Application Error

[astral ice]

I tried uploading an avatar to see if the security check failure problem was solved then got hit with an application error when I tried uploading it to quest, then I saw on the console that my tools were outdated? is it VRC or do I need to update my unity, I always use 2019 version of unity and dont wanna switch over.

Some avatar specifically only worked for the new versions of unity

Plus, I think it would be better for you to switch over to the new variant because loading in avatars is extremely faster now

On the 2019 version it would take 20 minutes or 30 minutes depending on the avatar to switch over between each version of PC and quest but it only takes 10 or 12 minutes on new version

Plus with the updated SDK is that VR chat Have you can add photos to your avatar way more easier

fair enough, but I got my avatar to work but I'll upgrade the unity once I get a new pc, or will the new unity not make my pc self destruct, just curious

[gusty nacelle]

I don’t exactly know the answer to your question since I don’t know how your PC actually runs, but depending on your PC and may work better or worse

For me, I’ve been using 2019 for quite a while and I had to end up switching over to the newest 2022 because avatar started switching over to that and once I switched over, it did feel like loading in things and making avatars was about 20 or 50 times faster than 2019

[astral ice]

well for the 20-30 minutes is shortened to 10-20 when I turn all the avatars off

[gusty nacelle]

What do you mean by that?

What I mean by that is turn off all avatars?

[astral ice]

hard to put in words

[gusty nacelle]

Sounds like to me that you put every single one of your avatars that you’re working on into one singular project. Am I wrong?

[astral ice]

not wrong at all, but it does run faster when I have the avatars hidden, when I worked on my dragon ball avatars and swapped them from quest to pc and vise versa it took 10 minutes, sometimes longer or shorter time.

[gusty nacelle]

Interesting dragon ball avatars more than that later anyway

Yeah, I see your problem. The problem that you’re having is the reason why it’s so slow for you is because you’re putting all of your avatar projects in

one singular project. I used to do that back in the old days when I was creating avatars because it was convenient, but the more avatars and the more accessories that you add into your project, the more harder is going to be to load in especially if you have a not so good PC

I would maybe suggest splitting up your avatar project between different avatars for each and every one of your new ones

Because some of them may not end up working together in one project because all of the different animations may mess with each other

[astral ice]

true but I do keep everything organized for each avatar, a folder for each avatar I work on, or at least each type

[gusty nacelle]

Well, that’s good as well. At least you know where everything is located.

Although it still up to you to decide what to do I’m just saying that the more avatars and accessories that you add onto your project the more it does get slower

But maybe here’s another idea. How about you? Maybe create several different projects and split up your avatars between all of the different projects so you may have three in each project

[astral ice]

that is an idea but I usually dont go for multiple projects since it takes forever just to load one project
