I need help with my quest
So I have a quest 2 and I've been playing vrchat using the oculus link. Some players have performance mode on and i have to manually click on them and enable. Is there a way to toggle this so I won't be needing to do this all the time. I had to unfavor an avatar because I couldn't click on myself to see my own model.
normal finch
I myself as a quest two user as well seem to have this same issue. And as far as solutions go I can’t really help- but I know that some quest/pc avatars have a tendency of working and everything but showing up as error bots when selecting to change into them or just to see them- the avatar still works but 👀 a lot of questions.
copper delta
I have an oculus rift but I dont use it as much because the lens are scratched and I've been looking for a way to replace them
haughty coyote
Hi, quick question. I'm on vrc right now and there's a weird thing happening with the avatars when you keep running, the lower body just hovers up and idt looks like your laying down in the air, what's that about?

@haughty coyote I know you probably figured it out by now but were you glitched in seat mode
Like You had sit play on when you didn't mean to
haughty coyote
Probably. But I play in seated mode all the time, but this is the first time this happend. And not just to me.

Ooh usually glitches like that can be simply fixed by restarting vrchat or your Oculus

@abstract marlin Use a 2.0 cable and the mic will work 100% of the time. It's some bug with 3.0 cables

Does anybody know much about how to set up an external pair of headphones + mic for use with a VR headset? I've been trying to use my headphones in a roomscale VR setup, but whenever I try hooking it up with any kind of 3.5mm extension cord (microphone compatible), I get a lot of interference between the signals. The audio output will be playing into the input (microphone) so it results in an unavoidable echo in vrchat or otherwise.
obsidian zealot
Sounds like you’re using the wrong kind of Jack I would recommend not doing that because you can blow out your microphone if it tries to use your mike as a speaker
worldly rapids
That sounds kinda cool. I mean, I kind of want to hear what that sounds like.
obsidian zealot
Analog speakers and analog microphones are the same circuit - they just work in reverse. That means you can talk into a speaker that is plugged into a mic jack and it will record. You can also plug a microphone into a speaker jack and audio will come out of its tiny diaphragm- only for a short while before it gets blown out and destroyed

limber narwhal
Hey guys, So i bought the quest2 and the link cable, when i fire up vr chat via oculus link with my pc and my headset, i cant get my mic from the headset to work in vr chat. Ive seen some comments around saying that this is a bug. Anyone else have similar issues as myself?
@normal finch "God same issue here, I’ve just been using my headset with its microphone."
which headset? you think if i plug in some earbuds with a mic on them itll work?
normal finch
@limber narwhal Well probably- I just have it connect with my computer since I usually watch YouTube n crap anyway and got a headset with a microphone on it for pc gaming before I got a VR. It’s probably not the best though with ear buds and a microphone on the cord because of the fact it kinda picks up on all the noise.
limber narwhal
@normal finch I tried connecting my razor nari over the ear headphones to use for audio and a mic for the quest2( plugged it in through the 3.5audio jack) it didn’t work. So I tried a different headset, the audio worked but the microphone didn’t.
I’ve seen some say oculus link via 3.0 cable made the quest2 microphone not work, but oculus link via 2.0 cable, the mic did work. Lol kinda frustrating tbh. I got my quest 2 a couple days ago and can’t seem to get it running 100% properly with oculus link vrc:/

It’s in a box that may as well be concrete.

I hope they allow handtracking from the quest2 some time
haughty coyote
Not likely, because then you would not be able to move around or open up the menu or anything like that. Plus it a big feature that only some of there playerbase even has access to, and out of those, not everyone would use hand tracking anyways
steep brook
There’s no way I’m getting a quest 2 because of the whole mandatory Facebook thing
obsidian zealot
There is one handed locomotion there would be no problem with having the other hand trackable
However quest finger tracking feels really nice because the hand dynamically resizes to your own hand’s proportion. And that only works because it’s a ghost hand. Doing that on an actual detailed model would deform it pretty bad.

so i need some help. i just downloaded vrchat today on oculus quest and i dont know what button on my controls opens the menu, which is it im confused.
soft salmon
it’s been so long since I’ve played VR chat, I want to get back in it and play again - do you guys recommend the Oculus Quest honestly, might get one tonight
haughty coyote
@soft salmon If you have a capable PC, and don’t want to buy a headset at all, there is still desktop mode. If you want to play on less worlds with less avatars, but still want to play wireless VR, Quest is probably your best bet. I like my Quest 2, and VRChat runs pretty well, so it’s really up to you. Just make sure you’re ready to sign into your Facebook account though
charred stone
oh yeah is the quest 2 worth it? im looking to get into vr but i want something cheap
soft salmon
That’s interesting, is FaceBook required for the Quest???
haughty coyote
@twin carbon Click every button, even pressing the joystick. One of them will open up a menu on the hand you click the button with, while the other hand presses buttons from the menu. After pressing a menu opening option, a normal menu will pop up. Hope this helps!
soft salmon
Just googled, I see it is required to sign into FB. That kind of sucks, I don’t want everyone to see my FB info...
fast pecan
You can set that to private
haughty coyote
@soft salmon Yes, Facebook is indeed required for Quest 2. You are able to hide your Quest action and Facebook action from other users, so nobody on Facebook can see what you’re doing on Quest, and nobody on Quest can see your real name
soft salmon
That’s good then, thank you for the information!!!
haughty coyote
You’re welcome! Look for reviews on YouTube if you want. I personally watch ThrillSeeker, SteveKnows, EricForPresident, and Tyriel Wood. You can just watch the Quest 2 videos, or whatever interests you.
steep crescent
Tbh VRChat on standalone Quest kind of sucks. Can't see 99% of avatars which takes a lot of fun. Especially if all your friends play on PCVR or Desktop Mode. So i also just use Virtual Desktop even if my PC is not powerful.
Playing VRChat on PC is very recommended, great experience and a lot of fun.

