@delicate charm Sure wazzup?

Well long story short it'll make your Quest run as an online monitor from your PC
haughty coyote
Youtube can give you a more in depth explanation of what I've just said haha

oh ok

I use virtual Desktop to hangout with friends

Am I he only one that can't boot up VRC? Trying to figure out if it's just my connection or an update problem :(

hello
anyone knows if i use oculus link with oculus quest 2, does matter if this has 64gb/128gb storage?? ty
haughty coyote
The storage capacity doesn't affect the performance. Both versions have the same hardware
placid perch
yep, i mean when you use with oculus link, i think u use your pc hardware instead quest hardware and dont matter about storage, anyways ty for answer!
full stratus
I am thinking about switching to the Quest 2, but I don't want to get it if its going to have the same level of compatibility as the original Quest. Is it going to be fully compatible or will we be limited to what we can access like the original?
shell canyon
@full stratus Limited because Quest content will still need to be uploaded under the Android build. VRChat will just run better on the Quest 2

to use oculus quest 2 with oculus link is better directly use oculus rift s for pc?

Just wondering, is it just me that has to login every time when launching VRChat, or is it the default behavior? It gets pretty annoying over time, specially if you have a strong password or if you change it 😅

hello
i tried to play vrchat on my quest but its so laggy
is that normal? its like really low fps
blazing sparrow
@cobalt sierra Some tips to increase frame-rate on Quest:
- Make sure the avatar you are using is optimised.
- Don't show un-optimised avatars.
- Don't enter large or highly populated worlds (10 players max if possible).
If you're on your own in the default home, definitely check number 1.

Would vrchat work the same
@cobalt sierra yes
I play VRChat via Virtual Desktop too

I can’t go in vrchat on oculus quest 2 for some reason. It keeps stuttering and lagging.
Anyone knows why or how I can fix it.

blissful robin
i just got a quest 2, vrchat works fine for me
both standalone and pc
Does someone know if they're gonna enable that hand tracking?
haughty coyote
It's a possibility
rotund ridge
OH so it does work. @haughty coyote do you have 90 hz enables
that might be the problem
haughty coyote
but now im curious lol
rotund ridge
Lucas vrchat kept crashing when he/they launched the game
haughty coyote
Oh
rotund ridge
so im asking them if it's the 90hz mode
but hand tracking would be cool on vrchat quest
quasi needle
@rotund ridge idk if hand tracking is enabled in vrchat rn.
I know hand tracking now works at least in main menu in quest.
I wanna make a some tests with quest 2 owners in vr chat someone can help me in this matter?
Only for my curiosity.
steep crescent
Hand Tracking doesn't work in VRChat
It asks you to switch to controller if you start the game
blissful robin
@quasi needle it isnt right now
quasi needle
?
blissful robin
handtracking
oblique sonnet
so your hands don't move? or is there a new type of hand tracking thing?
cause I pre-ordered the quest 2 mostly for vrchat use

on first quest there also (after some time) enable the hand tracking look thrill i think.

on original quest? doubt it.

Whats better about virtual desktop vrchat then on the quest 2 normal?
haughty coyote
@rotund ridge
It’s working now
supple fjord
Wym
haughty coyote
I don’t know why it didn’t work earlier today
blissful robin
Virtual desktop only gives you the ability to stream wirelessly from pc to quest. Quest 2 on it's own is very limited, however with a link cable it's the same as any other PC headset.
Yeah I got one already too.
supple fjord
Yea ik that and can you show me with out the link??
Ahh
Can people with just quest 2 use virtual desktop?
oblique lynx
im picking up my quest 2 today, would it be better to play vr chat using virtual desktop :O instead of on the quest itself
steep crescent
Yes
Otherwise you won't have access to PC only worlds and avatars which are the majority
oblique lynx
yeah yeah, i played on desktop most of the time and have some funny avatars i want to keep
do you think a link cable would work better than virtual desktop?? i dont have the best of wifi connections tbh but i dont really want to wait for shipping lol
steep crescent
Idk, never used link. Only VD.
oblique lynx
ooh mk i think i might just get VD and figure it out today
steep crescent
If you don't like the experience with VD you can just refund the App
oblique lynx
that's true, but i think i wont mind, ive never used a vr headset so a little ms of lag wont be the end of the world

Can’t wait to see more Quest 2 players in game. I want to hear how it compares.

to each there own, but i heard vr chat on it is almost as smooth as the pc but yeah still only quest avitars are visable . i would get a quest two if for nothing else as a back up quest
quasi needle
@void stone i would get the 2 quest if only I could change to pcvr avatar because I used to be one of the public avatars.
void stone
makes sense
but still just a mobile processer so i doubt even a quest 3 would be able to run fully like a pc

