Usr 25ab3fa1-00d9-40b9-bc28-15f6a6b3a4a1: added information the the required "User" rank, and reworded the section a bit to fit more nicely with the now added extra info.

''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|Instances]] for further information.''{{Noticebox/Official}}
'''Worlds''' are the virtual spaces inhabited by users on [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. They are the locations wherein users can interact with each other, the environment, and other features and mechanics. Worlds are created by members of the community, and uploaded as either public or private using the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]], intended for others to join. Worlds must be uploaded for each [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|platform]] to be compatible for users of that platform to join.

There's a variety of world types covering topics ranging from social hangouts, games, to avatar showcases, scenic views, and more. Each world can have multiple sessions running at the same time, referred to as [[Special:MyLanguage/instances|instances]], which have a global region they're linked to, a maximum user capacity set by the world author, and an instance type that controls who can join and moderate the world instance.
==Discovering and joining worlds==
[[File:VRC Worlds Banner.png|frame|Official render of the Worlds logo]]
When a user launch VRChat for the first time, they will spawn in [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Default Home]], set as an Invite-only instance. Users can change their home world to any world they want from the world page. A user's home world and instance type can be changed at any time. One can also choose to log into the VRChat website or use the main page of VRChat on Mobile to browse worlds, and launch VRChat.
===Using the menu===
When opening the [[menus]], there are a few different routes one can take to join a new world, or instance.

==== "Worlds" Quick Link / tab ====
When opening the [[Quick Menu]], using the Quick Links button for '''Worlds''' will take the user to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]], which by default, displays VRCat's Variety Box, and features a random selection from various different world categories. When anywhere on the Main Menu, users can also get to this page by using the World tab at the bottom.

On the left of the World tab, one can select a specific world category such as "Trending", "Avatar Worlds - Trending", "Games - Active", "New & Noteworthy", etc. This can be useful for quickly finding popular worlds in different categories. Clicking on a world tile here will take users to the detailed menu page for that world, giving the user options to select an existing instance to join or to create a new one, and to either join directly or drop a world portal. Each world is represented with a [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:World Thumbnail|thumbnail]], giving insight into its contents.

==== Recently visited, and favorite worlds ====
When in the World tab, there is a collapsed dropdown titled '''My Worlds''', which contain any worlds uploaded, recently visited or favorited by the user.

==== Search ====
From the Worlds page, users can use the "Search" feature to search for a specific world by title, description, tag, author, etc. These can also be sorted by Relevance, Last Updated, and Popular.

When anywhere on the Main Menu, users can also get to another page to search for worlds by using the Search tab at the bottom. Using search tab will suggest another variety of different search terms for discovering worlds, sorted into two different categories: Recommended Searches, and Quick World Searches. Quick World Searches can be shuffled to spot different search terms.

=== Portals ===
''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Portals|Portals]] for further information.''

[[Portals]] provide a quick way for users to access a specific world and instance, without having to individually find it through the menu. The portal will display the world image inside of itself, and it will usually have the title above alongside other details such as user capacity and region. By default, walking forward into a portal, will transfer the user to the associated world, but [[Settings#Comfort & Safety|Settings]] can be changed so that it requires user input (Portal Prompt), to prevent accidental travel. Portals come in two varieties:

==== Static portals ====
Worlds may contain 'static portals' that they feature to serve as a link to other worlds. These are part of the world, and as such, usually stay there permanently, ready for people to interact with. If a user walks through a static portal, a countdown, starting from thirty will begin, to which any following user can proceed into the same instance until the countdown expires.

==== User-placed portals ====
Users can place portals to a world instance, by searching for a world in the World tab, then choosing '''New Instance''', followed by the instance type, and finalized with '''Drop Portal'''. Portals can be placed down on most surfaces in the world, except near the designated spawn point(s). These appear the same as static portals, except the countdown timer initiates when the portal is dropped by the user, starting at thirty seconds. The timer can be extended, by having more users enter the portal. Once the timer expires, the portal disappears.

== Creating and uploading worlds ==
In order to create and upload a VRChat world, a user must have reached the "User" trust rank.

To get started with creating your world, download the [[VRChat Creator Companion]], which will help with the installation of the latest compatible version of Unity for VRChat, and install the [[VRChat SDK]] into a world project.

