Hmm what's the darkest area in your room?
uh well ive tacked down one side of the window but my room is small so lul
im using my bedroom as my playspace since its like the most space i can use
and out in the lounge room isnt "safe"
Some ppl on reddit keep it in the box! Just but the top over it and call it a day
Hold on look
can sunlight damage the tracking cameras?
alright ill have to clear out a spot in my wardrobe then
i was planning on storing in the the travel case i got or in my plastic draws XD
Use that as a last option! Look for any other spaces if possible
ye
Haha the only time I put my quest in a travel case is to travel ahah. Otherwise it's on a stand with the lenses cover
yea i was thinking that taking it in and out of the travel case multiple times a day could end up scratching it
What is the inside of your case fitted with? Mine has a alcantara type thing in it
ill just clear out a shelf in my wardrobe
Ok
but yea thanks @naive ocean
i want my quest to last me a good 2 years
And here is mine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083TDHQH7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XkadFb7JWW0AN
Np.!! Same or prolly longer. I dont think alot of ppl is going to upgrade to the next version of quest
nah i think ill stay with the current quest
XD
Fuck!!!!!
yes i dad the case
Ok does it have a soft like feeling to it?
i got the silicon interface thing too
@haughty coyote ok great!!👍
i bought knuckle straps controller grips and padding for the back of the head strap but they are coming from like china and hong kong
yea its soft
but still ill just store it like the pic
Damn has to be l long while since it has to be imported
ill leave the top of the box off and just put it in my wardrobe i have 2 doors so it should be safe in there
welcome baaaaack
Wb!!
ima tack down my curtains
yea its soft
@haughty coyote ok I think u should be good then if u take it in and out the case
That's if you had to go that route
i might not put the controllers in it tho since it looks like a tight fit
did you get a travel case
Ye
well actually i dont think the quest will fit in the case once i get my battery pack on it
Hold on
cuz im gonna buy a power bank thing
lul
also the case came with this velcro strap thing ima use it on the power bank for extra security since im gonna buy shitty velcro XD
Lol okay 😅
idk if i should get double sided velcro or if i should just get normal velcro and like sew it
like i was planning to buy like 50mm thick velcro and sew it so i can make a headstrap but i think i might just buy the $40 one on amazon
its got leather on the side that goes on your hair so ye
so idk if i should just rake up some money and like buy the 3d printed mount for a power bank?
See what other Youtubers setup is and see if you want to replicate it. Do u mean ebay??😅
Huh I
Lol
Get the 64gb
sun burns the lens tho @sterile rose
nah on amazon its a bit cheaper
@haughty coyote so u can buy from Amazon????!!!!!!!
KIWI design Headband Head Strap for Oculus Quest/Oculus Rift Virtual Reality VR Headset Accessories, Comfortable PU Leather & Reduce Head Pressure (Black): Amazon.com.au: Electronics
its like $8 shipping tho
I'm cunfuzzled
if i could find something else i want on amazon i could save alot more money but it has to have this stupid thing
there is amazon in australia
Oh great!!!!!
Oh ok
all the stuff on amazon is what i can get on ebay
👌🏾
idk i might just buy it from ebay
theres like nothing else i want on amazon so i dont get the free shipping
Yea just easier
its easier for me to buy from ebay XD
and how didnt it work for you
like i wont get it if i dont have to
its like $40 so lul
just $40 for a strap of velcro
Doesn't fit me right 🤷
5pm
3:18am for me
Sameee
I hope u have enough AA battery
The controllers eat through them like no tm. But u can turn down of turn off the vibration to make it last longer
also got a recharging station for the batteries XD
i bought rechargeable AA batteries
@haughty coyote which ones?
i bought a different charger tho
a cheaper one so yea the batteries take a bit longer to charge but oh well
Ok thx I'll look into it. Looking for the best ones
lul yea a youtuber suggested to get this brand so i did
Right and same here
they dont fade out like other batteries do they keep a constant power then like just cut out
well cut out when their dead
Do u remember who?
nope
Figured!
but the 4 pack comes in a plastic case so thats what i store them in
👌🏾
lul
Lol welp imma head out now ttyl
bye
Baiii Adam c:
i found a better headstrap
Helps improve comfort by supporting front weight of the headset. Our products are produced with our own custom bonded Studioform Looptex fabric to give three layers of foam padded comfort. A great solution for long play sessions. The strap also comes with a spare Velcro kit to...
i think its in aud
i might buy it when i get my money tomorrow since i know im gonna play alot of vr chat and stuff and i can wait till i actually get paid to buy games
oof i wont have enough to get it express shipped tho
f being $2 short XD
rip cx
i'll just have to get normal shipping then
hope it doesn't take too long to get there
it says it can take 7-10 days but with express its only 2-3 days
i get my quest in 2 days well 1 day and a half
i could ask to borrow some money from my mum but i think she doesnt have any to spare
Aw man xwx well it's still good that you're getting the quest soon!
i wont ask to borrow any money cuz i wont be able to pay her back until the 24th
Skip on the deluxe audio strap it didn’t do anything
it might help me tho
I tried it and it just made it worse
cuz i know im gonna hate it being front heavy
Ordered quest fo halo strap thing I’ll see if that helps
hm
how fun
i cant even get a vrpower
I got some comfort strap thing but I haven't actually tried it yet
I'm just gonna strap a power bank on or something instead of vr power lol
i might wait till i get a powerbank and stuff to see if i need the strap i guess..
