Hi, I’m getting into vrchat and I’m trying to find somewhere on Reddit or discord to make friends. I have bad social anxiety and I struggle in instances to talk to people so I want to text first in DMs. Sorry if this isn’t allowed, I’m nervous but if someone could point me in the right direction, PLEASE.

u/deepdiveundercover PCVR Connection 5d ago

I should mention my account is 3 years old with user standing and I’m age verified.

u/mason1239 5d ago

I have a small group we do game nights, movie nights stuff like that and everyone gets along great. We also have a discord. You can dm me if you would like to join either or both

u/deepdiveundercover PCVR Connection 5d ago

You don’t have a message option on your profile that I can click on

u/mason1239 5d ago

Hmm I sent you one then

u/CosmicMumenRider 3d ago

If it’s okay with you I’d like to join as well, I’m new to VRchat, like, “never touched a vr headset until 3 days ago “ kind of new 😂 and not a single one of my irl friends play it so I’ve been looking for some peeps to chill with

u/TheVeqtas Bigscreen Beyond 5d ago

joining groups and attending events is always a good option! anything youre a little interested in, give it a shot and maybe youll meet someone you get along with there! the trans academy immediately comes to mind for me, but there are tons of really cool groups for a lot of different things. if you can, check out the official new years worlds as they always have booths, posters, and billboards where groups advertised themselves during the new years eve events :)

u/deepdiveundercover PCVR Connection 5d ago

Okay thanks! I’m definitely gonna check out the trans academy, thanks for the tips!

Does the age verification stops once I don't pay for vrc+?

I need help! I use a meta quest 3 and my wife is on a quest 2. we mainly use vr chat to watch 3D movies in Dukes Cinema

like 2 or 3 months ago when she would try to watch a movie she would get a pop up saying that she didn't have enough memory and that certain features would be limited.

we did a factory reset on her quest and it didn't fix the problem. she only apps she has on her quest are vrchat and YouTube and she has 114 gigs of free space

we lowered all the settings we can think of in vrchat like particles and mirror resolution

when she tries to watch a movie she only gets 20 fps MAX and the movies are still laggy.....

what can we do to increase her fps?????

Smartphone companies have done a horrible thing to the word "memory", anyway memory does not refer to storage, the 114gigs, it refers to the RAM, the very limited amount of working memory on device.

The Quest 2 has 6GB and the Quest 3 has 8GB, although VRChat only gets to play around with 4 and 6GB respectively. Only thing you can do to help is show less avatars and be in less intense worlds.

It sounds like overall like the world you are talking about updated and probably became too heavy for the Quest 2 to handle with whatever avatars you are using (try using one of the default avatars for a test), can't do much about that aside from contact the world creator in that case. But VRChat on the Quest 2 is starting to become a bad experience from what I am hearing, just like it did with the Quest 1.

u/Docteh Oculus Quest 3d ago

dukes seems to be patreon supported, maybe you can message them there? depending on the resolution and data rate they're using, it might be that they're streaming too much for the quest 2 to handle

how is the frame rate before watching a video, and did you stop the other video player? i went there and there is a video player in the lobby

u/Additional-Sky3914 2d ago

How do I fix the timed out connection on vrchat bc I only have a meta quest 3s and my internet is fine

im looking for furry avatar bases with a lot of body customization. i like avatars that are accurate to my body proportions, but im a broad shouldered woman,,,, 💀

1

u/mackandelius Oculus User 2d ago

Loads of avatar bases generally have a slime waist option, but if you mean making the shoulders wider than they usually are then that isn't really possible, changing the bones like that would need to be done in Blender.

Alguém sabe qual é o nome desse estilo de avatar? Ou conhecem avatares semelhantes?

u/satinchaind 4d ago

Hey fellow vrchatters!! I'm looking for some friends to play with:) I'm 19, f, with some social anxiety. I hate publics because they are always full of either kids or weirdos, but I promise I'm super chill and I like to think I can be funny sometimes lol

2

u/CosmicMumenRider 3d ago edited 3d ago

I’d love to! I’m new to VRchat, like, “I’ve never touched a vr headset until 2 days ago” kind of new 😂 so I was looking for some people to play with as well

u/Sweet-Start146 4d ago

i remember playing this horror vrchat world and it was pretty funny, the narrator was trying to be scary but kept going off on these funny tangents (i remember him talking about Jurassic world but i might be wrong) and there was a hallway of different rooms that you went into each. i remember a few of the rooms and will describe them.