It doesn't run as well as PCVR in VRChat using the link it looks stunning tho

scarlet merlin
Yo I’m looking for a quest 2 bro like me
haughty coyote
will the Oculus quest 2 be able to use PC avatars in the future
jagged trench
unlikely as that is technologically impossible as the PC avatars are compiled for PC and the quest basically talks Android
wraith hawk
Will we get dynamic bones on quest 2 and I heard the new poly limit is like 750k now
jagged trench
neither of those are correct they haven't announced any limit upgrades
and honestly they're probably not likely to announce that as they would rather take the more stable performance
wise gale
750k lol
jagged trench
that's in the ballpark of the entire OverWatch match of characters for a single Avatar
540K would be the total for all the OverWatch characters and their weapons using this data list

how to fix the world to load
bold epoch
Ive noticed some quest avatars, that are over 10k. are those still able to be displayed on oculus quest?

I was also told that you can see pc avatars, by pressing the show avatar button when you select the person. I doubt thats real, but I would still like to know from someone whos actually had experience
normal finch
Yeah that’s what I’m curious about too cause there’s a lot of ‘yeah you can do this.’
bold epoch
Please ping me if any of the questions are answered
blazing sparrow
@bold epoch The first one is yes, you have to manually show the avatar though. As for the second one, no. Quest and PC avatars are built completely differently and aren't directly compatible with each other.
steep crescent
Ye, my main avatar on Quest has like 70k Polys lol

That’s what I thought 👀

its very anoying
steep crescent
Only if the creator makes a Quest version
grave rose
what up, im a new VR cha user, i only been on there for a day and i got my quest 2 yesterday
rose patio
Unpopular opinion: I don't think they will do a quest 2 optimized update. With the game being as opened as it is, it already benefits highly from the removal of foveated rendering and extra processing head room. I don't think there's a point to doing any updates.
hollow ivy
If there’s a update for Quest 2 will it break Quest Prime?
rose patio
Wouldn't think so
azure mantle
all I think will happen is them unlocking 90hz when thats released for quest 2, and thats about it
everything will most likely stay the same, there IS only 2 more gigs of ram, and the quest 1 needs to still be compatible with the same content. so you cant really update content limits. but I do think they could make quest 2 see poor avatars by default instead of having to set it yourself
but then it would incite people less to make =<7500 poly avatars and they would go =<10000 poly instead, raising the performance requirement status quo on quest 1
hence why it wont ever happen, its just quest 1 vrchat, but it doesnt crash
obsidian zealot
7500 is the most triangles you can have where Quest users will always see you no matter what
If they enable poor avatars they see up to 10000, and above that they have to manually unhide you
azure mantle
uhmm yes, thats what I said
obsidian zealot
Yeah chat updated after I said it. Discord is lovely

On the quest, can you use all the vrchat cameras for like pictures and stuff?
obsidian zealot
On the quest, can you use all the vrchat cameras for like pictures and stuff?
@bold epoch no, not sure why. I think the quest can only save images it currently sees?
bold epoch
Damn
obsidian zealot
Maybe it’s a security thing, so apps can’t screenshot your view without permission
bold epoch
Can I screenshot just what the headsets showing?
obsidian zealot
Yes using the quest feature itself, forget where in the system menu it is
obsidian zealot
It will get saved to your internal storage which is a bit annoying to get out
bold epoch
Damn.
obsidian zealot
Shame they didn’t put an SD card slot on the quest

@scarlet maple if it’s an offline game, yes. Obviously VRChat will never work without an internet connection
queen matrix
@steep crescent I see you meant the in game camera.
My bad.
haughty coyote
Just got the Quest 2. I tired playing VRChat without it being connected to the rig, it hated it, would it do the same if I did hook it up to the rig? I'd have to buy the cable extension.
Kinda regret buying this because it's basically facebook VR at this point
obsidian zealot
Just got the Quest 2. I tired playing VRChat without it being connected to the rig, it hated it, would it do the same if I did hook it up to the rig? I’d have to buy the cable extension.
@haughty coyote The quest version of vrchat and the PC version of vrchat are different, if you use a link cable and your pc runs the game instead of the quest, then you will be playing the PC version, the same version that index, vive, and rift play.
Yes, the built in quest version sucks. The Quest 2’s CPU can’t handle it
But don’t bother with the 80 dollar link cable. You can get the same cable for 16 bucks on amazon
haughty coyote
@obsidian zealot Excellent, got a cheap one, thanks.