not sure since i haven't got it yet but it should
what
yeah I had the same reaction but I get the glitch a lot
Bruh why tf would that matter
friedfrench is thinking of getting a quest so hes just asking in general lul
It’s feels a little front heavy at first but its not bad at all
It’s not front heavy enough to be uncomfortable, and if you want to make it even more comfortable get a vr cover. I mean it might get a little uncomfortable after a long play sesh but you get used to it
btw @sterile rose what headphones do you use im looking to get pair of headphones with noise cancelling for under $80
$80 aud btw
yea but its shit audio
and i can always hear my mum in the other room talking its a pain
hmm ill just keep looking on ebay
there’s a glasses spacer that comes with the quest @sterile rose
External mic doesn't work on quest xwx just tried it
The jacks on the sides are only for outputting audio
And I have Bose QC35
They're not under $80 but they're one of the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy
Oof
Sad
Guess the only choice is the internal mic
Yep xc
Btw do normal headphones work with it?
Like if i just put my headphone in one jack?
Also does either type c port on the left and right side compatible with charging?
@haughty coyote
Sorry
Yee normal wired headphones work, probably more reliable than wireless
And it does use a type c port to charge so yeah
There's only one port on the left side for charging
Oooof
👀
👋🏾👋🏾
Ye there's only one type c port on the left side, the right side has the power button
^^
Btw Donavan your headphones are $200 to $300 in Australia
@haughty coyote 👋🏾
Hi adam
Yeah •-• I got mine off of eBay for around $130 usd
Damn
Ima just stick with my $25 headphones
💵
Sounds gooood
My wired headphones were like $40 tho
And my wireless ones have better auido quality XD
Haha how old are your headphones?
lol
I'd try and do wired over wireless if you can cuz wireless headphones do work, but results are mixed
Most times you get lag
Haha how old are your headphones?
@naive ocean hm i got the wireless ones on the 12th of june
I got my wired ones on the 30th of March
Oh ok I'll be back a lil later going to the supermarket!
weeeeee
Not sure if this helps some~ I use headphones that came with my iPhone, has a mic and it works good and if you have some similar lying around you might not have to dish out money right away
Does the mic work when you plug the headphones in?
Is there any way to create my own Avatar with a Mac?
@everyone
I have no clue ;-; I just got started with vr chat last week
@jolly thorn it is possible.
@jolly thorn depends on what your gonna do though to. If your uploading or creating from scratch.
Well I was thinking of creating from scratch if I could but uploading works as well. I am using a Vrchat for Oculus Quest not the pc version
@uneven pewter
You can try using Vroid.
If your doing like a avatar based human.
/anime.
If your doing something for fun, then I am not quite sure at the moment ^^;;
Could you maybe dm me and kinda walk me through this I’m very new to this stuff
@uneven pewter
Comment if you have an #OculusQuest and are a frequent user of VRChat. Might need Quest owners to test something really cool soon. NDA will be required.
hmmmmm
Protesters burned down a church
If I plug in a link cable can I play on pc worlds?
yes
If I plug in a link cable can I play on pc worlds?
@haughty coyote if your pc can run a VR headset, yes.
hello
hi
What was the reson for quest to not support cutout or transparency shaders for avatars?
hey, how come it gives me the "sent home because lack of space" after i cleared my download and content cache?
nvmd, i think it works now
nope, it broke again. please help
If I plug in a link cable can I play on pc worlds?
@haughty coyote you don’t even need a link cable. The charge cable also works fine, if your PC had the type of USB port, anyway.
So my Oculus Quest just froze on me. Again.
The game itself was still running, so it's definitely the headset acting funny
Is this a common occurrence?
Link mode?
Link mode, yes. It's always been tagged as 'Beta' so I get the feeling it isn't stable, but still...
Yeah honestly virtual desktop while slightly latency seems far more stable
Haaaaah I tried ALVR but my quality was HORRIBLE
I get the feeling that's more on my internet than anythign else.
I have a feeling I'd get the same result on Virtual Desktop so not even gonna shell out bucks for it
I never tried ALVR. But virtual desktop is great
I just dunno why the Oculus Quest struggles with VRChat at times
LOTS of stuttering in some rooms, and as shown earlier instances where the headset just gives up and freezes
Run VRChat in VRLow. I can’t see any real visual differences except mirrors stop killing you
Where's the settings for that?
Hold shift while booting VRChat. Opens the standard unity graphics and bindings menu
No way to set that on default?
It saves.
I'll try that and see if Void Club still causes major lag spikes
It made a world of difference on gtx 970
You are below cutoff yeah you need VRLow for sure. 970 is Oculus’s required minimum settings so it’s surprising it let you install
Well I installed it on Steam...