{{#description2:Diese Seite wird dir bei deinen ersten Schritten in VRChat behilflich sein, sodass du im Handumdrehen einsatzbereit sein wirst!}}
Diese Seite wird dir bei deinen '''ersten Schritten''' in [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]] behilflich sein, sodass du im Handumdrehen einsatzbereit sein wirst!

Diese Seite erklärt dir leicht verständlich:

* Welche [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|Geräte]] notwendig sind, um VRChat auszuführen
* Von wo aus VRChat installiert werden kann
* Was dich in den ersten Minuten der Nutzung von VRChat erwartet
* Bonus-Videoanleitungen, die dir bei deiner ersten Erfahrung weiterhelfen

Wenn du mit bestimmten {{Community link|https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Community:Terminology|Begriffen}} oder Themen nicht vertraut bist, klicke einfach auf einen der blau hervorgehobenen Hyperlinks, die dich zu anderen Seiten des VRChat Wiki führen.


== Systemvoraussetzungen / Empfehlungen ==


=== Standalone-Geräte ===

VRChat kann auf den folgenden Standalone-Headsets ausgeführt werden:

* Meta Quest 2
* Meta Quest 3(S)
* Meta Quest Pro
* Vive Focus Vision
* Vive XR Elite
* Pico 4
* Pico 4 Pro
* Pico 4 Ultra


=== Smartphone ===

VRChat kann auf jeglichen Geräten mit Android 10+ mit mindestens 6GB System-RAM ausgeführt werden, die über eine Verbindung mittels WLAN oder 4G/5G-Mobilfunk verfügen.

Jedes aktuelle Android-Gerät der Mittelklasse oder höher sollte diese Spezifikationen erfüllen.

=== Steam Deck ===

Die Tests von Valve zeigen, dass VRChat für das Steam Deck verifiziert ist. Die Software ist voll funktionsfähig und funktioniert hervorragend mit den integrierten Bedienelementen und dem Display.

* Bei Verwendung der Standard-Controllerkonfiguration sind alle Funktionen zugänglich.
* VRChat zeigt die Steam Deck-Controller-Symbole an.
* Der Text der Spieloberfläche ist auf dem Steam Deck gut lesbar.
* Die Standard-Grafikkonfiguration von VRChat funktioniert gut auf dem Gerät.

=== PC ===


==== mindestens ====

* '''CPU:''' Intel® i5-4570k oder AMD FX 8350 oder vergleichbar
* '''RAM:''' 4GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 oder AMD Radeon™ R9 290 oder vergleichbar
* '''Festplattenspeicher:''' 21.5GB (~1.5GB für die Anwendung, 20GB Mindestcachegröße)
* '''Internetverbindung:''' 25MBit/s download
* '''Betriebssystem:''' Windows 10, Windows 11

Dies sind die absoluten Mindestanforderungen, um VRChat im Desktopmodus auszuführen. Obwohl die Anwendung ausgeführt werden kann, können möglicherweise Performanceprobleme auftreten. VRChat beinhaltet viele von Benutzern erstellte Inhalte, einige [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|Avatare]] und [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|Welten]] können deine Performance stärker beeinträchtigen, als du es von typischen Spielen erwarten würdest. Es wird empfohlen, die [[Special:MyLanguage/Safety|Sicherheitseinstellungen]] für ein optimales Erlebnis anzupassen.

Man kann die [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1070910/Are_you_ready_for_Valve_Index/ Are you ready for Valve Index?] Anwendung herunterladen, um zu überprüfen, ob das eigene Gerät mit der Ausführung von VRChat im VR-Modus kompatibel ist.


==== empfohlen ====

* '''CPU:''' AMD 5800X3D oder 7800X3D, oder Intel® i5 der 12. Generation, oder vergleichbar
* '''RAM:''' 32GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 3060 12GB oder vergleichbar
* '''Festplattenspeicher:''' 21.5GB (~1.5GB für die Anwendung, 20GB minimum cache Größe)
* '''Internetverbindung:''' 100MBit/s download
* '''Betriebssystem:''' Windows 10, Windows 11

Als CPU solltest du dir einen 7800X3D zulegen, da AMD mit dieser Generation auf einen neuen Sockel (AM5) umgestiegen ist. Die Prozessoren der AMD X3D-Serie erzielen aufgrund ihres sehr großen Onboard-Caches eine ungewöhnlich gute Performance bei VRChat und anderen Spielen. Was die GPU betrifft, so ist es am besten, auf eine Grafikkarte mit dem größten verfügbaren VRAM zu setzen.