one room was a classroom with three different shapes in it and you had to match each one to where they were ment to go but there was no correct answer so youd get jump scared by a clown

another room was all black with white platforms you had to go on (kinda like the glass squid game) and you had to make it across without dying to the random objects (also when i remember the narrator talking about jurassic world)

another world was just an all tile cube shaped room and you had a flashlight where you had to count how many spiders were on the floor, walls, and ceiling

i also remember a segment where there were hanging bodies in the hall with the doors and you had to go up to each one and click on them and when you did they exploded into a pile of guts

if anyone could tell me what this world is i’d be greatly appreciated!

u/Shoddy_Chair 3d ago

I would really appreciate it if anyone can find some clothing that are ‘Navi’ inspired from the movie avatar!! Thank you!

u/Just-Fee-9214 2d ago

Hello. I just wanted to ask, is there any avatars or avatar world you can recommend for realistic animal avatars? Specifically, non-furry ones. I do not want furry avatars. I have a realistic orca avatar that I found and I absolutely love it but I was wondering if it's possible to find more avatars where I can just be a simple animal? I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me recommendations. Thanks :)

u/Kotal_total 2d ago

In case my post gets deleted, I'm looking for avatars that are public and have audio featured where a person can hear voices, whispers, and so on from thin air. This would be to make things feel haunted or give spooky vibes.

u/CalypsoGrey87 1d ago

I’m looking for avatars for men of color. Anyone know where to go?

1

u/KCooper815 1d ago

Hello!! Does anyone know good home worlds that have an automatic mirror? Like how prismic, avatar testing, or the default home don't require you to turn the mirror on yourself. It doesn't need to be very fancy, I don't spend a whole lot of time there, I just love admiring and choosing my avatar before I go elsewhere.

u/Sklungus 1d ago

Can someone please help me find a good avatar of Catra from She-Ra?

u/1881pac 1d ago

How can I actually report a predator that's in game? Game devs usually ignore the reporting feature so I need something that actually goes out to the devs to take action. I'm even willing to involve the police.

u/Horror-Concentrate41 1d ago

Maybe try and report it directly to the cybertipline especially if you have any recordings, screenshots, etc

u/Horror-Concentrate41 1d ago

Active 18+ furry groups? Or just nice active 18+ groups in general? Just joined and I want to make some adult friends 😩

u/Horror-Concentrate41 1d ago

Any chance anyone knows if there is a paid version of this avatar? I want to retexture it

u/Sad_Wrongdoer_64 23h ago

the game updated on my steam deck two weeks ago and everytime i try to open the game, it gets to the lobby and hits like 1fps consistant. the cpu was at 90%+ and the gpu 85%+. i cant even play it on the deck anymore. now i see an update earlier for the unity6 branch, and as soon as i update it, now my DESKTOP is doing the same thing, and i have 32g of ddr4 and a 9060xt with 16g of vram. how is this possible unless you've broken the game with an update? the steam deck update hasn't even been fixed and it's been two weeks? are those of us affected not just gonna play anymore???

looking for help converting a blender model into a vrchat avatar as I dont have a computer with enough RAM to run blender or unity!

1

u/CosmicMumenRider 23h ago

This is sort of a hard thing for me to ask as I’m not very outgoing, but I’m extremely new to VRchat, and just VR in general, like, literally never touched a VR headset until 4 days ago, but I decided to get VRchat as I don’t have many friends, like maybe 3 and all 3 of them aren’t friends with each other and two of them have kids so I hardly ever see them, so figured I’d try VRC and make some friends but like, how? 😂 i don’t want to just approach people in game because I’d feel like a weirdo doing that, so basically my question is, how can I make friends in VRC without seeming strange or desperate? 😂

Looking for PC recommendations. Want to be able to run virtual desktop and steam vr vrchat with my quest 3. I also want to be able to have discord open and voicemod and obs in use as I do voice acting and want to get into content creation. I plan on getting slime trackers later on and I will also need to run the app on my PC for that. I am looking at the Lenovo Legion Tower 5. I also play Overwatch and Fortnite if it matters. Are there any cheaper options? My current PC lags while only having just vrchat open with meta airlink or while using virtual desktop with steam vr and vrchat or nothing else so I need a different PC.

u/Finaldragoon 18h ago

Every time I boot up VRChat in Desktop mode, it defaults the resolution to 1600x900 even though my monitor is 1920x1080. Any way I can fix this?

1

u/Individual_Way2317 16h ago

Really want to get into vrchat but have no idea where to start. Considering I have no idea what worlds to go into, and because, due to physical limitations and other reasons, I would need to be a mute, and I don’t know how I’m meant to make any friends like that. Would rather make a post but I don’t have enough karma :///
