vrchat and vrchat discord is 13+

lime spade
#

So I got a quick question,

#

My desktop can run Vrchat & the processor is Intel Core i5-4570 CPU, would I be able to connect my Quest 2 im gonna get to the desktop just for VRchat?

acoustic parrot
#

Does it have a gpu?

lime spade
acoustic parrot
#

No if it only has graphics from the cpu

lime spade
#

I believe so

lime spade
acoustic parrot
#

Then no you can't do that, you'll need a vr ready gpu

lime spade
spice light
#

you can use the link for steam vr games right? like if i wanted to play vrchat on my pc with the quest?

haughty coyote
#

Yep!

spice light
#

okay thats awesome! what do you think is better? rift s or quest 2?

haughty coyote
#

Well I get the Quest 2 this Thursday so I can answer that for sure, but going off of my experience with the Rift S, I wouldn't recommend it. Rift S is being discontinued in I think Spring 2021 anyway

spice light
#

ah okay. i was looking at both bc theyre both the same amount but im more towards the quest 2 anyways

haughty coyote
#

Oh were you looking at the 256GB?

spice light
#

no. i searched the rift s and it came up for 300

haughty coyote
#

Ohh

#

You get better resolution with the Quest 2 if that convinces you :P

spice light
#

yeah but ive heard things about the fov too. not too worried because the only "vr" ive experienced was my phone in a little heaset lmfao

haughty coyote
#

I've heard nothing about the FOV, I'd have to check that out

spice light
#

i heard something about the black bars on the side being a bit more noticeable

#

and lens fogging up more but that doesnt really seem like an issue

haughty coyote
#

Somehow I think the second one is more because of personal reasons, but I dunno

spice light
#

yea. im getting the quest soon so im excited

haughty coyote
#

Same!

#

I got mine before it sold out at Best Buy so I'm hoping it gets here on like Wednesday (it says Thursday, it hurts to read that xD)

spice light
#

imma add you so we can play sometime haha

haughty coyote
#

Ehh, it's all good, I actually cleared some friends that I haven't played much with soooo yeah

spice light
#

which headset did you get at bestbuy

steep crescent
#

I heard about that issue with the black bars too

spice light
#

i think its only noticeable for higher ipd adjustments

steep crescent
#

But a lot of people were able to fix it by using the glass thing which you get with the Quest 2.

spice light
#

which glass thing?

steep crescent
#

Well I'm on the lowest IPD so i would be fine lol

#

If you wear glasses while using VR

#

That thing

spice light
#

ahhhh okay

steep crescent
#

But I've a Quest 1, so I'm not affected anyways

spice light
#

are you thinking about upgrading?

steep crescent
#

Not yet. There is not that much benefit i would get besides the resolution.

spice light
#

is the refresh rate different?

steep crescent
#

72 to 90hz

spice light
#

thats on the quest 1 too?

steep crescent
#

No Quest has 72hz

#

But i don't get that much anyways with my PC currently, so also not beneficial to me until i upgrade the PC first

spice light
#

ah okay makes sense

haughty coyote
summer hornet
#

guys what's best quest 2 or rift s?

modest tiger
#

Quest 2

#

much cheaper

latent willow
#

they are same price now

#

rift s dropped £100 3 days ago

#

After my research it looks like quest 2 is better . Quest 2 you can use virtaul desktop totally wireless and use your pc from anywhere. Quest 2 is also best of both worlds with link and most of the bad coments about quest were from b4 link came out of beta.

#

The controller Is meant to be much better too on the quest2 and the quest can track hands too without needing controllers

haughty coyote
#

yeah, quest 2 has finger tracking. would be awesome if vrchat supports it

modest tiger
#

It does if you use VD or ALVR (Full Finger Tracking Index Emulation) if ran with a PC...

smoky snow
#

also quest 2 can handle vr chat alot better than the default one from what i heard

golden sparrow
#

hello

mystic whale
#

Anybody want to film a video with me?

spice light
#

i would but dont have my quest yet. want to in the future?

mystic whale
#

Sure

mystic whale
#

Hey anyone want to film a video

smoky snow
#

what is the diffrences with the robots with a vrcStop sign on them and the Non compatable (kinda know what that means) robot avatars?

mystic whale
#

The robot avatar has the body components like arms legs the other one is a floating head with a chest and hands it’s just because you can’t see them due to the limitations on quest and quest 2

smoky snow
#

oh

#

but dosent the quest 2 have more power

haughty coyote
#

More than the Quest, but it's still limited

tender mauve
#

Anyone here down for some hangman or Pictionary?

acoustic parrot
# smoky snow but dosent the quest 2 have more power

It's not about power, VrChat on pc is using a different build of unity then VrChat on quest does. If someone doesn't port their avatar to quest then that means quest can't see it and the same the other way around with someone on quest not porting their avatar to pc

smoky snow
#

vrcThinking i wonder if they'll ever make a feature when uploading avtars there's an automatic coverting process.

tall remnant
#

doubt it, especially with the shader and performance requirements being different for quest and pc

smoky snow
#

o u c h

#

i mean, i can live with just seeing select avatars

#

its not the end of the world.

safe coyote
#

there's been an issue going around that I need to talk about. Does anyone know where I can talk about it?

tall remnant
#

hard to say with zero idea what you might be talking about

safe coyote
#

There's been an issue where people are able to rip people's private avatars from their account and make it their own.

tall remnant
#

its been discussed a lot (in here) from what ive seen, if you have something constructive i would post it somewhere the devs can actually see it - which is nowhere in discord afaik

#

imo theres no way of stopping it, even if all the gaps in vrchat is plugged. anyone with a graphics debugger or uses any of the unity decompilation tools available can easily grab your avatar and recreate if they wish

mystic whale
#

Does anyone roleplay on VRChat?

smoky snow
#

not that i know of no.

fallow adder
mystic whale
#

Ok

haughty coyote
#

Guess I cant play vrchat on quest 1 anymore. Anytime I join I get stuck in the floor

#

Should I uninstall it and try reinstalling?