spice vine
Oof
grim geode
How well has vr chat been ported on the original oculus quest?
grim geode
So I’m guessing poorly?
barren belfry
apperently model optimizations are more important that code optimisation
blazing sparrow
Especially with 100k+ tris
It’s much better on Quest 2 than the original
Mostly because of processing power
grim geode
If you use oculus link and run vrchat on steamvr is it better?
barren belfry
it used to run fine on og quest before all the updates
blazing sparrow
Yes
grim geode
So I’m assuming oculus link would just be same as running on like a rift s
barren belfry
yep
blazing sparrow
And it didn’t run fine, you could still only have up to 12 people in a room and have ~30fps
barren belfry
yeah
grim geode
Is that on link?
barren belfry
nah, quest 1
grim geode
But if you run on link the FPS is better?
blazing sparrow
Bet decoding 12 streams of audio at once is probably pretty intensive on the cpu
blazing sparrow
It depends on many things: what you’re doing, people in instance count, avatars, safety settings, etc.
specs is important
barren belfry
but yeah
personally, my rig (3700x, 16gb 3200mh) is pretty bottlenecked by my 1660 ti
but soon ill be able to upgrade to a 3080
blazing sparrow
I have a 3600x, 16gb of RAM with a 1660ti, I don’t really need any more for anything
grim geode
Well you’d guys say a link is pretty important if you want to play vrchat?
blazing sparrow
Half-life alyx is already incredible at medium settings
And yeah, don’t play without link unless it’s in a small room
grim geode
Yeah I’m getting a oculus quest for dirt cheap from a friend so I was going to get a link
barren belfry
quest fps with the new optimised avatars and worlds is exactly the same as when avatars werent optimised
blazing sparrow
So yeah, audio
barren belfry
in short, the quest 1's framerate is shit and its a mystery how oculus let it on the quest store due to the "consistant 50+fps rule" they had
blazing sparrow
Because it’s popular
barren belfry
true
blazing sparrow
The issue was likely largely audio source counts (people speaking is an audio source)
barren belfry
yikes
blazing sparrow
Which is why: NO. They won’t bring back avatar audio on quest
grim geode
Does that mean like emotes?
blazing sparrow
No, just any sound that wasn’t someone speaking
barren belfry
i remember it was there for like, 1 update, then patched oit immidiatly
grim geode
I mean that’s kinda fine by me cause half the time it’s pretty annoying
barren belfry
yeah
i wish they would remove avatars that fuck with your screen and put shit over your menu so you cant see anything or block that person's avatar
grim geode
Yeah
barren belfry
it would be nice if those shaders were blocked
blazing sparrow
@barren belfry you can disable avatar animations in safety, that’s how those are tirggered
grim geode
Also you can use a mic on quest right?
blazing sparrow
Yes
barren belfry
yeah
grim geode
Good to know
And is there settings for colorblindness and shit on most games or on the quest in general
barren belfry
nope
blazing sparrow
It’s not that important on VRChat
I can’t think of much, if anything, that depends on colour
barren belfry
true
grim geode
Eh it helps with differentiating colors a lot
blazing sparrow
As I said, you don’t really need to differentiate colours in VRChat, except maybe nameplates
But you can select people to see their rank in text

limber narwhal
I personally cannot get my quest2 mic to work while oculus linking my headset to my pc for vrchat 😮
It’s fuckin annoying, I bought the damn official cable just to have the mic not work...
rancid crypt
@limber narwhal you might have to go into the menu for vrchat and change your mic input to the Oculus mic
Also, closing the game entirely then reopening it tends to work
Restarting your pc might help as well
rancid crypt
Just trouble shoot tf out of it lmao
limber narwhal
@rancid crypt ive tried all of that already lol >_<
rancid crypt
Oop
Hmm
Maybe your headset is wack
Have you tried other games to test your mic with?
How about the permissions options? Maybe you have to enable access
@limber narwhal
I sound like a bot lol, sorry. Just trying to help in anyway I can think of
limber narwhal
@rancid crypt ive fired up VRC on my headset not linked to the pc and the mic works just fine T_T
it has to be the permissions or somethin going on with audio input, but i came seem to figure it out, and its fuckin pissing me off lmao. im pretty sure ive enabled mic access.
rancid crypt
I would just double check, it could also have something to do with your input output on your actual pc
You’d just need to go into the volume properties and check to see what mic is set

well im not getting a quest 2 im going with the hp reverb g2 in my opinion the g2 is much much better then the quest 2 in many ways and of course no facebook 😉
im not saying that the quest 2 is bad not at all it's a good vr headset but for me facebook/oculus is making big mistakes.....

big bug for quest. randomly ppl disappear and are not audible and blocking and unblocking them doesnt seem to work. I literally have to reset my game tofix this and sometimes it doesnt even fix it. Just started happening this recent update. They are able to see and here me but thats about it.

