k. you do what you feel is safe.
I have my dms off, so try again
Anyone wanna play?
Hello Everyone! I just bought a oculus quest now, returned my rift s because my ipd is 72, so it didnt feel right. When I heard you can put something called sidequest and Virtual desktop on the quest I got excited because Id love to play the VRchat PC version wireless, but I am not very technical and i have no idea where to begin.. Is there anyone here who could help me set up my quest so i can use the pc version of VRchat?
It’s generally better to just play by connecting the charge cable to your pc. But if you don’t want to do that yes a side loaded version of virtual desktop can let you play oculus home and steam games wirelessly, at the cost of a small bit of latency and good bit of video compression
How to do it isn’t exactly a VRChat question, but there is an official support discord for virtual desktop

Hey guys, looking for this avi on VR, or the room name with the avi in it
Thanks for the answer, I had another question. I played VRchat on the quest and my friend told me he can hear himself through my microphone? has anyone had this issue before and is there a way to fix it?
can yall tuch the floor in quest i cant
VRChat floor won’t line up unless you use an avatar with the same ratios as your real body
Why the hell did they separate pc and quest
Because the quest is a mobile platform that absolutely needs a separate lower model for each asset
If it attempted to render a pc scene it would instantly crash
hey if someone could import some models to quest for me I would really appreciate it!! I don’t have a usable computer at the moment and would like to have some avatars back, They are FBX files and all I need is for them to be imported
DM them to me and I will assess how easy it might be and consider it.
Alright
man porting my avatar from pc to quest made it look like fired clay
ik it’s not the best lmao, I’ll have a computer to play PC vrchat in july, I feel bad for quest users
ik why they have to lower the quality by all means but still
i only use quest in "quest" mode when i have no internet like now XD
other then that i use my quest headset like any other VR
thu steam
Same here, I hate how steam runs most games better than oculus, even though i’m using an oculus headset
right
Ugh this quest shit is tiring, I need particles!
But Quest allows particles?
^^
Yeah some creators have already fixed their particles
surprised they even support particles, wouldnt be surprised if people have already abused that
Current issues on Quest right now:
-
Most avatars with particles are broken and no, we're not all going to be fixing our particles just because VRChat decided to release some unneeded update on Quest. I was used to it, but now I'm simply tired of it. Everytime there's a new update, I gotta fix my avatars on Quest and it's really annoying. There's ALWAYS an issue. It's been like that since VRChat switched to Unity 2018.
-
Literally exploring your menu to find a world or select an avatar makes your game run at like 10 fps. It's been like this for weeks now.
Oh wait what, Quest avatars have issues?
Uhhhhh
Didn't know that, that's kinda bad. I have no Quest to test my stuff so if the Quest versions of my avatars somehow break that'd be pretty bad
They don't have any particles or other fancy gimmicks though
It should be good then
Don't worry about it
Make sure by asking a Quest player tho
You never know
Alright
Because I'm bad at decimating, some of my avatars don't even have blendshapes so it's just the model itself with the hand animations and that's it
Don't have particles, animated material swaps, props of any sort ect
I should probably get myself a Quest at one point tbh
So, how come avatar sounds was removed??? And will it be added back?
it was a unintentional bug, it wasnt supposed to be a feature, it likely wont be added back
the quest isnt nearly as powerful as pc, and it caused problems which was why it was removed. vrchat needed to cut back on what is allowed anyway to make the quest version run better
@kindred sorrel what about black squares in your face every now and then?
@kindred sorrel yeah they really break your whole system once you get them you have to restart the console most of the time
Actually no
You don't have to completely restart your headset
Just press the power off button twice and it should be gone
I’ll try that next time
I can't unfavorite avatars, ive restarted quest and vr chat multiple times
What can I do??
Its only the first two avatars it won't let me select at all
There used to be a bug where on quest you can’t unfavorite an avatar if it doesn’t have quest support. Not sure if that’s still around. Is it giving you a message when you try to select it?
Sometimes there's also a bug where your entire Avatar list is empty.
just having 1 audio source isnt the problem, but when you have up to like 25+ voices, peoples avatars, the world audio, and anything else that might make sound, aswell as the fact that the quest has to deal with everything else, it can add up, its just one of those sacrifices that are necessary to make the quest version work
😦
its like transparency, its not like the quest cant render it, its just that if they supported it people would overdo it and make the quest run like garbage
that isnt a bad point, im sure there is probably some super technical reason why it isnt a thing, but at the end of the day its up to the devs to decide how much they will put on the quest and this is just one of the things that had to go
patch it themselves?
not the best example but i think i see what you are trying to say, although in that case it wasnt because it wasnt possible, its more likely that theres only so many songs that beatsaber can add, and the community wanted to take it upon themselves to add them.
theres the canny where you can post bug reports and request features
however i do wish you good luck, their priorities for features are usually the most important ones, which i understand but stuff like more favorited avatars and searching avatars are requested often yet here we are.
guess who just got a quest
you?
Hey guys
This might be a dumb question but does anyone know when particles a gonna be fixed?
Whats the difference between the Oculus quest 64gb and 128gb
Oculus Quest 128gb has twice as much storage space as Oculus Quest 64gb
Yeah okay that question was poorly made haha. Whats the main difference between using them? Is double the storage space worth the 100€ it costs more? Does it improve graphics or quality or..?
There’s absolutely no change to graphics in anyway. it’s just twice as much hard drive space. Meaning you can have more games downloaded at once without deleting some and re-downloading later. It’s only worth it if you plan on downloading a lot of games at once or you want to store lots movies on it.
64 GB is a lot of space, and you can always re-download game purchases. I have a 128 myself and am no where near filling half of my space
yeah i only got the 128 one because it happened to be the one in stock at best buy, even with tons of sidequest games and a couple of store games and a music library im nowhere near full
thank you!
probably just wait until tomorrow tbh
love it when i reply to someone from days ago because i'm not scrolled down -.-
is hand tracking in vrchat a thing?
not yet
I'd love this
Wait for a popular PcVR headset to support it. As long as it’s quest only it won’t get adopted
@undone flare not yet what do you mean?
its not a feature currently, it might become one someday, but i dont know
an update and a patch and no fixed particles
look sexy
very sexy
I'd like to find other adults to hang out at pretty bars with
Howdee
😔 it's the only place where introverts can try to be extroverts
Is there any way you can use PC VR Chat with the Oculus Link?