#

My menu opens up very far away and I can barely move

#

I can go through portals

lime storm
#

yo

haughty coyote
#

Yeah*

acoustic parrot
acoustic parrot
haughty coyote
#

Are you running the Quest 2 without a Link cable?

#

Because that would be why

latent willow
#

Yeah quest 2 can run vrchat 2 different ways. One stand alone running on its internal OS with shader limitations. Two using the link cable and vr chat installed on pc so using your pcs OS cpu gpu so then the limitations same as your pc and all shaders avatars etc should work.

hi guys

#

how do u get custom avatars on the quest

steep crescent
#

You'll either have someone to make one for you or make one yourself with Unity/Blender

haughty coyote
steep crescent
#

Their is also a do it yourself variant

#

Is it true that I can't see any pc avatars with my quest 2? Because I see these colorful robots with their avatar icon on it, but not the avatar itself

haughty coyote

#

any1 know where i can find an Attack on Titan avatar thats pc/quest compatible

fallen sentinel
#

i got the quest like 2 days ago but im still confused why i cant see some avatars and why i see some "educate me" ;-;

haughty coyote
#

If you don't have a Link cable (or a PC powerful enough to run VRC with the Link cable, as it would be using your PC), VRC runs off the Quest 2's hardware. Yes, it's more powerful than the OG Quest, but it still has its limitations. It can only do so much while being wireless.

fallen sentinel
haughty coyote
# fallen sentinel omg tyyyy

You're welcome! There is a program that gives you a wireless alternative without the Quest's limits, but I don't know if it would still be dependent on PC specs, I'd assume it would be

Using my replacement strap today

obsidian zealot
#

Man every day I see multiple people breaking their straps

shut flame
tender portal
#

Mine only broke after 2 months

#

I somehow overtighten when putting it away

#

The rest of the time it was fine

obsidian zealot
#

Sounds like it’s just poorly made

#

It’s a shame, oculus used to make the most quality headset (CV1) they really cheaped out on materials with Quest 2

#

Specs are nice but cheap materials

tender portal
#

I mean it's true, the strap was alright but it needed a stronger tab on the side. It just one straight piece of plastic

obsidian zealot
#

Idk they ALL break on the left

tender portal
#

Hmm interesting

#

I also thought it may have been stress from headphones but I used earplugs instead

#

But thank God people actually have a good base to make custom straps like this one of mine

blissful burrow
#

and the quest has low graphics and some more stuff

obsidian zealot
#

I know it’s crazy. I sold my used quest 1 and got enough money for a brand new quest 2 and had money left over

#

No idea why people are paying so much for used quest 1’s

blissful burrow
#

idk

#

i don't have the original quest or quest 2 but i might get quest 2 for xmas

acoustic parrot

Could be peeps with old oculus accounts

crisp ether
#

I believe you can sign in to an old Oculus account on Quest 1

#

The Quest 1 setup doesn't force Facebook in the app

obsidian zealot
#

You can, but I doubt many people would be downgrading from cv1

crisp ether
#

Only Quest 2, if you're already signed in

obsidian zealot
#

If you don’t have an oculus account already you gotta sign in with Facebook even on quest 1

acoustic parrot
#

Coolest thing happened in my world a few days ago and I wasn't even aware till today

crisp ether
# obsidian zealot If you don’t have an oculus account already you gotta sign in with Facebook even...

Yeah. That's the sucky thing. Before October you could create an account without a headset, in order to be grandfathered in, but Quest 2 requires Facebook anyways.
—
Anybody notice visual issues after the most recent update? All the worlds I visit the textures are glitching out, and in some worlds models and structures don't load until I'm right in front of them. It wasn't doing this beforehand. – I'm on a Quest 2, btw.

acoustic parrot
#

Hm weird I haven't been on quest vrc in a few days and it logged me out

crisp ether
#

I also noticed textures are really low quality, even in "Quest optimized" worlds. They have text on them, but i sure as heck can't read them.

obsidian zealot
#

Yeah I feel like whoever bought my used quest 1 was thinking they were going to avoid Facebook or something. Rip them

#

I just set the price everyone else was setting and someone bought it

#

I just set the price everyone else was setting and someone bought it

acoustic parrot
crisp ether
# obsidian zealot I just set the price everyone else was setting and someone bought it

Yeah the Quest 1 is fair sub $200, but otherwise you might as well get a 2, unless you created an Oculus account already and are willing to pay to avoid Facebook 100%. — Scalpers kinda ruined the Quest 1 market (and I think Facebook used it to their advantage, since Quest 2 is way more readily come by). I'm still seeing them for $300+ on various marketplaces.

crisp ether
obsidian zealot
#

Mine sold for 370 used but it included the official link cable and case.

crisp ether
obsidian zealot
#

It was just after Q2 release so the Q1 prices had not nosedived yet

acoustic parrot
sand whale
# tender portal

You might contact Oculus about that. There is a known defect with the add-on straps which is why they stopped supplying them right after Quest launched.

haughty coyote
tender portal
#

Yeah I already know there are logs about it. But I kept track of vr news to get this replacement for now

blissful burrow
#

quest 2 is my fav headset i never got ever

tender portal
#

What have you got currently?

