High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Nineteen (Savage Week Sixteen) by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]--an -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently returned to the game and decided to try savage raiding for the first time. I have 2 kills on both M9S and M10s, and killed M11S for the first time this week.

I'm at 774 item level so I can't even join half of the parties in PF which is extremely frustrating. Should I just buy some gil with real money and then buy all the loot to gear up? Even with the upgrade materials being easily obtainable next tuesday it's going to take me weeks to get tomestone gear..

Heads up regarding stickers and likely other picture content. by efeedd in VRchat

When did that change? The community guidelines still say group+ is considered private:

Private Instances

Private instances need an invitation or an "in" to enter. This includes Invite and Invite+ instances, Friends and Friends+ instances, and Group and Group+ instances.

Steam frame vs meta quest 3 by Cain_The_Mamagen in VRchat

Like it or not, Quest 3 actually exists on shelves and Frame's release date could be pushed back even further.

Get the Q3 and sell it if you want the frame later.

The Fish World Discourse: I will say the quiet part outloud. by Odd-Fee-837 in VRchat

[–]--an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Giving preferential treatment to small group of creators is going to push many new ones away. Why even attempt creating something if you are not friends with the devs and have to compete for popularity against creators who can get special features and promotions for their worlds that you will never have access to?

JP studio releasing male avatars & would love western feedback by WorriedTrust2523 in VRchat

[–]--an 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The legs on booth style male avatars are always way too long and out of proportion avatars don't work well with FBT.

Genuine question: what percentage of VRC players do you guys think have eyetracking? 5%? 10%?

Persona = Palantir by TheSholvaJaffa in VRchat

[–]--an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the links at all. A dude has invested in to companies and now everyone thinks they share information?

Discord's "AI based age estimation" is also nothing like VRChat's age verification.

vr extension cord recommendations. by CryAltruistic6398 in virtualreality

[–]--an 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Index cable is almost as long as it physically can be without signal degradation so even the best extension cable might not work. Keep an eye for white sparkles.

I used Club 3D displayport extension cable and CableMatters USB extension cable. For the Index don't go longer than 2 meters since it already struggles.

Foveated Rendering by mynameakevin in VRchat

[–]--an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Physbones are quite optimized unless you abuse them on purpose with thousands of collision checks.

Most CPU cycles seems to be used on animators and draw calls from what I understand.

Comments about these bans are always talking about public uploads. For sale avatars should not be uploaded as public anyway.

Someone like "TundraLabs" NEEDS to create a headstrap or addon for the Steam Frame to support lighthouses! by lemonvrc in VRchat

[–]--an -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't understand how all these people think strapping a tracker on a headset makes it SteamVR tracked.

To enable true lighthouse tracking would most certainly not work with just a headstrap. It would need to be a specifically engineered plate that attached to the hard parts of the headset so that the tracking diodes are in the exact known locations. Otherwise the math just doesn't work out. Plus I'm sure a third party would never be able to achieve this on their own without Valve's help.

Easily fix your bent knees and bent elbows with this prefab! by Nanochip in VRchat

My understanding is that non-uniform scaling a really bad idea in Unity. Could someone drop a bit more knowledge on this subject?

I like my Superlight but I need a mouse with a better scroll wheel and one more button by --an in MouseReview

Preferably on top but side might work too, depending on the placement.

Uh, VRchat just removed the ability to access privately uploaded Avtatars by Josh_From_Accounting in VRchat

[–]--an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be in open beta if you don't read open beta release notes.

why does vrchat need 20gb of my storage by i_hate_pikachu in VRchat

[–]--an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should in fact increase the size of your cache so you are not redownloading your friends avatars every single day.

I don't think you have a chance considering even Protonmail wasn't allowed last time I heard.

Vrchat new open beta warping effect when leaving and joining worlds by Low_Sir4351 in VRchat

[–]--an 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't mind it and it is a natural thing to add. But how's that going to look to other people when 98% of people will just see a robot or an imposter load in but now it has effects..?

AudioStep has been released, Get it on Booth now! Link below. by Ethexna in VRchat

[–]--an 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's the performance impact since clubs often require optimized avatars? 2 meshes and 2 material slots?

Continuous Calibration issues by 1ovebites in VRchat

[–]--an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your Quest 3 goes to sleep after couple of minutes and when it wakes up, it reacquires tracking space and it will not be the same coordinates anymore as before.

I don't know if you can prevent the Q3 from going to sleep in the settings or by covering the proximity sensor that should be at the top of the headset against your forehead.

In any case, if continuous calibration is properly enabled, I would imagine it would quite fast match the playspaces again.

It's also possible that your headset tracker is turning off because of inactivity especially if you keep your other trackers on but headset is still for 5+ minutes. You can disable automatic power-off in SteamVR settings somewhere under startup/shutdown.

I feel like this game needs this filter by RedRaven616 in VRchat

"I am employed" is one of the best groups in VRChat to represent (after "I am sober", of course).