You still need oculus home
Considering how much data those maps and anime tiddies hog up, it's best to save that data on the main hard drive instead of the Oculus's onboard storage
I know it refuses to install for 1050 so you just made it
I looked up how to link steam and oculus on google
I think there might be some confusion installing VRChat on oculus home still installs it on your pc. It installs the version for rift. I would not recommend using the steam version on oculus link it’s even more laggy
Well I do have a laundry list of other gripes like how everyone's running around with custom avatars and no one's talking about how to do it because it's seemingly common knowledge. I'd love to design my own avatar but I quite frankly don't know where to start
It's probably way quicker to yoink other player's avatars for use, but still...
Tupper got a lot of tutorials. And yes “how do I make custom avatar” is a old meme so people tend to giggle
I can't believe a widespread question is memed
Kinda gets in the way of legitimate asks doesn't it?
When said in a thick Russian accent
Personally I find a child's voice coming out of a skimpy avatar to be somewhat more noticeable
Oh that reminds me, someone noted that my oculus microphone is coming in 'super echo-ey'
Yeah other games have addressed that but VRChat hasn’t. For now you’ll need earbuds or headphones
There’s a canny if you wanna vote it up
Well taht blows, it's hard to wear a headset and the oculus simultaneously
It’s exclusive to oculus link
A canny?
Happens in all games, it’s oculus fault but some games address it and fix it
It’s not present on native quest games
Only link
Getting that ol' Buyer's Remourse lol
Should've put some effort into tracking down a Vive methinks
Quest is a great headset I just recommend playing VRChat on VRLow on oculus link using oculus home. Don’t even have steam running; the extra layer of abstraction is eating your already super underpowered gpu
Gtx 970 is the minimum for link
I've been logging in via steam ^_^||
Then you’ll need to upgrade it. Steam accounts can’t upload avatars anyway
They are sort of guest accounts
There are three types of accounts, Oculus, Steam, and VRChat, which can freely move between any platform
Add that to the major laundry list of things to do in VRChat. Somewhere below 'install Blender' and 'learn how to draw anime'
But yeah the vrcSDK in unity uplaods avatars to VRChat accounts. You need one. There is no way to log into the SDK with a steam account
As for learning blender and unity it’s all about finding the right tutor or curriculum. Once you know it, you know it forever
Honestly you'd think VRChat would have something more user friendly with avatar creation. Gmod does it was quicker
I think you would be surprised how easy it is
Mmm.... learning how to create an avatar from scratch just looks intimidating. Like you got the guy making a basis from a really well-drawn anime art, so gotta learn how to draw, then I gotta learn how to use Blender to sculpt said avatar, then I gotta stuff the model into Unity and make it move the way i want...
I can stretch up a cube man in unity and hit upload in 2 minutes
If I can hit a button and pull a model from any game i want I'd be a bit less vexed
But (for very good reason) most games tend to be rather tight-gripped on the model files
Well you are working with an actual game engine here so the creative freedom will far exceed anything else you’ve used
can someone please help me?
I have no artistic skill. I learned blender and unity from knowing nothing in about the span of 5 months @turbid jolt
3D modding and animating is tech skill, not artistic skill. An eye for aesthetics can certainly help. But it’s not actually required like it is for 2D art
Though even some 2D artists just brute force every line with 20 undos until they get it
I mean I learned how to Java and use Excel macros in the span of a few weeks or so just from countless google searches.... is it any different?
No. You are made for this
Just make sure to use current blender don’t listen to people saying to use some outdated version
Yo can anybody create a Spinel avatar for me? I’m willing to pay
Getting my Quest today
Nice
Ye
yis yis yis
excitement
@haughty coyote are you one of the people who wanted to meet me in vr when i try it the first time?
I kinda forgot who wanted to meet up
Nuh not me, too shy and don't speak cx
I think Adam was one of them
Ah ok
Yea ive been talking with adam
But yea I've got 3 to 11 hours till i get my Quest
Not sure what time its getting delivered
hopefully it's soooooooon
Yee
It'll suck if i have to wait all day
do you guys know if there us any difference between a Quest pretending it's a rift and an actual rift, as far as VRChat goes?
Who recommends oculus quest or rift s have the money
You mean which one to get?
Yeh
It depends on what you want it for, if it's just going to be for VRChat I'd say the rift s
I am an action person
But the Quest is a fantastic entry level headset, and the fact that you don't need a tether or a setup means it's basically the Nintendo Switch of the VR scene
Cheers
not as powerful but exponentially more versatile than anything comparable
If you're an action guy though, a lot of the good action games like Alyx and Boneworks still haven't been ported to Quest, and probably won't
you can still play them on Quest through Oculus Link, but anything that isn't on the oculus store requires some workarounds, and some games don't work at all
It’s my second headset and later will upgrade to valve index
if not at all, then potentially not as well as on their supported headsets
what was your first?
PlayStation vr I do not recommend it
that was my first as well, and I wholeheartedly agree
worst headset by far, as far as the "real" ones go
People tell me that rift a is terrible and it constantly crashes
I wouldn't know about that, all I have is a quest
Okay I’m gonna get that
I've had some issues with it, but they're mainly through Link, and Link is still in beta
How old are you?
not answering that question, but why do you ask
I have no people with quest and went on here who want to meet in VRChat because all my friends think I’m weird that I like vr
no need to look on discord, just start talking with people in hangout servers and you'll find some people you like, I'm sure of it
Okay thanks for the advice
no problem
Lul
You guys heard of joshdub?