Yes
Oh really? Through Steam VR?
You can do it through the oculus software
if you use oculus link doesnt it recognize you as a rift user
but you can still see everyone
so if you use oculus link you can see pc avatars like you would on desktop or normal pcvr
Oh well yeah, I've used the Quest version of VR Chat, I was just curious if there was a way to use the PC version
You need a usb a to c or c to c cable
Aaah gotcha yeah
You can use the quest's charging cable
if you don't have a usb c port on your computer, then you'll need a usb a to c cable.
You also need a compatible gpu.
Compatible gpus here: https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/
And here's the setup: https://support.oculus.com/525406631321134/#setup
Awesome, thanks!
If your Pc has a USB-C port, you can just connect it with the charge cable. Works fine
Alrighty, thanks for the help
I've been having this repetitive loading glitch and I have no idea how to fix it. It's been making it to where I can't load up specific worlds.
It freezes in the middle of loading, eventually sending me home. I'll try to load up the world one more time, and once it reaches 100%, it goes back down to 0% once more. After loading a second time, my screen just goes black and I get sent home.
Idk whats causing it since the "You were sent home because your system ran out of memory." message doesn't pop up.
I have a town of salem game I'm hosting tomorrow and I've been struggling to even load the world up.
I've even tried restarting vrc multiple times and the glitch still happens. Is there something I can do? Will clearing my cache help?
hey how well can furry tails / wings be done on the quest?
no dynamic bones, right? could they be animated instead of dynamic?
Yes
Yeah. Works on quest just fine
You need to do it with the default animator instead of adding a second one though, which is a little different than most people are used to animating non-humanoid bones
Otherwise you end up poor rated
Grab the idle animation in the skd. Duplicate it and add a tail animation
And put that one in the animation overwrite
yeah i found a tutorial on animation overrides. thanks guys
hello guys
Hello!
Oh
xD
It’s the cops
that intelligent formation tho
they found out about the basement! run!
This is the Quest channel, not much happening here
Most is happening in #vrchat-general-2 #vrchat-general-1 and #general-media
Yo, am I able to play VRChat on Steam if I have the Oculus link? Or can I only use my Quest headset.
I have a lot of saved worlds and stuff there, so I wasn't sure what I could do
yes you can play SteamVR on oculus link
You CAN play Quest on Steam, you can also play it on your PC using Oculus Home. After trying both the framerate is a bit better on Home. But in both cases you get to see everything.
If you have a 5 GHz wifi you can stream wirelessly from your pc to the quest. Or use a cable. @spare whale
Is there a way to make vrchat run smoother on the quest
Everyone always appears as robots with the message “perf blocked” on them. I have all safety settings (except for shaders of course) turned off, and it still does this. Is there anything I’m able to do to make it not do this?
Wait, why are you blocking shaders?
Oh right, quest thing, forgot
Yeah, for the performance blocked users you can manually unblock them
Ah
It's that way so that your quest won't implode into itself trying to render all the not so optimised avatars
hello
when i open up my oculus quest
and click on oculus link beta
like it turns black for so long and idk what the problem is bc my cable is fine
it says it in the oculus app
i restarted my computer
and restarted the app and unistalled it
@broken trout can u help you seem to know stuff
no
steamvr black vrchat black
only the starting screen like with the chair and the carpet yknow
@broken trout dm?
nope
Have you contacted Oculus support?
no but they take too long
Hmm
Maybe get into contact with Valve support, see if it's potentially on Steam's end
If it's not you're going to have to contact Oculus
but can i ask someone in chat here bc people are smart and there on all day thats why
bc it just happend today
oculus app
@shell gorge Even with safety off, quest will still auto-block any avatar that went over the quest limits and is rated worse than poor. There is no way to auto-show these avatars, since they could potentially crash you immediately with millions of polygons. If you want to risk it, each person must manually be selected and unhid, do this at your own risk, avatars with this rating will seriously lag the quest if not just kick you back to the home menu. There is no limit to how bad they can be, many are PC complexity avatars just built on android.
Hello everyone! I played VRchat on the quest using Oculus Link but everyone tells me they can hear themselves through my microphone? has anyone had this issue before and is there a way to fix it?
Yes I have the same problem with my audio echoing back to others. The solution right now is to plug in some earbuds or headphones to the quest, I believe is a bug as vrchat is setting up the gain as if it’s a rift S. Big screen had the same issue and they patched it
Yes it has standard headphone jack holes on both sides. @gray zephyr
Ok
The Vr has been frozen for like an hour what do I do
Thanks
Do you guys think the rule of having to be 13 to get into Vrc should be better enforced
I can’t go into a public world and have fun because of so many kids as Brushes shouting
Can't really do much about it since the kids have their parents buy the quests
^ actually no, there are Def more ways it could be reinforced, but it would be a pretty large task since there are so many kids already
If its such an annoyance block em plain and simple
Hello everyone! I recently got myself a Quest! Any tips on entering The Black Cat without my headset crashing?
@haughty coyote block visitor PC users
Please tell meh how can i quit a server ;-;
oh boy, i just got my new oculus quest, i cant wait to see everyone's wacky and fun avatars, even if they have different systems
hey so... vrchat supports oculus quest hand tracking now.
You serious?
Like does it just work if you start using hand tracking from the get go or do u have to set it up somehow?
i didn't do anything.
i was sitting here with my quest connected via virtual desktop (i'll explain why it's not virtual desktop)
i was messing with voicemeeter (which i can't make work how i want) and i noticed my avatar's hands were moving in the game
(my headset was on my forehead)
my controllers were in my lap
Huh intresting
so i reached for them, and my hands moved
so i put my hands up.. and discovered it was actually tracking them, it even shows the oculus buttons when i go palm-up
like in the oculus hand tracking demo
you know, how it's like "make the ok symbol to show your menu"
But how would it work by doing things like bringing up the menu in Vrchat?
https://youtu.be/8YxU9T5vEBI <- taken with my phone, so it's not the best
i couldn't get that to happen
though hitting escape on my keyboard opens the menu
or not.
Oh snap that's pretty sick
i can't move (no joysticks) but i can move my hands and do gestures
nevermind, it's not vrchat natively. it's virtual desktop that's using quest hand tracking, then feeding it to vrchat as input
Does anyone know why the Lonely Pug and Void Club isn’t on Quest?
only worlds that have been uploaded with a quest version is visible to quest users
anyone know how to fix infinite login screen on vrchat for quest?