How can you hook the quest 2 to a pc

But don’t bother with the 80 dollar link cable. You can get the same cable for 16 bucks on amazon
@obsidian zealot fk i wish i knew that i bought it
proven dagger
So u wouldnt need a display port or hdmi...?
obsidian zealot
Neither. USB-C
Or regular USB-A, but the battery will go dead
USB-C will keep it changed
scarlet maple
would be better if the cable had hdmi or displayport
obsidian zealot
USB-C can talk display port. digital is digital
scarlet maple
but it doesnt, it compresses the image
obsidian zealot
 uh.. I have bad news to tell you about DisplayPort
It’s just a display protocol it has nothing to do with the bandwidth or compression ratio of said video
The compression video crunching is purely due to hardware limitations. Not the connector choice
A traditional display port connector would make no difference. It would just take up more space
scarlet maple
i dont mean normal, i meant like the rift cable
obsidian zealot
I don’t think you understand that the connector type doesn’t really impact video compression whatsoever
USB-C already has sufficient bandwidth for uncompressed video
obsidian zealot
Go into oculus debug tools and up the pixel density for Link if you want . It can handle it
Yes that’s usb-C
obsidian zealot
You’ll need a 3.0 USB C to USB C cable that’s long enough to play comfortably
proven dagger
ok ok but the quest 2 comes with that right
obsidian zealot
And the laptop needs to be powerful enough to run the VR version of VRChat. Which is unlikely given it’s a laptop
proven dagger
so it should work either ways
obsidian zealot
No, the quest 2 does not come with that
proven dagger
so i have to buy it seperat
obsidian zealot
Yes it’s about $16 for a third-party one on Amazon or $80 from oculus if you want the official
haughty coyote
The joys of wireless headsets....
obsidian zealot
Or $20 if you want to install virtual desktop and play it wirelessly but you need a good router
obsidian zealot
Before you make any additional purchases I would be absolutely sure that your computer is powerful enough to run the PC version of VRChat or you’re going to have a bad time
obsidian zealot
All right in that case just grab the $16 one from Amazon or buy virtual desktop on the quest store for 20 bucks
proven dagger
it only got laggy with new maps but then it adjust and then its smooth
obsidian zealot
The cable is a bit better quality than doing it wirelessly 
proven dagger
ok

broken pebble
Quick question
How should I properly get some random smudges off? I've tried a cleaning cloth with no chemicals, but that did nothing despite being fresh from packaging.
gusty bolt
@normal finch
Pro comfort tips: wear a beanie under your headset. It stops the straps from tugging on your hair during long sessions and wicks sweat. If you have one, a heavy tape-measurer with a belt-clip works perfectly as a counterweight. Just hook it to the back strap. Get a microfibre cloth to clean your lenses and zip-tie it to your charging/link cable so that it’s always on hand. Invest in some re-chargeable AA batteries for your controllers. You’ll burn through the disposable ones way too quickly. You can drastically reduce light-leaking (under the nose) by swapping the lighting in your play space to blue/purple or red lights. The human eye doesn’t perceive these as very bright, but the cameras pick up on it perfectly fine. Hue bulbs are great, but personally, I just use my grow-lights (since I’m also a gardener).
gusty bolt
@broken pebble You could buy a lens-pen or (if you’re cheap) a moist Q-tip. I’d be really careful using cleaning products, or even water since calcium can leave deposits on your lenses.
@brittle tangle Maybe try the opposite? Set your height higher than your IRL height. Usually the real height setting is what causes this.
It could also be a problem with your play space set-up. Try resetting the floor. Just drop your controller onto it. It’s the most accurate method I’ve found so far.

Is there challenge channel that i can post?

Yes
Both sides are usb c cable, but if you are wanting to do desktop link you need to get a bigger cord.
knotty mist
obsidian zealot
So the quest 2 comes with a usb c cable
@proven dagger to charge the headset yes. You can’t use it for oculus link to connect to a pc, if that’s what you are thinking, it’s like 2 feet long, possibly shorter.
It’s also not usb 3

Why do shaders not work on the quest?
normal finch
@gusty bolt Thanks for the help, I’ll be sure to try some of these tips ^^
obsidian zealot
Why do shaders not work on the quest?
@late vigil you can use custom shader code for worlds. For avatars, they must use shaders in the vrchat/mobile category, and not the transparent one.
modest roost
Hey! I'm new to VRChat, but I'm hoping to find some friends to meet on the game 🙂
gusty bolt
@obsidian zealot You can use the matcap shader to BS a lot of different effects. It’s by far the most versatile, but has it’s limitations.
brittle tangle
@gusty bolt Okay so that didn't fix it

If the vrchat crew doesn’t release dynamic bones for quest 2 that’s ridiculous
jagged trench
they're probably not going to add that as the quest one need to be able to see the Quest 2 users
gusty bolt
Every time they add new platform specific code to the mix, it complicates their lives.
The Dev team should just focus on optimizing everything g for now. VRChat runs fine for Quest as it is. If you want to see everyone or use dynamic bones, get a link cable. The third party ones are only like 15$.
jagged trench
yeah and they probably want to use the extra power to make the frame rate more stable
obsidian zealot
I highly doubt we will see a third performance / build target just for Quest 2. It's bad enough building for 2 performances. People aren't going to bother building for 3.

always worth using the official cable, but I've also used the Anker Powerline+ with the PowerCore+ to charge my headset on the go.