You cant go above the limit anymore for quest they made it that way so you dont overload the system with the newest update@long needle

Curse you oculus
Can you bypass it in anyway?

blazing sparrow
@umbral pier only using link
umbral pier
damn
blazing sparrow
because that's just the pc version of vrchat
umbral pier
so you can't even manually enable stuff right
blazing sparrow
dynamic bones can be used in worlds, but avatars can't be uploaded with some components which are available to pc (dynamic bones included)
and the two platforms pretty much speak two completely different languages, so you can see pc avatars on quest unless it's built for both.
transparency is also a no on quest
umbral pier
so how would you say is the vrc experience on the quest 2 then
can you not really see any avatars at all
blazing sparrow
Just they have to be built for quest for that to happen.
umbral pier
damn
blazing sparrow
Which is about half of avatars anyway
most of which get performance blocked on quest by default
umbral pier
well shit lol
blazing sparrow
You can manually show performance blocked avatars though
umbral pier
so just to confirm dynamic bones are just completely 100% blocked
you can't even manually get around the block
blazing sparrow
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-limitations
all quest limits
no, you can't
umbral pier
do all those limits still apply to the quest 2
probably a dumb question but i'm desperate at this point lmao
blazing sparrow
Yes, because handling 2 versions of a game is hard enough and they need the quest 2's processing power to maintain an ok framerate
and no dynamic bones isn't the end of the world
Transparency has work-arounds too
umbral pier
but only half of the avatars at max are probably visible at a time right
not max but around
blazing sparrow
Some people either:
A. Don't bother to upload for Quest
B. Know that their avatar is way too performance heavy for Quest
C. Don't because of limits
D. Do but ignore most limits (tri count, mat count, etc. This gets these blocked by default, but can still be shown most are like this too)
E. actually take the time and effort to optimise for Quest, which isn't often, but most common avatars have this.
A, B and C are most common.
D is about 40%
and E is the rest
umbral pier
ouch
blazing sparrow
You can still survive with that however, and the first 3 are becoming less common, and the 4th is about the same.
umbral pier
ok huh
i'm just worried that i won't be able to put in enough hours for my quest to be a good investment or whatever
blazing sparrow
Most of the time, the last option is just:
- Fix model with CATS
- Make an atlas also using CATS
- Decimate
That takes ~1 minute
umbral pier
ok so i don't really even know anymore if i'm going to enjoy vrchat lol
like it's kinda going back and forth
blazing sparrow
¯_(ツ)_/¯
this stiff is kinda confusing but to summarise:
PC > Quest, but sometimes you get stuck with Quest.
blazing sparrow
Quest is fine if you never play PC, don't get motion sick, or just don't care
umbral pier
yeah i just want to screw around with a friend ig
blazing sparrow
Yeah, you'll be fine with Quest then
umbral pier
ok thank you lol
viscid pasture
if i plug my quest in can i use pc avatars?
quartz cargo
Yes, you only need a VR-ready PC.
steep crescent
I dont have one, but i tweaked a lot of performance settings. Like changing resolution in SteamVR. And i heard playing over this Oculus program is more performance heavy than steam. At least a friend used VRChat via that Oculus program and after i told him that i've less problems with SteamVR he switched too. Now he also got rid of most problems.
viscid pasture
i have a nvidia geforce pc that i have had for a few years would that be vr ready?
marble marsh
Really depends on it's specs
If you have a Nvidia GPU you may have Geforce experience, can just go to the settings option at the top right of it and then General to see specs.
marble marsh
Frankly doesn't tell us much. VR Ready could be very min spec for that and wouldn't be a great experience if so
marble marsh
I now see it was pointless to try and help you

Hi, I was wondering if in order to rank up on quest you had to link your quest and VRchat accounts or if you could just use the sign in with VRchat option without linking
haughty coyote
You need to be signed into an official VRChat account to rank up. You can either link your accounts using a merge token, or if you don’t really have anything on your Quest account, you could just make a VRChat account, sign out of your Quest account, and then sign in with your new VRChat account

guys, is there a tutorial to properly control fingers on oculus quest? I find this task extremely difficult, first time using oculus quest 2
haughty coyote
There is a world called “Controllers” or somethhing similar which is all about teaching hand controlls on OQ
umbral pier
is it normal for this game to take like 5 minutes to boot and like 5 minutes to enter different world on quest
like this progress bar has just been stuck at 0% this whole time
sometimes it takes 2 minutes
other times it's longer
haughty coyote
Restart your Quest and/or check your internet connection. If you only have a 2.4G bandwidth intead of 5G, it takes longer
umbral pier
is there a way to check
haughty coyote
If you go to your Quest’s internet settings, it will show you what type of connection you have
umbral pier
oh
also i'm not really sure if it's internet thoug because it also takes like 5 mins to just boot
unless that's normal
haughty coyote
Are you talking about booting it up from the Quest Menu, or is ot stuck loading in the menu?
umbral pier
booting it from the quest menu
i mean
everything after the login bit takes like 5 minutes to just load the home world
this is on the quest 2 btw
haughty coyote
Ok, so it’s after login, so it’s not a problem with your actual headset, which is good. It’s likely to be a problem with internet connection
You could also try clearing all your cache data, and if that doesn’t work and you have a VRChat or Oculus account, you could just delete and reinstall the game and see if that works
vestal adder
I just got the Quest 2 today, and when using it standalone I discovered that I'm very limited to what worlds and avatars I can use. My question is (and this might seem like a stupid question but I've never owned a VR set before), if I connect my Quest 2 to my PC I can use the PC-compatible worlds and avatars again, right? I don't have a cable for PC connection yet so I can't test it myself.
haughty coyote
Yes, you are able to
I have a third party cable and use it with my Quest 2, it works just fine
vestal adder
ok, cool, thank you. I didn't want to have to return my headset because I ended up getting the wrong kind, being a "standalone" set I wasn't 100% sure if it even could connect to a PC or not.
haughty coyote
It uses Oculus Link to connect to PC, and it will act just like an Oculus Rift or any other PCVR headset. Link is still in Beta for now, so you may want to check if your GPU and other PC parts are supported by Link. You can check the list on the Oculus website
vestal adder
Do you have a recommendation for a good third-party cable for cheaper than the one on the Oculus site? Also, if my PC just has old USB ports and not the newer USB-C, do I need a new PC to be able to connect the cable? It's not that old, but it's an Alienware from 2014
haughty coyote
You’ll need a USB 3.0 cable, so make suure you have a 3.0 port free on your PC
My personal third party cable is a Shample cable that I bought on Amazon. It was about half the price of the official cable, and I haven’t had any problems with it so far. You can also research some other cables if you want. I know that PartyLink and some others have pretty reliable cables as well

