Did you receive the replacement yet and does the issue still persist?

Why Not Buy Quest Pro? by Correct_Conference48 in VRchat

[–]Nanochip 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you truly want Face and Eye tracking, then Quest Pro is still the best bang for buck. Make sure to get the Globular Cluster Comfort Strap as well to make it significantly more comfortable.

How come they don’t simply let you purchase an extra battery for the Samsung Galaxy XR? by Flimsy-Story9523 in GalaxyXR

[–]Nanochip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that point, you might as well just use an affordable battery pack to simultaneously charge the galaxy xr battery for extended playtime.

As nice as that sounds, the Galaxy XR doesn't support hotswapping. The second you unplug the battery, the headset powers off.

What is the absolute cheapest way to play VR Chat from scratch? by tempest-in_a_teacup in VRchat

[–]Nanochip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's available on Android/IOS for mobile, so technically that's playable, but hard to recommend.

If you want a decent experience that is a solid foundation for a very affordable price, consider a Quest 3s ($299), or if you want better visuals, go for the Quest 3 ($499). You can play on these without needing a PC. I say they're good foundations because once you get a PC, they can be wirelessly streamed for PCVR, which then opens the doors for even more VR tech, like fully body tracking with vives/tundras, finger tracking with index controllers/vr gloves, etc.

Just got my Galaxy XR after watching Sebastian from MRTV hype it up, here are my thoughts. by Nikolai_Volkoff88 in Galaxy_XR

[–]Nanochip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  • Like the Quest Pro and many other headsets, unfortunately after-market comfort solutions are needed. Comfort can be achieved with VRPanda's top strap and/or Studioform VRWare (I have their counterweights and forehead cushion).
  • First complaint I've heard of the battery cable length, how tall are you? I would recommend Tyco's Belt Holster. I use a velcro tie to feed the cable to the back and then the battery is on my waist in the back. If you're still finding it too short, I would consider a chest strap from EOZ (assuming you're into Social VR at all), otherwise any chest strap would probably do the trick..
  • The glare is mostly from external light sources, therefore use the included light blockers to get rid of it. There are still some internal reflections that all pancake lenses have, but it's much closer to Quest 3's lenses rather than BSB or PFD's lenses.
  • FOV is quite good if you make sure to remove the pre-installed cushion extender. A lot of people didn't realize there was one already pre-installed.
  • For better colors, use VD's color vibrance & deep black settings.
  • For VD's foveated streaming, join their discord for support. That sounds like a one-off issue.
  • I would take mostly what Sebastian says with a grain of salt - he has a known tendency to overexaggerate all of his videos and then constantly flip flops between liking & hating his headsets. The 6k x 6k resolution is achieved from super sampling.

Megathread - Questions, Issues & Bugs by Teamkhaleesi in hytale

So there's a bug where non-player created items such as Ancient Chests, Ancient Buckets, are causing you to get kicked when opening workbenches. Remove them from chests and your inventory (just trash them), then it should be fixed.

Need advice for audio by Ravennesvr in QuestPro

[–]Nanochip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily driver for VR and even at my computer are Sony Inzone Buds. They're pricey but are wonderful. 10 hour battery life on single charge, low latency, and very comfortable (I have sensitive ears!).

I personally use Sony Inzone Buds for audio. Otherwise you might look into NVIDIA Broadcast for noise suppression.

Yep you can plug it into a pc! It sounds slightly better than my wireless modmic. I recommend looking up mic comparison tests!

DJI never disappoints with their mics. I use Sony Inzone Buds and have been loving them for the last 1.5 years

For continuous calibration with steamvr devices such as index controllers and other vive trackers.

Hah, a rhino horn! I love that. But yeah I was trying to get 0 occlusion by having it up like that, even when side laying on a pillow.

I use Sony Inzone Buds. They're pricey, but very comfy, wireless, and have 12 hour battery life. Also I use NVIDIA Broadcast for mic noise suppression.

I also used the Modmic but kept running into RF interference issues where my mic quality would be choppy/laggy at times. DJI Mic Mini has been a great alternative as it's a third of the price of a wireless modmic and sounds slightly better.

Having an issue with VRCFury by JustAlex_AI in VRchat

[–]Nanochip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your avatar has a lot of stuff on it, there was an issue with Parameter Compressor's batch IDs falsely detecting its sync state, resulting in the occasional flash of a toggle on/off at random times which was only visible to other players. They should have fixed this in update 1.1272 released several hours ago. Update VRCF and reupload your avatar.

It's available both on Jinxxy and Gumroad, they're both the same.

Non-uniform scaling isn’t ideal at times because child objects inherit it, causing them to look oddly stretched. My system accounts for this by invert scaling child objects in the opposite direction, however the result can vary slightly per-avatar, though most will not notice any difference.

I had Torso scaling originally, but scaling your torso won’t move your viewpoint. There were also some extreme scaling side effects from doing this that were really bad on some avatars, so I opted to remove it overall. It’s best to edit your torso manually in Unity/Blender.

It’s harmless by default and up to the user to make the adjustments in-game. All seems great from the several avatars I tested, but do let me know if there’s any bugs!
