish the quest could at least handle pc models
yeah but that's not likely to happen as it's pretty much an Android phone built into a headset
Its less about performance and more about compatibility
You cant just run avatars built for a different hardware architecture
Its like if you wanted an xbox to play ps games. Its not that easy
yeah mine was more of a explanation of the content limits
I mean yeah if they have an issolated area you might as well endorce some limits so the players have a better experience
yup
I can't log into vrchat
wow
3:
"quest-general" 
Obviously promotion for the quest. See all those bumpy parts that pick up all the food. The quest is smooth. Easy to clean... 

hate it when i accidentally drop my HTC Vive into my bowl of baby puke
hate when that happens

Lmao wtf
F
@bronze badger what food is that
I’ve been wondering if you get the oculus link and the quest will you be able to see pc avatars?
Yes, since it would be running the desktop version of the game. This requires a VR capable PC the same as running a rift
would the quest need to be plugged in all the time for that? @haughty coyote
Yes. The link cable is basically just letting the quest run the desktop client and act as a Rift. It turns the quest into a tethered desktop VR headset
ok
it is a chicken soup it's delicious but I don't like a VR headset flavor all rightXDDDD
@spice sinew
I guess I learned to not play Murder with food on the table
What a nice looking quest
quest!!! it is a htc XD
Then why tf are you in the quest general
4head
You wrecked yourself before you checked yourself buddy
I do not know I did not know where to post it :b
Thats a terrible excuse
XD
Random chat maybe? @bronze badger
Use discord picture links
does that work 4 on some servers you can send links
That doesnt mean you just go to other channels and missuse them
Consider this a warning @bronze badger

(And look up a image host to uploade images to
)
Random chat allows for picture links and this isnt at all related to vrc or quest so that was the channel to go to. I personally use an empty discord group to host my images
Any allow for links, random embeds them (tho embedding isn't needed to show things)
ameno
hewo ^^
how do i fix the lag when i enter the Pug world ?
dont enter the pug tbh block very poor avatars and pray
then where is everyone ?
...theres so many quest worlds that arent the pug that im pretty sure are more popular
like room of the rain, black cat, japan shrine, etc.
well im using rift S
this is for the oculus quest specifically. yes the distinction is important
ah
the pug is not the only world in vrchat and definitely not the only one with cool people. definitely not as popular as it used to be
what 0u0
ok
i misunderstood that
set it to whatever but like you only need to chaange that if your pc is g3nerally bad at running vr games in general
cant u change refresh rate
noooo fucking idea
vrc perf settings matter a lot more in vrc than render resolution anyway
where can i find vrc performance settings
in the game, under "safety"
advanced tab is very important, maybe moreso than the main one
ok thx
also you can cut renderr time to a quarter by holding shift after hitting play to open the game and setting the quality to desktoplow
yeah
is dat normal ?
What do i set them foir
test it out
would my laptop be compatible for the link?
I looked at the minimum specifications and I think it should but I can't be too sure
tell us the specs
"gaming laptop"
my graphics card is the Nvidia GTX 1050
1050 non ti?
the 1050 is not on the link compatibility list at least
i also dont think that the laptop would perform well with link
I saw that, but I also saw that someone was able to use it with the link
third party apps might work if link doesnt on it's own
the thing is, while it might work now, it's possible future versions wont support it anymore as they use features not available on these cards.
Alright, that should be good enough for me then. I'm planning on adding a 16 GB stick of RAM to increase the performance in the near future
IN general tho, i heard link does require a kinda beefy system, if not a bit more then a native PC VR headset so i dont think it will run well.
if it will run at all.
I already got a desktop with the GTX 1060 that runs VRChat with the link, so I just need to beef this up.
Oh yeah, I just mean adding another stick of RAM and all that
I only have like 8 GB
that doesn't really make any of the other thing's better tho
allthough 16gb's definitely gonna be better then the 8 that are in there now
my advice would be to sell it and build a microATX build
that'd be sick
though microatx parts are expensive 
you're trying to go for portablility right?
that's a dumb recommendation...
they not only said they allready have a desktop
but it's also completely different from a laptop
¯_(ツ)_/¯
No 
unless you wanna glue a big battery, a power inverter, a monitor, a keayboard and a trackpad to it
and then put it under a hydraulic press