blissful burrow
#

psvr

#

but i might get it for xmas

tender portal
#

Do it, it's well worth

#

Plus you can use full body with vive trackers too

#

But for the love of God, do get a link cable hahah

acoustic parrot
#

Don't get the official one tho cause it's expensive

tender portal
#

Yeah you can get a much longer one on Amazon easy

blissful burrow
#

i dont have a pc or powered laptop

tender portal
#

Big rip

blissful burrow
#

but might save up or not

tender portal
#

All g to play quest by itself, but generally better on a gaming PC plus more variety of games to access

blissful burrow
#

i have a mac and a windows 7 laptop

tender portal
#

Yeah nah, I wouldn't dare attaching it to a normal laptop or laptop in general.

blissful burrow
#

ok

#

theres a cube pc

tender portal
#

I mainly say this as pcvr uses alot of your computer performance. And trust me, if you haven't got a decent setup your gonna bottleneck hard

blissful burrow
#

its already unavailible

tender portal
#

I'd ask them what NVIDIA card they are using and how much ram

blissful burrow
#

theres a acer laptop on best buy

tender portal
#

It's still a laptop wheeze

blissful burrow
novel rose
#

How’s it going guys

tender portal
#

Yeah, it's a laptop. Pretty much a toaster when used long period of time. Plus you'll need a USB C port

blissful burrow
#

might get a 3rd party link then

tender portal
#

Power supply is important. And external cards don't usually help that

blissful burrow
#

ok

tender portal
#

Plus, a laptop uses a battery. Imagine a headset charging off another battery that requires it's battery to run everything else

#

You see my point yet?

blissful burrow
#

yes i charge my laptop first then i play vr on pc

tender portal
#

That's not the point lmao

blissful burrow
#

i get your point

#

i dont get laptop and pc

tender portal
#

You can play it by itself, but of want more vr access and performance, your gonna need a desktop PC. Not a laptop

blissful burrow
#

ok

#

too expensive but fine

tender portal
#

Vr has always been expensive if you want the most out of it

#

It is what it is

haughty coyote
#

*Gaming has always been expensive

#

I updated my PC internal parts at one point for the same price as the Quest 2

tender portal
#

Too true

#

Funny though, the stock PC link with my Q2 pre-order and head strap equaled the the rift s price lmao

blissful burrow
#

might save up then and replace my mac

tender portal
#

Good idea

blissful burrow
#

if my parents allow it

#

hey @gentle path

crisp ether
#

yeah no VRChat is runing like a potato after last update. It frequently freezes, causing the program to "window" (the game no longer tracks, causing the application borders to become visible, within a black void. - assuming this is quest behavior, as the immersive menu is still accessible, and head tracking still works "in the void" itself, just not in the game.)

#

It resolves before i can get a screenshot however.

blissful burrow
#

ok

crisp ether
#

@blissful burrow A quest can play VRChat, but creators have to upload their worlds and avatars specifically for quest (limitation of the framework, not VRChat, per se), and avatars have limits to keep the platform from crashing. As a result you'll have a more limited experience, depending on what you want. A lot of VRChat games (Among Us VR, Murder, etc.) are available for Quest, but a lot of popular worlds, and most of your conventions, are not.

A gaming laptop would be able to play over link cable, possibly, with the right GPU. However, as it is a laptop, it has a lower thermal footprint, which means it will get hot faster, and the fans will be loud for a computer. You would also need a USB 3.0/3.1/SS port, and a USB 3.0 [or] 3.1 rated USB-C to USB-A cable (or just a USB 3.1 rated USB-C cable if the machine has USB-C 3.1 ports.).

As for GPU, a machine needs a minimum of a Nvidia GTX 960 or AMD R9 290, with a recommended minimum of a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 470, in order to work over Rift Link. It will also need Windows 10 and a minimum of 8GB RAM.

As far as Mac, what Mac machine do you have? It may be possible to make it work with VRChat using bootcamp, and some more affordable upgrades, but it's dependent on the machine.

In all, a Quest 2 would be good for on the go gaming, console style VR, and light VRChat use. You don't need PCVR in order to get good use out of it. But if you want all VRChat has to offer, until/unless the devs find a way around Unity limitations, you'll need PCVR.

—

It's holding stable now on my headset. It seems like maybe it was just a temporary issue? I haven't tried some of the previously glitchy worlds though... hopefully it holds.

Hey guys so my quest 2 is having problems with a black screen and connecting. I have a oculus link cable and when I turn on my quest 2 and go to rift the screen is black but I can hear audio and I touch things and open games but its a black screen. Also everytime I try launching rift it just sends me to the main home and says headset was not found and I have a 3.0 adapter and everything worked smoothly before so I dont know what happened

crisp ether

exotic escarp
#

it isnt

crisp ether
#

Hmmm. Perhaps ask in the non quest section? Even though you're on a quest, you're using the PCVR version and the Quest is just operating as a Rift.

exotic escarp
#

ok thanks

crisp ether
#

Though there are other ways to enable wireless Rift usage as well with sidequest. I know Markiplier mentioned using it that way in one of his streams.

—

#

USB-C is just a connector type. USB 3.0 & 3.1 are specifications relating to speed and features.

So you can theoretically have a USB-C port that's only USB 2.0 (in fact, a lot of cables flooding the market are 2.0 cables, designed solely for charging over the USB Power Delivery standard. This is why Oculus recommends the link cable; it's a 3.1 cable).

The Quest just needs a 3.0 or (preferably) 3.1 cable to be used in Rift Link mode. It doesn't matter the connection on the PC end as long as the quest end is USB Type-C, and the port you plug it in to is USB 3.0/SS or higher.

