Unoptimized Avatars Get Blocked

After reading VRChat’s Medium and watching their live stream, it seems both past and upcoming updates are bringing even more features, such as Avatar Performance Rank Blocking.

According to VRChat, they’re making a separate avatar ranking system for Quest avatars, and some of the changes appear to be quite harsh. For instance, all avatars exceeding 10,000 polygons will never be displayed on Quest.

While some may not be happy with this particular update, it is necessary for establishing consistent optimization with content regulations, and a lot of people were glad it finally got added to VRChat, which had been expected for a while.

Yet, even more features are coming “actually soon”, and it was announced on Discord that from now on, Oculus users may merge their accounts with VRChat accounts, even though this wasn’t mentioned on their blog. But for now, we can only expect things like 2FA and, possibly, something new.