no no here's what ya do
if it's dedicated to vr
just set it up using keyboard + mouse + monitor from current desktop
make an exterior button on the case that starts steamVR
bruh momento
boom
steam vr for link 
oh it's for the link
LOL nvm
i just got this laptop so I don't think I should sell it yet lmao
no don't sell it lmao
sadly i dont think it'll be much useable for VR tho.
Make some burgers while playing VRChat
But generally as a mobile gaming systen, it's allright
isn't there such thing as an exterior GPU?
I'm a believer
like one you could plug into a laptop?
I don't think so?
Yes
i thought i watched a linus video on that a couple years ago
but that has very specific requirement's and also isn't ideal
not to mention
once again
not portable
unless you again carry a big 12v lead battery and power inverter to run power to the GPU enclosure and such
(which as a whole also isnt really portable
)
at the very least I can run VRChat without VR really well
yea!
I mainly use this laptop for testing avatars as soon as i upload them too, so it's still useful for me lol
are you looking to buy a link? or do you have one?
I did, it just didn't do anything even though it said the Quest was connected
The community of VR chat is so nice
It is as long as you stay away from the circles with drama
me on the quest
@civic lagoon apart from the laptop needing thunderbolt you also have to think about heat
even if it can run vrc with an external gpu the cpu will still produce a lot of heat and eventually thermal throttle because its a lap top
(not to mention that it by default is allready clocking rather low compared to desktop variants)
^^
try ALVR instead @mint steeple
the requirements are lower
i managed to """run""" it on integrated graphics (just to see if I could)
That might work imo
anyone interested in a quest meetup
how is this related to anything
👆 What he said! @flint light
Gfidoc
- that doesnt mention anyone
- when someone attempts to atEveryone and fails, you just say "haha nice try!" and move on.