#

—

Also, it is good to note that Rift Mode is described as a beta feature on Quests. It may not always work, and support is limited on it.

languid crystal
#

So far I tried deleting the software on my pc and re download it and removed my quest 2 from my device list and still doesnt work.

crisp ether
crisp ether
#

Make sure the drivers for your motherboard are up to date, you are using a USB 3.0 or 3.1 rated cable, and it's plugged in to a USB SS or 3.0/3.1 (blue) port on your machine.

languid crystal
#

Gotcha checking rn

languid crystal
crisp ether
languid crystal
#

no no i plugged the adapter in a 3.0 usb with my link cable

crisp ether
#

You may need to get the anker cable I listed above or a similar USB-A to USB-C 3.0 cable

languid crystal
#

Yes, its a USB 3.0 Adapter USB A to USB type C female adapter

crisp ether
#

It does say a USB device had a failure ("Port Reset Failed"). I would check device manager for any yellow exclamation marks.

languid crystal
#

But again i dont think its the adapter, before I got the link cable I used a USB A to USB type c to play VR so its worked before but idk now

#

I was playing phasmophobia when everything just froze and I didnt think much so when I tried playing vrchat the quest worked normally but doesnt launch the rift and when it does its a black screen but I can hear audio from the rift menu and stuff

crisp ether
languid crystal
#

So what should I do? I tried everything and I don’t know what to do. 😔

crisp ether
#

It's likely the quest limiting itself to 2.0 because it dislikes something about the USB cable or adapter.

#

Example, again using the USB-C cable from Apple, but plugging it in to a Mac, it registers as being connected over the USB 3.0 bus (not 3.1) but the Quest is reporting a maximum speed of 480MB/s, which is 145MB/s slower than the USB 3.0 max spec.

📎 unknown.png
#

480 MB/s is faster than USB 2.0, but the Quest requires a minimum of 3.0 to function, afaik.

#

Try something like the anker cable above (it's reported to work for Oculus Link), and if that fails, check your USB ports.

#

Actually, @languid crystal have you plugged any new USB devices in lately? USB ports can sometimes have they're own controller* (each port is capable of 3.0/3.1 speeds), or they can share a controller (all the ports together are capable of 3.0/3.1 speeds).

In the latter case, the more devices you connect over USB 3, the slower the ports are.

#

If so, try unplugging everything but the quest from your USB 3 ports and trying again.

languid crystal
#

Gotcha

crisp ether
#

—

*The controller is the microchip that communicates between the processor and the USB ports. Each controller is only going to be capable of max speeds for one port, unless it was designed to operate multiple ports independently.

languid crystal

crisp ether
#

NP. Even though I can't use link myself, I did a ton of research on it, and I'm familiar with most of the troubleshooting as it's used with similar issues elsewhere on Windows.

#

If all else fails, try the anker cable, and fiddle with the Oculus software a fair bit.

#

I wish you luck.

tender portal
#

3.0? I'm using USB C to USB C

crisp ether
#

For example, a lot of charging cables on the market are USB 2.0, despite being USB-C

#

This is why you can't use any USB-C cable with link. Some cables are too slow.

crisp ether
#

USB is really, really, really complicated. There's USB connectors, and USB protocols (or specifications).

USB Specifications are:
USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc.

USB Connectors are:
Type-A ("classic USB"), Type-B, Type-C, micro-A, micro-B, mini-A, etc.

Any of the latter can technically be any of the former, except 1.0 if I'm not mistaken. — So you can have USB-C 2.0, USB-A 3.1, micro-USB-B 3.0, etc.

USB-C also has support for DisplayPort and Thunderbolt protocols, and these require supported cables as well. So while the port is just a port, what i can do is dependent on both the machine it's installed on, and the cable you are using.

So yeah, Oculus Link needs [connected to] both a USB 3.0 or higher port and cable; one end (the oculus end) needs to be Type-C, and the other end needs to match your PC's USB 3.0 (or higher) port.

#

Same with adapters. If you are using a USB-C to USB-A adapter, it needs to be rated for USB 3.0 or higher

tender portal
#

didn't need the explanation, just wondered why he had the issue, i didn't ask for detail...

crisp ether
#

Even then, it may not be the cable for them. Apparently the Oculus driver software on some machines is buggy and will register as 2.0 until the program is restarted after connecting the Quest.

dull drift
#

I have the anker cable

#

I know I’m using a USB-3 port. It’s blue. But the anker cable itself doesn’t have that blue that typically signifies a USB3.0

#

I know the cable can’t be bad but it’s not allowing me to connect through oculus link. I’ve restarted multiple times, updated, ect. Still nothing

#

It’s just telling me that the link program keeps closing and when I go for app info nothing comes up

#

I finally got it to connect, I can hear the sound from my pc on it but nothings showing up

# blissful burrow theres tutorials to see peoples avatars if their your friends

If they're Quest compatible avatars you can view their profile and there should be an option to show their avatar somewhere. You can also go into safety, and select the advanced options to choose the minimum requirements for Quest avatars to be displayed (some take up more resources and will be replaced with a bot by default.).

PC-only avatars cannot be displayed on VRChat for Quest, as the assets for avatars have to be packaged for each platform (according to Unity, apparently).

I would try something like Oculus forums, or the Oculus Quest Reddit (r/OculusQuest) for further issues with Oculus Link. The feature is still in beta, and is considered experimental by Oculus. If you're using the correct ports, and cable (unlike ports, cables will not typically be blue or labeled; it's madness.) then it is an issue with the Oculus software itself. — Try fully rebooting your headset though.

#

It's also a PCVR thing, not a VRChat for Quest thing.

does anyone know how to link an Oculus to a vrchat account?

