Is there a nasa or JWST world for the launch tomorrow?

Please

>>365419569
We used to have them and I do think that there probably is still desire for, we just need a guy who'd host it

test

>>365419930
>implying it won't get delayed

>>365419972
Well, I could host them myself, but of course we would need at least a handfull of people to actually show up for the lobbies.

If any EU frens are interested, let me know!

How do you guys organise your avatars in unity?
You've all probably got a main avatar with dozens of edits, but unless you organize things if you fuck something up with an avatar once it's fucked for all future variants which I've done, just wanna know a safe and efficient system so I can play around and make stuff without stressing over mistakes or messy bloat

Just a reminder that this exists. If you're going to be hanging out in vrchat for new years and over the holidays, I highly recommend it.
I use NIS style rendering at 0.67 and the index at 144hz around 2500px
This has a pretty massive benefit to performance if you're rocking anything less than a 3070 in certain situations.
Otherwise, block shaders most of the time.

This is a gui that makes installing it easy.

>>365450503
this is implying that VRChat is anywhere NEAR gpu-limited, which is simply not the case at all unless you're below a gtx 970.
also blocking shaders probably isn't gonna improve your performance any. i'd be much more interested in a mod that allows you to turn off grabpasses on worlds and/or avatars, because that actually is a killer. some dude using silent's, poiyomi toon or xstoon isn't gonna get you any frame drops.
please stop telling people to gimp their game experience in favor of a fucking placebo. tell them to install Advanced Safety instead so they can limit stuff that actually matters.

>>365451251
Love you to fag no homo lmao

>>365451031
you're mostly wrong.
VRChat is indeed cpu limited. Materials are the reason - once you hit a certain number of unique materials at a certain resolution, the game will tank.
However, the fact that it's also partially GPU (and then CPU to compensate) can be easily proved. Simply go to any map with 80 players where you're getting like 30 frames.
Open the steamvr dashboard. Look at your frames and the people moving around you.
144hz, perfect frames, no drops.
Ponder why that is.

>>365451393
the real L wouldn't say that he isn't gay, sorry bro

>>365451553
sorry bro I'm not the L you were hoping

I wish L would dm me more....

>>365451545
i did this a while back and the framerate barely increased. i think what you're describing is what happens if you're running an older GPU like a 970 or if you're running out of VRAM.
you are NEVER going to hit 144fps with 80 people in the instance. the overlay might be shoving 144fps in your face, but the game certainly won't be pushing that framerate at all. there is simply too much going on in the main thread to hit 80 players and still keep 144fps, sorry.
the way i keep my framerates up in very large instances is decreasing supersampling to 1x because I'm partially VRAM-limited (older card), and using advanced safety to limit the number of meshes and materials people can use (without having to hide/fallback them altogether like VRC's dogshit perf rank system).

merry christmas!

>>365452150
So mainly to explain just a little further -
"why my game slow?" comes in two flavors in the current situation in vrchat.
1) Shaders (in unity basically "material features") are set up by the cpu and passed to the gpu. SOMETIMES those features are handled by the gpu directly, but it's rare and those shaders tend to crash on amd or not work in vr. So, your cpu has to do a little work for every material in the scene.
2) Every unique material that isn't instanced is a set pass call. Anything above about 900 set pass calls is going to be pretty heavy.
3) An avatar with 4 materials and 2 different shaders with say, audiolink, by itself will be around 70 set pass calls when combined with a map with the procedural skybox, post processing, a reflection probe and no real time light. That's one player ranked "Good" in vrchat.
Most people are are way worse and then you have more complex maps with some realtime features and lots of materials themelves.
Let's add some reflections! Dynamic bones!
Suddenly, your cpu is out of cores and has to wait a cycle to set up new materials. Now it starts culling them. Now you're waiting on the cpu to draw a material every frame with a grab pass.
And you're not wrong about the vram limiting.

By disabling shaders on non-friends (especially audiolink and shaders like oyasumisan's glasses) you will vastly improve your frames.

pic related. This is a scene with light post processing, everything else baked, audiolink and a "good rated" avatar.

>literally noone online
ugh

MERRY CHRISTMAS SHAMMY! I LOVE YOU. IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHO I AM, I WILL PAYPAL YOU 100 QUID RIGHT NOW.

>>365452890
Wow that's very rude
What has literally Noone done against you
He's such a nicee guy never insulted me

>>365452649
>So, your cpu has to do a little work for every material in the scene.
this work is almost the same for every shader, and involves basically just vomiting a large set of data out towards the GPU (all the material properties and some mesh data). this work is also vastly reduced when using a shader that "locks in" or can be "optimized" with kaj's optimizer, but that's an aside. either way, you are unlikely to see big improvements here because setting material property blocks like that is very fast. it's also much faster to just have less materials to begin with.
then there's the fact that VRC uses graphics jobs now which makes that even more of a moot point.

everything else you said has literally nothing to do with your display resolution either, you're just posting pointless filler because you hope no one will call you out on your BS.
the only real difference here is grabpasses, these will be way faster with lower MSAA levels and lower resolutions (but then again, fuck people who use an entire grabpass for their glasses). I would be interested in a mod that just flatly disables grabpasses on avatars or forces them all into the same named grabpass, but disabling shaders altogether is going to make people look butt ugly.