- how do you leave this group?
Hello
Sucks that quest users cant get the karaoke experience
That I bet will end up with us getting kicked
still, totally worth it 😛
is quest even worth it?
Depends. It's a very good headset and a great experience for games optimized for it, but VRChat is lacking a bit. Still some love it, and some don't really want to deal with the limitations
words as someone who uses a cv1 and has only ever used a cv1 long term, i tried a quest last Saturday
comfiest headset i have used, i feel like i can wear it for hours and lay down with it
the screen is really fucking bright
didnt notice artifacts
distant objects are overall clearer
screendoor is only apparent when holding completely still and closely focusing. it has been diminished much
i cant comment more on screen sharpness since AA was not enabled in one of the games i played (i could make out individual pixels) and i couldnt tell if AA was on in quest beatsaber. But id say judging from how well i could see distant objects, the sharpness is at least 50% better than the rift cv1.
my only complaints is that except in beat saber it can be noticably 72hz and the built-in audio is, as expected, dogshit
play until right before you feel sick
get off, wait until youre feeling well again
play more
eventually you'll grow vr legs that way
and then you can dab on your old self and people who cant play boneworks
Aye
It can’t handle pc avatars 💀
^^
Hello my fellow questrions
count sheep
Sorry if this sounds stupid or is in the wrong place, but does anyone know if virtual desktop/ALVR will run on a potato-ish laptop? My laptop runs games really well but it’s definitely not VR ready, and I can’t seem to find out if I have to have a high end gaming pc just to play PC ver. on the Quest
Hey does anyone know where I could find a snake (mgs) avatar?
@formal vector VD will run on a shit laptop but not well at all
depends on the specs
@formal vector vrchat needs to have above recomended specs for a good experience just because of the unoptimized user content
I hate how some people dont move when you load in
I hate when you try loading into a world and it glitches so you have to sit there while your quest tries to load a 5 mb world
I just hate glitching and black screening
Why does vrchat for quest always fucking crash
pop quiz!
which of these user is using vrc's built-in safety settings and not unhiding every single goddamn avatar including very poor ones?
is it
A. bryanwastaken01 or
B. Aixa_Breezerider
vote now on your phones!
I use the safety setting to a extent
like I don't wanna hear the voice of a vistor
😎
That rude
Hi
Hi
hi. Got this problem with my mic. Its working on discord, people can hear me. On Vrchat hovewer people can't hear me.Using desktop/non-vr mode btw
When you're using desktop/non vr mode you're definitely not in the right channel 
right channel ? i'm sure i don't follow you in this one, pardon me. So there's no way fixing it or what ?
im new in this so some advice or help here would be appreciated
This here is the general chatting channel in relation to the Oculus Quest, which is why it's named "quest-general"
That's also what's written in the channel description 
im thinking about buying an oculus, how much are they typically for a used one?
since the quest is still relatively new and in high demand, you'll rarely see a used unit go for less than 350-375 USD
Unless it has visible damage
Hello
Anyone wanna play murder 2?
on a friends vr chat profile or a ramdom user how do add small sentences to your profile or like the name of your discord with the # number
you can't add notes to users
what about to your own profile how do you do that
go to https://vrchat.com/home
click your profile on the left after logging in
then you can edit your bio and links
the bio is separate from the ingame status
Will there ever be a way for quest users to at least see pc avatars?
yeah, just look on the avatar's chest
(in all seriousness, some way for PC avatars to be displayed with more fidelity than a thumbnail is in the plans for Quest)
It was mentioned in a developer stream a few months back, but I'll point out we've been waiting for the Unity 2018 update since October last year
Heya
Can anyone program I C#?
I’m loading in to worlds and some people are only showing up as a bit with a picture on them, not perf blocked but an actual picture, why’s this?
@azure mantle thanks
Hiii
hello
@trim copper their avatar doesnt support the oculus quest
people should know this shit before playing on a Quest
Like, just force feed them the info on load screens possibly.
Unless you buy a oculus link. What it will do is turn into a oculus Rift S.
You also going to need a gaming pc and the right spec to run it.
I am currently getting a new Motherboard and a CPU because they are really old
Hi
Hello
I do not know sorry.
Hey. My friend who owns a quest can’t get into their account in VRC, they would log in but it wouldn’t load. The only account that would work is an account that they barely use and barely has any friends on the list. Is this happening to anyone else?
Alright
Hey. Now that Unity finally added Vulkan support for Oculus standalone headsets, including Go andd Quest. Do you think VRChat will make the switch to Vulkan for their Quest version in the future?
Hello! I just got my Oculus Quest last night and was trying to use my anker cable to make it work as a link but as a result, it keeps telling me I have to update my headset after I updated the PC ver. but when I checked the headset it showed no signs of being able to update any further. I tried googling around to look for a solution but nothing has worked.
@golden anvil make sure you're not on the beta
thanks 😄
ÒwÓ
Is there role play
is it beautiful
What is that

I have no idea what y’all are talking about, I’m just a lonely quest user with no computer
Hi anyone with quest and wanna be multiplayer VR friends with me?
Does anyone know a glitch trap avatar from fnaf help wanted that is a quest version?
\
does anyone know a way to get a voice changer on the quest?
dang it
Fellow questers,I am recruiting for the grand army of the republic
Hey anyone wanna play vrc quest
no
Can I be woody as my avatar on quest
I still haven't gotten my question answered. Do you guys think VRChat will make the jump to Vulkan for their Quest version in the future now that Unity added support for Vulkan on Quest?
Can't really answer that... We just don't know what the dev team has planned 
I really hope they do. Vulkan is really useful for mobile VR developers because it can help reduce CPU & GPU overhead and allows developers to build more detailed scenes, use larger draw distances, use leftover CPU power for physics, or just increase battery life for existing fidelity content. It will also allow for significantly faster load times thanks to pre-compiled shaders.
Oh, nice ^^
I really don't know much about game develpment, so I didn't know what difference it makes