Is there a rule that i can’t ask people if they want to play vrchat with?
no
Ok good to know
Same problem
servers are down rn
Oh shoot.
No wonder.
I was wondering why I couldn't get in and uninstalled the app.. WAIT! If I logged back in my account, are my avatars saved too? The favorites?
anyone know how to fix infinite login screen on vrchat for quest?
@haughty coyote I'm getting this too. it's just black forever or just the default green background forever and it never loads
servers are down
How long will it take for it to get back up? Hmm.
ohh yea for me it has been a few days of just replaying the login @formal pier
sorry to bother, but does anyone else have the issue where the only site on their quest browser that works is the oculus site? The rest dont connect. I want to try to use instagram on my oculus browser since im bored cuz vrchat still doesnt work for me
@haughty coyote you cant login or it doesnt load
Can you play bro chat on a quest/rift without a pc?
it doesnt let me login @formal pier
and @haughty coyote you do not need a computer to play on quest. But for the rift you do.
finally fixed my quest
anyone down to hang out in vrchat today/tonight? kinda lost all my friends on therr
there
how do you fix particles on avatars for quest?
Guys whenever i play games on the quest a red dot always appears on the top right corner
How do i fix this?
Stop recording or even worse you live
The guy stream the game on Facebook and grandma see the anime babe
Does anybody want to play some vrchat with me
vr chat anyone?
is vrchat ever going to make the quest players see the players
or let us go in the all the same worlds
see there avatars sorry
That’s up the the uploader
And the quest uses android so it both needs to be uoaded for quest, and run well on it
Kinda sucks there's no "recently played with" thing I was playing with this person and I was like "I'll friend them later" but then her quest died and I can't find her
If you find someone cool or interesting that you like talking to you should always friend request them or pay close attention to their name to ensure you remember it later but sending a friend request is just easier.
I know I know
I guess I was waiting for the "right time"?
Honestly was kinda stupid
I mean the worst thing that's probably gonna happen with that is they don't accept the friend request tbh.
Yeah
I think I was waiting cause I was scared they wouldn't accept so I was trying to wait for a good time when I'd think they would accept
But
It's a surprisingly small world
Might bump into them again
Vrchat is so boring on quest
I've just deleted it.
It's not even fun at this point
Just full of lag, and robots
We need quest only worlds
if anyone knows how to link the oculus quest to pc without a oculus quest but a usb can you help me
been playing vrchat on the rift s and its fun to connect with people when it works but I'm often faced with glitches that lead me into the floor. Very frustrating. If anyone has some insight that would be much appreciated 🙂
tried both steamvr and oculus, they both glitch the f out .
You're not playing in the dark are you?
i was told you can connect an oculus quest to pc so you wouldnt have to limit performance or something like that and to see all the avatars and im just wondeering how you do that? also i have sidequest if i need to use that for anything
@tight folio pretty sure you just need the link
@haughty coyote no, i'm playing in a fairly well lit room
@burnt pivot how do you do that? do i need a usb c to usb c, or can i use a usb c to usb a
You can use either. You can even use the stock charging cable that comes with the quest as a link cable now
holy sh that's pretty cool the cable it came with will allow you to play pcvr
Yeah. They got it optimized enough that they could run it on a USB 2.0 rather than requiring a high quality 3.0 cable
that's pretty nuts being as it came with the original headset
the rift s needsa 3.0+ to operate
Mhmm. The only problem is it's not as long as most VR headset cables
The rift S is running directly from your GPU, and using the full video quality.
The quest is running on it's own, and is remotely having the computer render and then send a compressed video stream over the cable. So it doesn't need as much bandwidth
as I've been told some titles require more vram and power usage than your gpu and cpu are usually used to
Imagine not using USB3.0 as a default on products in 2020
i have a few 2.0 on my current setup
but that's good it's optimized for 2.0 😄
Yeah that's fair, my mobo has only 2 USB3 slots for some reason
But my case has 3.0 slots so it's evened out I guess?
mine has a total of 3 and it was made about 7 years ago.
back to my original question though, is there any way to optimize VRchat for the oculus rift s that I might be missing?
It seems to be crashing more than a typical game
Anyone have a vibecheck avatar

what do you think?
I want a vibe check avatar but it looks good
hasn't this already been posted?
Speaking of vibe check avatar doef anyone know where to get one
Isnt this against the rules?
Isnt what aginst the rules
he's just checking vibes
Essentially vibrations are what constitutes every living being so I see no wrong in this
You are a man of class
i might get my oculus quest today or tomorrow
I just use the default charging cable. There is no visual difference between using the included charging cable and the 80 dollar official Link Cable. The higher bandwidth of 3.0 spec goes entirely unused. Save your money.
I learned today that my motherboard has a USB C slot and I wasted money on an anker cable
Anyone willing to play with me?
I thought paying u
Anyone know about any monster girl avatars?
I'm talking like, sheep girls, snake girls, centaurs, cow girls
Pretty sure there’s a monster girl avatar world but it’s PC only
I learned today that my motherboard has a USB C slot and I wasted money on an anker cable
@junior sun you didn't waste money - the usb 3.0 cable is much higher quality
the usb 2.0 cable has to increase the video compression to work.
believe it or not, the charging cable is not usb 3.0
This is incorrect. The 3.0 Link cable does not use it's higher bandwidth. It goes entirely unused - the Oculus Link compression fits entirely within the 2.0 spec, and is used on the 3.0 cable as well
In the future, Oculus may create a higher bandwidth, less compressed option exclusively for 3.0 cables. But for now, the 3.0 cable is indeed a waste of money. Only get one if you are banking on a new feature someday that actually utilizes the higher bandwidth.
For now the included charge cable will give you the same exact experience
Did you really try and @ everyone a server of 100,000 people? >_>
The devs have not stated any plans to add hand tracking
Oh because SteveKnows posted a video saying there was hand tracking in Vrchat coming soon
Would you mind sharing a link to what you are talking about
Yeah I'm interested
Same @jolly thorn
E
Coach: aww, he ain’t comin’ back
if you use virtual desktop with the Quest, you can use hand tracking in the game
but the overall experience involves a lot of extra latency
and besides its not yet even true hand tracking, your essentially just emulating the rift s controllers, and you cant use most of the buttons so its really only for mirror idling
@junior sun @undone flare you are not emulating rift s controllers... quest and rift s use the same exact controllers. They are interchangeable. There is no emulation needed. Also actual hand tracing is not supported in vrchat. Please avoid posting misinformation.
