It’s 7 am here so do I, I’m not risking it. I reported it, and I refuse to get any of my family doxxed in case it’s true..

#

If I was on my own I would, but not my family

blazing sparrow
#

k. you do what you feel is safe.

plucky barn
#

I tried dming the tags

#

Not sure if it went through, but if you do stay hella safe

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?

obsidian zealot
#

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

#

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?

glossy wagon
#

can yall tuch the floor in quest i cant

obsidian zealot
#

VRChat floor won’t line up unless you use an avatar with the same ratios as your real body

haughty coyote
#

Is the social menu broken again?

#

nope

left harbor
#

Why the hell did they separate pc and quest

obsidian zealot
#

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

viscid fern
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

DM them to me and I will assess how easy it might be and consider it.

viscid fern
#

Alright

glossy wagon
#

man porting my avatar from pc to quest made it look like fired clay

viscid fern
#

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

glossy wagon
#

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

viscid fern
#

Same here, I hate how steam runs most games better than oculus, even though i’m using an oculus headset

glossy wagon
#

right

haughty coyote
#

Ugh this quest shit is tiring, I need particles!

frozen hedge
#

But Quest allows particles?

viscid fern
#

^^

haughty coyote
#

Yeah some creators have already fixed their particles

undone flare
#

surprised they even support particles, wouldnt be surprised if people have already abused that

kindred sorrel
#

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.

frozen hedge
#

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

kindred sorrel
#

It should be good then

#

Don't worry about it

#

Make sure by asking a Quest player tho

#

You never know

frozen hedge
#

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

plucky barn
#

So, how come avatar sounds was removed??? And will it be added back?

undone flare
#

it was a unintentional bug, it wasnt supposed to be a feature, it likely wont be added back

plucky barn
#

Why not????

#

It was amazing and just fine??

undone flare
#

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

haughty coyote
#

@kindred sorrel what about black squares in your face every now and then?

kindred sorrel
#

Oh wait

#

Yeah there's also that

haughty coyote
#

@kindred sorrel yeah they really break your whole system once you get them you have to restart the console most of the time

kindred sorrel
#

Actually no

#

You don't have to completely restart your headset

#

Just press the power off button twice and it should be gone

haughty coyote
#

I’ll try that next time

plucky barn
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

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?

haughty coyote
#

Sometimes there's also a bug where your entire Avatar list is empty.

undone flare
#

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

arctic ferry
#

😦

undone flare
#

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.

quiet chasm
#

guess who just got a quest

undone flare
#

you?

quiet chasm
#

ye

#

its still charging

haughty coyote
#

Hey guys

haughty coyote
#

This might be a dumb question but does anyone know when particles a gonna be fixed?

coral girder
#

Whats the difference between the Oculus quest 64gb and 128gb

obsidian zealot
#

Oculus Quest 128gb has twice as much storage space as Oculus Quest 64gb

coral girder
#

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..?

obsidian zealot
#

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

undone flare
#

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

coral girder
#

thank you!

haughty coyote
#

probably just wait until tomorrow tbh

#

love it when i reply to someone from days ago because i'm not scrolled down -.-

quiet chasm
#

is hand tracking in vrchat a thing?

undone flare
#

not yet

quiet chasm
#

I'd love this

obsidian zealot
#

Wait for a popular PcVR headset to support it. As long as it’s quest only it won’t get adopted

haughty coyote
#

@undone flare not yet what do you mean?

undone flare
#

its not a feature currently, it might become one someday, but i dont know

😔 it's the only place where introverts can try to be extroverts

wise musk
#

Is there any way you can use PC VR Chat with the Oculus Link?

blazing sparrow
#

Yes

wise musk
#

Oh really? Through Steam VR?

blazing sparrow
#

You can do it through the oculus software

haughty coyote
#

if you use oculus link doesnt it recognize you as a rift user

blazing sparrow
#

but you can still see everyone

haughty coyote
#

so if you use oculus link you can see pc avatars like you would on desktop or normal pcvr

wise musk
#

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

blazing sparrow
#

yeah

#

oculus link

wise musk
#

Oh

#

So how do you set that up?

#

Just use the USB and just use the VR Chat on Quest?

blazing sparrow
#

You need a usb a to c or c to c cable

wise musk
#

Aaah gotcha yeah

blazing sparrow
#

You can use the quest's charging cable

wise musk
#

I just need the right cable into the PC

#

Because the charging cable is C in both ends

blazing sparrow
#

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.

wise musk
#

Awesome, thanks!

obsidian zealot
#

If your Pc has a USB-C port, you can just connect it with the charge cable. Works fine

wise musk
#

Alrighty, thanks for the help

violet vigil
#

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?

full delta
#

hey how well can furry tails / wings be done on the quest?