I would absolutely not use a different charging unit on the quest 2. Usually official chargers are graded to trickle charge to conserve the battery for as long as possible

Hello! I am interested in collaborating with VRChat players who have successfully gotten PCVR and/or Oculus Link to work with their laptop, or just generally know a lot about optimizing the game to run smoothly.
With the advent of the Quest 2, I think there may be some people who are looking into PCVR for a better experience, but may not have the resources or desire for a dedicated gaming desktop. There's very little literature available on this topic - the most I've found is on reddit, which is most of the time inapplicable, with knowledge quite scattered at best. It was difficult for me to get VRChat running smoothly on my laptop, as I didn't really know too much about computers. I had to rely on the support of others who were more knowledgeable on PCVR, the majority of whom were desktop users rather than laptop, making much of the process trial and error.
If you play VRChat on PCVR using a laptop via Oculus Link or otherwise, let's collaborate to help others do the same!
hard yoke
It's playable, but I have a Q2 and never play the Quest version, only PC version. You can get a link cable off of Amazon for like 30USD, If you want dm me and i'll send you a link to what I have.

I also have the Quest 2 tethered to the laptop. I would love to hear about your setup!

I always had that issue on Q1 with the official link cable for some reason. Oddly enough a cheaper third party USB 2.0 one never had the issue
I think there’s something wrong with the mic when using 3.0 cables for whatever reason

meh i think i messed up, i let virtual desktop update but sidequest doesnt seem to have a patch for it yet

@storm frost I've run VRChat with success on nearly everything I could, even absolute potatoes. And for the past 10 years or so, I've been learning the ways of the optimization.
I've gathered a lot of tips on optimizing your PC, your GPU, CPU, RAM, VR, SteamVR, Oculus, WMR, VRChat and other things.
From disabling specific Windows services without losing system functionality to using third-party unofficial drivers for Intel HD. Some of my info comes from experimentation and some comes from cross-referencing a LOT of resources online like you've done. I've been planning to make a guide on the ultimate PC optimization for a long time, but have never gotten around to it.
I'll say, a lot of the optimization tricks have nearly insignificant gains, but when you add them up together, it's absolutely worth it.
My sister got a Quest 2 recently, and I get to use it as well, so I'll be doing tests with that as well for all the Quest userbase. So far, my belief is that, when it gets updated, ALVR will be the best option for playing VRChat on lower-end rigs. Because the Oculus compositor is very resource-hungry and you need to use it with VD and Link
I understand that not everyone has the ability to setup a good ALVR/VD connection due to their modem/router placement, so I'll be looking into as much tips and tricks I can for Link as well.
steep crescent
ALVR straight up didn't work for me while VD works perfectly
azure mantle
Oh, I got ALVR working after a lot of screwing around, hence why I said it needs some updates
(Specifically, the Electron UI is absolutely terrible, there was nothing wrong with the old WPF one)
storm frost
@pine granite @obsidian zealot
I can report that the Oculus Quest 2's Mic does not work for me through Oculus Link + Steam VR. When I was playing with others on the Quest 2 without connecting to a PC, my friend told me that they could hear some echo through the Quest 2's built-in speakers, so I think the issue may not be resolved unless volume or mic sensitivity is adjusted somehow.
I personally use a pair of headphones for both as speakers and microphone, and it also doubles to balance out the weight distribution of the Quest 2? Otherwise it's quite uncomfortable for me to wear.
@azure mantle Wow, I think your knowledge would be really helpful to a lot of people! Part of it does come from understanding one's hardware, but it's hard when you don't really understand the terminology or what it takes to run VRChat on a VR headset. With the amount of newcomers to VR using the Quest 2, having a comprehensive resource on the topic of optimization would be really useful.
I see, I would like to look into ALVR or VD as well, but there is the SideQuest/Developer Account requirement which I'm not so keen on registering for at the moment due to privacy concerns.
One of the "optimizations" that I ended up doing to run VRChat more smoothly is disabling most of the cores on the processor in order to sustain a much higher boost clock. Using those CPU/GPU monitors, I noticed it wasn't my GPU really getting used, but the CPU having issues. And I read that VRChat is preferential towards single core performance because all the dynamic bones calculations take place on that one core.
azure mantle
You're half right
Good on you for actually checking where your bottleneck was
but VRChat DOES benefit from running on multiple cores despite some intensive tasks being done on the main thread
I have an FX 8350
when I run VRChat, it takes full advantage of the 8 available "cores" (thanks AMD) and if I disable any of them to the game, I get immense amounts of lag
I know depending on the setup and CPU, forcing an app onto specific cores can help boost clocks, but this is rarely the case.
the real protip
is to disable dynamic bones entirely and shun anyone who needs them, skirts/dresses can be done via weight paints, most hair as well, short hair doesnt need it, especially on anime models, ears tails and wings can be done via animations
and to take any unimportant background apps, and move them off core 0