Huh?
Also virtual desktop has no issue with buttons, it is the same as Quest Link
I don’t think you read what you’re trying so hard to correct.
If you load up VRChat using virtual desktop, you can use the Quest’s hand tracking feature to play. That’s objective truth. Accusing people of “spreading misinformation” is rude and implies that someone knows what they are saying is false and is trying to mislead people. You should make sure you understand what people are saying before you try to attack them.
The fact that handtracking doesn’t get used 1:1 and instead mostly mimics the Oculus Touch, is also objectively true.
When someone comes in here asking if you can use quest hand tracking in vrchat, the answer is no. Telling them yes by your weird technicality is wrong, and if you make someone get a quest under that presumption they’ll be pissed later. >_>
Except you CAN use Quest hand tracking in VRChat that way. I gave a caveat that it wasn’t good and Spirited elaborated on how it emulates the physical controllers. Just seems like you want to police everyone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen you acting this condescending and rude to people. By all means, correct the information or feel free to elaborate on it by saying something like “Your VRChat character won’t mimic your full finger motion” but the way you went about it was, as per usual, extremely rude and demeaning.
I just got a Quest and was wondering what case I should get to protect it when I am on the go.
I use all of this.
For the hand straps, I recommend getting the original version instead of the second or upgrade version, though.
I strongly recommend the official travel case, it was made for it and it keeps the controllers from rolling around because it has indents for them. It’s also much smaller than other cases
Rebuffs vrpower also fit in it without needing to take it off
Though if you use other mods it may not fit anymore
adeon writer i feel like you are unaware of the feature that got added in virtual desktops beta, i was trying to correct pyro for posting misinformation, its not hand tracking, its hand tracked controllers
Hello! Tried reading the rules and as far as I know this is the appropriate channel. As of last night, a friend who has the Quest version of Vrchat can no longer log in. Once she gets past the log-in screen, her Quest freezes up and ultimately restarts. She's tried reinstalling several times, and it isn't an internet issue. Any help will be appreciated, but I hope you'll understand that I've search extensively for most of the day and Google isn't helping me. Thanks in advance
Try advising to reset their currently worn avatar using the website. It is possible they are wearing an avatar that is too complex for Quest and crashing on sight.
does anyone know the discord server to become a vrchat officer???
What are you talking about
Heyy
No
Yes to my freind
But he never played it
Cause he just got it today
So may be a little different
I just got an Oculus Quest today and when I tried to use Oculus Link it showed a black screen and wouldn't open VRChat on Quest. Does anyone know a way to fix it?
You can’t start vrc on your pc, you have to launch it in the headset once oculus link starts up. Did you get the message requesting permission to start oculus link in the headset?
does anyone else have a black glitchy thing while on vrchat?
I've had it before. Just tap the power button on your headset twice.
ok ty
Rip chat
turn of then turn back on ur quewt
türk varmı
Why is the quest version so buggy?
There’s the black glitchy thing, there’s the lag, there’s the crashing, there’s the rare glitch that softlocks your system, there’s no translucent things anymore, and there’s the glitch that resets your home world to default.
What’s up with that?
It’s been over a year
These glitches have been a problem since the quest launch
Fix your game
These glitches make the game less enjoyable for me
One of the glitches can only be fixed by double tapping the power button
You can’t get rid of it by uninstalling and reinstalling the game
That’s a huge problem
Quest is very buggy because it's using the same kind of processor used for phones (which is why when creating you have to convert your things over to Android to be Quest compatible).
You also have to take into account that VRChat was first developed for PC and not phones. So you're running very heavily on something that isn't optimized for it.
This isn't including the slow process of troubleshooting and debugging for Quest since it's not yet popular enough for devs to care and act more quickly on fixing.
None of these problems have been fixed in over a year of its existence
Every other multiplayer quest game runs like butter
Some of it has been fixed and then with newer updates, get rebroken again or new problems arise. As a developer, it's common for you to fix one thing and create 3 new problems because of it.
Optimizations would’ve probably been a useful thing to do before release
hi
Especially since it’s a vr game and bad frame rate can lead to vr sickness
Hello Kat
Other quest games are optimized before they release
Sometimes it’s borderline unplayable
VRChat is it's own thing from Quest. To be able to optimize prior to Quest's release date is impossible to know since they don't have the product.
Like when there are the black squares blocking your view
They could’ve done it after release
It’s never been optimized to work well on the thing
It’s still a broken game
Again, it's optimized for PC, not Quest. Quest is mobile and requires stricter protocols. Be happy it's even able to run VRChat in the first place.
Slowly but surely yeah. The dev team isn't huge. So tackling the problems will be a very slow process.
It takes large dev teams months to years to solve some problems. You can't expect a dev team that's only a small fraction of a normal large team to solve the problem within a year.
Shouldn’t they have been given the quest early to develop for it?
Because it was a launch title and it worked as intended
Mostly
Those are two different companies. You would think they should be receiving a Quest to optimize for it. But that's between them.
VRChat is a user generated content game. They have no control over the "optimization" of the game. The users uploading the content are responsible for making android-optimized content.
^ There's that as well.
The game is unstable
They could work on stability and local culling so that it doesn’t break
if they were big brain they'd incentifize wearing optimized content and spending time in optimized worlds
So local culling is where each person has their own culling of objects that are out of their view to save on resources
Like how everyone has their own camera
Not photo camera
Camera as in what they see
that's frustum culling: objects only active when their bounding box has part of it inside the camera cone
Hey sorry to change the topic but does anyone know if the cord that comes with the quest can be used as the link? Or do I have to buy another cord
It can
It can be used but it's a bit of a hassle.