Oculus Link plays Steam games with no work around whatsoever. @nimble plover
SteamVR has had native support for quest using link for a while. They even have models for it
@obsidian zealot really? It wasn't obvious to me, I looked up how to do it and it said you needed some third-party programs or something. Do you just start them in VR mode and view your virtual desktop from the quest?
You don't. You just launch oculus link, then open the oculus dash for your desktop, launch SteamVR, and SteamVR appears around you. Then you launch steam games.
The guides were probably from before Oculus Link was a thing
of course if the game is available on oculus home, use that version instead, avoids the extra layer of interperation
for Avatar 3.0 beta, it can't be helped, steam version is required if you use Quest
Wow, thanks for the info!
hey guys ! i'm learning english then i wanted to talk with someone to practice and having fun ! if someone wants to play and talk to me plz send me a message it. I aprecciated it !
@haughty coyote has your quest come yet
is it coming today
its meant to but there still hasnt been a update on the shipping since 10pm yesterday
oh so if it dont come in 3 hours then you have to wait till tomz
yea
has it come yet
hasn't
damn
i dont think its coming today
yeh true
If u r annoyed that the controllers always slip out of ur hands i recommend these knuckle straps. They r pretty good and gives u a better experience especially in games like beat saber even in vr chat, they r cheap too https://amzn.to/3gY3i2E
My quest comes in today by 9pm :3
what?
I'm curious if I buy the Antilatency full body for the quest can I use that in VRchat with standalone Quest or no?
please ping if you have answer
I believe you need a vr ready pc for any type of full body
Quest Compatible world recommendations please and thanks?
"Nier Automata flowers" or something along the lines of that is really good

Does anyone play dnd in vr chat
There are a few worlds that are tailored specifically for running D&D games, the most robust and well-made I've seen is Yeet20
I don't know how common it is, but given there are multiple worlds made just for it and the fact that one of the pictures on the storepage is of people playing D&D, it isn't too rare
@haughty coyote has your quest come yet
@ancient socket no
for some reason it got sent from sydney to melborne which is further away
it says it should come today but thats a lie
yeh
Does anybody have a docter avatar or plague doctor that's not scp 049
Is there a quest shader that has Doublesided option or cull?
no. duplicate manually in blender the mesh part
@ancient socket i wont be getting my quest till next week i think
yea its depressing
Double sided shaders are more laggy than just doubling and flipping the tris you need doubled.
Since they double everything
Hi friends, I just discovered this fantastic vr experience but wish to know how one goes about finding rooms / lounges for adults? Would be nice to find rooms where you dont have 13 year olds screaming in their mics for attention.
Hello, I just started play VR chat a couple of days ago and I was wondering if anyone knew where to go to get the Ichigo skin, I've seen some people using it but I could never figure what world it is in, also if you happen to know where other Bleach skins are I'd love to know where they are also
@ancient socket im getting my quest today
Pogchamp
Hi guys, how playable is vrchat with virtual desktop?
@ancient socket im getting my quest today
@PeachieCherri#6089 YAYYYYY
Anyone wanna hang out with Ronald Macdonald
Anyone wanna play vr chat
@haughty coyote has your quest come
Is it normal for VRChat to run regularly at around 18 fps and constantly distort the screen?
no
normal one?
I mean I'm using a Quest to play the Rift version through Oculus Link
no use the one on the quest store
I am
you said your playing through link
yes
I'd rather see more than a handful of avatars and worlds
maybe try see if your quest needs an update
plus, it would suck to have to stop and recharge in the middle of a convo
I did today, it doesn't
or you could play in charge
sure but at that point why not just use the superior version
I suck with hardware and specs, but I'm told they should be more than alright
what do you want to know
I have no issues with any other game
have you tried restarting steam
Only problem I ever have is sometimes Nvidia is preferred for the really cinematic stuff
I don't use the Steam version (although I have even worse problems with SteamVR)
yeh nvidia is definitely better for vr
What would be the equivalent nvidia gpu
no its not that
if there even is one, because again I suck with hardware
you need something more powerful
oh, I thought nvidia was just better optimized for vr in general
let me check
look it up on amazon
I could save up for it, sure, but there's no way I can get that right now unless I can sell my other gpu for a good amount
I'm in the southwest
USA
Generally the 1660 Super is recommended over the normal GTX 1660 as it doesn't cost that much more but has performance similar to that of a 1660 Ti.
Well it's just a factory overclock which isn't much, btw I have that exact 1660 that Indigo linked.
the super doesn't look as readily available
the one you got is good
what even is overclocking, and would it help with my problems
I can overclock my gpu
never done it though
no
It's only a slight OC which isn't much in performance over stock and the ability to OC it further.
oh, so overclocking is an analogue thing
there are many tutorials on the internet
I thought it just cranked up performance to the max
Depends on how far you take it but the further you take it the less likely the overclock will be stable.
no
it is certainly your gpu
ok
yeah an RX 560 is pretty bad for VR
I won't have to rip apart my PC and adjust a billion settings if I want to switch to nvidia, do I
nope
cool, I'll talk to my hardware guy about it then
Well, you don't have to switch to Nvidia for VR. It's just that specific AMD card isn't good.