I can't unblock certain avatars even after pressing Show Avatar. Is there something I can do to fix it?
Also, am I able to use a camera on the quest 2?
For vrc, of course
haughty coyote
You cannot see PC avatars, so they will show up as robots with an image of their avatar in the middle of their chest, so you can’t do anything about that. Quest also does not have the function to use the camera due to the hardware limitations, maybe it could come to Quest 2, bot not likely. There are a few Quest worlds which allow you to use a camera in it, so if you really want to use it, you’ll need to find one of those

Is there anyway to bypass the avatar 10mb avatar size limit?

If there is a way to bypass it, you will still run into the issue that the avatar will not appear. The devs mentioned this a while back

is vrchat on oculus quest 2

Yes
The vrchat team DESPERATELY needs to update the game to take advantage of the quest 2 hardware
Also I was in a avatar place with the original quest and the npcs were dancing and had dynamic bones so why can’t we have the option to turn them on if we wanted
(The dynamic bones didn’t mess up frames btw)
Really wish the vrchat team would see this

@raw briar No point in buying a quest 2 if you do have an original quest and don't really care about the improvements, specially no point if you only use quest as a pc headset unless you really really need 90hz
raw briar
Got it thanks
acoustic parrot
It's a nice headset other then the facebook junk and the extremely short cord
But an upgrade from the og one is kinda not needed unless you play a ton of vrchat quest and or other quest games, no use for anyone who casually plays to upgrade

im tryying to use vrchat on the oculus link, it doesnt load in past the "Waiting for vrchat" even though I see it loaded on my computer and it runs horribly very low FPS. On any steamvr game my computer runs slow but this isnt the case for anyother non-steam vr game
can anyone help?
and yes I do have a powerful enough pc to run it (im running on laptop as well)
acoustic parrot
Might want to try the oculus version of vrchat rather then steam vr if you are using link @grim geode
I know on my end I can run the oculus version better then I can with the steam vr version
grim geode
Well it works fine on that but I'm trying to find the reason it doesnt work on my computer
acoustic parrot
I mean you might technically have a pc powerful enough for vr it just might be a multitude of reasons plus with steam vr its got more going on in the background in some cases

hi. i am new to vrchat, and only have a quest 2. I've noticed its a bit glitchy. I am wondering if I can get some form of cloud computing to make it better, Unfortunately shadow PC has a wait time of May 2021, so I looked at AWS. Does anyone know if it is possible to get an instance running in AWS which I could stop start and put virtual desktop on so I can run VRchat better?

hi
i just purchase a oculus quest 2
is amazing, i tried the hand tracker
also vrchat run almost good, i would know if tracking hand is coming also for vrchat
obsidian zealot
Hand tracking works, but not finger tracking. Important difference
acoustic parrot
It'd be a neat feature but handtracking on the quest isn't that good for now, maybe in the future it'll be better enough to where it'll be worthwhile for the devs to put it into the game
stoic dagger
I can definitely see it become a massive thing so it's doubtful it'd not be added
woeful cypress
The big issue with with completely controller free handtracking is having the rest of the game "work"
(without having to pick up controllers for every movement or menu action you wanna make)
acoustic parrot
They would have to rework a lot of stuff for it
gusty bolt
All you’d have to do is switch the control inputs, no?
woeful cypress
Switch controls?
If you have bare hand's that you're tracking and wanna have moving in the game aswell, how are you gonna interface?
like walk, rotate, jump, use the menu?
acoustic parrot
Only way i see it working which wouldn't be fun if it is like a control scheme to where you are mostly doing everything irl too like when you jump it makes you jump in game and you physically have to walk around. but menu idk how it would work since I've never seen any handtracking games or demos actually give the fingers any commands in games and usually just use handtracking just to pick things up but I could be wrong
gusty bolt
Hmm, you bring up some good points with walking and jumping. The menus would be easy though; you’d just make an👌 sign on the left hand to open the VRChat menu, and a 👌 sign on the right to open your oculus menu.
Same as on the most hand-tracking games...
Not sure how the gesture menu would work though...Maybe you just wire the 👌 sign into the y button slot so that if you make the sign briefly; it triggers the VRC menu, but if you hold it it opens the gesture menu.
acoustic parrot
I think it would be an okay idea to implement if quest gets big enough due to it soon going to be the only oculus headset being released as it seems and if hand tracking is more fine tuned
woeful cypress
"just 👌" is easy said
acoustic parrot
I think hand tracking needs a lot more work before it actually becomes a worthwhile thing
woeful cypress
You gotta detect it with enough precission that everyone can hit it consistently, but also with enough leeway that it doesnt accidentally trigger all the time
(And ofc you will not be able to make that gesture in game cus it will trigger the game action, your hands basically become "controllers" limiting the freedom down in some degree.)
gusty bolt
That’s why they have it trigger after a countdown timer in the oculus menu ⏲️ (I think it’s like 1.5s) , so that you don’t accidentally trigger it.
woeful cypress
what timer?
acoustic parrot
Issue is too that you can't move fast with hand tracking
gusty bolt
True, there are sacrifices, and like fbt, it won’t be for everyone. I have massive hands, so I’ve never had any problems with it.
acoustic parrot
and its kinda not gonna work as well in a good chunk of avatars because some avatars don't have finger bones, how would they make that work? if they disabled the feature when there's an avatar like that then It kinda makes the hand tracking useless
And the framerate of the hand tracking too is really low compared to the tracking of controllers so everything would feel really slow and clunky till more updates are pushed out for it
gusty bolt
Humanoid avatars require at least 3 two-jointed fingers. IK is severely broken without that. One way to do this would be for VRChat to write to whatever finger bones are there, and ignore any input data for those that aren’t.
But to your point, I think it would be fine to only allow hand-tracking on rigs that are set up for it...That’s how full-body tracking works now; it only works well on avatars that are properly optimized.
acoustic parrot
At that end too though at least for the moment it'd be too niche of a thing to just add to only the oculus quest version of the game since that's the only thing that would support it unless oculus brings hand tracking support to pc
If oculus did that then maybe it'd be worthwhile to look into it since it would be a feature that more people would be able to use
gusty bolt
I think they might be waiting to see what modders to with it before they try any sort of official implementation.
As someone mentioned, you can get it to work with the link cable (a bit thugishly).
acoustic parrot
Maybe, I don't really think oculus cares much for the feature though other then as a gimic to get some gullible people to buy in
You cant get it to work through a link cable, they were talking about virtual desktop
Oculus link has no functionality with hand tracking
acoustic parrot
Virtual desktop kind of works? but only for moving your arms and that's about it
acoustic parrot
yes and no
It pretty much "replaces" the controllers but its not meant to be used in games at all
gusty bolt
So your hands become clubs?
acoustic parrot
Yup
gusty bolt
Can you trigger any controls?
acoustic parrot
The only use of handtracking in virtual desktop is for using your actual desktop and well kinda? basically virtual desktop like how the oculus menu does is it will just bind some buttons to pinch and such other things
gusty bolt
I see...
acoustic parrot
Most I ever got it to do was rock and roll but it wasn't very comfortable
The thing I'm most interested in is how the new touch sensor on the quest 2 controllers is gonna be used in games
gusty bolt
Touch sensor?
acoustic parrot
For vrchat it replaces touching the sensor that's on the trigger making pointing feel a bit more natural
and yeah they added a new one to the quest 2 controllers where the thumb rest is at
Its not as good however as the ones on everything else like the buttons since for vrchat it frequently makes my hands lock up
gusty bolt
Damn, I’ve had a quest 2 for a month and I never noticed.
acoustic parrot
I've seen some people say they can't get it to work while others I know can so not sure really
I just got mine on friday and it was weird to get used to but I like how I can point more naturally now
But from what I know it only works on the quest version of vrchat cause I know people who use the quest 2 on pc and say that the new sensor does nothing on the pc platform
gusty bolt
I have a Mac, so I can’t run the PC version...😿