Is there no camera ability for Quest 2 users in-game?
gusty bolt
So, I’m new to avatar creation, but I’ve been working in 3D modelling for a while. I’m wondering, what kinds of avatars are in short supply? Off the top of my head, I feel like it’s really hard to find Quest optimized male anime avatars. Any other gaps in the market?
I’d like to cater to Quest users because the platform is on the up & up and they are under-served.
last oriole
Anything that's not TDA. And we need decent male avatars
worldly ember
There is a major lack of avatars for anyone who isn't white
I found one lightskin anime avatar and that's what I am rn even though I really hate that it has a tail
I would say in general VRChat lacks inclusive anime skins
That are original of course (not from any specific anime)
obsidian zealot
Just find one offline and change the color
Also: Most anime characters are Asian, not white. Important distinction.
They might pass as white, but they were never meant to be white.
tawdry wyvern
You can be anything. Why stick with something you are
haughty coyote
Most people when they make avatars just upload them with minor edits. Since they usually use mmd which is japanese, often they're similar skin tones. I've been editing my personal avatars to have tan skin more like mine
tawdry wyvern
dark skin can be achieve by multiple way. But since people use anime character. by default they will be light skin
I have a few in the avatar map I upload
gusty bolt
No, but I think @worldly ember has a good point. There’s a serious lack of diversity in anime skins. I don’t think it’s intentional; just a bi-product of most of this stuff coming from Japan. I do worry what squeakers would do with black or hispanic avatars though.
obsidian zealot
Yeah we really need some white anime characters for a change.
In all seriousness Japan really doesn’t have much variation in skin tone. It’s prevalent in pretty much all media. And when they do attempt black representation it’s usually very.. uh... bad.
gusty bolt
No idea what you’re talking about...🌝
obsidian zealot
I take it you don’t watch a lot of anime lol
gusty bolt
obsidian zealot
American localization often has to whitewash black anime characters for due to looking otherwise like blackface.
gusty bolt
No, I do, I was being sarcastic...
obsidian zealot
And they usually have the same stereotypes when Japan makes a white character but people tend to be oblivious to Japan’s white steriotypes (usually, huge noses)
obsidian zealot
Yeah the frog lip thing
That’s the main thing localization tends to just make them white instead lol
jagged trench
yeah and there hasn't been a whole lot of attempts in the west as far as generalized Avatar creation software like the only one I can think of off the top of my head is https://twitter.com/getwolf3d as far as ones that let you get the source file

yeah I honestly wouldn't mind those and they're following me on Twitter so I can make sure the poke them about having a medium or excellent quality Quest Avatar output so that folks had decent options for Avatars outside of furries painting bases
haughty coyote
Is there a way for my friend to access non-quest features of VRchat with a Quest2 + link cable?
tawdry wyvern
Yes
haughty coyote
is there a guide on how to do so?
tawdry wyvern
Youtube or blogpost probably
jagged trench
worldly ember
This isn’t a bad representation of a black person in anime
It can be bad but there’s also good
Like for example i know it isn’t anime but pokémon is kinda the same theres representation in Pokémon games
At least when I played this one Pokémon game on the 3DS idk how it is now
But skin color makes a difference
I feel like the problem is that certain skins could potentially take advantage of having multiple versions (skin color wise)
And I found a world that does that
Its an avatar world that has these 2 male and female avatars and you can customize them through the menu
But it’s either black or white theres no inbetween which sucks for me
heady bobcat
Does the quest 2 have the same avatar problems like the quest 1
obsidian zealot
More ambiguously brown than black, but yee
Could just as easily be Latino, Indian, Middle eastern, etc
If a change of skin tone is all you want that’s very easy texturing
tawdry wyvern
what about keeping facial feature as well
obsidian zealot
Personally I see anime characters as just ambiguously human. No actual race. The creators intent is usually for them to be Asian but I feel they pass just as easily for white. I’m not black, but change the skin tone and to me they are black. The cartoon face just looks generic.
jagged trench
being able to use it wirelessly

That’s a shite perk if I do say so myself
Anything else?

jagged trench

And not everyone who bought a quest bought it exclusively for VRChat. So having some limitations in one game is the least of their concerns
@haughty coyote
steep crescent
I would've to buy my own PC first
I currently use the PC of my room mate sometimes
But it's pretty weak for VR so i only use it for VRChat to see my friends avatars. From anyone else I'll have to block avatars through safety settings otherwise the game will just crash.
And I've to play on 40% resolution (Steam VR) to get acceptable FPS

How I can be sure to my account be safe to use with quest 2?