Heyyy @modest tiger did you use only ALVR or SideQuest and ALVR?

haughty coyote

Streamed wirelessly (through ALVR) for a good amount of time but VRChat decided to lag intensively for whatever reason, even after switching to Safe Mode. Steam Overlay appeared fine, and VRChat stopped freaking out, until I closed Steam Overlay, then it went back to like 11 FPS

Hello! I have a question if anybody can respond it will be super helpful on the oculus quest 2 how can I do a wireless stream on discord?

shut flame
crisp ether
# haughty coyote Hello! I have a question if anybody can respond it will be super helpful on the ...

You'll need a computer for that. It doesn't have to be powerful; just able to run discord and Chrome or a Chromecast receiver tool.

In the Quest 2's "immersive menu" (that pulls up when you press the oculus button), there's a share menu.

Under that menu you will select "cast". You can either:

Cast to a computer in a browser:

  1. Set up a call in discord.
  2. Broadcast your screen, or the browser window, in the discord call, and it's audio (if possible).
  3. Follow the instructions to cast to a computer on the Quest: https://support.oculus.com/1053142614872870/

or...

Cast to a Chromecast-receiver App:

  1. Install a Chromecast receiving & capturing app, such as Air Server (https://www.airserver.com).
  2. Set up a call in discord.
  3. Set up discord to capture your screen, or the chromecast-receiving app, and it's audio (if possible).
  4. Follow the instructions to cast to a chromecast on the Quest, selecting the app on your PC from the list: https://support.oculus.com/1053142614872870/

I use the latter to wirelessly stream my Quest 2 on Twitch. I have a program which captures audio and passes it to OBS, and I set AirServer to pass audio to it. The same can work with Discord as well.

It's unfortunately a little clunky, as Oculus only allows broadcasting live from the headset directly to Facebook, and no other platforms, though hopefully that can change in the near future. In the meantime, you can use a computer to share the Chromecast or Webpage casting in a discord call, and get a similar effect with a tad more hastle.

Oculus App casting never works

crisp ether
# haughty coyote Hello! I have a question if anybody can respond it will be super helpful on the ...

Alternatively:, if you do not want to use a computer (<#quest-general message>)

If you have an iPad or iPhone with Discord installed, and a supported version of iOS, you can cast to the Oculus app, and share your iPhone screen from there.

  1. Open discord and start a discord call.
  2. Open the Oculus app.
  3. Tap the "cast" icon in the top right (goggles with a wifi icon on them).
  4. With the oculus on, and on the same network, tap "Start".
  5. Open the iOS Control Center, and hold down on the "screen record" icon.*
  6. Select Discord from the list, then "Start Broadcast".

*_If you do not see the screen recording icon, you can enable it in settings under Settings -> Control Center by adding the Screen Recording icon at the bottom of this menu.

The app just crashes if i try

crisp ether
#

It may be your device then.

steep crescent
#

It's a problem I've since getting my headset

crisp ether
#

I have both an old iPad and an iPhone and they both work with it.

#

It could also be your network, but that's an issue to trouble shoot in the Oculus forums or on reddit. I wouldn't really know exactly why it'd crash.

steep crescent
#

Casting only works on PC for me

#

But app either crashes or gives an error

crisp ether
#

It may be your phone/tablet or your wireless network.

#

Something is interfering, so you'd need to troubleshoot it if you want to use the app.

steep crescent
#

It's probably not my network since i do a lot of local streaming with different devices

crisp ether
#

But the app may work for @haughty coyote either way. Worth a test.

steep crescent
#

And asking didn't work since no one ever answers

crisp ether
steep crescent
#

Then it's the app fault. Can't find a reason why it would be incompatible.

#

It's the only app that causes trouble while streaming

crisp ether
#

It may have something to do with your particular phone/tablet and how the app receives and processes video.

#

But I wouldn't know how to exactly troubleshoot that.

#

I know I use an iPad Pro 9.7 (2016) and an iPhone Xr and they both work generally speaking.

steep crescent
#

I've Android with latest firmware

crisp ether
#

It may just be the android app then.

#

But I wouldnt know how to cast on Android anyways.

steep crescent
#

Android supports casting by default

crisp ether
#

Outgoing, not incoming.

steep crescent
#

Well AnyDesk works perfectly fine. I control my PC a lot via Phone m

#

That also runs on local network.

crisp ether
#

But again, I don't really know how to troubleshoot that, and the VRChat for Quest discussion isn't the best place for that anyways.

haughty coyote
#

I’ll try that out

#

Is VRCHAT good in oculus quest 2?

crisp ether
#

It's ok

#

A lot less worlds and avatars

#

But it works, mostly

steep crescent
#

Only if you're fine with a limited experience

haughty coyote
#

oh really??

#

I got 256GB one?

steep crescent
#

Most avatars/worlds aren't compatible

haughty coyote
#

Even with more GB doesn’t make more access?

crisp ether
# haughty coyote oh really??

Due to limitations of Unity (the framework VRChat is built on), creators have to upload their avatars and worlds for Quest, since it runs Android, not Windows.

#

As a result, a lot of existing content will not work unless the creators reupload it.

haughty coyote
#

Oh I see..

steep crescent
#

Which most don't do since they don't care

crisp ether
#

And due to processing power, some features may be unavailable as well. It gives you the core VRChat experience, but you might miss out on some stuff.

haughty coyote
#

So having 200 something GB in oculus quest 2 wouldn’t make VRCHAT more acess to the world

steep crescent
#

No

crisp ether
#

Not really, no. That's just storage space, so you can install more games.

steep crescent
crisp ether
#

A lot of the game worlds are on Quest.