#

no dynamic bones, right? could they be animated instead of dynamic?

tawdry wyvern
#

Yes

obsidian zealot
#

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

tawdry wyvern
#

Grab the idle animation in the skd. Duplicate it and add a tail animation

#

And put that one in the animation overwrite

full delta
#

yeah i found a tutorial on animation overrides. thanks guys

This is the Quest channel, not much happening here

spare whale
#

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

past isle
#

yes you can play SteamVR on oculus link

obsidian zealot
#

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.

haughty coyote
#

If you have a 5 GHz wifi you can stream wirelessly from your pc to the quest. Or use a cable. @spare whale

oak needle
#

Is there a way to make vrchat run smoother on the quest

obsidian zealot
#

Don't auto-unhide poor avatars

#

set it to medium

shell gorge
#

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?

brave steppe
#

Wait, why are you blocking shaders?

shell gorge
#

Because the system tells me I can’t have them on.

#

I assume it’s a hardware thing.

brave steppe
#

Oh right, quest thing, forgot

broken trout
#

Did you mkae sure that

#

Safety settings are applied to every role?

brave steppe
#

Yeah, for the performance blocked users you can manually unblock them

broken trout
#

Ah

brave steppe
#

It's that way so that your quest won't implode into itself trying to render all the not so optimised avatars

broken trout
#

heheh

#

There's a lot of not so optimized avatars

haughty coyote
#

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

haughty coyote
#

@broken trout can u help you seem to know stuff

broken trout
#

Uh

#

Do other apps work

haughty coyote
#

no

#

steamvr black vrchat black

#

only the starting screen like with the chair and the carpet yknow

#

@broken trout dm?

broken trout
#

Hmm

#

Is there any updates on software

haughty coyote
#

nope

broken trout
#

Have you contacted Oculus support?

haughty coyote
#

no but they take too long

broken trout
#

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

haughty coyote
#

but can i ask someone in chat here bc people are smart and there on all day thats why

#

bc it just happend today

broken trout
#

So

#

Which app did you restart and download?

haughty coyote
#

oculus app

solar glade
obsidian zealot
#

@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?

obsidian zealot
#

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

gray zephyr
#

I see

#

is it possible to connect earbuds to a quest, @obsidian zealot ?

obsidian zealot
#

Yes it has standard headphone jack holes on both sides. @gray zephyr

gray zephyr
#

Thank you ^^

#

do you think this might be fixed in a future update

obsidian zealot
#

That’s up to vrchat

#

I made a Canny for it if you want to vote for it

Do you guys think the rule of having to be 13 to get into Vrc should be better enforced

digital sparrow
#

hey so... vrchat supports oculus quest hand tracking now.

young dagger
#

You serious?

digital sparrow
#

more serious than sirius

#

I'm about to upload two videos

#

to my youtube

young dagger
#

Like does it just work if you start using hand tracking from the get go or do u have to set it up somehow?

digital sparrow
#

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

young dagger
#

Huh intresting

digital sparrow
#

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"

young dagger
#

But how would it work by doing things like bringing up the menu in Vrchat?

digital sparrow
#

i couldn't get that to happen

#

though hitting escape on my keyboard opens the menu

#

or not.

young dagger
#

Oh snap that's pretty sick

digital sparrow
#

i can't move (no joysticks) but i can move my hands and do gestures

digital sparrow
#

nevermind, it's not vrchat natively. it's virtual desktop that's using quest hand tracking, then feeding it to vrchat as input

haughty coyote
#

Does anyone know why the Lonely Pug and Void Club isn’t on Quest?

sour carbon
#

only worlds that have been uploaded with a quest version is visible to quest users

ohh yea for me it has been a few days of just replaying the login @formal pier

haughty coyote

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

formal pier
#

@haughty coyote you cant login or it doesnt load

haughty coyote
#

Can you play bro chat on a quest/rift without a pc?

haughty coyote
#

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.

haughty coyote
#

finally fixed my quest

anyone down to hang out in vrchat today/tonight? kinda lost all my friends on therr

is vrchat ever going to make the quest players see the players

or let us go in the all the same worlds

blazing sparrow
#

You can see players

#

just not most of their avatars

devout zodiac
#

see there avatars sorry

blazing sparrow
#

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

devout zodiac
#

o

#

right

south coral
#

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

marble marsh
#

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.

south coral
#

I know I know

#

I guess I was waiting for the "right time"?