@haughty coyote that’s only if you play the built-in version. There’s no downsides to a quest when playing the Pc version. You just can be wireless if you want

@quasi needle there’s nothing wrong with making a Facebook account just to use Quest. The account just needs to be under your real name, and you aren’t allowed to have multiple Facebook accounts. So you have to use your real one if you already have one.
People making a secondary Facebook account are the ones that are getting banned. Or those signing up under a fake name.

Only Quest avatars. However, the game runs much smoother than the original Quest
@haughty coyote For some reason I can occasionally switch on people's avatars that are listed as PC only. I'm on Quest 2
obsidian zealot
If you can see their avatar they aren’t PC only. They just have a quest version that is over 7500 tris so it is not shown by default.
@gleaming hamlet
You’ll know because the default robot is slightly different
gleaming hamlet
I'm meaning a few times now I've pointed at a robot avatar that's has the grey quest symbol and the blue pc symbol, so PC only, and when I select Show Avatar they appear
obsidian zealot
That might be the bug where someone changes avatars while it’s still ,loading and doesn’t update. Fix for that is coming.
Trust me the quest has absolutely no way to show a Windows build of an avatar.
If they didn’t build it for android you’re not going to see it no matter what
gleaming hamlet
That's actually a good point, you're right
obsidian zealot
One point of confusion that often happens is the little PC and Quest symbols on peoples nametags. That represents which platform they are on, it has nothing to do with their avatars compatibility
gleaming hamlet
Oh shit are you serious? I thought that was avatar compatibility for sure
obsidian zealot
But those same symbols on avatar pedestals represents which platforms it supports so it’s a bit confusing
Yeah
gleaming hamlet
So pedestals and portals are compatibility, name tag is system? But if I click somebody's avatar, is the symbol in the quick menu representing compatibility?
obsidian zealot
Expecting them to get changed with the UI update. Yeah they reused the same symbols for different contexts
All of my avatars are cross compatible but you’ll only see blue on my name tag since I’m only using PC
Throw them on a pedestal and both light up
And if you use oculus link, everyone looks at your name tag and says you’re not really using a quest since it says you’re on PC

So i'm trying to get my Quests mic to work in VRchat but the mic isnt making any sound when i speak, i tried changing my WIndows input and output, change steamVR settings to have its input and output to be the quest setting my mic to the VR headsets mic in game still doesnt produce any sound. also when i went into the control panel it just shows the mic making noise but its not me making noise, volume doesnt increase or decrease at all (i'm using VirtualDesktop).
obsidian zealot
It looks like Facebook never fixed the issues the quest 1 had concerning the microphone
If you use a USB 2.0 cable it will work every time
If you use a 3.0 cable (like the official link one) it randomly won’t initialize
If it doesn’t you have to disconnect from link and reconnect and hope it initialize
Sucks they didn’t fix it still
Of course the downside of using a 2.0 cable is more video compression but your mic works every time
acoustic parrot
@brisk stump make sure you have mic passthrough enabled and that's not the right audio driver anyways
Go into virtual desktop settings on the quest and select microphone passthrough and noise cancellation on and then go to the app on pc and make sure you select auto select mic
You'll then have to go into vrchat and if it's not already set as your default mic for vrc you'll have to just search through the devices till you find virtual desktop

I just join smaller worlds. There are plenty of populated ones, such as the Great Pug West, and if you go world surfing you’re bound to run into people. I’ll do that to meet new people sometimes and it’s fun

Hey guys, two questions: how do you enable auto view of other peoples avatars? Constantly doing it manually is annoying. And how do you toggle allow cloning of your avatar?
tawdry wyvern
You can allow poor avatar to be view by default in the safety section
For cloning. Its in the setting menu. Bottom middle

So I haven’t played this game in a while but just wondering did they ever fix the particles cause they still seem broken to me

Received my quest 2 a week ago and I’ve already scratched the lenses. 🌝 fml. Does anyone have advice for removing scratches. Some people say that polyfill works great; and others say that it will permanently ruin your lenses. Could I take it to an optometrist? They fix scratched glasses...

