Is VRChat down right now?
(latest update August 17, 2022)

VRChat is a massively multiplayer online virtual reality social platform. It allows players to interact with others as 3D character models. The game was released for Microsoft Windows as a standalone application compatible with the Oculus DK1, and via Steam. Is it up or down? Is it down for me?

@Ferret_Cyan @Waffles7z @VRChat That's the thing, the people who where yelling the loudest against it weren't actively participating in the Beta, those that were liked it and VRCDev used that data to push it through.
That's not a VRCDev problem, that's a people not accessing the Open Beta - problem.

@silly_kitsune @Angel11567 @VRChat If you use mods to fix the things you think you are lacking instead of showing VRCDev you want something, then you ARE the problem.
And NOT VRCDev thinking these features aren't important because the data of people still playing VRChat & not leaving isn't showing/there.

@silly_kitsune @AlexWingace @Angel11567 @VRChat Cause people weren't complaining to Mojang that Minecraft wasn't running cause they knew it was mods that needed updates
With VRChat: World & Avatar Creators & VRCDevs got Bug Reports that weren't caused by them, i.s.o. mod creators/users. That is the issue here.

@Calarakien @DAVosselman @Angel11567 @VRChat It's not the vrc devs fixing mods. It's mods injecting code into the VR chat launcher/engine that was giving them bugs, the mods make it seem that vrchat itself is the one giving out bugs when it's actually a false positive. Imagine 1000's of bugs they think they have to fix!

@Some_Punk*** @Phasmaniac1 @TempRexAt @VRChat Why thank you, I appreciate that, that's a good attitude.
The Blocked aka Thomas, was tweeting out harr***ments, tried to discredit people with a bogus VTuber remark, then later doubled down with a Transphobic remark about something they dug up elsewhere as it's not on Twitter.

@SithandraVR Well, the one issue with booth and gumroad is that VRChat is not getting a cut of the profits. VRC is barely scraping by with VRC+ right now. While a billion dollar market surrounds their platform.

@DAVosselman @Angel11567 @VRChat Newsflash, "fixing the grief/crash/avatar stealing" that they said EAC was meant to fix straight up did not work. There's still MANY ways for people to grief, crash servers, and steal avatars. EAC is notoriously bad at its ONE job making it a worthless update that made people mad

@CommanderD_ @VRChat This has already been proven false. If you look at the "evidence" video Tupper was literally in his afk animation (he floats up and down in place, not moving) away from his PC. And someone took advantage of that by placing their "bits" below him as he floated.

@DAVosselman @Waffles7z @VRChat Tons of other independent developers do this already and get praise for it.
The fact they couldn't take time in those 2 years to just sit down and listen, be transparent, or simply come to some sort of understanding with their users is what led to the majority of problems.

@yewnyx @HACKhalo2 Its just the truth. It can be taken as an insult sure. Look, when it comes down to it. You either do the job or you cant. After awhile of saying "its impossible" that person will be replaced with someone who figures it out. Its likely VRChat is ready to be replaced.

And keep in mind, we're 'technically' not their end user, the ones that pay are, despite of us using the end product.
It sucks, but sadly enough in the case of VRCh that's what's happening.

@Ferret_Cyan @Waffles7z @VRChat The issue is that VRCDevs want to be transparent but they can't expose their whole Roadmap. They want to surprise us too or prevent people from hoping something comes out but it not coming as it keeps breaking for the devs.
Or the worst issues, people stealing ideas for $

@DAVosselman @Angel11567 @VRChat That isn't how it works at all.
With ANY game, if you mod the game and it breaks the game for you that is the Mod Devs and your problem. The game devs of the game do not drop everything to try and fix bugs created by 3rd party mods.
If they DID do that, they're incompetent.

@VespirBelmont @LoadsOfJazzy @idontcare622012 @VRChat Hey guess what. The avatars with malicious code (or ones that crash servers etc) were not effected by EAC being added. And newflash, EAC is HORRIBLE Anti-Cheat. It can be byp***ed VERY easily by people wanting to steal avatars or do harm.
Which is what EAC was supposedly for.

@_LucasRizzotto @Heaney555 I actually use VRChat and Horizons. The problem is all of these systems are essentially connecting with strangers with no shared context. Games give that, but better interaction design should give prompts for connection (like signaling shared interests automatically).

@Ferret_Cyan @Waffles7z @VRChat As for the 'outrage' part I think it's more a case of them not knowing the scope beforehand of how many users who where actually using mods.
That caused them to 'reset' priorities & made lower Priorities primary ones & pushed others they deemed prio 1 before, down the pipeline.

@DAVosselman @Waffles7z @VRChat That's not the ones likely pushing them though, Steam nor Meta have any reason to force them to implement an anti-mod system, and Steam is pro-mods. The investors more than likely put their foot down.

@LoFiFlat @travislawyer0 @HoloTheWiseVR @Angel11567 @VRChat I don't think they grasped how big of an issue it was/how many people where using mods. They are an Indie company with not as much experience in the field. They also condoned mods, cause of them simply not having a way to crack down on it before.

@LoFiFlat @travislawyer0 @HoloTheWiseVR @Angel11567 @VRChat Not as abnormal as you think, that's the 'issue' with "Alpha", "Early Access", "Beta" or however people want to call it, especially in the Indie industry.
You're giving someone an unfinished product. Some people forget that it's not finished yet & still being worked on.

@Ferret_Cyan @Waffles7z @VRChat EAC is a quick bandaid that gives them space to work on things without mods interferring/complicating things.
Were there more solutions to solve the problem? Absolutely, but this is what VRCDev went with & have already stated stick with. In the end, it's their game.

@DAVosselman @Joellen65368626 @Waffles7z @VRChat But it causing issues with VRChat IS the VRC devs' fault because they went with EAC specifically. You can't just absolve them of guilt when they added the cause of the problem.

@SoaringSolaris I hate it when I find kids on VRChat who are like that. That behavior opens the risk of potential predators and pedophiles to come their way. It compromises their safety, and brings me immense discomfort as someone who once protected children by hunting down pedophiles online.

The solution I try to do is go into the task manager and end task on Nvidia Broadcast and it fixes the issue. But I believe it's not the fault of VRChat, but rather how Nvidia Broadcast handles voice compression. If the GPU is given too much info on initial load it will freak out

@Reggietheranko1 @VRChat there's a problem with avatar searching
a lot of people who do avatar commissions (such as myself), upload the avatar to their own account as a public avatar and the commissioner then clones it
the search would make it so people could find commissioned avatars