== Account-Erstellung ==

[[File:LoginPage.webp|thumb|Eine Abbildung des Login-Bildschirms von VRChat]]

Beim Start von VRChat wird dir ein Anmeldebildschirm angezeigt. Du hast die Möglichkeit, die Sprache zu ändern, dir die [[Special:MyLanguage/Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] sowie [[Special:MyLanguage/Privacy Policy|Privacy Policy]] durchzulesen und dich primär mit einem VRChat-Konto anzumelden oder dir, je nach verwendetem Gerät, ein Gerätekonto über Steam, Meta, Google, Pico oder Vive zu erstellen. Damit du dich mit einem VRChat-Account einloggen kannst, musst du dich zunächst auf der VRChat-Webseite [https://vrchat.com/home/register registrieren]. Mit der Erstellung eines VRChat-Kontos erhältst du Zugriff auf die VRChat-Anwendung, eine Webversion deines VRChat-Profils, deiner Freundesliste und der Weltensuche und die Möglichkeit, [[Special:MyLanguage/impostors|Impostor]] zu erstellen. Außerdem hast du Zugriff auf [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat_SDK|VRChat's Software Development Kit]], die [https://feedback.vrchat.com Feedback-Foren], die [https://ask.vrchat.com Frage-Foren], kannst dich im [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]]-Programm anmelden und das VRChat Wiki editieren.

Das Erstellen eines Gerätekontos über Steam, Meta, Google, Pico oder VIVE gewährt nur sofortigen Zugriff auf die VRChat-Anwendung. Es ist auch möglich, [[Special:MyLanguage/Account Merging|Konten zusammenzuführen]], wenn du zuerst nur ein Gerätekonto und ein VRChat-Konto erst später erstellen möchtest. Wenn du dich nach dem Zusammenführen beider Konten beim Gerätekonto anmeldest, wird die Anmeldung auf das VRChat-Konto übertragen.


== Lernen, wie man VRChat benutzt ==

Nach dem Einloggen in VRChat startest du in einer privaten Heimatwelt! Hier kannst in deinem eigenen Tempo die [[Special:MyLanguage/controls|Steuerung]] lernen, [[Special:MyLanguage/settings|Einstellungen]] anpassen, deinen ersten Avatar entdecken und in die nächste Welt wechseln! Die Standard-Heimatwelt ist das [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]], ein einladender Ort für den Beginn deiner Session. Du kannst jederzeit in deine private Heimatinstanz zurückkehren, indem du das Schnellmenü öffnest und die Kachel '''Heimatwelt betreten''' anwählst.

Wenn du in VRChat einen anderen Benutzer triffst, kannst du dein [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Schnellmenü]] öffnen und mehr über einen Benutzer herausfinden. Als VR-Benutzer kannst du den Laser in deiner zweiten Hand auf diesen richten. Beim Erscheinen einer Kapsel kannst du durch Drücken des Trigger-Knopfes ein separates Menü öffnen. Als Desktop-Benutzer kannst du entweder die '''Benutzer auswählen'''-Kachel anwählen, oder die Shift-Taste gedrückt halten und den Zeiger auf die Kapsel bewegen. Drücke die linke Maustaste, um das neue Menü zu öffnen. Als Nutzer der mobilen App tippst du einfach auf den Benutzer, um das Menü zu öffnen.

Außerdem gibt es im Schnellmenü einen Tab, der dir eine Liste der Benutzer in der aktuellen Instanz anzeigt: Den '''Hier'''-Tab. Indem du auf einen der Benutzernamen in der Liste klickst, kannst du: deren Biografie lesen, ihnen eine Freundschaftsanfrage senden, deren Mikrofonlautstärke ändern, sie stummschalten, ihren Avatar verbergen, ihren Avatar [https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Avatars#Cloning klonen] (falls verfügbar) oder sie blockieren.