unplug the gpu, take it out, put new gpu in and plug new gpu in
I've wanted to switch to nvidia for a while anyways, for a number of reasons
more games support nvidia specifically
they have all the best minecraft shaders, too
thats all the steps to changing a gpu
cool, thanks
you definitely did, I was on the verge of selling my quest because I thought the link was the problem
would've been bad
oh lucky you asked us
yeh i might get one
but the option for tethered makes it so much better than it would otherwise be
and i got a really good pc already
I highly recommend it, it's the Nintendo Switch of the VR scene
not the best specs but they're more than serviceable and it works anywhere
yeh most people say that
I might get the "Quest 2" later down the line but mine works very well
is there going to be a quest 2?
absolutely
i might just get that one then
leaks and rumours aside, the quest is exceptionally popular
yeh ik
it would be stupid to not make a successor
and fnaf vr came out which is another reason i want it
my little brother got up at like 7 to get fnaf vr
hahahah
isn't help wanted a vr recreation of all the other games or something
yeh
that's bonkers
and it adds to the story
ah, the story
yeh
after the 18th game theory video or so I gave up
i watched the hell out of theory videos
I love theorycrafting in games, sucks when the devs clearly didn't think anything through though
Scott Cawthon covered most of his bases but like, Megaman dude
it's all over the place
word of advice though, iirc most games you'll need to buy both the pc and quest version
there's some play anywhere function like Xbox has, but it's only for a few games
so like for fnaf vr you'll probably want the rift version anyways
the quest version's graphics are a little butchered by comparison
yeh true
i might actually get both
incase i go away on holiday and i want to play some fnaf vr
nonono don't get both unless you're swimming in cash
the whole point of the quest is that you can turn it into essentially a rift with oculus link
but i am swimming in cash
it has slightly worse resolution, and the framerate is capped a little lower, but other than that it's exactly the same
Quick question: How do I stop audio coming out of my Quest headset? I'm using a pair of headphones alongside it for better VC but the sound coming out of it is giving it an echo
The link
alright, are the headphones plugged into the headset or the pc?
The PC
they should be plugged into the pc
There's sound coming out of BOTH the headphones and the headset and it's weird
ok, make sure the quest isn't selected as an audio device in vrchat OR your pc
it can become the default sometimes for some reason
be sure to select only your own headphones anywhere it asks for an input and output
it might show up as "oculus audio device" or something like that
Ah, found it. It's not in VRChat settings, but the oculus link settings itself
great man, have fun
@ancient socket yes i got my quest i played it all afternoon lul
lmaaooooo is it worth it
Well idk
Its my first vr headset so lul
But yea im on day 1 of vr XD
But yea i played from 1
1:30am to 1am XD
I took a few breaks in between of course
i recieved my quest today
and it's already on hes way back to oculus
bad vr headset.
Not worth the money
What was wrong with it?
guys what happened to vr chat on steam
uhh
@sterile rose whyyy ???
What?
why isn't it worth it ?
I got the rift s also
And compared to it , its shit
Bad comfort , low hz
Bad sound
but with the oculus link it's almost the same
Nah even with that its not good
you can have your own earphones tho
The comfort is just really bad
well I see but there is no cables actually
but u can buy VR cover tho
Vr cover isnt make the screen better xd
But like i said , if u cant afford a gaming pc , and want vr , its ok i guess? But in my opinion its horrible
and i heard that the screen door is more apparent on the rift S than the quest
Its not the screen door but it gets really blurry if u move your head
That makes it bad
O
ok I see
but at the moment there is way more software updates on the quest than the rift S right ?
Also, I have a question, if I want to use ALVR to play VRChat, do I have to install VRChat on my quest and if I play VRChat on my quest will I still be able to play it with ALVR/PC ?
they acc stopped updating the rift s
yeah right
Hi guys is there a way to make it so I move with the right joystick?
No
Lul
Anyone have an suggestions where i could get a link cable for the quest?
I cant use the charging cable that came with the quest to link due to my pc not taking Type c
And none of my other cables are good enough
they officially recommend anker cables
I do too, I use one and it works well
Problem is, since the cable is on the side you want it to be fairly light
I unfortunately didn't think of that and got a heavy 10 ft cable
but here you go
Imagine being a pc player in the quest gereral
?
@nimble plover thank you but how long of a cable should i get?
Imagine being a pc player in the quest gereral
@haughty coyote well the only game i think i could play with my pc is vr chat on low settings
In vr
I use link as well, through my quest
no shame
10 foot is good, 3 foot is ok if the place you plug it in is really close but there's little reason to get something lower than like 8 ft
just seriously, don't mess up like I did and get a heavy cable (the one I linked) because it's really annoying to be weighed down on one side
you can get used to it, or you can just get a lighter cable
lighter cable always helps
can the oculus quest do full body tracking?
can''t exactly get a straight answer through google so...
yes it can
but you will need other sensors set up aroound
i will send a video of how to do it
Here is a full guide from START TO FINISH on how to get full body tracking working on your Oculus Quest or Oculus Rift or Rift S.
Here are links for everything you need including software:
OPEN VR ADVANCED SETTINGS:
https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-Advance...
this should help you
so I have a question, if I want to use ALVR to play VRChat, do I have to install VRChat on my quest and if I play VRChat on my quest will I still be able to play it with ALVR/PC ?