@gusty bolt if you bought it from a physical store I would probably just return it within the warranty and say it was too small for your head or something, then buy a new one somewhere else. Not exactly nice but might as well start over and Facebook won’t miss the revenue.
gusty bolt
Hmmm, I bought it on Amazon from Best Buy. I’ll have to check out their return policy. I’d like to avoid returning it if possible. I’d hate to throw away an otherwise perfectly good headset.

anyone know how to get full body working with quest 2 since open input emulator is broken?

@lament cargo I've just used OVR Space Calibrator and OVR Advanced Settings. Changing offsets and whatnot. I think you can map the buttons to change height in the settings, haven't done it yet.

Hi does anyone wanna play vrchat with me :> please dont be over 16 because am only 14
haughty coyote
@lament cargo Another option if you have a PC capable of it, is to use an Xbox Kinect Sensor and a driver, and if you want wireless VR, you can use Virtual Desktop as well

Hey guys, is vrchat finally usable with the Quest 2?
woeful cypress
Shouldn't it have been usable from the beginning. 🤔
inner basin
It was lagging so much that it wasn't usable most of the time
empty wing
Yes it performs really well, actually. Of course, the quality is downgraded, and if there is a very big or detailed avatar, vrchat will lag
haughty coyote
I was getting ~52 fps in a full Black Cat world on Quest 2
obsidian zealot
Yeah but what percentages of the avatars can you even see
empty wing
About 50/50 from personal experience

the same percentile they would have seen on a quest one as the Avatar rating system hasn't been changed it all

Or it might be a bug

And sometimes when I'm in a world it lags super hard

Does karaoke central work with quest 2?

It's recommended on Quest to not join worlds with more than 10 people. A lot of people in a world cause lag. At least it's that way on Quest 1. Can't say much about Quest 2 cause i don't have one.

Quest 2's been pretty great performance wise.

Very much so

Hello lol
You gotta find the right quest players to vibe with there not all children there’s some dope pc players too. But majority won’t use cross compatible avatars so you see a robot but you will run into the odd few XD. Plus go to the popular maps you can literally find maps full of quest players

I mostly used Quest avatars on PC anyways, so I didn’t really lose anything besides access to a couple worlds when I got my Quest 2

Virtual Desktop had been a dream for VRChat and Skyrim VR. Haven't had any controller problems ever.

Virtual desktop is great. Sometimes the frame rate drop can cause motion sickness, but if you’ve got strong be legs, it’s a much better experience overall.

Quick question, I'm new here and I'm going to buy the quest 2. I don't have a pc so I was wondering if I can still play vr chat with just the standalone headset.
unkempt leaf
Yes you can play vr chat with just the headset

Thank you for telling me that, I'm glad to know I don't need to buy both straight away to play it even if it doesn't let me do all the things it would on pc.

Yea I have a quest 2 and I played vrchat in standalone it's very limited

i just brought the rift s how do i get avatars and maps for this game?

@vagrant musk Basically you will get avatars from avatar worlds, and to find worlds you just need to go to the worlds section in the menu.

Hello there everyone, I'm looking for help right now. You see, I bought Oculus Quest 2 a few days ago and tried to link my steam account with my VRchat account (My steam account was a year or so older than the VRchat one). I followed the instructions in order to link accounts so I could get higher user rank but I've got banned instead for "Modified client detected". The fact is that I haven't modified anything, do you know if I've done anything wrong? I already contacted vrchat moderation via email and still waiting for an answer. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what exactly is going on
snow scarab
😮 Whats going on with VRChat.
- Lip Sync sometimes gone
- Smooth camera to crouch pose gone,
- Head movement with the sitting animation gone
- Avatar walk broken
obsidian zealot
People reported the smooth camera crouch as a bug so they fixed it and made it instant again
obsidian zealot
I mean it was reported by users as one. It was probably an intentional change but people didn’t like it so they reported as bug

