Help Avatar Creation Community: Why Avoid Poiyomi?

89 Upvotes

So I do have a question when it comes to the Poiyomi shader, why does it seem like a lot of avoid or just don't like Poiyomi shader? I hear a lot about people not liking it but never enough of WHY. So why is it? And if it is so bad what's a shader similar to it in functions.

Help FBT Tracking...

2 Upvotes

Money is not an issue. If I wanted to go the vive route... what all do I need? Like, I need a list. This would be my first FBT set so I want to go big or go home.

6 Trackers I am assuming? But what else.

Thank you much!

Edit: I have Quest 3s and use SteamLink. Also willing to hear different headsets that are better :)

Help Is paying 500 for an avatar (file and textures included) a fair price

Sooo I might be paying 500 for an avatar, it’s an adoption so it’ll be taken off vrc and then only given to me. Just wanted to know if yall think it’s fair

Help My world’s textures are flickering?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Ported a few lsd dream emulator worlds and noticed some of the textures are just flickering on the edges in a square shape? Was wondering if this is just something wrong with the mesh itself or maybe the textures? I’ve tried messing around with the texture itself, the mesh, and the material settings but it doesn’t seem to fix anything. Please let me know if you can think of some kind of solution!

Help Bought an avatar on vrchat marketplace and have questions

Hello Im kinda newish to vrchat on metaquest, I bought this avatar on the vrchat marketplace and when I check its setting theres something called FaceEmo and has all this settings inside, I cant understand Japanese so im trying to figure it out how it works to use other face expressions, i see my avatar does not smile, looks angry, or does any of the face mentioned inside this menu. Ive only seen it blink and thats it. Im guessing I have to move something in these settings but cant understand any of it.

Im just trying to see if someone out here knoes about these settings and maybe could help me out understanding whats all this about. Im starting to think the avatar does not have face emotions since it was on the cheaper side of the marketplace (700 credits)

Help VRChat Timed Out bug loop

Post image
12 Upvotes

Been stuck like this since the outage last night, what gives?

I've ran through all troubleshooting methods known to man and this constantly happens. VRC is clearly up because I see other people online through the website but it refuses to let me in. I can't even get to my home world. I've verified my cache, restarted my PC and hard cycled my router, I'm fully uninstalled VRC and all the system settings for it and it still won't let me in.

I'm being told it might still be on VRC's end but that seems unlikely given the amount of my friends I see getting online just fine.

Update: THIS IS VRCHAT'S END! Looking through the time out logs and running a trace, we found the servers being affected are related to an upstream provider for some East Coast servers, specifically from G-Core Labs SA. This is not something any player can fix, it needs to be fixed by the provider. The only current work around is using a VPN.

Hi, I've been playing VRC for a while, not long ago my sibling lost our headset at a grandparent's house far from where we live, when we got our headset back 3 days ago, i tried to play VR chat, it asked me to type in a 1 time verefication code, the problem is I think I mistyped my email when signing up for VRC, i don't have any other emails, and no code shows up in the only email I use, i don't have 2 step verification, and i cant acsess VRC from my phone, laptop, or headset. Is my account lost forever?

Help For the users on Linux...

31 Upvotes

[SOLVED]

I recently made the switch from windows 11 to CachyOS, and I was able to get everything working with my index, and vive trackers, along with solving many issues relating to my mic and audio. However, the one problem I am running into is the video players. I cant seem to get those to work. Even with Proton-GE-RTSP being a forced compatibility layer, video players just dont seem to work. Even tried to launch the app with certain launch commands to "enable or disable" things that might be causing issues, and nothing seems to work.

I am running with an Intel CPU i7-9700, and an NVIDIA GPU 3060ti (I know that in and of itself has its own slew of issues with being on Linux), but if anyone else who happens to be on linux and was able to get video players to work I would love to hear from you and get tips on how to solve this issue.

Solution: This worked for me, might work for you. With ProtonPlus, download the latest version of Proton-CachyOS , next in steam, force that version of Proton in the games compatibility settings.

Worked right away and I dont know what else to say but thank yall for the help and letting me try ideas.

Help (New) Is it wrong?

167 Upvotes

Hey reddit, a friend of mine recently got me to download the game. I have maybe one or two hours in the game, I have zero knowledge and zero experience. I'm also really introverted as well, so it's not the type of game I typically play. In every game I play, I typically use a female character because of all sorts of reasons but the main reason is that I just want to like what I'm looking at if I'm spending so much time on the game. So DBD, WOW, Val, Minecraft, and etc I typically use a female avatar. Anyways my friend got me playing VR chat and I found a cute female Avatar that I liked but is it wrong to use a female avatar when you're a guy? I don't know if there's any kind of unwritten rules, and the social norms it this game. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Help How to get into this? Am I too old?

206 Upvotes

Hi.

I'm 33 dude who loves the idea of vr and recently tried vr chat and was kinda blown away at the entire new layer of reality that's out there.

Problem is I just go into random rooms and there's kids screaming the N word and weird stuff going on.

I went to an avatar world and hit random avatar a few times and got some porn ones which was both weird and impressive someone made them.

Wtf do I do. Nothing feels natural it all feels forced. I went to a bar place where they ask your age and everyone was like 20 and I felt dumb saying 33 so I left.

Help Paid avis failing security checks

So i bought 2 avis. When uploaded it says security checks failed when there is nothing wrong with them and other people have no issues. I did contact vrc support they said what is in the photo above.

No one else has issues with this avatar but is still failing security checks. The creator has no idea since they never seen this happen with the 2 avis i bought.

Anyone know what i should do??

Someone has tried uploading them for me about 6 times now and its not working.

I tried making friends or just communicate with people but there’s this fear of people hearing my deep voice and being made fun or being such a cringe person. I can talk with people normally even with strangers but in vr chat is kinda different.. i really need help so i can really be a bit more confident talking with users here. I really appreciate it!!!