@twin falcon If you use ALVR you play the PC version. no installing VRChat on quest needed. Though I personally recommend Virtual Desktop instead of ALVR, I found it much smoother
@haughty coyote The official charging cable is also USB-C. I also don't recommend getting a USB-A to USB-C cable to use as a link cable, even if it's 3.0, USB-A won't charge the quest. Converters won't either. Might want to look into a USB card that has a 3.0 USB-C port. They aren't very expensive. Though GPU's with USB-C slots are known to be ideal for link
That's true. If ALVR works for you I suppose you're good to go. I found it a little laggy
ok i see thk ! 🙂
I would get the official link cable if it wasnt $130 Aud
@obsidian zealot what is a usb card?
typically a PCI-E slot card that merely adds a ton of USB ports.
if your motherboard has a spare pci-e slot you can add the ports
I have a laptop not a pc sadly
Btw a usb a cord with the type c plug can charge the quest
@obsidian zealot
But my current cords that i had laying around are only usb 2.0 so they do not work as a link
Ill just buy one on ebay for like $96
I would not count on a USB-C to USB-A cable keeping the quest charged while playing link. I doubt it can charge faster than it gets used... which is very unhealthy for the internal battery
Well i cant use Usb C to Usb C
Also many USB-A ports are data only and will not charge your quest, even if cable can power
So just be careful
My ports are both
Good luck!
USB-A to USB-C is actually against USB spec, so there's no real regulation
?
Well honestly it should be Hdmi to Usb C
But yea its only Usb C and Usb A compatible
Anyways if it doesn't work i can send the cable back and get a refund
HDMI to USB C? 
That's not really how quest works
does anyone have cartoon cat horror?
I use a $2 usb a to c cable for my quest link and it works fine
Was using a $20 anker cable before they updated it to work with any cable
The anker cable is thick and annoying
Also got a 90 degree adapter thing so the cable is angled towards the back of the headset instead of poking straight out the side
And it keeps the quest charged indefinitely? Lucky, if so.
No, but lasts long enough
You really want to avoid the quest fighting a losing battle trying to charge. It is not good for the long-term longevity of the quest's internal battery.
Using a device while it's charging is fine when it's still able to charge at full speed
otherwise you'll overheat it
Is it meant to keep up while playing games while charging?
I haven't tried playing a game while charging other than while linked to pc
Yes, usb-C will fully charge a quest while playing on pc. Then it will stop charging and just act like it’s got ac power.
Ah ok, makes sense
Usb-A to usb-C cables either won’t charge the quest at all, or charge slowly. 2.0 or 3.0 makes no difference in that regard
Some are also wired poorly and only charge when the usb-C end is flipped around a certain way
Those cables exist out of demand but they are not obeying the usb standard, so they aren’t consistently made from one manufacturer to another
Ok, I'll look into getting usb c then, i just recently got into vrchat which is where most of my link usage goes to
Haven't used it much otherwise
Thanks for the info!
hello! i just got my vr yesterday, how do you switch the walking controls?
Anyone else has major stutter and voice cracking?
Game is completely unplayable even though last time i played (couple of months ago) everything worked fine.
It was tested today on 2 devices and one of them is brand new with vrchat being the only game installed.
Anyone has any tips/suggestions?
HDMI to USB C? :PikaThink:
That's not really how quest works
@haughty coyote yes i know
hello! i just got my vr yesterday, how do you switch the walking controls?
@twin helm its in the comfort settings
Lul even after an 8 hour sleep my face still hurts from wearing the quest too much
Yeah it's very front-heavy u~u do you have a counterweight?
Nope
I plan to buy a power bank when i get paid again tho
ahh good, that should help with comfort
But yea i wont be getting it for like 3 weeks tho
Ill be buying it from ebay so i have to wait for it to ship
ah okay okay
Hopefully it doesn't go through FedEx =w=
Haha yea
I think fedex is only for large items
hmmm yeah possibly, I know USPS is usually the one that's used
USPS?
yeah here in America usps it's what's used, probably something different there
Yea its diffrent
The ones i know of that are here is Fedex Tnt express, Startrack and then the general mail post
I get some stuff from online shopping that just gets put in the mail box like it was mail XD
Sometimes they come to the door if its an expensive item or if it cant fit in the mail box
I've only heard of FedEx out of all of those lol
Yea cuz fedex is over seas
But we have it too
Btw its kinda weird playing vr
I sometimes forget to blink lul so i wonder why my eyes hurt then im like oh
XD
Adam owo
👋🏾
Hiiiiiiiii Adam c:
Btw the batteries that came with headset for the controllers die so quick
I noticed while playing beatsaber that its like the controllers dont get tracked properly while the batteries are at like 40%
Yeah the original batteries suck u.u def get rechargable ones, specifically enloop or however you spell it
Yea i think i got those im just gonna use up the ones that came with it tho
I changed the batteries just so i could continue playing beatsaber lul then i changed them back after i was done
Lol my arms are sore from playing beatsaber for hours yesterday
Oh btw do you guys like not feel hungry or thirsty while playing vr?