>>365452649
>>365451031
While I do truly love what audiolink has brought to the community visually and most of the time it's fine, it has been pretty heavy for performance.
Also people are certainly using grab passes a lot, audiolink uses one too.
I'm 100% with you that, grab passes and material counts are the main issue right now, because you can't overcome the set pass call limits unless you have monster cpu/ram/gpu bandwidth on platforms released in 2021.
If vrchat implements something like directcache and directstorage someday, then things will change significantly. A URP Client in the future would be sweet too.
This game is just really heavy on the render job count and there's no real way around it. One thing that helps is people actually atlasing their worlds and not using full lighting features. Map makers should aim for like 2-4 PBR materials on the main meshes tops and try to get around 50 draw calls at typical viewing angles, tops, just to account for the avatar factor. That's what I do, anyway.

>>365453925
A URP client is confirmed along with the content apocalypse that comes with it whenever unity 20202 update happens.

>>365453925
How many Udon Prefabs would you recommend for an event world that is meant to host 60+ people? Give me a number

>>365423207
bnuuy booba....

>>365453925
depends on what you mean with "full lighting features". realtime shadows on everything can eat a fat dick as far as I'm concerned, but some good reflection probe, light probe and baked lightmap usage is a must-have IMO.
also I agree that audiolink is a bit of a strain on the hardware, but that's largely because of how goddang limited Udon really is.
URP will have its ups and downs, I don't know if it'll be any better for performance but it sure will make it harder to make custom shaders. they tried their hardest to destroy interop by moving certain features to the project's pipeline (requiring you to finetune both the project and the shader, even though user content can't touch the project), and the node system is aids too.

hi vrg what is my fortune!!!!

Your fortune: Happy Kwanzaa!

>>365453679
This is true, but there's a limit when you hit a certain number of active materials in the scene that can not be overcome at all. It's a hard limit in the standard render pipeline.
However, when you vastly reduce the render resolution, (like by opening steam dashboard) doing that calculation on the -CPU- is significantly reduced TOO because the math is done per-pixel or per poly. The same thing happens with FSR. By reducing the work to render the frame by massively lowering the resolution, you give your cpu a break and put a little work on the gpu, which is what we want here.
It's a sliding curve though, you'll get peaks on both the cpu, gpu side: and also even the physical ram side. If your ram is low and slow, everything in vrchat slows to a crawl.
It should be obvious that an 4k resolution is more work to process per frame on the CPU to to then pass to the gpu per material than a 1080p one. Come on. use that big brain of yours.
Many material/shader features require lots of cpu time to prep per frame.
And yes, shaders that "bake" do help a lot.

>>365454414
merlin got hired. u# is all but official at this point

>>365454190
is zero an option?
seriously, ask yourself how much it really adds to the event or to the world to have shit like random RC cars that no one will actually use anyway.

I'm gonna fuck an egirl in vrchat tonight because I'm drunk and lonely. I've never done it and never plan to do it again.

Anon, some people aren't gay. in fact, most people aren't gay. you're a minority.

>>365455143
I'm not gay but I hate women

>>365454916
it basically means having unity calculate your world's lighting beforehand, in the editor. that way, the game won't actually have to calculate the lighting itself.
this means you can have lighting that is both MUCH higher quality, and also MUCH faster. win/win, basically.
the vast majority of worlds in this game will have baked lighting. some don't, and some have combinations of realtime and baked lighting.

>>365455254
do you fuck guys?

>>365455254
fuck girly men. problem solved

>>365455143
lots of people use female avatars, at that rate you could just ask for someone to be mute or ask for someone who can put up a girly voice.
fucking random egirls is asking for trouble. in fact, dealing with women at all is asking for trouble.
>>365455254
based, i'm gay and hate women

>>365454190
>>365454190
Depends. If they're off, culled properly and locally (or no sync) synced it basically doesn't matter. Firing a single toggle to then do a bunch of actions controlled by animations are really, really cheap. Timeline is even cheaper when controlled with udon but I know one other person who has done that other than momo from vrc and he's a professional.

Mainly just look at things that run on the Update(). Try to turn those off when not needed, that's all. Cull the udonbehavior prefab by distance or a trigger volume or something, that's all.
Some do a lot of math and are heavy but most are not. Some run on update for no reason at all and just process constantly even if they're not being interacted with. They should be using lateupdate or lastupdate. Try to avoid a lot of stuff that runs on update() for no reason all the time basically.

If you're writing your own udon, try to make it all omnibus in one script, believe it or not, that's way better.

Here's an easy tip that might help: One of the most expensive and hidden quirks in unity is that if you are nesting scripted behaviors several hierarchy layers down, it makes things way slow to execute them, especially the first time. Every time they're called too, it takes quite a bit longer to fire and causes hitching. Not a lot of people know that.
Just by moving your stuff to the top of the scene hierarchy and not having it under other stuff like:

"Udon Stuff>Front room>Prefabs>pool table"
vs
"pool table"

will speed up unity itself significantly. It's just a quirk of the engine.

>>365455319
no I'm an incel

>>365455634
This tip about hierarchy in general is actually huge for me.