#

Especially popular ones streamers play, like the Among Us recreation, Murder, etc.

steep crescent
#

For me myself VRChat on Quest wouldn't ever be a viable option since i would be unable to see the avatars of all my friends then.

crisp ether
#

But things like conventions and personal worlds may not be. Same with avatars.

steep crescent
#

And the worlds we regularly visit aren't Quest Compatible either

crisp ether
#

But, some creators, if you contact them on social media, are open to requests for reuploading for Quest.

haughty coyote
#

what vr do you guys suggest for vrchat

crisp ether
#

Well, if you have a powerful enough computer, you can use the official Oculus software with Quest to use it as a PCVR headset.

steep crescent
#

If you can connect to a PC you can get all, but if not Quest 2

crisp ether
#

Use the PC VRChat client.

haughty coyote
#

The thing is I have a windows 7 ;-;

steep crescent
#

I use Virtual Desktop, so i skip the official Oculus Software.

haughty coyote
#

I’ve been told my multiple people it will work but idk

crisp ether
#

It could work, yeah. Just need a VR ready GPU

steep crescent
#

I don't know about Win7

crisp ether
#

VRChat for Quest is a bit of a "portable" experience. It really depends on where you're going to be going or what you're going to be doing. It may be perfectly fine for you. Or not, like @steep crescent

#

I would suggest researching guides on using the Quest 2 wirelessly with SteamVR

haughty coyote
#

right I’m just worried that if.i do do that and set it up it won’t work

crisp ether
#

If your machine is VR capable, even with Windows 7 you should be able to play PC VRChat.

crisp ether
steep crescent
#

Even old GPUs may work with VRChat, but you won't get a good performance then and likely have to limit your safety settings and SteamVR resolution, but VRChat can run ok even on old hardware in VR if you know how.

haughty coyote
#

yeah and I have VRCHAT in it and it works just not full servers with people

crisp ether
haughty coyote
#

Even with my specs I didn't run well with full servers

steep crescent
#

I've a Nvidia GTX 750 Ti which is pretty old, but if i play VRChat in VR on PC it's only at 50% usage approximately.

haughty coyote
#

Nearly lagged out a few times today

crisp ether
#

That is true. It really depends on how much people are there.

haughty coyote
#

oh yikes...

#

I think it's down to CPU but I'm not even sure anymore

steep crescent
#

Quest can't handle more than 10 people anyways

haughty coyote
#

It's frustrating, regardless

#

I was running ALVR, so no Quest limitations

#

Basically running VRC off my PC, just being streamed to my Quest 2

crisp ether
steep crescent
#

@haughty coyote nah it works for me cause i turned my SteamVR resolution down which does a lot.

#

If i play with SteamVR res on 100% it's also unplayable for me

crisp ether
#

It's going to be a lot of trial and error to find if it works for you is the point, @haughty coyote

haughty coyote
#

yeah..

crisp ether
#

It's worth the shot. Look up some guides, ask around.

haughty coyote
#

I can play any other game with 100% res on SteamVR, I don't think it's a Steam/Quest issue, unless you're running wireless off just the Quest with no changes

crisp ether
#

Try VRChat on the Quest itself first. If you find yourself dissatisfied, or wanting more, then try to set up wireless VR using some of the various guides out there.

haughty coyote
#

right

#

I definitely suggest wireless VR (without Quest's limits), it's amazing, in some cases

crisp ether
steep crescent
#

If you play on Quest itself you'll want to build friendships with Quest users. But note that most are kids so it might be difficult to find people you want to hangout with.

I would get an SSD if my loading times were painfully slow, but they really aren't

#

I’m kind of nervous now cause I’ve used the RIFT VR but vrchat didn’t work was flashing problem. and I think maybe me being first VR owner maybe do you think I’d be satisfied? is it super bad in VRCHAT 😪

crisp ether

#

I'd just need help finding an internal one, or something

#

Most I've found is one meant for laptops, idk if it would be remotely the same, especially externally

crisp ether
#

Games where they have loading screens and process everything before displaying it you won't really notice lag. VRChat however is a very "on the fly" kind of program, so if there is a bottleneck with the R/W you'll notice.

haughty coyote
#

oh hey I found one

steep crescent

#

Holdup lemme see this is the only thing I could find

#

Hard dusk drives: Space free:129GB Total Size:580GB.

crisp ether
#

@haughty coyote in windows you can hold the Windows flag button and the R key to open the dialog, and run MSINFO32 to get the specs on your machine.

haughty coyote
#

Oh

crisp ether
#

Itll tell you what CPU you have, GPU, how much space, how much RAM, etc.

#

(That's another thing, @haughty coyote; depending on how much video RAM your GPU has, it may have to read and write from disk more often with VRChat as it loads in avatars and parts of the world. The less RAM, the more it has to read from disk.)

haughty coyote
#

GTX 2060, I think 6GB if I remember correctly

It'll open System Information

haughty coyote

It'll just show you what your laptop has for its specs

crisp ether
#

MS stands for Microsoft, Info is Information, and the 32 has to deal with the technology the app was built with ("32-bit")

#

So it's the Microsoft System Information tool, basically.

#

Tells you what all your computer has.

#

Gaming laptops and some high end laptops are capable of some baseline VR, but they'll get hot quick and need to be plugged in all the time.

#

And they wont give great performance.

Because wireless is cool and all, but it's too intensive to stream for sim racing

#

Plus I can try to stretch the quality to be a biiiiit better

crisp ether
# haughty coyote I'll most likely use Link for seated play at my PC

Link is purportedly really buggy. Even when using supported cables and ports, it'll sometimes misidentify it as using USB2 and refuse to run (I had to give a whole explanation on USB protocols and connectors here last night). If you have a working wireless setup, I recommend sticking to that.