It happed to me pretty much all day yesterday
Well I usually eat before I do vr so I dunno
Ah i ate before i played Racoon Lagoon and oof wasn't a good idea cuz i got motion sick
My body was telling me to vomit so yea i stopped playing
Ack xc I wait about 30 minutes to an hour before I play
Sometimes I reeeeally don't feel like doing vr cuz lazy, but once I start doing it I don't wanna stop
Hiiiiiiiii Adam c:
@haughty coyote Hiiiiii!! Lol
Haiiii :D how are youuuuu
How is it that the quest port is more laggy than a few months ago
I only play in mute chat which is the most stripped down world and I still get 10 fps
Maximum safety settings
Come on guys don’t forget about the quest users we matter too
it lags a lot for me if there's a whole bunch of people all in one area
hello everyone
Hi!
waddup
Not muuuuuch, just laying here
you have a quest?
I dooooooo
I'd def get one
It's great if you don't have a good pc for vr, plus fully portable with no wires
yeh i needa get scholarship first lmao
i might get 128 for the extra storage for movies n that
Ah I gotcha, the 64gb works pretty well though
yeh but i dont wanna yk take the chance of running out
a 2 hour, 1080p movie is roughly 48 gb
knowing this, we can average out the amount of movies you can cram into both versions
You'll fit 2-4 movies in the 64gb version, or double that with the 128gb version
unless I'm doing the math wrong, since I suck at math
in any case, I don't know why you would want to install more than one or two movies at a time anyways, but if you include games you might not fit any movies without lowering the quality on the 64gb version
It's pretty hard to run into storage issues on the 128gb
huh... I wonder where you heard 1080P movies were about 48 GB each maybe if they weren't compressed much then sure. Usually they're more like 1 - 4 GB each, at least the compressed version of it we consumers would watch on say our computers, phones, etc.
Any tips on stutter on Quest?
Don’t show avatars that are hidden by default
Hide avatars that are above medium by default
Don’t go to worlds with greater than +10 max player count
Or use a pc with quest link
fart
Yeah movies don’t take up 40 gbs
I’m so happy because on VRChat stuff wouldn’t unfavourite if it was a skin but today anything I unfavourited disappeared
Don’t show avatars that are hidden by default
@obsidian zealot
Tried all you recommended, including reinstalling the app. Fps doesnt go above 30-40 when there are literally more than 3 players in a room.
Putting safety on max also changed nothing in terms of fps. Just replaced the avatars with the default gray ones.
Try a more optimized world? All quests are the exact same specs. If only you are lagging it might be your avatar? Not being snippy I'm just serious there's only so many varables
That said Standalone Quest VRChat is on the laggy side in general
That just comes with the territory. It's surprising it runs at all
Running smoothly might be out of scope
Anyone want to play?
Y’all know anything about quest compatible warhammer 40k avatars?there is a suprising pack of them.
No, but I know where to find them
Hi
I have no batteries and my controllers are dead
@grave flicker you should buy some rechargeable batteries you can get a 4 pack online for cheap
^^
Yeah I want to

@obsidian zealot this does not help for even a second
e

my friend got a quest recently and when she goes on vrhcta her games flickers black then back to normal constantly, does anyone know how to solve this we have tried everything
@haughty coyote is the entire screen going black? or is she seeing large black squares flickering near the center of where she is looking?
I have the seen the issue with the black squares. I don't know what causes it, but shutting down the and powering off the quest for a few minutes then powering it back on fixes it. At first I suspected that maybe the quest was just getting too hot, but I'm not 100% certain.
You just have to click the button on your vrheadzet (right side) just one quick click and click it again
And it will take away the black squares
@haughty coyote
Hey yall, i just got a quest. Any general advice for a beginner?
Idk, play the game?
Hey yall, i just got a quest. Any general advice for a beginner?
@tribal finch recommend turning off comfort settings in vr chat and maybe when you are playing turn your own body instead of using the controller
It should make you feel less sick, im new to vr and thats what seems to work for me
Also when you buy games make sure to check the comfort rating as games that don't have a good comfort rating will probably give you motion sickness
As a quick q as a person interested in the Quest, could you bypass the PC restriction if you use the link feature?
Using the link feature makes the Quest work as a normal pc vr headset like Rift S
Wish quest was able to show the videos 😦
If you have a PC you can chromecast to it and capture with OBS.
works great, still wireless
if you just want to show people in the room, you don't even need a computer, any TV that can receive a chromecast can receive the quest's video feed wirelessly
It has to be a second or higher generation chrome cast tho
First gen chromecast doesnt work
I just found free software that lets windows receive it
Sidequest can also do it if you plug it in to obtain your quest’s ip then it can stream wireless
I just found free software that lets windows receive it
@obsidian zealot whats the name
AirServer
free if you don't care about the watermark
the one built into sidequest is also nice and has no watermark, but can't establish a connection unless it's wired, then it can go wireless
The library is limited, but you can get lots of stuff through sidequest
Aww watermark :(
I know how to fix vrc quest
Remove all the textures and make everyone a bot and the max amount of players in a server is 2
Should fix up the lag
The library is limited, but you can get lots of stuff through sidequest
@tranquil shard also you can use oculus link
But his pc sucks
yeh true
why is the unity standard shader supported for vrchat but the sdk says it's not?