>>365455263
Thanks for the information anonymous

>>365455598
>dealing with women at all is asking for trouble
What are they going to do? Call the police? I agree that messing around with women carelessly can be dangerous, but on vrchat he is going to be fine. In fact, he is probably less likely to be in trouble messing around with some random e-thot, because unlike the trashfags it's not very likely he will run into them again or be recognized.

>>365455263
A full bake can make things slower too though, depending on how big it is.
if you can get everything into one lightmap texture at 4k, great. if there's like 14 of them... it's actually super bad, and might even be worse than using a single realtime light that completely culls the player and playerlocal layer, and only hits the map. Crazy, I know.
What's really crazy is doing no lighting calculations at all. Just use a gradient, fixed skybox and bake the lightmap straight into a single albedo texture in blender and just use that.
Ambient color neutral. Maybe make a light probe volume for the gradient ambient color but that's it.
Use a realtime directional light set to 0.01 intensity with no shadows (so that user shaders can get directional) but also keep your gameobjects static and use unlit texture as the shader, bake a reflection probe at a decent resolution since everything else is cheap.
I promise you'll be shocked by how many frames you get.
Import settings for everything, but especially textures and audio (pcm for short sounds, no compression) and using crunch compression on images in a format the target platform does efficiently is super important too for performance, probably more than most things we've mentioned so far.

Is it worth it bros? I've never played any of the Bard's Tale games, but I'm always down for some decent RPGs.

Hey /vrg/! All I want for Christmas is (You)!

Your fortune: Happy Hanukkah!

>>365456642
On what? Like VRC?

>>365456376
This post is so retarded, that I'm not even sure where or how to start replying to it. Here goes.
>Use a realtime directional light set to 0.01 intensity with no shadows (so that user shaders can get directional)
This is not only mostly useless, but also somewhat detrimental for performance and is semantically incorrect. Most modern shaders these days can "guess" the light direction from the ambient lighting, and this looks and works really well. If people are still using Cubed's or Standard which can't do this, that's not my problem.
A single directional light like that will technically not add any drawcalls, but it will still uselessly add and use this data.
Also not to mention, the "guessed" ambient light direction used by many shaders will break if you have an actual directional light in the scene, which means that avatars close to a baked light source will now look incorrect.
>if you can get everything into one lightmap texture at 4k, great. if there's like 14 of them... it's actually super bad
that strongly depends on the world, your quality settings and lighting settings (such as the actual lightmap texture's resolution). 14 textures isn't necessarily all that much in a large and well-lightmapped world.
>and using crunch compression
this is useless for anything except download size. textures live in VRAM non-crunched, even if crunched beforehand.

the rest of your suggestions boil down to "basically just make your world have a baked flat ambient color everywhere". I don't know if you realize this, but worlds should actually LOOK good, too. The lighting you described here is extremely basic and will not be attracting any users, and will not be gaining you many performance benefits either. light probes are already absurdly and extremely cheap because of the way they work.
Also, light probe proxy volumes don't work for avatars.

Your dunning kruger is strong! That's okay, you'll get better over time as you learn more.

>Most modern shaders these days can "guess" the light direction from the ambient lighting, and this looks and works really well.

Okay, that's nice, but there's lots of things that need the UNITY DEPTH BUFFER. The depth buffer is NOT activated without a directional light. You USED to be able to do it with post processing. This does not work in vr with 2019.4.31f1 Set it to "Not important" if you want so it's a vertex light, however unity ALWAYS renders a single directional light (but doesn't enable the depth buffer!) so it's basically free. No reason not to do it.

>14 textures isn't necessarily all that much in a large and well-lightmapped world.

No. just.. no. It's horrible. It breaks batching like mad. If a single light is casting a shadowmap across two static batched gameobjects using the same material and the lightmap is broken you're now rendering four of them. Please learn how to use and read the frame debugger before you shoot your mouth off.

>this is useless for anything except download size. textures live in VRAM non-crunched, even if crunched beforehand.

LMAO.

A crunched image decompresses directly into DXT1 or DXT5 with no additional steps, and decompresses EXTREMELY quickly on the gpu. The idea is a crunched texture can be read from the disk and decompressed into a DXT5 faster than reading a DXT5 straight.

Skinned mesh renderers are the only textures that live in VRAM and your ram.

Finally:
>"baked flat ambient color everywhere".

No, I didn't say that. Ambient light is for dynamics in the scene, like avatars and pickups. I'm suggesting you bake the LIGHTMAP into the ambient.
It's not good for every use case, it's just a really nice way to get a huge amount of performance if you're not a blender brainlet.
I didn't say "don't use normal maps or pbr". I said bake the static shadows into the albedo. Christ, please learn unity.

>>365456821
Yes.

>>365459170
>A crunched image decompresses directly into DXT1 or DXT5 with no additional steps, and decompresses EXTREMELY quickly on the gpu. The idea is a crunched texture can be read from the disk and decompressed into a DXT5 faster than reading a DXT5 straight.
Oh, I should have said why this is important...
Culling of materials for avatars and bits of the map happens often and vrchat also runs garbage collection on players when they leave. You're loading texture data a lot more than you think and overall it's eating cpu cycles when you need them.
It helps a ton.
Import settings on images though are as important, not marking non-rgb things properly is also slows things down in processing materials (uncheck pic related for anything that isn't color, like a detail mask, height map, roughness, metallic, etc)
Also audio is genuinely horrible on ram if it's big. Set background music to streaming instead of decompress on load, and use mp3 since your computer has native SoC decoding for it. Ogg is nice, but sadly just a pig for resources in unity. Use pcm for short sounds and effects on everything else.

nerds in chat

>>365453074
Th-thanks anon. Merry Christmas!

