Add a performance metric like the one shown below in the screenshot but instead allow us decide how high an avatars VRAM usage can be before its hidden. I feel this is the best way to implement this because not everyone is limited on VRAM.

Steam Audio, as opposed to ONSP allows for far more detail in the way that audio is handled as it bounces on different types of surfaces, passes through air, occludes behind objects, etc. It would create a much more realistic audio experience. https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/

Hi, I think the inclusion of a portal from the revamped VRChat Home world to the VRChess world by Nex1942 would be perfect for new users for the following reasons: World Specs Universal Appeal: Chess is timeless, easy to play, and appropriate for all ages. Established Quality: With over 3.4 million visits, 95,000 favorites, and an average of 150 active players at all times, VRChess already has an established reputation of quality and liveliness. Compatibility and Performance: The world is fully Quest compatible, is well optimized, and has a download size under 70 MB. The Chess Experience in VR Visitor & New User-Friendly: Serves as a great way for those new to VRChat, prone to motion sickness, or new to VR in general to familiarize themselves with the controls and mechanics of the game and medium. Immersive Chess Boards: The chess boards have a "complete" feel, featuring satisfying animations, appearance, sounds, tactile feedback, board logic, and four alternate chess variants. Modern Technology: The world is regularly updated with the latest version of Unity. Community Friendly Environment: Instances are well-moderated by the VRChessClub group to ensure a non-toxic experience for first-time visitors. Active Community: VRChessClub hosts a large, active Discord with weekly chess and non-chess events, fostering new, lasting friendships and recurring visits. Consistent Moderation: The VRCC Discord is actively moderated with the same standards and community rules as VRChat. Official Recognition: The community is officially recognized and supported by Chess.com and Chessable for its unique experience and opportunities, emulating the social aspects of a real-life chess club. One of the major challenges new VRChatters have is finding fun worlds and communities that will keep them coming back, and I think promoting easy access to VRChess would be a significant step in the new player experience and retention!

Having an calendar in-game would let people who are not on slack actually know what kinds of stuff is happening! (And it looks/is better imho) There would be a calendar button on the menu and clicking it would bring up a window similar to WoW's calendar ( https://www.blogcdn.com/wow.joystiq.com/media/2010/11/decembercalendarchangesrlt.jpg ) Users would be able to select a date, create an event and other people could sign up for it. The creator would be able to set a starting time for the event and choose a world which it would be at. Since this is a global community I think it would be best to use UTC time to coordinate everyone, and if possible, setting your own time-zone in settings and having VRchat convert the times to your local time. Before the event starts a notification would appear (As shown in picture) so you can hang out with friends and not forget the time. An option to auto-join the event world 5-15-30 minutes before would be handy too!

New HUD not just have join/leave notifications but it seem more stream line way to show messages in the HUD. It would be nice if there was ability to show display custom messages send via Udon or/and OSC. It would make things easier for world creators and OSC software designers, make things feel more unified. -In case of Udon it would save up time for world creators, make things more integrated with VRC. As adding HUD elements is already advance feature to add to the world it would encourage beginner Udon coders to create more readable interactive/game worlds also allow easier debugging. World already add join/leave notifications which updated HUD obsolutes so why not go all the way. -This would be really helpful in case of OSC, as it involve external software and you cant see messages (like error and such) from that software when you in VR and don't have any virtual desktop. This would also add moderated expendability to VRC that lot of people seek. Extra argument here is fact that VRC already allows that with chatbox, and this would allow displaying messages direcly to VR user, without showing it to everyone else in the world, adding extra layer to this. If there any security conserns, messages could have different color to be not mistaken with official VRC notifications, also potentially implementing anti flood measures similar to OSC for chatbox already have.

Brightness is not the same as gamma. Please add an option to control gamma similar to brightness. This is necessary to bright the bright and dark area closer to the same brightness

Some backgrounds (most notably, cheese) look jarring when contrasted with the blue/grey hue of the rest of the UI. These backgrounds should change the UI color as well for consistency. (Low effort mockup for reference)

I like earmuff a lot and almost leave it on all the time since it's release, I can't focus on conversation if there's too many voices going on around me. But I have to change earmuff settings quite a lot depending on world size and player group size, for example in larger world with more separated player groups, in-world voice falloff helped quite a lot, so I would use settings like "Range: 5m / Outside Volume: 50%", In smaller world there's only little voice falloff, I would use something like "Range: 1m / Outside Volume: 30%". Would like to see maybe 3-5 customizable preset slots for earmuff settings, so I can have different presets for small, mid and large map size without tuning 3 values every time when hopping to other world.

Preface Whilst it is understandable that the VRChat staff do not wish to confuse users with "Hide Avatar Globally" when "Show Avatar" is set, there are numerous reasons why the chosen behavior to always show avatars is bad . Namely, the usefulness of Hide Avatar Globally is to hide avatars which the user may find discomforting, upsetting , or even technically poor performing on their platform of choice. Likewise, even amongst players the user may trust to "Show Avatar" , the user cannot control them nor their ability to wear said globally hidden avatars. Furthermore , due to the safety system on Quest, it is common to use Show Avatar on your friends list, as the minimum performance setting cannot go below poor , and it has been established elsewhere that the Quest's ranking system is perhaps aggressive, albeit with good reason. Additionally , there has become a social, shall we say, practice, amongst some, to have aggressive safety settings, then Show Avatar for those they directly interact with. This does not guarantee trust in that user, and can result, in fringe cases , in a large list of players in which Show Avatar has been toggled. Ultimately however, Show Avatar is a per-user setting and Hide Avatar Globally is a per avatar setting . The avatar setting should always take precedence. — It even says "Globally" in the name! It's not really global if something else can override it, is it? — Solution To remedy this conflict , the 3-Way avatar display toggle on user profiles should be adjusted into a 4-Way toggle, with the following options: Hide Avatar : Hides this user's avatar always Use Safety Settings: Shows the player's avatar, unless hidden globally, or blocked by the user's performance and safety settings Show Avatar: Always shows the player's, unless hidden globally; "Show Unless Hidden (Globally)", in essence Always Show Avatar: Always shows the player's avatar, even if globally hidden; An override Upon updating to this system, all existing uses of Show Avatar will be set to the new Show Avatar , as to avoid confusion as to "why Hide Avatar Globally is not working with some people". Users who wish to override HAG on specific users may do so from the profile page with this new fourth setting.

Suggestion With the new avatar section you can sort by recently used, title and last updated. I feel like it will be very useful having a sort by performance as in many situations in Vrchat you may need to use more optimised model. Potential Implementation This could be implemented in one of two ways: -It sorts from excellent to very poor (Top to Bottom) OR -It is split up into sections such as Excellent, good, medium, poor and very poor. If the first option is chosen it would be nice seeing the performance logo on the avatar preview rather than clicking on it. Conclusion This hopefully will remove that moment where you have to say "let me quickly find a optimal Avatar" and then clicking on every avatar to find the good preforming one. Overall this benefits everyone especially people who go to a large amount of events in Vrchat.
