@LumiiVRC People act like their very poor avatars will be deleted tomorrow. While in reality there are groups and events that have been enforcing these limits manually for years now, and they are now given a tool to do it automatically without unnecessary and unpleasant conversations.

There's so many misconceptions about the new VRC avatar gating feature.
- No, it wont stop you from joining. It turns your avatar into a fallback.
- I largely only see this being used in crowded event spaces. In these spaces, many of these groups literally do this already and noone bats an eye.
- Some features of avatar ranks may not make sense at first. 70k polys isn't alot. However, its still a useful metric. Someone with 100k polys probably has way more materials and toggles and shaders than someone with 20k.
- Optimization is not scary. Googling avatar optimization guide brings up dozens of videos and extremely helpful tools - even a guide from VRC themselves
- "buh my shield settings"; We have only one custom shield profile. Changing it and other avatar limiter settings every time I visit a crowded event is so annoying. Turning a feature previously manually enforced by moderators or by me tweaking my settings every time I join into something automatic is pretty nice.
Plus, not everyone touches all of their settings. I believe @dtupper or someone else at #VRChat mentioned that the setting that allows you to change avatar download prioritization was removed because almost nobody used it.
This feature is about convenience for the masses in crowded spaces. Unless you frequently go to these events, it wont affect you.
If you do, and you're always in a massive VP avatar, that's inconsiderate.

@Hella_Faithh @TheDrNope 1 outfit and no toggles is fine for a special avatar version that you use only at events ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
English
@TheDrNope People don't bother optimizing because they don't take seriously the dogshit performance rating. The poly limit cutting off to 70k for all ratings is outdated and wrong info.
The poly limit is too limiting atm, you either go above or limit yourself to 1 outfit and no toggles.

Some are suggesting increasing the avi poly limit to 120k. An 80-person instance of 120k avis is +/- 9.6 million tris. That's +/- 19.2 million tris with directional lights on. Increasing the avi limit has an exponential effect on event world performance. These are the numbers.
Dr. Nope@TheDrNope
For event world creators, going anywhere above 1 million tris will start to tank FPS in VR. An 80-person instance of 70k avatars is 5.6 million tris. Factor in what directional lights do to tris in Unity (which is required for VRSL lights), that doubles to +/- 11.2 million tris.

@SadlyItsBradley If only there was a revival of a VR 3DS emulator...
English
For those who missed it, there is a revival of the old DolphinVR emulator which allows you to play GameCube and Wii games in full Immersive like this
Outside of improvements of that comes from being brought to modernity — This one is thankfully being built with OpenXR

@Koba_Poko3 Yeah. It's not as detailed as other solutions, but performance should be very good.

Basis is a cool new technology used to create high performance VR games with custom avatars and way more. It's open source and pretty amazing already.
There's an upcoming test where they're testing one instance with 1000 players. I'll be there for sure, Come join us and see what is like!

Hey @MoniqueMonsters I'm making my own Kerfus lookalike for a game, did you get inspiration from that one chinese sperm donation machine for Kerfur or is it a big coincidence?

A bit of an odd take, but honestly, Meta’s got one less reason now to keep pushing a dedicated affordable VR gaming console.

Horizon Worlds is officially being discontinued on Meta Quest headsets. You will no longer be able to access Horizon Worlds at all on the headset and unfortunately Hyperspace co-op rooms are going away as well which is a real travesty. This is both exciting and sad honestly. Sad for those who spent so much time building worlds. Exciting to see Meta continues its streamlining of the Quest platform towards VR gaming.