Ight
I just want the game to run smoothly at all times
we all do trust me lol
Yes
We need that
Frustum culling is always on already and occlusion culling needs to be done by the person who made the world
Also: Both types of culling depend on the object's bounding box, so if the boudning boxes for models are not set reasonably, both types of culling are useless.
let's not forget that quest is still able to run avatars way above the polygonal limits that are prescribed by vrchat as safe and 'good'
So if you have a room of 20 people with avatars pushing 60k polygons and you like seeing everyone opposed to seeing robot, that's why. Culling can only do so much to optimize until the hardware hits a brick wall and starts lagging :/
yes but those model in general have way to much material.
yeah, its a combination of both. poly count could be high but with the coupled issue of draw calls per material/texture, it bogs the system down for everyone
just set up quest with link and text just seems to be so blurry even when right up to my face
what resolution do you recommend I set it to?
sorry guys i know this question is stupid but tomorrow i'm gonna buy an oculus quest and the question i wanna ask is: i should buy the quest right now or i should wait for the next model?
I wasn't aware resolution could be set on the quest. Default should just be native once in-game (the menu is low res though)
anyone else run this game on a macbook? ive got the quest linked in the oculus software with steamvr running off of bootcamp windows, was just kinda curious if anyone else out there has tried this as well
no one likely has, because:
- macbook
- you need a supported gpu for quest link, which macs are unlikely to have
@vernal eagle It seems like it will be a while before Oculus releases a new standalone headset like the Quest. I'd say go for it
more specifically, macbooks are unlikely to have them
how long does it take to rank up from visitor to nre user i am trying to publish stuff but i play on a oculus account
guys, should i get the 64gb or the 128gb
Get the 128gb one
@cerulean sedge get the 128 gb but the 64gb will do fine plenty of space unless you want to buy every single game
I got the 64gb like a month ago and I ordered it and it toke like 5 weeks to ship and 3 to deliver idk what it's like now
ah
If your not a hardcore gamer then I would just get the 64
ah ok
bcz all i want to play is vr chat, pavlov (idk if u can get that on the quest) and drunkn bar fight
Pavlov no but the rest yes VRChat is sooo fun I met my biggest friend group on it
For..?
Cool
wanna consider joining?
Idk not that good at rp
I'll think up on the offer, is he making the avatars
Ok
what are some fun things to do on vrchat
I mean. Each world has “different” kinds of people.
Just like do world hopping or something till you have a few buddies to talk to.
@cerulean sedge can I join I'm quest and have VRChat
yessir
@cerulean sedge what is he joining?
a detective role play agency for vrchat
oh neat
you should look into some accessories as well because it is extremely front heavy
yeah same but i thought blades and sorcery was on this and horn as well and that was one of my main reasons to get this but i was disappointed.:((
I might look into it later because I am trying to develop phantom touch
oo nice
nah u need a quest link to play steam vr and rift games but that requires a pc
ah
Would anyone be interested in a quest compatable rp group?
hm, i would but 1: i dont have my vr yet and 2: im currently in another rp group for vrchat
actually space i’ll consider joining, i don’t see why i can’t do phantom and an rp at the same time
alice what is urs abt?
kk cool, alice ill join urs to ig
Oh I dont have one but I've been looking forever for a rp group and cos I'm on quest I cant join in most
the owner is currently trying to make avatars for the agency i think
space what happened to urs?
So I was going to create one lol
when i said two i meant learning phantom and being in an rp at the same time lol
ig u could do two but that might hurt if events are sanctioned at the same time
Well I wanted to do a kind of skyrim soa style fantasy rp
Ill see what i can do lol
Sao
ill send you the inv
kk
or am i allowed to send invs here?
dm me
kk
invite me thru dms
Anyone plssssssss help me
RP group whooao
I always block pc if they dont have a switch skin that goes on both sides
PC and quest
uwu
welp that's a block for me
Lol have fun blocking your friends after a week or two when you spot them wearing something you can’t see
just use the website to do it 
any of you use a kinect for full body?
That's more a question for the pc related channel's isn't it. 
With oculus link can you run games with higher polygons when using a good pc?
Or are you hard capped at low poly cuz it's still the quest hardware that's technically running the game?
Oculus link turns the quest into a pcvr headset, so it plays the same version of VRChat as rift, index or vive. You will need a good gaming pc.
@quartz maple
When using oculus link, quest hardware is not really used. The quest becomes a display device (sort of) the quest does not render anything on its own, it just deals with the incoming video feed from the Pc.
Oo thanks man!
Was asking for a friend because the low polygons are bugging him and we tryna see if it can be increased with link and a gaming pc
Who is looking forward to the Occulus Quest 2 ?
Curious to see what they have in store
oculus quest 2?
There were some leaks about a new quest with a newer processor, and being lighter and smaller
Does anybody know how to create skins?
If that happens my quest is being sold the comfort issue is bugging me
Everyone that’s on quest go on VRChat and look up “simp alert” in worlds that’s my newest world
lmao nice name
who wanna play vr chat with me??
lol no paul. im askin bc i use quest but use the link so i was seein if anyone else does
So I recently got my link cable set up
Is my Ryzen 3300x and RX 5700 XT not meet the requirements for VR?
You need the equivalent of a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or better.
In order to play PCVR in general. Not just Oculus Link
Anything lower powered and Oculus Home will probably refuse to install
It's definitely powerful enough. It's comparable to a 1070. But some AMD cards seem to have some issues when it comes to VR. I remember link only worked on certain AMD cards, idk how much that's improved
I’m running vrchat in vr on a fkn Rx 550 which is comparable to around a gtx 1050 and it runs at 60 fps above all the time and in small lobbies 72 fps
I have a question. today i received my quest, is normal that the right eye is greyish than the left? i don't see this problem when the quest show the boot screen and charging screen, i only see it when it's booted up
I don’t get anything like that.
Recommend contacting Oculus
The only time I see a brightness difference is on boot, one eye is slightly brighter black. Once loaded in everything is fine
just curious, does anybody here have a GTX 1650S (super) or 1660S? both are supported technically by the Oculus Link GPU chart, but do either of these have issues with VR in general? I've heard the 1650S isn't great for VR but the 1660S seems to be quite a bit better, according to benchmarks at least
and I haven't seen anybody exactly complaining about the 1660S, mostly the 1650S
now that I think about it, probably not the best channel for this, but it's Oculus Link related
Friendly neighbourhood quest player here... All I'm getting is black pixels when I try and run vrchat.. newest version
Appears the fix is pressing the power button twice..
yeah, thats a bug that seems to happen occasionally whenever I open just about any app on Quest actually
usually rare though
but yeah a restart or pressing the power button twice (goes into sleep mode then out) works
@lilac heron
gppd
Does anyone do any rp?