Not on quest avatars
weird, cus quest renders it no problem
i was just confused because without standard you can't make any transparent materials
That's kind of why
There's also reflections on Unity standard which I don't imagine would be good for quest
i don't see a drastic change in fps when i got into my world using it
Your world with maybe a few people in it isn't accurate for all worlds or worlds with a lot of people in them.
there is a leak about the oculus quest 2 only a leak
I hope they make a better headstrap
and less weight?
They said its gonna be 20% lighter
That's good
But personally i think it's not worth it if you own a quest 1. In 4-5 years there gonna be much better headsets.
the leak said this year or beginning next year
I think if you dont own a quest then wait for 2
might be coming before christmas
Good morning
Good morning
Hi, I need help, I can't talk in vrchat on my PC anymore and I can't hear others, I don't see that I'm talking ... but yesterday I was working, I really need help
make sure your volume is turned on in the settings?
yeah
is on
I started it but I don't hear anyone and I've been playing it on steam for a long time and for 2 weeks I started working on it and I didn't have any problems with it, I actually don't hear anything but the background sounds and I have everything related to
he can get mute if he use innapropriate lanague?
You have to be a complete bother of a human being in order to become permanent mute.
how to reamove permanent mute? :CCC
Egg
@twilit rivet it’s probably an error with your mic try messing with your mic settings
Honestly doubting you have permanent mute, but IF you did just playing the game and making friends is how you rank up preventing permanent mute. The problem is once you hit that low of a rank I doubt it's really possible to come back from that.
Or it’s his mic
That's what I was saying, I doubt it is his rank.
Check in VRChat settings, including safety settings.
Make sure you didn't mute everyone. lol
how can you show me?
Hi, i have a problem with my left stick, it marked "controller not found"
And i don’t know why
Why cant quest on vrchat use shaders???
That is so annoying also how come the special effects from cirtain avatars, they used to work and now they dont its really irritating
i have permanent mute on vrchat :CCC
How did u even?
I said offensive things in my language.
and he would like to apologize to me
for what I did
the answer to why that's the case on the quest is because you're basically running it on a Android phone and
mobile Hardware isn't terribly great at complicated shaders at this point
at the framerate targets to not make people puke
@mystic aurora lightmapped is only meant to be used with worlds as it is a shader meant for baked lights and should not be used on dynamic objects
it is a meme
lightmapped is for map lightmap
That strap looks terrible
I have run into a very scary problem in vrchat through link
these bars of lower resolution, almost like lines of static on a tv, show up now when I'm playing
only on my headset display as well, the effect doesn't appear at all on my monitor
is this a problem with the cable, or something far worse
I fear for my quest
Are there major differences between VRChat on the Rift and the Quest? A whole server category for the Quest seems telling
The Quest version is in an earlier, less sophisticated testing state so to speak
VRChat only released on the quest a little bit ago, and due to the weaker hardware not all worlds and avatars are cross-compatible, regardless of it's stability
Uh-huh
These channels exist to better the Quest version, show off Quest-compatible content, and discuss how to optimize for the Quest
Got’cha
Though it isn't as stable or packed with content, there's still plenty to do in the Quest version, and wireless VRChat is really nice, though as of now even with the restrictions there are some framerate issues last I checked
It is of course cross-platform and totally compatible with the other versions, but you can't join worlds not optimized for Quest, and you can't see Avatars that aren't optimized for Quest (they appear as robots)
Shucks
If I equip an avatar that I can’t see, others on the Rift will still see it though?
I don't believe you can equip an avatar you can't see
Unless they've changed things
but in theory, I think it could be done, though that isn't supported at the moment
I can equip avatars I can’t see. It defaults to the robot with the preview on its chest
I can equip avatars I can’t see. It defaults to the robot with the preview on its chest
@last crag what? When ever i try to equipt an avatar i cant see vrchat says i cant
Huh. I don’t know what the difference could be
So I counted I only had 14 avatars but it said I had all 16 slots. I also can’t delete or save any avatars.
.
You can’t unfavorite?
No
Depends on what kind of robot. Most people don’t know or don’t bother uploading quest versions of avatars, so you can’t see them. Others that do upload one are very laggy so they show as a different kind of robot.
Hey, I got a question for anyone who has connected their Oculus Quest to SteamVR through Virtual Desktop and also used an Xbox Kinect for full body tracking. I'm having issues where the PC now recognizes the Kinect as the microphone and won't pick up sound through the Quest anymore.
I’ve done all of the above but with vive pucks. Either way you want #full-body-tracking this is more for the native quest client
The full body tracking isn't the issue.
And I just want anyone who has experience with the thing.
But I'll ask where ever I need to.
have any of you tried playing VRChat with your Quest connected to a PC?
@west marlin I do this, you need to go to settings on steam and set your microphone to headset mic, and within vrchat you can set it in your menu to headset mic. Your pc may be auto switching to the newest mic in your default windows settings.
Do quest avatars with a drawing hand built in exist
are there any plans to optimise this game better for quest? it runs constantly on about 50fps
@obsidian zealotIt is a robot with an pic on there chest
There is a pic if it doesn't have a quest version. If there is a quest version but it's too complex it just says Pref Blocked on chest
is VRChat normally stuttery when you use Oculus Link?
ok thx