>>365459170
>Okay, that's nice, but there's lots of things that need the UNITY DEPTH BUFFER.
But earlier, you said to disable shadows on the light, and disabling shadows means it will NOT enable the depth buffer. Do you even know what you're talking about?
You also said to put it there for avatars to get a light direction, you didn't say it was to enable the depth buffer. And by the way, you can also activate the depth buffer by having the directional light with shadows affect an "unused" layer.

More importantly though, the depth buffer is actually pretty heavy on your GPU and it should be avoided! The only reason to intentionally activate it is if you have a shader in the world that really needs it (commonly used for water).

>Set it to "Not important" if you want so it's a vertex light
You can't even do that with directional lights, but even if you could, vertex lights don't activate the depth buffer. Again, what are you on about? Is this duki or something? You're telling me to do things that Unity literally doesn't allow you to do, and somehow I'm the dumb one? Fuck off lol.

Can you guys stop trying to out nerd each other and instead do an actual test. Drop a bunch of freeze frames of yourself and show fps differences with and without it on

>>365460741
I miss spending time with you shammy~

>>365460159
this. There is literally zero reason to not use crunch compression on every single texture and it prevents tons of hitching overall.
Also use ASTC on quest.

>>365460886
Come hang out tomorrow!

>>365460925
Crunch compression makes some textures noticeably look a lot worse, it should be used on a case by case basis. Not "always".
It also doesn't help for VRAM usage. And the compressed asset bundle size isn't gonna get much smaller from it either, because those are already compressed.
Also an even more important note, Android (i.e. Quest) gets even less benefit from this because the textures already have to be uncompressed in RAM, not just VRAM.

>>365461248
Wish I could but I'm not gonna be able to get on before new years maybe... I'm also too shy to join

>>365460848
>You also said to put it there for avatars to get a light direction, you didn't say it was to enable the depth buffer. And by the way, you can also activate the depth buffer by having the directional light with shadows affect an "unused" layer.

This is correct, I'm tired. By "avatars" I mean player's shaders and by "disabling shadows" I fuckin' derped and should have said "don't let it do player shadows" by avoiding the layer.
I agree, I wish lots of player's shaders and other effects didn't need it.

>You can't even do that with directional lights
Sure you can, even in udon if you want. You can even do it on an animation on world load since it's realtime, you're just changing the flag on the inspector or disabling the object. Lots of "quality settings" prefabs do it too.
You just need unity to activate the depth buffer for the scene (and it stays on) There's ways to turn it on and off too are not currently exposed either in udon which would be pretty handy for performance reasons when you need it, because you're right, it is heavy.

>>365461383
Well I'll be on all of New Years Eve anyways

>>365461341
>What is compression quality 100
All the benefits none of the hitching or compression artifacting.
Also use amd compressonator if you're feeling really fancy and don't like artifacting but do like massive performance jumps.

I'm gonna get off the board now but I'll leave you guys with a knowledge gift,

merry merry: you can animate the -debug- versions of the inspector. I'll leave you to ponder the madness that can unlock.

Joe Rogan just put up a clip with somebody talking about his VRChat experiences. More normies discovering VRC

>>365462332
like I said it's a case-by-case basis, sometimes 100 still looks worse, and it also requires you to use DXT1 (or 5) instead of BC7. that's two steps down. i'm not going to crunch a single 2k atlas texture, lmao.
>debug
type internal in the about unity window, there's a debug-internal inspector that goes even deeper

>>365462880
What do you mean? VRC has always been THE go to normie VR experience. Since day one.

>tfw schizoid so the autists in /vrg/ are too normie for you

>>365463076
I think anon is saying it causes a lot of lag to load them in 3 steps instead of 1 like crunch does.
I can confirm this can suck on materials that are animated with a float.
on 4k the artifacting is minimal or invisible.
>>365463719

>>365460159
>use mp3 since your computer has native SoC decoding for it.
Source? I don't think any x64 CPUs have special instructions for the mp3 audio codec. I can believe that unity's mp3 decoder is mildly more efficient than its ogg decoder, but they're both software.

>>365465808
gpus do, actually.
Also the quest does too. 0 load on cpu.

>>365465808
You're right, it doesn't. Splinks already extensively tested and documented this years ago in the context of VRC worlds. Everything is a tradeoff and nothing is perfect.
Generally for short and frequent audio clips/sound effects, you should use Decompress on Load for import settings, and PCM or ADPCM for the format.
Vorbis is actually a better tradeoff for longer music tracks than PCM/ADPCM, there's a good reason games use it so often. What you should do however is reduce the quality slider as far as you can.

>>365465898
Lol no, GPU's can encode and decode H.264 as commonly found in an mp4 container. Even then, currently only NVIDIA can do that "properly". You can technically use CUDA to decode mp3 but it would be pointless.
Anyway please stop being so confidently wrong about everything, my head hurts.

>>365465898
>>365468343
Also since I forgot to state this more clearly, your GPU is not used to decode mp3, that's straight up nonsense.
And I don't think the Quest necessarily has a separate chip for decoding mp3's either.