Do you guys think that if particles aren’t fixed and are completely broken, that that type of particles should just be removed for quest and something else added?
🤔
how its broken
everytime if i wanna switch the project from windows to android unity crashes, any solutions?
So I just got the quest and every time I get into VRChat it goes slow and blinks like crazy anyone know how to fix this?
So I just got the quest and every time I get into VRChat it goes slow and blinks like crazy anyone know how to fix this?
@crystal oyster like black squares? press the power button twice or restart your headset
ohh wait
I think I know what you mean?
Is it like the FPS is really low and when you turn your head you see black until it catches up?
Even when stationary
ah okay
the black thing is normal, that's just what happens when the FPS can't catch up to your movement
not entirely sure why the FPS is low in the first place though
is it for the entire time the game is open, only after something, or just for a short moment?
Entire time but I found that when I switch to my phones hotspot it works so now@not really dealing with it
I finally got the link but its kinda laggy and even worse when im in vrchat. also when in vrchat i cant talk can someone dm me for help? i may have set the link up wrong...
@hardy adder Lag with link is either due to your PC not being able to handle it or possibly due to your USB, are you using USB 2.0 or 3.0+ and what's your specs?
I'm planning to buy prescription lenses for my Oculus Quest and can't decide between Widmovr and VR Optician, do you guys have any recommendations?
also hi marco
oh this one is a bit tricky
You gotta install the oculus desktop app, then afterwards also install SteamVR from steam (it is called SteamVR, not "[Main] Steam VR", not sure what the second one is but seems shady).
Link your headset to the desktop app, and put it on. Turn it on if you need to but it should be automatic.
Then from the quest menu enable Oculus Link which should take you to the PC version of oculus, the menu will be different and it will also load a different home environment.
Then you select SteamVR and it should yet again move you to another menu and environment and your VR games will show up on the wall
If SteamVR does not show up in the PC oculus menu try launching it using your pc either through your own mouse and keyboard on your monitor or click on the monitor icon in the oculus PC menu in VR and it should stream your screen to your headest
then you can launch it from there and see if that works
Also if your room doesn't have wifi and you rely on ethernet of your pc, sometimes Quest glitches out and gives you a black screen with or without your controllers, if this happens either wait it out or restart Quest and wait and it should work
Ideally you can also use the Oculus version of VRChat (on pc, not quest) and keep steam VR out completely for a extra performance benefit.
Also when you connect your Quest to pc and turn it on it will ask 2 things depending on whether you have oculus desktop app or not.
If it asks you to access data, select No.
If it asks you to enable oculus link, select Yes. If this gives you black screen and you restarted, say no and just do it from within quest menu
Downside of Quest version of VR chat is being unable to view PC only models, so you will be seeing quite a bit of floating robots rather than actual models. Also Link uses your PC specs for VRChat so if your PC is strong, it will give you a performance boost over your untethered quest
(If the last part was to me, Oculus home version (PC), not quest version.)
Unless you have a very specific reason to use the steam vr version, the native home version will not require steam vr to run on top so that can save quite a bit of performance (goes for the other PC rift's aswel)
thanks for the tip!
why do all quest users have to be that stupid nono square guy
There's not as much as you think
There is definitely more and far better then that tho.
And ofc you can make your own. 
I plugged in my Quest to my PC, opened up VR chat and now my controls are all weird? Turning has been moved from right joystick to left, while movement is still on the left one. A and B buttons are reversed, so they open the menu on the wrong controller. Anybody know the cause and/or fix for this?
also i'm running through steamvr, tried installing the OpenVR advanced settings but removed it when this problem occurred, however it's still here
@ocean dome You are describing one handed controls. Turning and movement goes on the same stick if the game is only detecting one controller.
Make sure the quest detects both controllers before activating Oculus Link
Hey guys, are these kind of graphics normal on the quest as a standalone device ?
if you see pink and green spot. the creator of the map or avatar did not use the proper texture format on android. RGB ASTC 4x4 should be use in almost all circumstance and the RGBA variant for cutout/transparency.
contact them
I asked some other guys who were in the lobby with me on the quest, they said that it looked fine for them
Thats why I was curious
maybe they think its normal
Does anyone have some Hazbin hotel avatar worlds or avatars them selves? That are quest compatible that is
But uhm, how about the cards, I can barely read whats infront of me
when you use vr. turn you head around not your eyes.
since its in the center of the lenses that the image is the clearess
and the quest render the border in a lower rez
when you see artefact like this. try to contact the map creator if the discord is provided. @torpid summit
I will, thank you
I just started playing VRchat using the Quest yesterday, and I find it hard to pick stuff up a lot of the time, or to just highlight stuff in general. I'm feel like this is just down to me, but I wanted to know if there was a way to make that easier lol
Are avatars with a polycount just below 15.000 quest compatible? Or do they have to be under 10.000?
you can have whatever you want but
the higher. the more chance it will be bad time
for everyone
so try to stay poor and below
And people with quest are able to see it?
you have to upload a quest/android version of your avatar
Right, so I can upload a 15.000 poly avatar to the android version, and people on quest are able to see it?
yes
however this would be a poor performance model on the quest. depending on the safety settings other quest users have, they may or may not be able to see it
@haughty coyote
Okay i am really confused, pissed and annoyed If i have a wuest and a oclus link can i see pc avatars
quest*
Yes, if you have a PC that can handle VRChat in VR.