Hmm okay. I thought it was normal, because it looks way much better 😄

Man is anyone else having like, ALOT of issues today? Every avatar I use locks in A pose if I reset, or emote it in any way, sometimes just straight up happens when I join a world
haughty coyote
Do videos work on quest?
jagged trench
unfortunately not
haughty coyote
Some worlds can actually use it, but you need to allow untrusted URLs in the Settings menu under safety and comfort, and some world video players will work. Most don’t, but there are some every now and then
haughty coyote
Does vrchat run better or crash less on Quest 2 than quest 1? Haven't been able to play it yet bcuz work an stuff
or is it still the unstable dumpster fire we all know and tolerate lmao?
It runs tons better on Quest 2. I think I’ve had it crash once because I was in too bug of a world with lots of detailed Queest avatars, but haven’t had a crash besides that. It runs much smoother as well
Ah, on Quest 1 i kid you not there was one point where I would get the out of memory notice every time i tried to join a world and my headset was constantly overheating lmao
even rebooting only fixed it for like 20 minutes lol
Yeah, Quest 2 runs SO much better than the original
epic
does it support less optimized avatars? I hated how I could only use nice looking avatars on desktop
obsidian zealot
There’s no difference in terms of avatar requirements for quest 2. Most of its increased power goes into the higher refresh rate and sharper resolution.
haughty coyote
ah that sucks
I have found a few avatars that don't break the game but still look cool, but still sucks that even with the increased ram you can't have larger avatars
obsidian zealot
I think it would cause a lot of headaches if people had three different uploads and restrictions to support for every avatar
I think at that point I would just throw up my hands and start building for PC only
Or just 2 and say tough luck to one of them
proven sedge
i want to buy the Oculus Rift S good idea or stupid?
obsidian zealot
It’s a discontinued headset so you’ll only be buying it used I don’t recommend
Has a crappy mic as well
Original vive and rift s are in “good when they were new but bad by 2020 standards” bin
I’d wait, there’s at least two really good headsets around the corner
And if you’re going to be OK with Facebook you might as well get a quest 2
Facebook is the only bad thing about it
proven sedge
k thx
haughty coyote
Build the relativity headset
like $250 and viveport compatible
yeah, adeon, that actually is accurate about facebook, and with some legwork, that even is avoidable (some mad lads got linux to run on quest 2 lmao)
oblique sonnet
Any quest 2 users haveing trouble loading vrchat worlds?
haughty coyote
i want to buy the Oculus Rift S good idea or stupid?
As adeon said, it's older hardware so you won't have warranty or support
In its current state, I can definitely recommend it but probably not for the ~290$ it sells for right now. Low FOV, bad mic, but of all my VR friends who own the whole gamut of headsets, I've had by far the least issues all around and most consistent experience. tracking is fantastic, resolution is fine until the next generation. the index is far superior, but is far more expensive.
So again, I love my rift s but the price point even used is not quite correct. If a buddy wants to give you his for 120 bucks or something, I'd take it. Otherwise, wait, or do some research on the quest 2
ruby sky
Adding on to that same question, I was told that Quest 2 wireless is a bit harder connection, so would Rift S be better since it's wired?
limber narwhal
Im interested in jumping into VR (mostly because of VR chat, but i know with time i will want to play steam vr games on my vr headset). I was looking into the quest 2 because of the usb connection to the PC. My pc is stream worthy. I saw someone mention that there will be a couple new VR headsets just around the corner. would it be worth it to purchase a quest2 with new vr headsets just around the corner? Thanks!
steep crescent
It depends, if you aren't interested in standalone VR and have the extra money it probably would be better to get better Headsets as Quest 2. But Quest 2 is a good Budget Version for a Headset if you want to save money but probably won't be as good as a Index or Reverb.
haughty coyote
Reverb G2 is the best PCVR headset in terms of specs, and Quest 2 is the same for standalone VR, and can also be turned into PCVR with the right cord
obsidian zealot
Is reverb even out? The DecaGear specs look way better than reverb g2
I just want something that rivals the index fov
Once you have high fov it’s hard to go back
Came for the full body, stayed for the FoV. Don’t even use the full body
haughty coyote
DecaGear is still hard to trust imo. Same as pimax making a bunch of claims, but eventually failing to deliver quality. We'll see
Reverb G2 is taking preorders and are shipping the first batch now
haughty coyote
at this point, I honestly don't care that much about pixel density, I just want more FOV
Reverb G2 I'm still waiting to hear about, I'm mostly worried about the controller compatibility and tracking.
haughty coyote
Controller tracking is good. The button layout is fine for most games, but for vrchat the gestures will likely all be handled with the thumbstick.
The fov was tested by some reviewers and using the steamvr measuring tool, is larger than vive, but smaller than index
But the lenses are better than index apparently

@median marten no open beta currently it went to live already, some open betas do have quest betas as well usually the one's lasting longer
median marten
Got it. Thanks for the info
obsidian zealot
Oh yeah I mean I wouldn’t buy a headset myself until I start getting hands on YouTube reviews from people I trust. I still am hype about DecaGear though. Valve confirmed their involvment. I’m usually sus but I have hopes for this being the quest killer
Nothing against quest ofc
Great hardware
gritty cosmos
Well it’s not really a quest killer since the quest is a stand alone and by what I’ve seen, the decagear seems to be a headset that you have to plug in
haughty coyote
Decagear will have a wirless version according to insiders
haughty coyote
I think so, I don’t know the details, but I know that they were having a PCVR headset and/or a standalone headset. It could be like Quest Link, but with it more built in. Maybe even wireless Link type propeties? I don’t really know, but it seems like it could be a cool headset if it the things are true
gusty bolt
It just seems to good to be true...