NVENC and NVDEC, Intel's Media SDK (QSV) and AMD's AME AMdec all support mp3 as one of the hardware accelerated formats, yeah, due to being able to use them in video streams.
Hard to find those specs but they're out there. Look at documentation of things like AVPro and software like plex, it's not great and most people forget to install chipset decode support because it's not obvious. Just installing LAAV splitter is a huge performance boost for things like that when you can override windows default behavior to use your native SoC instead (with some caviats)
The audio hardware is hard to get details on decode/encode matrix lists.

>>365471260
>video decoding
Yes, VIDEO. Not audio.
The implementations I've seen only took/spit out raw H.264.
Even if Unity somehow leverages that for audio too (which I doubt, because they only very recently started using it for video, and only in HDRP), whether the source file is in ogg or mp3 isn't gonna matter.

>>365471636
I love the backpaddling that happens every time you get owned.
The level of denial is off the charts. What do you think plays -media- in general in windows?
What does unity and the various extensions that handle formats use for that in windows builds?
I'll give you a hint, it's a foundation for media in an operating system.

I wished he wanted to spend time with me as much I do with him.

>>365471971
lol this entire exchange has been wild to watch.
>>365471636
MF takes over all media playback in windows unless you have ASIO and other things like DTS-X.
Things like intel's gpu and nvidia and amd gpus have this little section in their control panel for video. It "hooks" all media playback by listening to the kernel and COMPLETELY takes over, if your drivers are set up right. Some software does that natively, but when you play anything considered media using a kernel codec filter driver in windows, it's almost -always- using a hardware decoder, unless you installed cccp or klite or lav and didn't configure it, which would force it back out to software and slow your system down. And yes, that means mp3 playback inside and out of video too. Stop fighting, you're clearly both knowledgeable, just in different areas.

>Map makers should aim for like 2-4 PBR materials
Agreeing massively here. This is the biggest hiccup for performance as you say about the cost of drawcalls. Which is why we take extra care of doing pic related to Atlas the static part of the whole map as possible. 4 materials for all the non moving meshes is so good on frames.

Too many diffirent Reflection probes also hinders as they break up batching. Can only batch things using the same reflection probes.

Didn’t know about the skybox and postprocessing affecting signifivantly before this book. But I guess different settings on it affect perf differently. Bloom and DOF being the biggest hogs.

Unity released this book recently and it’s a pleasure to read if you haven’t yet.
The balance between visual fidelity and performance is always a tough one once you get to the edge cases of optimization.

It’s an esoteric tip that only gets really figured out after many attempts. That other anon is pretty smart and I am sure have made lots of maps before as well.

Something that I personally use is placing all vrc_pickups inside the sane hierarchy. This allows the script to handle it’s updates much more effeciently

>>365456376
>and using crunch compression on images in a format the target platform does efficiently is super important too for performance, probably more than most things we've mentioned so far.
Anon if you are still here do you have a short list of these? I mainly just use the default crunch compression settings. This sounds like a really amazing trick for further optimization. I’d love to chat with you sometime about all these here or in-game and we can probably share tricks we’ve gathered. That is assuming you’re not already a full master of this in whoch case allow me to treat you to a metaphorical VR lunch to pick your brain.

>>365460848
This is what I am confused on as well. I’ve tried everybit to avoid depth buffer activation before cause I thought it was a massive hit on performance. Many a times I get sad on the visual fidelity I had to sacrfice just to not have it.

No problem cвeтитьcя в тeмнoтe :)

Merry Christmas /vrg/, here's some extra keys I had from bundles.
Until You Fall and House Flipper VR lol are Steam keys, and Space Junkies is an Oculus key.

This might be the wrong place for this, but I want to get my mom some Quest 2 games for Christmas. She likes puzzle games, but she'll play pretty much anything as long as it doesn't require twitch gamer reflexes™. Some of her favorites are Beat Saber and The Room VR. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Yes, Facebook sucks, but she doesn't exactly have a gaming PC lying around.

Thank you and Merry Christmas bros.

>>365516426
Thanks a lot Anon, I took the House Flipper one. Flat game was very nice and comfy so I'm going to enjoy it in VR too!

>>365516426
Thanks for Until You Fall. I've had that on my wishlist for quite some time.

>>365516681
Let her play Boneworks and Alyx. She can take her time on those games. She sounds nice I hope she has fun, frogposter....

>>365517062
Thanks. Sadly it has to be quest, since she doesn't have a good PC and I don't live with her.

>>365517276
You should take better care of the woman that birthed and raised you.

>buy redout and all the DLC
>seems like a fantastic game, except
>VR is blurry as shit, can tell its way lower res than the native index resolution even though i set it at 150%
>cant customize keybinds basically at all, just some shitty presets with little to no difference

>>365516681
get her talos principle and she'll be thinkin for a good ass while

>>365517609
what the fuck are you talking about

>>365517901
Maybe give her the gift of impregnation or something. Not VR games.

>>365517901
Buy her a gaming PC and an Index

>>365518004
I got her other shit, this is just something extra

>>365516681
A Fisherman's Tale and I Expect You To Die are fun puzzle games.
Tetris Effect is neat if she likes Tetris, but I dunno how it is on Quest controllers.
Job Simulator might be fun for her to mess around with, but it's better as an introduction to VR stuff. Might be boring if she's already played a bunch.
Maybe Pistol Whip if she likes rhythm stuff. I thought the lowest difficulty was harder than the easier Beat Saber difficulties though.