hello, i was wondering how people adjust the height of their avatar to rise a certain level above the ground? This would be so useful for writing things
steep crescent
It's called playspace mover and is a SteamVR Feature
gusty bolt
If you’re on Quest, you can fake it (to a degree) by putting your player height absurdly low.
It’ll mess up your menus though.

hey guys, i have a small problem. with my quest 2, I enabled hand tracking for a short while to try it but since it didnt work on VRchat, i turned it off. Now, every time i return to VRchat my hands won't do any gestures, they just stand still. controller still works.
has anyone had or solved this problem?
haughty coyote
my friend had this same problem @rugged locust He said something about calibrating it or something? he said he does it every time he logs on or some shit
He said it would fix hand problems
I dont know how he does it

Virtual desktop, quest 2 , pcvr version vr chat.
but every other game works fine
chrome socket
i'm sure this has been asked before, and I think i know what the answer will be, but if i connected say an oculus quest or oculus quest 2 to my computer to use VR link on there, would the headset default to using the computer's power in order to process the video? would that allow me to see effects on avatars like dynamic bones and other special effects like most other shaders?
chrome socket
oh really? so the quest specs only come into play when using it independently?
woeful cypress
It's pretty simple.
You open the world tab though the quick menu and then you have a few different cathegories to choose from.
Pick a world that seems interesting and you see the instance page, you can click [ GO ] on there. 
queen karma
it does not work tho...

you should pick a different place then this channel, this channel is called #quest-general because this is the place for people using the oculus quest or quest2, which does not need a PC.

#vrchat-general-2 or #vrchat-support would probably be better
queen karma
ok

i was thinking of getting an oculus quest 2, but i want to be able to see all the effects of people's avatars without having to sacrifice quality because of the processor of the quest not being able to handle it. As per the answer given earlier, just to make sure I understand properly, i can connect the quest, either 1 or 2, and it will allow me to use the headset basically as a vr monitor using my PC's power to run the game, allowing me to see all the effects as if i were playing on PC or a rift S correct?
manic sail
yes, as long as your PC meets the Rift S requirements
that's how most people play VRChat those days
check that
chrome socket
awesome, thanks for the help!

Hey guys, I was wondering if the Quest 2 still has all the same limitations on VRChat as the original Quest does. Namely, not being able to see peoples' avatars because they're incompatible. I heard it was a problem and that Quest users had to have different avatars than other users. Is that still an issue? Also, if not, then what are the biggest differences between the Rift S and the Quest 2?
jagged trench
yes a performs the same as the quest one as far as what avatars you can see using it in quest mode that problem is unlikely to ever go away as even if they did up the limits you would still need to upload for the quest because it's an arm processor whereas PC avatars are on x86
and I doubt they're going to change the Avatar limits as they would want better performance for the Quest 2
not take those performance gains away immediately by upping the limit
jagged heath
Does anyone know how well the hand tracking works on the Quest 2? I need to make sure I can sign with my hands
jagged trench
you cannot use hand tracking on vrchat on the quest
fast yoke
As a mute, not having hand tracking is okay because I just use basic signs for basic things. Like if I want to say that my headset is dying, I just do the sign for die and point at my face. It’s worked most of the time

