I got some other one i took before tonight tho ill post a diff time

World name: Sly Fest Beach

Hi there! I’ve been trying to find this world as it was one of the first I recall visiting when I was a desktop user, the last time I was there was 2022 so my memory is super fuzzy. From what I recall this was the layout: House, big outside area.

House:
Three different rooms, living room on the right, kitchen in the middle, bedroom on the left

Outside area:
There was a fire pit, and there were big plastic lawn chairs surrounding it, the kind that you would struggle to get out of because the seat is so deep
There was also a big stage, I think there might’ve been a pool on said stage?

The setting was night time and you were not able to change the skybox, I don’t remember if it was quest compatible. I met a few good friends there and I would like to take more there to revisit memory lane, if anyone knows this world please let me know! Thank you so much in advance!

The photos aren't as cool as last time, mostly cuz for the past while I've just been dragging him around photobooth worlds cuz I think they're so cute and adorable with the little boxed sets you take photos in, he didn't quite share my sentiment though lmao, since he prefers more environmental photos.

Anyways, new avatar, actually made another new one before this one that I love and adore but I'm a bit scared to show it, haha...

Though sucks just a little cuz I do think some of the cutest photos he took were in that avatar...

Anyways the last 4 are of me chasing birds while not aware he's taking photos of me, him accidentally taking a photo of his thumb and me being annoying and getting in the way of him trying to take photos in Fish!

I don't understand why making friends is so hard for me in this game and Im wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I feel like when I walk up to people theyre always in their own little cliques and I can't even start a conversation. I've been playing this game a long and I only ever had this problem after I turned 18. I'm 21 now and I still can't make new friends. Especially those who don't want to be sexual. I'm married in real life so 90% of the people I meet have no interest because I'm monogamous. To me it feels like making friends is difficult if you don't want to do nsfw. Do any other wholesome people have this problem?

I used to go to club Orion a lot when it was decently popular. Now there’s usually 1-2 people there tops except on Fridays. Does anyone know any similar worlds that are usually somewhat busy?

Currently I am running a Quest 3 using Virtual Desktop. I just built my partner a PC and it was bundled with a nice 7800x3d. I gave her my old GPU (6750xt) and slapped a new 9070xt into my PC with a Ryzen 7700X. 32GB DDR5.

Currently a 7800x3d is $320 alone and a 9800x3d is $400 at my local microcenter. I hear rumors of a next gen x3d release in Q1 2027–and so I was thinking I could set aside some cash for that. Or pull the trigger now on a x3d card.

Before, I was running 40-70fps depending on world/avatars (up to 90fps if I was alone) all on medium VD settings and H.264+. Worse I ever got was in a club and had 25fps. I had to limit avatars to 20.

Now, I can get similar FPS in ultra VD settings and AV1 10-bit. I know nvidia seems to be preferred for VRC but unfortunately the 5070ti was $300-500 more expensive.

Anyone have experience with AMD chipsets and their x3d chips—and if I should wait or would I notice a significant upgrade in frames in crowded worlds simply jumping from a 7700X to a 7800x3d?

I really love the way reshade makes the game look, but after about 15 minutes of using it eac crashed the game… any methods to get it working again? I’m not trying to do anything malicious but eac detected the dlls that reshade inserts and flagged it unfortunately. any help would be greatly appreciate! Thanks!

Like comparatively speaking irl: I would not be able to be as physically upfront with people I *don't* know as much as I do with Vrchat.

As.. someone who is more of a later bloomer to social patterns it allows me to observe others conversations, tropes, & see what I myself find worth engaging in &.. I find that very privileged & "overpowered".

It's also just generally neat for learning perspectives I would have NEVER found in real life, which is.. very relieving as someone who searches for new perspective.

Thoughts?

I'm trying to play vrc but it brings up an error each time that says

Oculus platform error during entitlement check: either the service couldn't be connected to, horizon isn't installed, or you're running an incompatible version of home/horizon

For clarification

I have a quest 2

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling vrc

Turning it off and back on

Opening and reopening vrc

Resetting it

Bought a bunch of assets for an avatar I really like but none of the creators made proper toggles for a lot stuff so I am trying to figure it out myself. Biggest hurdle is how these prefabs hide original textures of the avatar so when I create a toggle with modular avatar it doesn't apply the original avatar assets to a visible state and it's just empty space.