>>365518173
Thanks. She's actually played Fisherman's Tale, and I was looking at both of the other two games. How's IEYTD compared to the sequel?

Alright, at this point I've done enough research and I'm tired of hemming and hawing over whether to save up for PCVR or just go for a Quest. I'm just gonna get the Quest 2 during some christmas sale and be done with it.
How fucked am I? How much sketchy shit is zucc gonna get up to with my data?

I really like the Christmas gun skins. I like how even the chip for the ammo counter has a little pine tree on it. I'm definitely going to use this one year round.

>>365516681
Outer Wilds and Talos Principle are as good as puzzle games in VR get. Maybe Myst if you enable the classic FMVs.

>>365524403
You made your decision already. Are you looking for validation?

>>365517731
Get BallisticNG instead. It's a much better game that has proper VR rendering.

>>365524403
Q-Quest 2 is really good even though it's really cheap...!

>>365524687
You and Monika poster are the same person. Prepare to be assassinated.

>>365524403
He's definitely doing sketchy things but it is unlikely to be anything that will affect you individually.

You can always log in with a fake account or something when you set up your device. If you are more concerned than that, you can always set up your network firewall rules to block it from internet access altogether, after the initial setup.

goodnight, I love you

I had heard that you can get your Quest bricked if you do that, though. My best hope is that it eventually gets jailbroken or something equivalent.

>>365526098
That's literally just doomsaying rumermongering. There have been zero proven and recorded cases of this happening. It's all just people recirculating things they've heard because it's sensational and we all hate facebook so it's an easy circlejerk point, or it's people who know a guy who's friend's cousin's stepbrother's wife's son's roomate it definitely happened to.

Should I switch to a Booth base? My current model is so difficult to work with that I avoid VRchat because I can't stand spending so many needless hours to update anything about it, but also don't want to keep using the same model with no changes. I plan to make my own from scratch eventually, but I want something to use in the meantime that isn't so draining.

>>365548208
Yes, you can also make scratch stuff for the base and sell as practice.

>>365548208
If your current base is hard to work with, you could indeed just switch to something else. Doesn't have to be booth, could be just about anything.

Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.

Recently my vrchat keeps crashing in worlds that have 40-50 players or more in them. According to the crash message it is because of a memory problem. I checked the RAM usage after entering the instance again, the game crashed at about 14/16GB being used. I also didn't have this problem a few months ago. Are 16GB just not enough anymore? Or is it a VRAM issue? (I have 3.5GB)

>>365562887
3.5GB is quite low for VRAM, that could be part of the cause. I had the same issue on my GTX 970.
You should turn down the supersampling in SteamVR and that will probably help a great deal. You may need to install OpenVR Advanced Settings to forcibly override it and lower it to 1x (or even lower).
Also with that little VRAM, you should hide models that are over 30 MB by default in your performance settings. Normally I hate blocking/hiding stuff, but in larger instances with low VRAM you will basically have to do this.

>>365563073
Thanks for the tip anon, I'll try this!

>>365560720
Tried the link cable but it has really odd Artifacting on the lower half of the screen, sometimes tinted white, etc...), shit purchase imo.

Get Virtual Desktop from their jew store for about 20 bucks. Works amazing and has a ton of customization options.

I swapped the default facecover for the vrcover because it kept giving me migraines for some reason, ontop of them being actually washable unlike the shitty low quality garbage facebook tosses in there. Never looked back.

>>365563389
Is ALVR any good?

>>365564485
Haven't used it myself yet, but heard good things about it from others. Here and there lacking polish, but mostly fine. It's free, so you could just give it a try and see if it works well for you.

Merry christmas, you nerds. Hopefully this helps with your blender endeavours. BetterFBX is around but nobody's updated the uploads in months

Gonna get a quest 2, I don't give a fuck if Zucc knows what I fap to or what anime I watch I want to play re4.

>>365565839
yeah, it's a surprisingly soulful game and takes advantage of VR well, hope it gets a chance at next year's VR GOTY since it should be coming out of early access then

>>365566824
i've got index, but i'll buy q2 soon just to hybrid use it as wireless hmd + try out quest exclusives. one way or another, corporate invigilation is a sad part of our daily lives that cannot be avoided unless you try really really hard and give up on modern comfort of life

How enjoyable is GTFO in VR? Now that the game is closer to being proper and the VR sounds like it works great with it I'm thinking of getting it just for that.

>>365419085 (OP)
spending the holidays with fetishists and furries anon? really?

Just caved and bought a Quest 2 on special to hold me over until the Deckard. Can I sidestep the facebook shit if I have an oculus account from 2012? Also have there been any updates to Walking Dead? that game was fantastic.

>>365568527
Even the older version of the VR mod was fun, and I've heard it's better now.

>>365568564
>fetishists and furries
but no one invited you, so there should not be any.

>>365565164
Thanks mom! I feel this might be a little advance for me currently but I'm sure to get a use out of it in the future.

>>365454872
Any idea where to find a good model for the wolf cock?