#

I just like rec room as another game to have really

crisp ether
# steep crescent I would prefer Quest VRChat over Rec room

Rec Room looked meh in the store. VRChat is definitely where a lot of people are at, content wise. AltSpace is more limited, but they just added the ability to add user created worlds, and their avatar system is nice (having a character creator is more pleasant for beginners.)

#

And in AltSpace you can actually play videos and have browser windows in it and stuff, so that's nice.

haughty coyote

Leaving the Quest 2 to charge overnight, good idea or don't do it?

I do it with my Quest all the time, the same with every device i own

haughty coyote
#

Okay, just double checking so I don't immediately break it 😅

steep crescent
#

Batterys aren't dumb anymore

crisp ether
#

A lot of the fear of "overcharging" batteries have found to be overblown over the years. LiIon batteries lose about 20% capacity whether you charge them frequently or not. They're just rated for X amounts of charge.

#

So it's like a manufacturers waranty; After X amount of time (or number of charges) they won't guarantee the battery will hold a charge anymore. It could be entirely fine, and for most it likely will be.

#

They used to think charging devices fast hurt batteries too, and now we have 80W USB-C chargers for laptops and "fast charging" for phones.

#

A lot of that stuff was just because LiIon batteries were still new so they didn't know for sure.

#

It was erring on the side of caution.

steep crescent
#

If you play while charging you also may notice the battery level not going over 79%. That's also normal and it'll continue to charge to 100% if you don't use the Headset anymore.

crisp ether
#

I use a 29W power supply and it seems to charge all the way, even while using. Oculus uses USB-PD over USB-C, so it'll negotiate the max of whatever it's charging controller chip supports internally.

steep crescent
#

I use the official Link cable

#

To charge

crisp ether
#

I need sleep, but I wish you luck and hope VRChat on Quest works out for you, @haughty coyote

If you use Oculus Link software on a compatible machine, or use Virtual Desktop with the SideQuest patch and a wireless connection, you can use the Quest as an Oculus Rift headset, and play PCVR games, including VRChat for Windows.

You will need a VR capable computer however. Most laptop users need not try.

And if you are using the Oculus Rift Link method, you'll need to verify you have a USB 3.0+ or USB-SS port, a USB 3.0+ rated cable with USB-C on one end and the same connector as the 3.0/SS port on your PC on the other. And you'll need to meet the official Rift minimum specifications: https://support.oculus.com/248749509016567/

Well, it's a standalone headset so you don't need anything but what it comes with. I'd suggest getting the carrying case or a carrying case so if you ever want to take it with you it'll be safe. I wouldn't suggest getting the official battery bank for the quest 2 as it's overly expensive and there are third party banks that provide the same power for a cheaper price.
If you instead meant games then I can give you ones that i think are worth buying based on your preference

I'm pretty sure, like I said, you don't need anything. You don't need a cable to connect (unless you want to play PC VR), you don't need to get another strap right away as I think they give you a spare out the box, and I'll check about the adapter but I think your fine. Gimme a sec

gloomy mirage
#

But is the strap good? Or are the ones in the store better?
And since I will be playing on pc im guessing i'd need the quest connect link to connect to my pc?

shut flame
#

From what I've heard and seen the standard strap is pretty crap so I'd say get the elite strap. Like I said before though I don't think the battery elite strap is worth it because of the price and I've seen ones that can do the same thing for 20 bucks

#

Also, I'd say unless your going to be playing every game in existence you don't need more than the 64 Gb

gloomy mirage
#

What's the difference between the 64 gb and the other one?

shut flame
#

I have the 64Gb one and I have played many of the games and I've still got space to spare

#

64 or 256Gb

#

It's price

#

It's the space

gloomy mirage
#

If you're playing big games, will the amount GB matter?

shut flame
#

None of the games are really that huge but honestly you can get a tonne of games before you hit the max

gloomy mirage
#

So it's really not that big of a deal?

shut flame
#

I've got 27 games (not including dlc) on my quest right now and I can still get some more. So no, you shouldn't worry about it at all

gloomy mirage
#

that's a relief

#

But what about the adapter? Or the headset thing?

shut flame
#

From what I can tell if you select the right place to ship to it should give you the right adapter. I'm guessing by "the headset thing" you mean the connect cable? If you want to play PC VR games then get it but there are a lot of games on the quest which can be bought and downloaded wirelessly from the quest. Personally, it's a better experience but the oculus link cable in the store is a good way to go to get the right amount of data transfer

gloomy mirage
#

And what about the "facial interface"?

shut flame
#

Are you asking about a physical product or are you asking about the main menu?

gloomy mirage
#

physical product

shut flame
#

First I was looking through the accessories and I saw the United Kingdom power adapter there

#

FYI

gloomy mirage
#

fyi??

shut flame
#

About the facial interface I don't think you need it . I don't have one and it feels great to use. The quest does come with a glasses spacer which I do recommend using if you've got glasses because even though it doesn't seem like their scratching your lenses they just might be.

shut flame
gloomy mirage
#

ah

#

Oh, that reminded me, if you're farsighted, would you need to use your glasses?

#

Cause idk how glasses work with vr

shut flame
#

It's really weird but yes, VR is like real life when it comes to glasses. So if you can't see far in real life you can't see far in VR

gloomy mirage
#

Never thought you'd need glasses for vr, but thanks for the information!