Yeah because Oculus Link is using your PC to run everything, not the Quest
this version of VRC is kinda sad sometimes
it's on an under powered system I kinda understand why
hey guys and girls, can someone tell me why vrchat keep crashes on my quest
no one likely has, because:
- macbook
- you need a supported gpu for quest link, which macs are unlikely to have
@blazing sparrow
ehh well I have a macbook because I do music (which i much prefer apple software for) and not a whole lot of gaming. Can't afford a pc at the moment and I figured I might as well try and bootcamp vrchat with the oculus link. Im guessing models before 2019 wont be able to run it but my newer macbook with the Radeon Pro 5300m actually runs the game surprisingly smooth (aside from massive worlds with a lot of players with custom animations). but yea i was just kinda curious if any other people have been able to run the game alright on bootcamped macbooks lol
VR needs a very powerful gaming level PC. Macs tend to be the antithesis of that
One reason I hope VR catches on, you can do so much better than purely targetting PCMR gamers
Quest is a step in the right direction, just needs a more powerful CPU onboard
& someone not-facebook leading it would be cool, so less people boycott it
imagine how powerful the quest would be if it wasn't using specs from 2016
Imagine how not affordable it would be
The thing holding back vr like quest isn’t specs. It’s the price, $399 and no need for a pc or sensors is nice but it still needs to get cheaper before most will jump on board
Increasing price to improve specs is going in the wrong direction. Go cheap with the hardware and use smart software
hello everyone im gonna be new to quest but i e i get to meet some of you guys 🙂
also which quest is better the 399 or 499 ill only be playing vrchat on it
399 if you're going to play one game
The only difference between the two quests is storage size. Games don't take up alot of storage space, and you can always delete and re-download them. There's no reason to get the 128 gb Quest unless you plan to store movies on it.
or lots of screenshots, i guess
hey
can like we up the avatar ranking for quest? like just x2
so like currently
is 5K could we up it to 10K? becuse alot of quest users handle and play in 20K-60K avatars as a normal
distant screaming trying to optimise a model
Bruh I have poor and very poor blocked and I still stutter like nuts. Every quest is the same so I’m not sure how my experience could possibly be different than everyone else’s
Losing restrictions is definitely not wise.
I’d like to see more avatars as much as the next guy but people are just going to upload max they can get away with no matter what
im learning how to convert some basic models from the desktop version to the quest
so far so good
I don't know if this is the right channel for this, but would I be able to play the desktop version of VRChat on my quest through Oculus Link? If so, how?
I don't mean just sharing the screen to my headset and playing on keyboard and mouse, either, I mean the full VRChat desktop experience.
@nimble plover Yes, that's one of the main benifits of owning a quest. The Quest can play the Oculus Home or Steam versions of VRChat if you connect the Quest to a computer via the charge cable.
When doing so you see all avatars and can visit all worlds, just as someone playing a Vive, Rift, or Index.
Of course, that means you need a good gaming PC just as you would need for those headsets
I should also clarify you need to go download Oculus Link software. https://www.oculus.com/setup/
it's below Quest
it says you need a Link cable, but the charge cable works fine.
Well I've been having problems with link but once I sort that out I'm glad I will be able to get the full experience. Thanks for the information!
Can i promote on here?
Hi guys! I'm a quest user looking for other friendly quest users^_^
I love to sing and partake in headpats and lots of cuddles!
I also love to talk to people and find out more about them!
My vrc is Euphixia! Just @ me or DM me so I know who you are!
Is anyone else having an issue saving skins on here for the quest?
And if so how can you get it fixed?
Because I'm still having issues on favoriting some skins and then deleting some
To set up Bhaptics for the foots, would I need to set up things around my room? Is bluetooth? For the quest, alone?
Why tf are my friends getting stuck loading at 0.00
I wanna show some of my friends cool worlds but vrchat is scuffed
does anybody know if theres life is strange (the first one) worlds or avatars for quest
i dont where to ask anymore
¿cómo estás?
Hello :3
I’m looking for friends .. so if you’re bored like me and need a friend hmu :3 I’m nice lol
@haughty coyote I have the Quest my VRChat name is LoganF1107
@haughty coyote ok I just got the quest like 5 days ago so I’m gonna attempt to add you haha
Nah sis @haughty coyote
@haughty coyote you play ?
If anyone wants to add me on vrchat it’s “MikeyMunster” probably easier you adding me then me adding you 🙂
Poor
no?
Plus, you could have a more optimised version uploaded on quest
i thought quest avatars had limit of like, 20k polygons?
@oblique girder they do. But unless you are on quest you are seeing the PC version of the avatar, which has no restrictions.
Most of my avatars, for example, are 7500 on quest and 70000 on PC
So if you see me you will see a a quest user with a 70000 tri avatar
Oh that makes sense
but you know
Yeah
I play Quest VRC all the time
While it is annoying that I can’t see some avatars and public worlds can get laggy, I’ve found it tolerable
If you have a good enough PC you should get Rift
That’s why I just stick to the hub but it kinda gets annoying lmao
The Quest is good of you have an incapatable PC or you just want a VR alone, but most of the games you know and want aren’t on quest, or not on Quest yet
Like H3VR, Pavlov, Help wanted (it’s coming soon though)
Yeah. But you need a have a PC for that
I enjoy my quest but the flaws are noticeable. You also need to have a good enough PC for the VR games to run on with
Yeah. If you want to use the Charging Cable as a link, it has to have a C+ USB port
You don’t need to buy a link if you have a good computer and a C+ port.
You can use the cable as a link.
That’s cool
In my experience, it’s worth it if you just want a casual experience in VR. Beatsaber, Superhot, Vader Immortal, VRChat to some extent,
VRChat is kinda iffy on Quest. PC players are usually using PC only avatars you can’t see which can get annoying.
It can get laggy and crash randomly at times, but crashing rarely happens. If You get a Quest and black pixels show up on your screen in VRChat, just click the off and on button (make sure it makes the off and on button sound as well.)
Soo my sister, using the VRchat app on the Oculus Quest (soley that, no PC connection) went and copied an avatar too large for the device to handle, and crashed the app.
Now, whenever she launches it, the avatar loads in her home world and the app crashes.
Is there anyway to fix this/reset to a default avatar without logging into the game?
yeah actually
easiest way is to head to https://vrchat.com/home/login, login, head to avatars, then hit reset to default avatar
She's only got the oculus account - hasn't been paired to a VRchat account
ah
hm
are you able to run the Oculus version on PC? I'm not quite sure the Oculus version has a desktop mode though
or are you not able to
I'm not entirely sure. I have steam, and my headset is linked to the PC.
But she hasn't linked her Oculus to anything. We have the cable, but the graphics card isn't recognized by the program
Only thing we can do is use virtual desktop, and even then, it'd be through Steam VR... which isn't linked.
VRchat has support tickets, right?
Thanks. I'll keep looking
also, GPU compatibility for Link is here https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/?locale=en_US
I hear from someone on reddit that the oculus account is the VR chat account..