{{#description2:This page will help you get started with VRChat. You’ll be up and running in a jiffy!}}
This page will help you '''get started''' with [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]]. You’ll be up and running in a jiffy!


Reading this page will easily explain:


* What [[Special:MyLanguage/Platforms|devices]] are necessary to run VRChat
* Where to install VRChat from
* What to expect during your first few minutes of using VRChat
* Bonus video guides to help with your first experience


If you are unfamiliar with any {{Community link|https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Community:Terminology|Terminology}}, or subjects, feel free to click on any of the blue highlighted hyperlinks that lead to other pages of the VRChat Wiki.

== System requirements / recommendations == 

=== Standalone devices === 


VRChat runs on the following standalone headsets:


* Meta Quest 2
* Meta Quest 3(S)
* Meta Quest Pro
* Vive Focus Vision
* Vive XR Elite
* Pico 4
* Pico 4 Pro
* Pico 4 Ultra

=== Mobile phone === 


VRChat can be played on any Android 10+ device with at least 6GB of system RAM, and is connected to Wi-Fi or over 4G/5G cellular networks.


Any recent mid-range or higher Android device should meet these specifications.

=== Steam Deck === 


Valve's testing indicates that VRChat is Verified on the Steam Deck. It is fully functional and works great with the built-in controls and display.


* All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration.
* VRChat shows Steam Deck controller icons.
* In-game interface text is legible on the Steam Deck.
* VRChat's default graphics configuration performs well on the device.

=== PC === 

==== minimum ==== 


* '''CPU:''' Intel® i5-4570k or AMD FX 8350 or equivalent
* '''Memory:''' 4GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 or AMD Radeon™ R9 290 or equivalent
* '''Disk Space:''' 21.5GB of storage (~1.5GB for application, 20GB minimum cache size)
* '''Internet Connection:''' 25Mbps download speed
* '''OS:''' Windows 10, Windows 11


These are the absolute minimum requirements to run VRChat on desktop mode. Although the application will run, you may encounter performance issues. VRChat has lots of user-created content, some [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|avatars]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|worlds]] may cause your performance to drop more than you might expect from a typical game! It is recommended adjusting [[Special:MyLanguage/Safety|Safety Settings]] for the most optimal experience.


One can download the [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1070910/Are_you_ready_for_Valve_Index/ Are you ready for Valve Index?] application to see if their device is compatible with running VRChat in VR mode.

==== recommended ==== 


* '''CPU:''' AMD 5800X3D or 7800X3D, or 12th Generation Intel® i5, or equivalent
* '''Memory:''' 32GB
* '''GPU:''' NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 3060 12GB or equivalent
* '''Disk Space:''' 21.5GB of storage (~1.5GB for application, 20GB minimum cache size)
* '''Internet Connection:''' 100Mbps download speed
* '''OS:''' Windows 10, Windows 11


For your CPU, you'd want to get a 7800X3D, as AMD swapped to a new socket (AM5) with this generation. The AMD X3D series of processors perform unusually well in VRChat and other games due to their very large onboard cache. As for the GPU, aiming for the graphics card with the most VRAM available is best.

== Installing VRChat == 


=== On Meta Quest ===
''for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3(S), Meta Quest Pro''

[[File:LoginPage.webp|thumb|An image of the VRChat login screen]]


When you launch VRChat, you will be presented with a log in screen. You will have options on changing languages, reading [[Special:MyLanguage/Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Privacy Policy|Privacy Policy]], and primarily signing in with a VRChat account, or create a device account via Steam, Meta, Google, Pico, or VIVE, depending on the device being used.

Creating a device account via Steam, Meta, Google, Pico, or VIVE, will only grant instantaneous access to the VRChat application. It is also possible to [[Special:MyLanguage/Account Merging|merge accounts]] if you wish to generate a device account now, and later create a VRChat account. After merging your account, choosing to log into the device account will transfer your login to the VRChat account.

== Learning how to use VRChat == 


When you log into VRChat, you’ll start in a private Home world! Here, you can explore at your own pace to learn the [[Special:MyLanguage/controls|controls]], adjust [[Special:MyLanguage/settings|settings]], find your first avatar, and go to your next world! The default Home world is the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]], a welcoming place to begin your session. You can choose to go back to your private Home instance at any time by opening up the Quick Menu, and choosing the '''Go Home''' tile.


