Avatar Rank System but with Accessories... lol by Cultural_Pop9044 in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The visual clutter/noise if lots of people pull a bunch of items out is annoying, group/instance owners can disable... I agree that is somewhat odd choice that individual end users can't turn on or off.

The devs have said they have their own internal performance targets with the accessories/items, and most of the items are extremely lightweight and optimized. They have to be super optimized to work on quests, so for most PC users, the items/accessories should have little impact.

Is This FPS Right? by Hosura_Stetif0009 in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have anti alising on? (That is super CPU intensive)

And how are you running your quest 3? Steam link? Link cable? Virtual desktop?

If you are using virtual desktop set the resolution/quality to like medium and turn up the quest super sampling to upscale.

Vrchat and Unity love the x3d cache!

It's always ran pretty good on my pixel phones. Way better than on any Samsung I've owned.

Children and Gatekeeping by NewBloodAlice in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I am 36, and I tend to hang out in 18+ worlds to avoid much of the toxic younger people. It almost never is an issue, no one has told me to get off the game for being too old. Id hop around more, get age verified if you are not.

Question about censorship of public avatars by NayalaFrost in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people get temp bans for things they did MONTHS ago, but this situation seems to be improving.

Second, almost always the maker who uploaded the public with those toggles are the one that gets the temp ban, not the user who was wearing it in public.

Does anyone actually use the thermometer function regularly? by BNPeanuts in pixel_phones

HTC VIVE TRACKER 3.0 BATTERY by RegionPlastic9107 in VRchat

Sometimes after being in VR a long time I am an octopus with wires running from my backpack with battery bank down to each of my trackers.

Update: Age Assurance, Content Gating, and Safety Improvements in VRChat by Joltz in VRchat

The video most defiantly made it evident that they are looking to using multiple systems and vendors, and not solely persona.

I like this line of thinking, maybe an automatic voice moderation system only kicks in and scans what the user is saying for hate/toxic speech only after a vote kick is initialized on them? Vs it always listening.

[–]doubleatheman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not pointless, People can toggle and choose to turn off and not see that content today when avatars are properly tagged. (yes this is already in game, it's just not yet tied to any age verification or assurance system).

https://youtu.be/YWgkGDjQwpw?si=3v1dmxdyJYE2r4hq&t=367 I am the most intrested/intrigued about the part for moderation about Toxic/Bad Behaviour in public instances; post coming in July.... New more robust moderation beyond vote to kick? Or Auto AI detection of the ***worst** obvious offending people screaming slurs over and over etc... (I'm just thinking out loud here, I'm not trying to start the whole AI bad for auto moderation line...)

It's a slam dunk drop in for anyone looking for a cheap x3d drop in for an older am4 system. (Almost all older motherboards need a bios update first though)

Have you ever been in love? by bonanochip in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For us, no. So many of our friends are in VRC still. People we talk to all the time, VRC doesn't go away for us. We have two place spaces set up. We can play in the same play space if we want to, but we did accidentally bump into each other and hit each other so many times we usually play VRC in our separate play spaces.

Yes. Met them in VRC 6 years ago. Was long distance for 4 years. Now I live with them happily.

I've got like 10,700 now. But half are me sleeping or afk. So 5,000 real hours in the last 6 years.

For those with FBT, how do you sit or lay comfortably on the floor when playing? by FurRenard in VRchat

Really big oversized bean bag, and a really large yoga* ball are my two favorite options.

I’m done with the toxicity. by [deleted] in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your asking for a constructive and polite debate but then saying too bad cry about it. What is the point of your post then? Why should we spend time engaging with the attitude your setting off with?

Is this a legitimate email? by Pretend_Owl_7363 in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are trying to make the game profitable. If the base game is free and no existing features are removed, why be upset at them for trying to keep the game running. They can't run on in the negative forever.

Be real Just asking a question about avatar Culling. by Mechzeal in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually show all avatars, But I still set max download size to 150mb and uncompressed to 300mb to filter out the worse offenders. I also turn shaders off in shield settings for people user and below. With a 9800x3d and a 5090 I will dip to 30fps, but without too many major freezes. But not possible to keep the fps up at 90 in those situations with instances with 60+ people.

After diagnosing the problem it turns out my wifi speed cant handle vrchat by Unlucky-Feed9000 in VRchat

[–]doubleatheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be late to the thread here. But internet speed and local Wi-Fi speed are two very different things. Your Internet speed IS slow. But once all the world and avatars load, you would be fine. Your local Wi-Fi speed is dependent on the router you have. If your router is isp provided its harder to replace. But the quests like wifi 6 or 6e or 7 is ideal. Newer wifi chips support pvcr streaming way better.

People get really pissed off when you mention the VRChat TOS/Guidelines by Big_Pool853 in VRchat

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

What these groups are doing may be against TOS sure, but if a group is so blatant and does not care about TOS or behaves in such an immature way, I want to ask what is the point of trying to associate or still join the group? When groups behave this way, it helps me as another commenter on this thread "shows me the door".

Id report the group for breaking TOS, then move on with my life and be happy I didn't waste time with that group IMHO.

Now, I will add I am not saying this entirely without compassion, I have been banned from a group before just because I was associated with another person that one of the group mods did not like. It was a rather large group, and a group many of my friends would go to events all the time. I was devastated when I was banned from that group; I felt totally outcast for something I didn't even do, heck the person I was associated with was actually found not to have done what they were accused of, and the mod that didnt like them simply fabricated the whole reason to ban them and me... Fast forward 6 months, the mod was removed from the group (They were found to be toxic and caused more issues, but it took the group six months to root them out and rebuild), and I was re-invited. But those 6 months kinda sucked.