>>365568658
No way to sidestep the Facebook stuff for now. There's a way to unlink it once you've set it up, but it breaks some stuff.

I will buy VR and FBT in 2022 Allah willing

>>365569098
>No way to sidestep the Facebook stuff for now.
Well fuck. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered. Does the unlink break anything important? just the fact that they might be able to turn telemetry back on silently makes me feel uneasy. I bought this thing for wireless vr chat trips. Is it still risky to use a throwaway facebook account?

>>365454872
go to trash you freak

>>365567337
Idort is the best way to do VR, especially once PSVR2 comes out and has stuff like Gran Turismo 7. Only turbo-poors stick to one HMD when they are getting cheaper and cheaper.

>>365569391
see >>365524842

>>365569391
No Virtual Desktop due to its DRM or online in any Quest games.

>>365569391
If you're just using it for wireless PCVR over airlink, I think you'd be fine unlinking with Oculess. If you wanna use the Quest version of it though, you might have some issues. Unlinking supposedly breaks some stuff for Quest native games, but cracked ones might still work.
I don't think a burner Facebook account is much of a risk if you're not planning on buying stuff through it, the worst case scenario I've heard of is them locking the account and asking for proof of identity, and I don't think it's actually all that common.

>>365568564
fuck off furfag, your kind isn’t welcome here

>>365569885
I hate the idea of giving Facebook money, but I'll probably end up picking up a Quest 2 eventually. I almost bought one just to mess around with when the refurbs were $200.
PSVR2 might be tempting too if the exclusives are good enough, but I can get by without GT7 for now. I've got plenty of other sims to play.

And if you think I'm done there, you're silly. Here's the latest UV packmaster, which is supposed to be good. https://litter.catbox.moe/y74snl.zip[/spoiler]

>>365570667
If you buy a quest 2 you are technically not giving them money they sell them at a loss

They want to control the metaverse that's why they sell quests 2 for so cheap, if it's cheap more people will get into vr.

>>365570837
Yeah, but it's the principle of the thing.
>>365570896
Honestly, probably just getting rid of a separate account system they didn't want to maintain.
They make money on the games, that's how consoles work.

>>365571610

if gt7 is full vr, i'm going to buy this shit right now this very second. is it actual full vr, or is it just a bunch of predefined non-career singleplayer races/time trials like it (supposedly) was in gt sport?

>>365571775
A full year and some legal issues later, yeah.
You're giving the same company your data either way.

>>365572905
I don't think they've actually given details yet.

>>365571775
Anon... you can't be that dumb right? Just because they're separate means nothing. That is like saying youtube offers you to make a youtube account instead of using a google account. It's the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if they phase out "facebook" accounts for "meta" accounts

Any cool way to play fighting games (3rd strike, tekken) in VR? Like sitting in arcade? Is it possible in vrchat?

So cute

>>365573904
New Retro Arcade: Neon lets you throw together an arcade, but I don't think it actually supports netplay. EmuVR does, but it's like sitting in a bedroom, not an arcade.
You'd have to play stuff in an overlay and stream it somewhere if you wanted to do it in VRChat though.

>>365573904
EmuVR might? It just runs retroarch... It might support acrade cabs? Or at least their at-home console releases

>>365531949
This faggot

>>365555296
>no human enemies
Just because they're made of ash doesn't mean they don't fulfil all the requirements of being human enemies. There are basic police mimics in the first zone and tonnes of them later on. They use squad tactics and rush between pieces of cover, shoot back, and have a variety of weapons. Enemies are predictable and punish you heavily for being unaware or unprepared. It's a patient game so if you get caught with your pants down it's because you're shit at the game. 2.0 switched to mostly baked lighting but 1.0 is still available if you want the shadows back. Everything else is really detailed. Basically skill issue. Git gud.

>>365575809

Use Link or VD and play them on your PC.

>>365577924
not yet, no. that said, the smaller "zones" make me feel like I'm in the matrix and not in, well, a STALKER-like environment. especially with how small they are.

it wasn't really all that disappointing to me, but i don't think it's right to call it stalker vr because it doesn't do what stalker does at all. feels more like some open world exploration survival horror

You can't walk from edge to edge of an area in less than 10 minutes in STALKER, no.

Apparently the Oculus app on iPhone is the top downloaded app today. Loads of people are getting Quest 2. Bros zucc is winning ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No shit. Nothing is competing with the quest except for chink shit

anon, the areas in stalker didn't take literally 2 minutes to cross.

It's for the best. Gabe does jack shit to push forward VR while Zucc at least funds new quality games. The PCVR community being just gay sex in VRChat is emblematic of the problem.

Does the G29 work with the PS5? I'll be very tempted to get one once it gets exclusives that aren't Demake Souls and that four hour long Ratchet and Clank game.

just get a real or physical digital piano

New to this general but not vrchat im playing on occulus

is there a particular server/world you guys use?

im tired of talking to russians

>>365586676
>im playing on occulus

>>365586031
good piano simulator for vr doesn't exists

Piano relies heavily on the haptics, you cannot play it properly without having physical piano keys, and no, we don't have haptic gloves which could emulate them.

>archery games
The Lab, heh, In Death

>>365586676
>im playing on oculus

>>365586676
Play the PC version and you can go to PC only worlds where things are marginally better.