@narrow jetty yes. This is because the reason you can’t see it isn’t because it’s not powerful enough it’s because it’s an android operating system, so it can’t render content compiled for windows. Creators need to also compile it for android and they don’t do that very often
haughty coyote
anyone else having issues with vrchat's load times with virtual desktop (infinite loading)
woeful cypress
if you use virtual desktop you should ask in the PC related channels.
Try clearing the cache as a first step.
acoustic parrot
Sounds more like a pc problem then a virtual desktop issue anyways considering that virtual desktop doesn't have much to do with load times of games
rugged locust
@rugged locust @haughty coyote You guys have your gestures disabled. Re-enable them on the wheel menu.
@obsidian zealot
Thank you, this solved the issue 💪
viral kettle
If you use ALVR and stream wireless to your pc you can emulate a Index controller with the built in hand tracking. So it is possible, But its obviously a lot worse than an Index controller, because you need to keep your hands in front of your face pretty much all the time for it to track properly. And you have to do slow movements etc.
obsidian zealot
Do you have a guide on that working, @viral kettle ? I keep seeing people say it is possible but I do not see any YouTube tutorials showing it as possible
viral kettle
I do not have a guide, but first of all you have to set up ALVR on your headset and PC. For that you can definitely find guides, like on the download page. https://github.com/polygraphene/ALVR
And after you set it up you have to set "Simulated/Emulated Controller" to Valve index controllers
in the settings. And if you have that on, and open SteamVR, and enable finger tracking in your quest, it should work. The controlls are a bit weird tho, didnt really find out how to move etc with my fingers

okay so I am thinking about getting the quest 2. My concern is the compatibility issues with VR Chat and worlds/avatars. Can I overcome these issues just by plugging the Quest 2 into my PC? I'm debating between the quest 2 and a rift S given compatibility issues n stuff and would really appreciate some help
static gazelle
wish i had people to drink with on vrchat LMAO
acoustic parrot
@opaque siren Yes, quest 2 is a standalone and a pcvr headset so essentially you are paying for two headsets in one, only issue with quest 2 is the short cable which you most likely will want to swap out for a longer one for vr and you will have to come to terms that daddy zucc is getting more of your info
I'd highly recommend a quest 2 if you are not put off by those two things
opaque siren
thanks guys!!

oculus quest 2 just released a 90Hz update. does it work for VR Chat?
tawdry wyvern
With the quest content that people upload for the quest. 90 hz won't be achievable
quartz cargo
I'm sure it can depending on what content is loaded.
blazing sparrow
No. In some worlds, on my own, I still only get 60. In the Quest 2, with an extremely optimised avatar.
acoustic parrot
I did testing on my own pre 90hz update launch and it does work, however its not useful in most situations other then when you are in a world alone or in a world with maybe two or three people max
However do not take this as me saying it will work out of the box, there's extra stuff you need to do at your own risk and honestly it only is nice if you are hanging out by yourself
It also makes my avatars gitter a lot on my end
I think a 90hz update would be fine as long as it doesn't cause any issues and its something that you can turn on and off for performance in VRChat cause with everything I've messed around in for the past week of owning my quest 2 nothing is broken or breaks due to 90hz, then again I am only one person and I can't speak for issues others may have

do i HAVE to use my vrchat account for the quest 2 or can i just use my steam login?

You cant login with Steam on Quest. You'll need to migrate to a full VRChat account if you didn't already
unique lily
how do you do that?
im just hoping to port all my data from steam to a vrchat acc
if it's something to do with Program Files (86) i can probably wrap my head around it
acoustic parrot
You need to go to your settings and click on upgrade account @unique lily
It will give you a code to enter on the vrc home website and you will then proceed to make an account for vrc and then go to link and add that code you have Into the appropriate spot and it will link your accounts
It will/may take some time for it to transfer everything over completely

Quest 2 mic is fine, some PC games don't echo-cancel it properly though
if you want to use an open mic on PC vrchat, you'll need earbuds or you'll echo everyone

The only way to fix it without virtual desktop would be a noise suppression app
And heck even with headphones my stuff leaks into the mic
I dunno why oculus bungled up the mic though, the quest 1 mic worked fined with cutting out background audio

acoustic parrot
Hello
eager vigil
can anyone talk on vrchat?
acoustic parrot
What do you mean by that? Can others talk in VrChat or are you asking for people to hang out with?
eager vigil
yeah kinda but i know how to unmute myself
i have the same problem on discord where i cant talk
is it cause i dont have a input?
acoustic parrot
Are you using the pc version of VrChat?
eager vigil
im using my brothers pc
its a really old one
it was from 9 or 10 years ago if im right
acoustic parrot
Oh this isn't the correct place to ask that but I will help you nonetheless, you will need a mic and then you will have to go into the settings of VrChat and set your mic to the one you are currently using
eager vigil
my headphones have a mic the one im using right now
acoustic parrot
Does the mic work on other things or no?
eager vigil
no
acoustic parrot
You might just have to set it to the right output for discord and VRChat
acoustic parrot
You will have to find out what the mic is named on your pc and then switch to it on both VRChat and discord
eager vigil
how do i do that? sorry
my headphones are gaming
and its from blackweb if im right
acoustic parrot
Well for finding the mic name you will have to go into the sound settings of your pc but if you want to make it easier go into the discord settings and go to voice and video settings and go to where it says input device and you can just try all of the inputs from there till you find the one that works
It has a mic test button too
Just try them all till you hear yourself
eager vigil
oh
i dont have a input
my brothers pc doesnt have a input device on it
thats why i assume my mic doesn't work @acoustic parrot
eager vigil
i dont get what you mean really-
acoustic parrot
Can you plug your headphones in?
eager vigil
my headphones are plugged in the monitor
eager vigil
they are plugged in
eager vigil
i dont know how to do that
acoustic parrot
You should have an audio port somewhere on the pc just like your monitor to where you plug the headphones into it
eager vigil
oh
i guess ill try that later but do you wanna play vrchat with me? i'm really bored
acoustic parrot
As much as I would like to say yes I am working on stuff so I will sadly have to decline @eager vigil
eager vigil
ah its ok

@haughty coyote Are you on quest or pc?