When meeting another user in VRChat, you can open up your [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]], and learn more information about a user. To do this in VR, point the laser in your off-hand at them. A capsule will appear, and you click the trigger button to bring open a separate menu. On desktop, you can either click the '''Select User''' tile, or hold the Shift key and hover over the capsule. Use the left mouse button to open the new menu. On mobile, simply tap on the user to bring open the menu.


In the Quick Menu there also is a tab which shows you the list of current players in the instance: the '''Here''' tab. By clicking on one of the user names in the list you can: read their biography, request to add them as a friend, change their microphone volume, mute them, hide their avatar, [https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Avatars#Cloning clone] their avatar if available, or block them.

Usr 25ab3fa1-00d9-40b9-bc28-15f6a6b3a4a1: Added screenshot of the menu with the Merge button.

{{Noticebox/Official}}

This article highlights the process of '''merging''' an existing platform account to a regular VRChat account.

Platform accounts include pre-existing VRChat on the following devices:

* Steam
* Meta
* PICO
* Viveport

== Benefits of a full VRChat account ==
A full VRChat account enables users to:
* Earn [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust Ranks|Trust Ranks]]
* Retain the simplicity of one-click logins
* Apply to enroll in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]] Program
* Gain access to Login
** {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home|VRChat Website}}
** [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]]
* Gain authorization access on platforms with VRChat SSO
** {{VRC link|https://wiki.vrchat.com/|VRChat Wiki}}
** {{VRC link|https://feedback.vrchat.com/|VRChat Feedback Board}}
** [https://ask.vrchat.com/|VRChat Ask Forums]
** Third-party vendors that utilize VRChat SSO

== Pre-merge considerations ==
=== Favorites limit ===
Upon merging, if the total number of favorites from both accounts exceeds the platform's maximum limit, users may retain more favorites than typically allowed. However, to add new favorites, users must remove existing ones to fit within the limit. It is generally advised to merge into a fresh account.

=== Purchase restrictions ===
Users who have made purchases through the [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]] on any platform (Steam, Meta, Pico, Viveport) cannot merge their accounts into a full VRChat account. This restriction is temporary and expected to be lifted.

== Merging process ==
[[File:VRChat Menu Merge Button.png|alt=A screenshot of the VRChat menu with a visible "Merge" button.|thumb|Menu with "Merge" button.]]
To merge a platform account into a full VRChat account, follow these steps:
# Log into the Steam, Meta, Pico, or Viveport account you wish to merge.
# Open the Main Menu in VRChat.
# Navigate to '''Settings'''.

This article highlights the process of '''merging''' an existing platform account to a regular VRChat account.

Platform accounts include pre-existing VRChat on the following devices:

* Steam
* Meta
* PICO
* Viveport

* Earn [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust Ranks|Trust Ranks]]
* Retain the simplicity of one-click logins
* Apply to enroll in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]] Program

** Third-party vendors that utilize VRChat SSO

== Pre-merge considerations ==
=== Favorites limit ===
Upon merging, if the total number of favorites from both accounts exceeds the platform's maximum limit, users may retain more favorites than typically allowed. However, to add new favorites, users must remove existing ones to fit within the limit. It is generally advised to merge into a fresh account.

=== Purchase restrictions ===
Users who have made purchases through the [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]] on any platform (Steam, Meta, Pico, Viveport) cannot merge their accounts into a full VRChat account. This restriction is temporary and expected to be lifted.

== Merging process ==
To merge a platform account into a full VRChat account, follow these steps:
# Log into the Steam, Meta, Pico, or Viveport account you wish to merge.
# Open the Main Menu in VRChat.
# Navigate to '''Settings'''.
# Locate and click the '''Merge''' button below the Exit option.
#* If the '''Merge''' button is not visible, you are already logged into a full VRChat account.
# Follow the on-screen instructions to link your account.

== Post-merge ==
Linking is permanent and irreversible. It can take up to one day for account data to fully merge. For any issues during or after the process, contact VRChat support at {{VRC link|https://vrch.at/support|VRChat Support}}.

== Limitations ==
Each full VRChat account can be linked to one account from each supported platform simultaneously.