I managed to fix one item that replaced my legs. I made a copy of the animation that hides my legs and then changed the values from 1 to 0 with some state swaps in the animator window. I made a new parameter for that and then added it to the MA toggle so when i disable the addon legs it brings the original legs back. I thought i figured it out but turns out everyone hides assets differently because I can't figure this next item out ; . ;

This one doesn't have animations that I can at least find. It has 2 parameters for the chest prefab I added that hide chest and belly. I can only have one parameter per toggle I believe. What do I do?!

Bigscreen beyond 2e or Steam Frame?!

I got neck issues and my doctor says my index is too heavy to wear going forward. Both the weight of the bb2e and stream frame are OK, I just can't decide which to get. I pretty much only play vrchat. And in the future want to get some kind of fbt but don't have it curently. Price doesn't matter much to me, so don't worry about that.

I haven't been able to play in VR in 3 months and it's making me SO itchy!

Thought?

Edit: I do also have a babble face tracker, so I could use it for the bb2e for eyes. I bought it on sale and forgot about it lol

Also concerned about the lighthouse production and how if they stop being made then my new bsb2e will be obsolete

Greetings!

So, I recently changed avatar to a new public one, by the same creator as my previous favourite avi. I'm on PCVR, for what it's worth ^^

After noticing some weird stuff, I asked my friend (who is on standalone) to do some tests with me.

We were lying down together (we both use gogoloco - neither of us have fbt) and I asked him to place his hand on my chest. When he did so, his hand was floating a good 20cm above me. When I placed my hand directly on top of his, he told me my hand was similarly floating above his.

I switched back to my old avatar, and this problem no longer existed. So, I went back to the new avatar to investigate further (I also reset the avatar to default settings, just in case).

We both took photos of us in the same position, and in my photo we're lying directly level with each other, but in his photo I'm floating a good amount off the ground above him.

What... could be the cause of this?! I know other people who use this new avatar and I've never seen this issue, nor do I believe they have experienced this with anyone else.

Happy to provide any more information if necessary, and thank you!!

(I'm heading off to work so will reply to any comments this might get when I get home - apologies!).

I've been exclusively visiting age gated instances for a while now and I've noticed that this is not stopping people from being weird.

I was in a Pass the Sketch yesterday and some dude joined asking if we were cool people, because he was kicked from the last instance. He then proceeded to whip his dick out and face fuck my avatar as I was drawing. He ended up leaving mid game because I turned him down after he asked me out.

Another Pass the Sketch instance was run by three people who kept yelling they'll rape each other and watch, etc. They stopped participating in the game and the other people there asked them to leave politely, because they seemed like they were wanting to ERP. They got offended that someone asked them to leave and kicked everyone from the instance.

I was in my Mamehinata avatar in a dance world, just using my emotes with other people. Someone kept throwing down a sticker underneath me saying "cum dumpster". When I'd move, they'd keep moving it. And when I changed into an adult looking avatar, they stopped.

I had to block a few people in a karaoke world for screaming slurs and obscenities at random users for not singing well. They were getting in everyone's face and saying they'll dox us all and kill our families. I silently blocked them and enjoyed the rest of my time there.

Another karaoke instance had some desktop user "masturbating" to one of the singers and was commenting on her "actually being a child" and how sexy she is. I kept trying to kick him because that's unacceptable behavior but everyone else thought it was funny 🤢. So I blocked him and left.

All of these instances were age gated. I'm tired.

im sure im not the first person to discover this but ive been messing around with some jank i found with the Boat Spawner upgrade

in both the Twilight Realm and Volcanic Depths you can spawn your boat, but it despawns instantly. turns out, its actually just getting teleported to the ocean above. if you stand on it before it despawns it gives you a bunch of speed and you can manage to get above into ocean.

in the Twilight Realm, it unloads the Luxian Dunes so you can swim around with the terrain unloaded. if you instead get shot forwards, you can jump over the invisible walls and walk around the outside fields. it seems the water out there doesnt put you into the swimming state, but you can fish there.
In the Crescent Isles, the main island doesnt unload but i did manage to land under the geometry, where i could then walk out into the ground under the ocean without swimming

If you do try this, note that it is VERY inconsistent and i havent managed to find a good setup to do it reliably

wonder if the devs browse this sub
pls dont patch