So I've had a Quest 1 for five months... And just got the 2 in the mail yesterday (!!🥳). I have a gaming laptop and using Oculus Link, I have been able to run any vr chat world just fine. And yet, trying to use VRChat with my Quest 2 linked, the performance is unusably DREADFUL. Is this a known bug? Any ideas?

So I figured I'd ask here, since I'm seriously looking at getting a headset today. However, the big headset I'm looking at is either the Oculus Quest 2 or the Rift S. How is the Quest 2, especially with running VRchat in either mobile or PC mode?

mobile can be laggy, but works perfect almost all the time
and pc mode always runs good if you have a good pc

Yeah, I have a pretty high end PC so that's what I was curious about. I mostly want the mobile for when I'm at my partner's house. Otherwise it'll be fully hooked up.

Hey can anyone explain to me why only some VRChat models work on Quest? Like what's the actual reasoning behind that, I forgot

Quest cant do everything pc can and it is on a different build of unity as well

hello
i got quest 1 yesterday
the img being blurry is natural?
tried even in vrchat the text are all blurry like toggle,mirror,hold etc
violet lodge
Are you sure you have adjusted the headset properly?
dry relic
i looked it up how to wear it properly it got worse xD
bronze glade
dry relic
so the texts in vrchat should be clear in the quest?
violet lodge
Really depends on the definition of "clear"
dry relic
mine is unreadable
stuck raptor
I got the update 23, Saxony germany.
violet lodge
@dry relic might want to try experimenting around with the ipd
Or even just sliding the headset around your face to see where it clears up
violet lodge
@dry relic though another question are you nearsighted?
dry relic
ya but i'm wearing glasses
violet lodge
Okay just making sure since some people might assume that you shouldn't wear glasses with the headset
dry relic
nah i wear them with the quest on

if someone has developer mode problems, hit me up on pm
I have found a trick how to activate it
crude nacelle
Just downloaded vrchat update now it says i need to update my quest
What's the current quest version?
stuck raptor
@crude nacelle version 23.
It's rolling out since 13th November, it'll take a whole week to roll out to any quest 1 and 2 user.

hi
obsidian zealot
Some people just expect VR to be sharper than it currently is
The quest 1 is the lower resolution of the two but it’s pretty standard as far as where vr resolution is right now.
If it’s not good enough for you yet I guess just wait for technology to improve
tough niche
also if you are wearing glasses i think the quest comes with a spacer to put between your glasses and the headset

Quest 2 will be getting more support then rift s but you also will have to give more info to facebook
New controllers are nice, you will also have to get a longer cord
obsidian zealot
Rift S will require Facebook eventually as well. Just not until 2022

actually doesn't require a Facebook right now if you're making a new account Rift S

@jagged trench yeah. Not now. 2022 is the deadline. Then oculus accounts can’t be used at all
Anyone who didn’t merge a Facebook account will get locked out until they do
blazing sparrow
actually doesn't require a Facebook right now if you're making a new account Rift S
@jagged trench I'm pretty sure to set up any NEW oculus headset now, you have to use a facebook account, but if you have one already set up, you don't need to have facebook

am i the only one that has the issue on quest where big avatars don't work properly on mirrors? half the time they disappear completely
haughty coyote
Can you get a camera on quest?
meager night
Don't know if this has been addressed yet, but while using the quest 2 with the link cable, when I take pictures with the camera, the outline of my controllers are still visible. I dont know is this a mistake on my end or if it happens to others as well?

No camera on Quest

hi
on the quest2 have wifi issues?
sometimes randomly my home wifi disapear for the oculus
and i have to remove it from the phone and reconnect
i have the quest 2 so is different
steep crescent
That's a problem which is at least not common
hardy solstice
Anyone know if you have to get a cable to hook up to a pc to stream on oculus quest 2
steep crescent
You can also use Virtual Desktop ($20 on Oculus Store) or use ALVR (free but doesn't work as well as Virtual Desktop in my experience and is a bit harder to set up)
hardy solstice
Thank you 😊
acoustic parrot
I'll add on that and say you need pretty good wifi for both of those options though
obsidian zealot
I have crap wifi and it was ok

Will the quest have cameras for the VRchat+?