#

Honestly was kinda stupid

marble marsh
#

I mean the worst thing that's probably gonna happen with that is they don't accept the friend request tbh.

south coral
#

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

violet rock
#

Vrchat is so boring on quest

#

I've just deleted it.

#

if anyone knows how to link the oculus quest to pc without a oculus quest but a usb can you help me

burnt pivot
#

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 .

haughty coyote
#

You're not playing in the dark are you?

tight folio
#

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

burnt pivot
#

@tight folio pretty sure you just need the link

#

@haughty coyote no, i'm playing in a fairly well lit room

tight folio
#

@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

haughty coyote
#

You can use either. You can even use the stock charging cable that comes with the quest as a link cable now

burnt pivot
#

holy sh that's pretty cool the cable it came with will allow you to play pcvr

haughty coyote
#

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

burnt pivot
#

that's pretty nuts being as it came with the original headset

#

the rift s needsa 3.0+ to operate

haughty coyote
#

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

burnt pivot
#

as I've been told some titles require more vram and power usage than your gpu and cpu are usually used to

barren moss
#

Imagine not using USB3.0 as a default on products in 2020

burnt pivot
#

i have a few 2.0 on my current setup

barren moss
#

but that's good it's optimized for 2.0 😄

#

Yeah that's fair, my mobo has only 2 USB3 slots for some reason

burnt pivot
#

I don't use them buuuut 😆

#

they are there

barren moss
#

But my case has 3.0 slots so it's evened out I guess?

burnt pivot
#

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

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.

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

obsidian zealot
#

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

Is there hand tracking in vrchat yet?

#

@everyone

obsidian zealot
#

Did you really try and @ everyone a server of 100,000 people? >_>

#

The devs have not stated any plans to add hand tracking

jolly thorn
#

Oh because SteveKnows posted a video saying there was hand tracking in Vrchat coming soon

obsidian zealot
#

News to me.

#

Do you have a source?

jolly thorn
#

He posted an article

#

He found by the creator of Vrchat

obsidian zealot
#

Would you mind sharing a link to what you are talking about

haughty coyote
#

Yeah I'm interested

Coach: aww, he ain’t comin’ back

junior sun
#

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

undone flare
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

@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.

junior sun
#

Huh?

obsidian zealot
#

Also virtual desktop has no issue with buttons, it is the same as Quest Link

junior sun
#

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.

obsidian zealot
#

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. >_>

junior sun
#

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.

junior sun
#

For the hand straps, I recommend getting the original version instead of the second or upgrade version, though.

obsidian zealot
#

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

undone flare
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

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.

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?

obsidian zealot
#

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?

#

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

rancid crow
#

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.

red fjord
#

None of these problems have been fixed in over a year of its existence

#

Every other multiplayer quest game runs like butter

rancid crow
#

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.

red fjord
#

Optimizations would’ve probably been a useful thing to do before release

haughty coyote
#

hi

red fjord
#

Especially since it’s a vr game and bad frame rate can lead to vr sickness

rancid crow
#

Hello Kat

red fjord
#

Other quest games are optimized before they release

#

Sometimes it’s borderline unplayable

rancid crow
#

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.

red fjord
#

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

rancid crow
#

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.

red fjord
#

Ok

#

But they could optimize it for the quest too, now that it’s out, right?

rancid crow
#

Slowly but surely yeah. The dev team isn't huge. So tackling the problems will be a very slow process.

red fjord
#

Ok

#

Over a year without optimization though

rancid crow
#

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.

red fjord
#

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

rancid crow
#

Those are two different companies. You would think they should be receiving a Quest to optimize for it. But that's between them.

obsidian zealot
#

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.

rancid crow
#

^ There's that as well.

red fjord
#

The game is unstable

#

They could work on stability and local culling so that it doesn’t break

obsidian zealot
#

if they were big brain they'd incentifize wearing optimized content and spending time in optimized worlds

red fjord
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

that's frustum culling: objects only active when their bounding box has part of it inside the camera cone

red fjord
#

Yes

#

They could do that

#

It would probably make the game run better

hardy adder
#

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

red fjord
#

It can

rancid crow
#

It can be used but it's a bit of a hassle.