#

So, I should get the Quest connect link, the wire for headset, elite strap, quest 2 64GB and the Quest bag?

shut flame
#

Wire for headset?

gloomy mirage
#

yeah

shut flame
#

Do you mean the power cable?

gloomy mirage
#

maybe, it's called " Quest 2 headset cable (1m) "

#

thought it was to connect your headset to the quest

shut flame
#

No no no no no, don't buy that one it comes with the headset

gloomy mirage
#

ohhh

#

alright
And just a question, in case i do need the adapter, is the cable like, a weird shape or does it have the same end as a phone charger?? (Usb i think? idk im not good with words)

shut flame
#

It's a USB C cable so it's not your regular end

#

It's so that it can get faster charging

gloomy mirage
#

So i might need the adapter?

shut flame
#

Man, you really love your adapter don't you. No, it comes with a charge block that, for me, had an American output but I'm guessing it might have the one you need. If it doesn't adapters aren't expensive so you could just get one off Amazon if you want a faster option.

gloomy mirage
#

im just making sure, im a nervous being who has to make sure i get this right

#

first time buying something like this

shut flame
#

Yea, I was nervous too then so I was watching a bunch of things on it. But for me I was mostly nervous about the space even though they said you'd never hit the limit which now I'm happy I didn't get the more expensive one

gloomy mirage
#

guessing i dont need the replacement kit until something breaks and you mentioned i dont need to adjust to the facial interface then i doubt i need the fit pack??

shut flame
#

Unless you want to but I don't have it and it's not something I'll ever Buy

gloomy mirage
#

And what the lens insert? Im guessing its a way to replace your glasses but is it any good?

shut flame
#

All it does, from the description and visuals, is move your face slightly farther away. I think

#

Sorry, that was for your other question

gloomy mirage
#

huh (and thats okay the more information the better)

winter wolf
#

Thank both of you, now i dont need to run a conversation abou that 😉

shut flame
#

Alright so about the lens inserts, I think there a great idea but there's a few things you should think about.

  1. Is anyone else going to be using the quest
  2. Are you having to get new glasses from prescription changes regularly still (as in within a year or two)
gloomy mirage
#

So it might be better (and cheaper) to just use your own glasses? (rip nose)

shut flame
#

In my opinion it is. Also why rip nose?

shut flame
gloomy mirage
#

i didnt think half way through that and thought it was like wearing glasses normally (which if you wear it on longs periods of time it will hurt or become irritating at least for me)

shut flame
#

Sorry, I was making perogies

gloomy mirage
#

its fine

shut flame
#

Ok, so for me, I don't notice my glasses almost ever when I play as the headset and glasses don't touch aside from at the side of your head. There is a bit of space in between your eyes and the lens

#

And the headset doesn't touch your nose

gloomy mirage
#

so, right now i have Oculus link headset cable, Quest 2 carrying case, Quest 2 64 GB and Quest 2 Elite strap
I might consider the lenses for glasses but for now im fine with just using my glasses
And that's new information to me

#

But does this sound good? Or is there anything more you suggest?

shut flame
#

Sounds good to me

#

If you need anything else you can ask

#

Probably DM me because I'm gunna be busy here

gloomy mirage
#

Ah, thank you so much! (went a bit afk there, sorry)
I'll be sure to DM you if i have any more questions
Again, thank you so much, you might've just saved some of my money there from my own stupidity

You don't need a computer to use the Quest; If you mean using Oculus Link, which turns the Quest into a Rift, the official minimum requirements are here: https://support.oculus.com/248749509016567/

Look for a desktop or laptop that has a "Dedicated GPU" or "dGPU", and make sure the CPU, GPU, and RAM all meet or exceed the minimum specs for best experience.

Otherwise, the Quest is a stand-alone VR game console. You can use the quest all on it's own.

crisp ether
# shut flame You can also use remote desktop but I think it's slower ( <@261384026114228226> ...

I can't confirm it, as i don't use it, but I know about it. I've done some reading on it.

It depends on your network setup and reliability. 5GHz Wi-Fi would be preferred, for latency purposes. You'd also need to enable developer mode and install a SideQuest Virtual Desktop patch; this requires a credit or debit card to be linked to your Oculus developer account (for identity verification).

It should be serviceable for PCVR use over SteamVR, and you may be able to use a little older of a machine for SteamVR itself (as requirements for newer headsets have increased, but Virtual Desktop uses its own OVR driver). Steam provides a tool for testing the VR capabilities of your machine here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/323910/SteamVR_Performance_Test/

It may provide a better experience in some environments; Oculus Link and the Oculus Desktop software has issues with some Motherboards and configurations, causing it to register as connected over USB2 even when using a USB3 rated port and USB3 rated cable. Meanwhile if you have a low latency network, you may have a smoother experience [with Virtual Desktop], _and there is the whole "no wires" thing _.

#

I know Markiplier said they use this method in one of their previous Twitch streams, and they swore by it. — Granted they upgraded all their networking equipment to provide the best experience, but it would seem that, under the right conditions, it can be a better overall experience than Oculus Link. — But it is __unsupported by Oculus __, and it's possible Facebook could make it more difficult to use in the future (as after all, you have to patch VRDesktop outside the Oculus store just to use its full set of features; it could not be submitted to the Oculus Store with the wireless VR included.)

Have you checked your height settings in VRC?

Also, if you're using the PC version of VRC, you'll need to make sure in Steam settings you have your roomscale and height correctly set. If you change the positions of tracking stations without rerunning setup you'll break the configuration.

Follow these directions here to recreate the roomscale and boundaries*: https://www.vive.com/us/support/vive/category_howto/setting-up-room-scale-play-area.html

*Whilst these settings are provided for the Vive, they should be identical for other headsets when using SteamVR.

#

Though for the future, Please put issues with VRC for PC in #vrchat-general-2. Whilst this is the Quest channel, this section is for the Quest version of VR Chat. Quest Link & Virtual Desktop treat your Quest like a standard PCVR headset, and therefore nothing Quest related, generally speaking, applies.