Yep. CPU doesnt' match it
Still runs decently with virtual desktop, so, yay wireless VR
Yea. Steam Home's a mess, but VR chat works fine
Yeaaa....
this is definitely one bit of a predicament
actually
okay so
did she upload the avatar or did she clone it off someone?
clone =-=
ah
I was going to say, if she uploaded it then you could just swap out the model
or delete it
yeahh all I can think of is try running the Oculus version in "desktop mode" (technically isn't, it appears to be just vr mode without an HMD in a way? i don't know, might be old info)
if you can't figure anything out, contact support I guess
good luck
Took her headset
Turns out she copied one of the "Godzilla super size" avatars... with pretty atrocious geometry.
Fortunately I can still log in - I'll link her to an account and see if I can't reset it there.
okay
one thing to keep in mind is that linking transfers everything if I recall
so she will be forced to login with the VRC account
VRC accounts do have advantages over Oculus/Steam accounts though so
just read the stuff thoroughly
also if you can log in can't you change the avatar there?
Cucumber

Thank u guys alot for helping me with my questions u guys are a life savor ❤️
yes
Just got a quest about a week ago. VR chat looks great! Met a guy who takes me to these worlds but the framerates are DIPPIN bro. Any advice on what can help with this?
Get a pc
The performance on quest is the same for everyone, since it’s sort of like a console. If it runs bad in quest it’s just the world creator didn’t mind it or didn’t have a quest to test it
I see theres a channel in this discord for quest worlds.. any good ones you can recommend?
It's probably pretty common, but Midnight Rooftop is my favorite world with quest support and made me realize it is possible to convert complex worlds for quest with no real sacrifices, if you know what you are doing
It's just a hangout world, but it's pretty, and basically looks the same as PC
No idea. I think they have their own Discord server
in my experience RecRoom worked pretty well. Frames dipped once and a while when around a bunch of people but i was able to play laser tag and stuff
is it worth using a quest over something like oculus rift s or htc vive?
Depends on what you want it for. I have a Quest, and it works great for what I wanted it for: a cheap(ish), entry level headset that doesn't need a lot of space to work. If you have plenty of space, a good PC, plenty of cash etc., the other headsets aren't strictly better but you'll be getting the most games in the easiest way.
The Quest has oculus link, making it super versatile, but playing anything on link that isn't on the oculus pc store is difficult to set up and may not work as well or at all with a quest.
Overall, if you're talking strictly about VRChat, I think a Quest is pretty great, although unless you use link you won't be getting the full experience. If you're talking about VR as a whole, maybe a higher-end headset would be better, but only if you can afford the space, processing power, AND cash to support it.
@shadow steeple
what does link actually do?
Connects your Quest to your PC via usb and essentially makes your Quest a Rift S in the sense you'll be playing in PC mode, no longer Quest.
Hey so I been having some issues favoriting some Avatars like Froppy from my hero academia I can favorite it but it doesn't show even When I remove an Avatar I don't want anymore it still left on favorites
The way i fix it is to unfavourite the avatar you don't want, then restart vr chat
Hi, My names Xͧ͒͂Æ͛̔ͮ1͌͒͗2̎̃́
Hi X-Æ-12, my name is 1
Hey I’m having this problem where worlds won’t load and just stay at 0.00% does anyone know a fix to this?
PCs can be expensive
i'm getting my quest in 5 days yay
?
i bought a quest
?
ah
Now my VRChat won't start
well idk about comuters really
(._. )
well why dont you just play the version from the actual quest game store?
I could yea, that's an option
idk if the quest would work with my pc
What's your CPU and GPU?
Just go here, and look at the CPU and GPU
In layman terms, for the CPU, if the number next to the Intel or Ryzen for your cpu is bigger, then you're good
GPU is you just look for the number and see if it matches
CPU is fine
And gpu?
It doesn't show
Can you do Start > Type Run
Something like this should show
Open that up and type dxdiag into it
My laptop is ded right now lul
ah rip
Maybe it says somewhere on the box it came in
Probably
Do you have the laptop model number?
Or whatever it is? Like for example, my old laptop is a Lenovo e470
It says on the box my cpu is AMD R7-3750H/BGA
Yup, Anything on GPU?
Its model number is FX505DT-AL305T
Is it this one by any chance?
Ye
Wow
As you can see in this table here, the GTX 1650 is not supported
Looks like
I was looking forward to playing it
You seem like a really nice person, shame the device you have isn't compatible.
Yea...
I was hoping to get some pc games
Sad
Welp ill just have to settle with quest only games
And im not even sure if i would be able to side load anything onto it
Thank you btw
All good
Sup, i guess im not the first one asking about that but, everything goes fine on the setup of my cable with the oculus software, but when i try to start oculus link from the headset, the screen becomes black forever. Any ideas?
i cant see even those 3 pixels everyone talks about
Nah that was a joke for quest users, anyway
I am getting the same problem but I don’t have an answer for you sorry
np
did
reinstalled, factory reset too
tried almost everything i could find in google
valors from the debug options
versions, both are at v18 now
the computer software shows all green checks
hey just got my vr and need some help
@lunar meadow @small panther managed to fix it
nope
I managed to fix it I mean
In reinstalling the link software again, we'll see
news are i can hear sound from the oculus quest but no video
Are you using radeon gpu by any chance?
Maybe not then
Well, my vrchat wasn't working properly even when I got the gpu fixed.
Try running vrchat via steamvr instead of the oculus store
Oculus seems to be bugged for me at least
So I bypassed it entirely by running it through steamvr instead
The thing is, i cant even see steamvr or anything, it just turns black after clicking the link on my oculus home
i dont even know how it looks you know
So when you attach the cable to your quest and accept the beta mode, what happpens?
Or does it even happen in the first place?
Was it working before?
Yeah, it shows the pop up to accept the link beta
nope, first time trying it
But as soon as i accept, i get the black screen, but if i try to watch a video on my computer, i can hear it from the oculus quest
i tried checking screen options from windows too, but nothing
updated drivers and windows update too
Probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyways, you are using a type c port that directly connects to your motherboard right? I.e. not the using a usb 2.0 adapter right?
from usb type c (oculus) to an 3.0 usb a
the link software gives the green check on it, but idk
Its so weird, because you can hear things but no video, must be a little thing
so hard to find answers about those topics
Can't say I've run into the issue you had. Mine worked first time set up with a few installation difficulties
Do none of these apply? https://support.oculus.com/572216283519517/