red fjord
#

Not well but it’s possible

#

Culling

hardy adder
#

Ight

red fjord
#

I just want the game to run smoothly at all times

rancid crow
#

we all do trust me lol

red fjord
#

It seems like such a simple thing to add

#

Bruh

obsidian zealot
red fjord
#

Yes

red fjord
#

We need that

violet lodge
#

Frustum culling is always on already and occlusion culling needs to be done by the person who made the world

obsidian zealot
#

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.

sand wedge
#

anybody here

#

void saffron
#

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 :/

tawdry wyvern
#

yes but those model in general have way to much material.

void saffron
#

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

quartz maple
#

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?

vernal eagle
#

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?

obsidian zealot
#

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

blazing sparrow
#

no one likely has, because:

  1. macbook
  2. you need a supported gpu for quest link, which macs are unlikely to have
rough bluff
#

@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

#

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?

obsidian zealot
#

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.

quartz maple

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

So I recently got my link cable set up

#

Is my Ryzen 3300x and RX 5700 XT not meet the requirements for VR?

obsidian zealot
#

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

haughty coyote
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

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

lusty vector
#

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

@crystal oyster like black squares? press the power button twice or restart your headset

Is it like the FPS is really low and when you turn your head you see black until it catches up?

crystal oyster

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?

crystal oyster

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...

lusty vector
#

@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?

hard perch
#

hi

#

beautiful people :3

quartz maple
#

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

final shale
#

Now that I have my link cable

#

how do I sync my VR with steam?

quartz maple
#

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

woeful cypress
#

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.

quartz maple
#

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

woeful cypress
#

(If the last part was to me, Oculus home version (PC), not quest version.)

quartz maple
#

oh

#

dang why didn't I think of that

woeful cypress
#

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)

quartz maple
#

thanks for the tip!

haughty coyote
#

why do all quest users have to be that stupid nono square guy

ocean dome
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

@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

since its in the center of the lenses that the image is the clearess

#

and the quest render the border in a lower rez

That makes sense

#

Thanks for your help

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

haughty coyote
#

Are avatars with a polycount just below 15.000 quest compatible? Or do they have to be under 10.000?

tawdry wyvern
#

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

haughty coyote
#

And people with quest are able to see it?

sour carbon
#

you have to upload a quest/android version of your avatar

haughty coyote
#

Right, so I can upload a 15.000 poly avatar to the android version, and people on quest are able to see it?

sour carbon
#

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

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*

worldly rapids
#

Yes, if you have a PC that can handle VRChat in VR.

lusty vector
#

Yeah because Oculus Link is using your PC to run everything, not the Quest

olive venture
#

this version of VRC is kinda sad sometimes

haughty coyote
#

it's on an under powered system I kinda understand why

haughty coyote
#

hey guys and girls, can someone tell me why vrchat keep crashes on my quest

formal pier
#

no one likely has, because:

  1. macbook
  2. 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

olive venture
#

imagine how powerful the quest would be if it wasn't using specs from 2016

obsidian zealot
#

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

vestal blade
#

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

olive venture
#

399 if you're going to play one game

obsidian zealot
#

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

cobalt vortex
#

hey

weary wind
#

can like we up the avatar ranking for quest? like just x2
so like currently vrcPerfExcellent 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

obsidian zealot
#

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

dense sluice
#

im learning how to convert some basic models from the desktop version to the quest

#

so far so good

nimble plover
#

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.

obsidian zealot
#

@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

#

it's below Quest

#

it says you need a Link cable, but the charge cable works fine.

nimble plover
#

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!

oblique girder
#

i thought quest avatars had limit of like, 20k polygons?

formal jasper
#

no?

oblique girder
#

yeah... just read thru the document

#

sorry

blazing sparrow
#

Plus, you could have a more optimised version uploaded on quest

obsidian zealot
#

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

oblique girder
#

Oh that makes sense

tawdry wyvern
#

but you know

grave flicker
#

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

haughty coyote
#

That’s why I just stick to the hub but it kinda gets annoying lmao

grave flicker
#

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

haughty coyote
#

Get quest it isn’t too bad

#

I enjoy it lol

grave flicker
#

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.)

Can anyone help me get a custom model or face rig

#

Preferably face rig for now

raw sphinx
#

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?

lusty vector
#

yeah actually

raw sphinx
#

She's only got the oculus account - hasn't been paired to a VRchat account

lusty vector
#

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

raw sphinx
#

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?

lusty vector
#

this is interesting

raw sphinx
#

Thanks. I'll keep looking

lusty vector
raw sphinx
#

I hear from someone on reddit that the oculus account is the VR chat account..