>I tried VRSNS, but I couldn't get used to the community and quit. Do you have any such experience?

>Many VRSNS and online games are designed on the assumption that you have friends. Rooms that only allow friends. Content that requires multiple players. Bonuses for inviting friends.

>Unmetaverse is a VRSNS for people who don't have any friends.

Goddammit, this game sounds perfect for me but it requires F*cebbok or G*ogle to login, neither of which I have.

>>365588104
>No voice chat
>.We've eliminated the biggest barrier for shady people: voice chat. No more checking your microphone every minute to make sure it's not unmuted.

Are you on the PC or Quest version of the game?

>bro just make a burner account. you only need to give them your number, address, social security and a 2x2 picture

>>365589141
The part that sucks is that Google voice and burner phone numbers explicitly don't work. My actual phone number got banned after I mentioned last year that I vote Republican so I'm just SOL when it comes to using an Oculus.

>>365572905
They haven't said anything in that regard. With PSVR2 being far less gimped than PSVR1 apparently I trust Kaz to deliver.

Wow this game really hurts your feelings doesn't it?

I had a friend that I was going to play with and we decided on a time to hangout and generally we just hop on public worlds to chill and a few people conversate with us time to time and even join us randomly.

Anyways, my friend decides to give a friend of attention since I hinted that there's a good chance they might be into them. My friend decides to do this during our hangout session while were in a public world and of course the attention is all on them most of the time. It feels like a massive fuck you to me because they're not even willing to do this during our window of hanging out. During that time I just observed the other people in the world a bit and contemplated life. They apologized but I'm still bitter about the whole thing and I plan on telling them off on how messed up the whole thing is because it feels incredibly rude to do that to a friend...

>>365595074
Never bother complaining about anything on this site because you'll just be told its your fault.

>>365595074
>omg he's not giving me attention I'm sad :(
This is what you guys do on VRchat?

Any good recommendations from the steam sale?

>>365596351
Yeah that bitch. movement and such seemed way too still to be a real player but still sketch

>>365595074
You sound like an actual woman, so congratulations I guess.

>>365565164
thankies, does the 2.8+ include 3.0?

>>365599368
Yes. 2.8+ means version 2.8 and above (including 3.0)

>>365595813
Swords of Gurrah is dead outside of Discord and the lobbies in these threads, but is pretty fun and well worth the money. There aren't any other games that do proper PVP dueling. Sairento is cool but kind of janky. The movement system is slick and the bullet time mechanics work very well. That said the difficulty and the balance is a mess with the loot+leveling system on top of three different difficulty adjusters. Make sure to turn on flipping if your stomach isn't queasy for maximum ninja style points.

How long are Index controllers supposed to last? I can only get like 3 hours of playing on them before they get down to 30%. Isn't that a bit short?

>>365600625
That sounds short. When mine were fresh I'd get exactly 7 hours out of them.

>>365589141
When was this implemented? I made a fresh account just a few months ago and they only required an email.

>>365595813
Gurrah is great if you're prepared to play with /vrg/ or have friends to play it with. Completely dead in pubs and even the official game discord is a ghost town most of the time.

>>365600859
It had been like that since at the very least 2019. Do you live outside the US?

This would be a reasonable reaction if you two were actually dating.
Otherwise, you'll be acting like a total sperg.
Either ask for a relationship or be happy with the friendship you got.

Look at all those new quest 2 users.

>>365580789
Version 1 has a single zone but it's not the same one as version 2.

I live in the United States. In fact, I was so surprised by your statement that I just went and tried to make a new Facebook account right now.

Took me 5 minutes and did not require me to use a mobile number.

This, people who react like this are people who are unable to socialize in a public world and rely on that person for conversation. Be a fucking wingman and either help the situation or make new friends in that instance. Not everything has to be about 'me me me.' The apology for not paying them attention is both more than sufficient and not needed.

Dirt Rally 2 is cool. But I have no idea what the British person is telling you as you drive. How do I figure out what the notation means?

DR2 pace notes are bloated as fuck. No idea if it's my language pack, but sometimes my pace notes are lagging behind and tard codriver is calling corners i've already passed because he has too much info to give. For the longest time, I was driving in DR2 just on the rules of
>listen to left, listen to right, build up awareness of "one" and "two", slow down when unsure what was said, brain filters out the rest

Though i must admit that it's not impossible to listen to other shit with time, and it's often useful, it's just extremely tiring and confusing compared to pace notes that consist only of necessary info.

>>365606803
Looks like you just snapped your finger muscles. Go get that checked as soon as you can, it's most likely going to be a surgery to get that fixed.

Just download the old APK for the moble app and register the quest without any FB account real or fake.

Why do you never use your mic though?

EU accents, especially German accents, are nasty.

>>365608703
I use it all the time though...

>>365608703
Because I'd rather not people give me more attention.

Okay so I was thinking of upgrading from the Odyssey 2 headset
Windows Mixed Reality has been a mixed bag no pun intended. It's fine if my arms are directly in front of my face, but if I wind back to throw something, the arm spazzes because the headset can't see it. I don't think I can add trackers for feet or arms.

I'm seeing that new headsets may be coming soon, should I wait for those? I only use it for VRChat, H3VR, Carrier Command, and VTOL VR

>>365611372
how is carrier command, especially after the vr patches?