does anyone know if i buy a link for my quest 2, will i be able to use pc worlds and see pc avatars?
proper igloo
Hey so I have this issue where if I m playing linked and using steam VR, oculus link version of the game works just fine, I get every few minutes 5fps that last anywhere between 5secs-2 mins. The game just goes from steady decent fps to 5 and it s really unplayable. Anyone else encountered this issue?
marble marsh
I have, but it was solved for me as soon as I reinstalled the game
young wyvern
Is it true you can get your quest 2 bricked for being on a world playing music due to “copyright infringement”?
steep crescent
Uh what? No lol, that would be illegal to brick your device just because a game played licensed music.
young wyvern
Someone posted an annonymous claim that it happened to him, not saying its true (most likely not) but since it does happen to beat saber then idk
steep crescent
I don't really understand, what happened with Beat Saber? I modded that game with Custom songs and no problems.
young wyvern
I have read on an article that custom beat saber maps would subject the quest owner to copyright infrigment and a device bricked
I guess its something that only time will tell, the facebook requirement and quest 2 are too recent for mass bans on games to be rolling
But would be nice to have some clarification from either facebook or vrc about it, for now I'll stay the hell away from the quest 2
shell canyon
@hidden oar Yeah but the PC you're hooking it up to must be strong enough to run VR and VRChat
steep crescent
@young wyvern it says that to be able to ban pirates of games. Modding Beat Saber on Quest is a common thing and you need to own the game. It adds availability for custom songs which the PC version has by default.
There is no case known of someone who got banned just because of that
young wyvern
Yeah so far I found no topics on that matter so I'll just wait a few more months before I buy a new headset
fallow patio
If someone got banned for modding BS, there would be HUGE backlash to Facebook. I dont see them banning anyone at all even if it technically breaks ToS
It's just far to common for them to start issuing bans tbh
haughty coyote
How do I get the VRChat+ Beta kinda not getting how to download it
steep crescent
On Quest i don't think you can
charred plinth
For any Quest 2 users, I had to RMA my Index recently so I've been dealing with the Quest 2 for about a month now. Is there ANY way to get that link cable a little more tightly onto the port on the side of the HMD? Mine falls off constantly just by a smidge and I lose tracking with OpenVR Calibrator all the time because of it. I have a strap holding the cable to the plastic adjustable piece on the side but it doesn't seem like it's enough. I'm currently using the Oculus' Link cable 'cause I didn't realize any USB C was supported now.
haughty coyote
On Quest i don't think you can
I saw on and it was really well made

obsidian zealot
does anyone know if i buy a link for my quest 2, will i be able to use pc worlds...
Yes, that’s how it works. You don’t need the official one either, you can get them for 16 dollars or so from any electronics store or amazon
acoustic parrot
I need to get a way longer cord soon, I caved in and got a 6ft which is longer for quest 2 but its still too short

alright quick question, any way to remove the limitations of avatars on Quest 2 version of VR Chat?

I have a Oculus Quest and I have trouble verifying my voice sound quality through the microphone, when I use a USB-C to USB-C (3.0) link cable and run it as a PCVR I can't get my voice to work at all, when I run my Quest as standalone I can talk to folk but when I record a video it do not record my voice. Any tips or suggestion what to do and test?

Hello everyone. I am in need of some help. Im having an Issue on quest. I Just created a world and for some reason quest users can only see out of one eye. Ive made like 4 different worlds including a Quest only world and All end up the same way and all they have is a platform and a spawn point. Any ideas?
tawdry wyvern
Switch plateform with unity not the sdk
Be sure to use mobile shader. As for the sky as example
Assign a new reference camera in the wolrd descriptor

@timid sun When i had that bug all i did was go to a different world it's probably a bug where the left/right eye doesn't load in correctly

can someone send me a link of a link cable for the rift? I'm looking at mixed reviews on some on amazon and dont know which to buy

im using virtual desktop with quest, and its working, but it doesnt detect my mic, and I can hear everything like the world on steamvr but not in VRChat if that makes sense, can someone help with this issue.

I'm not sure if there is a mic button in the oculus settings, but maybe look for it.
@haughty coyote

my mic works on VRchat on normal quest if thats what ur asking.

Is the absurd amount of crashing going to be fixed next update?

@haughty coyote you need to go into the virtual desktop settings on the quest and enable mic passthrough
Turn on noise cancellation as well

I use a Oculus Quest with a Link-Cable and I wanted to test VRC+, so I read in the #open-beta-info that I should "3. In Details, click Version, then OpenBeta.", but that option is not working for me, there is nothing to click on to take me to the "OpenBeta", what did I do wrong?
Sorry for the poor grammar.
pastel agate
Beta isn't available for Oculus, it's only on Steam
haughty coyote
so my laptop has a 3.2 Type C port which is unfortunately connected to the integrated graphics
If I were to buy a quest 2 and connect it via oculus link I'd need it to be connected to the discrete GPU, correct?
is there anything I can do about it or can I not connect the quest 2 as pcvr?

You are trying to by a cheap link cable??
I thought it was USB C to USB c
mental hinge
Has anyone else had an issue with drift ONLY in VRChat? Every other game works just fine, but VRC causes sticks to drift for no reason
steep crescent
It's probably your controller. I don't get this and people i play with don't have this problem either.
mental hinge
See, I thought it was my controller too, but I cannot replicate the issue in any other game.
steep crescent
It will depend on other games. Every game has different deadzone settings. My Switch controllers are drifting as fuck, but how strong that is depends on the game i play. In some games it won't even trigger controls through drift at all but the stick is drifting, even if you don't notice it.
You might try to get a software that shows the actual inputs of the stick. There you'll be able to see if it's really software related, which i suspect since i hear this the first time for VRChat on Quest, or if it's hardware related in which case i recommend to claim warranty on that controller.
obsidian zealot
The official link cable
1.) is overpriced
2.) is kinda short
3.) has like a 50% chance of your microphone not initializing whenever you start Oculus Link
Meanwhile the 17 dollar one I got on amazon is twice as long and the mic always works the first time
haughty coyote
Does anyone know all the stuff I need to set up an oculus quest 2
Like sensors n stuff
obsidian zealot
Like sensors n stuff
You need
1.) The Oculus Quest 2
That’s all. It does not use sensors. If you want to play the PC version, you’ll need a USBC cable to connect it to the PC, and a gaming PC.
haughty coyote
Woah I thought you would that’s amazing
Thanks for helping I would’ve bought sensors being a dumbass 😂

NP! VR is new to most people, and all the headsets work differently, it’s understandable