#

Yep. CPU doesnt' match it

lusty vector
#

damn

#

you can run SteamVR though?

raw sphinx
#

Still runs decently with virtual desktop, so, yay wireless VR

#

Yea. Steam Home's a mess, but VR chat works fine

lusty vector
#

huh

#

I would say just try to transfer to a VRChat account but one issue

raw sphinx
#

Yeaaa....

lusty vector
#

this is definitely one bit of a predicament

#

actually

#

okay so

#

did she upload the avatar or did she clone it off someone?

raw sphinx
#

clone =-=

lusty vector
#

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

raw sphinx
#

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.

lusty vector
#

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?

raw sphinx
#

not working

#

somehow all the other buttons work

#

... for some stupid reason.

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?

bronze glade
#

Get a pc

obsidian zealot
#

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

sacred ravine
#

I see theres a channel in this discord for quest worlds.. any good ones you can recommend?

obsidian zealot
#

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

obsidian zealot
#

No idea. I think they have their own Discord server

sacred ravine
#

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

shadow steeple
#

is it worth using a quest over something like oculus rift s or htc vive?

nimble plover
#

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

shadow steeple
#

what does link actually do?

worldly rapids
#

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

I just bought a quest

Bruh

haughty coyote

?

final shale
#

Basically, if you have a 5000X series GPU

#

It doesn't play well with the Oculus

haughty coyote
#

ah

final shale
#

Now my VRChat won't start

haughty coyote
#

well idk about comuters really

final shale
#

(._. )

haughty coyote
#

well why dont you just play the version from the actual quest game store?

final shale
#

I could yea, that's an option

haughty coyote
#

idk if the quest would work with my pc

final shale
#

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

haughty coyote
final shale
#

CPU is fine

haughty coyote
#

And gpu?

final shale
#

It doesn't show

#

Can you do Start > Type Run

#

Something like this should show

#

Open that up and type dxdiag into it

haughty coyote
#

My laptop is ded right now lul

final shale
#

ah rip

haughty coyote
#

Maybe it says somewhere on the box it came in

final shale
#

Probably

#

Do you have the laptop model number?

#

Or whatever it is? Like for example, my old laptop is a Lenovo e470

haughty coyote
#

It says on the box my cpu is AMD R7-3750H/BGA

final shale
#

Yup, Anything on GPU?

haughty coyote
#

Nope

#

Only shows the cpu ram and internet stuff

#

Its a Azuz laptop tho

final shale
#

Have the model number?

#

Or rather what the laptop calls itself?

haughty coyote
#

Its model number is FX505DT-AL305T

final shale
haughty coyote
#

Ye

final shale
#

Alright

#

Looks like it's not compatible

haughty coyote
#

Wow

final shale
#

As you can see in this table here, the GTX 1650 is not supported

haughty coyote
#

Sad

#

Guess ill have to get a refund on Skyrim VR

final shale
#

Looks like

haughty coyote
#

I was looking forward to playing it

final shale
#

You seem like a really nice person, shame the device you have isn't compatible.

haughty coyote
#

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

final shale
#

All good

#

Is this happening to quest users too?

#

The vrchat crash

lunar meadow
#

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?

small panther
#

“Hold up I got the black pixels”

lunar meadow
#

i cant see even those 3 pixels everyone talks about

small panther
#

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

lunar meadow
#

np

pine iron
#

Lol it happens rarely to me

#

It becomes black?

#

Hold reset it?

lunar meadow
#

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

somber oak
#

hey just got my vr and need some help

final shale
#

@lunar meadow @small panther managed to fix it

lunar meadow
#

nope

final shale
#

I managed to fix it I mean

lunar meadow
#

In reinstalling the link software again, we'll see

#

news are i can hear sound from the oculus quest but no video

final shale
#

Are you using radeon gpu by any chance?

lunar meadow
#

nope, GTW 2060

#

GTX*

final shale
#

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

lunar meadow
#

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

final shale
#

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?

lunar meadow
#

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

final shale
#

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?

lunar meadow
#

from usb type c (oculus) to an 3.0 usb a

#

the link software gives the green check on it, but idk

final shale
#

Yea should work theoretically

#

Oculus says it supports usb 3.0

lunar meadow
#

Its so weird, because you can hear things but no video, must be a little thing

#

so hard to find answers about those topics

final shale
#

Can't say I've run into the issue you had. Mine worked first time set up with a few installation difficulties
