==Managing badges ==
Badges can be managed in the badge gallery on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] profile tab. Each badge has settings a user can change. You can display up to three badges on your profile at a time.

* '''Show badge on profile:''' When enabled, the badge will be showcased on the user's profile. When disabled, the badge will only be viewable in the user's badge gallery.
* '''Hide badge:''' When enabled, the badge will be hidden on the user's profile and badge gallery.

==Trivia ==
*The Early Supporter Badge featuring [[VRCat]] on the website is pettable.
*If you are actively subscribed to VRChat+, you can repeatedly click on VRCat in your [[Quick Menu]] to 'pet' them. VRCat will say a phrase when being pet.
*When obtaining the CHEESE badge, the user's background in their web profile will change to a cheesy background, this is only visible to the obtainer.
[[File:CHEESEbackground.webp|thumb|A user's profile affected by the "Cheese" badge, rendering their profile's background to appear as cheese.|none]]
*Some users immediately obtained the highest gifting badge, this is why the tiers go as high as they do.

Usr 2a7d7d7e-2b1b-40a7-b3ab-7caa1d964760: Added very common SDK platform issue fix.

==== SDK Listing Wrong Platform ====
You may run into an issue where both the VRChat SDK and the Unity interface imply that the SDK is set to a different platform than what you have currently selected (e.g. Android when it's set to Windows, Windows when it's set to Android).

This can manifest itself in ways such as the error "World download size too large for the target platform" despite building for Windows which does not have this limitation. This is due to Unity temporarily switching platforms when accessing the override panel of an asset (such as a texture or sound file).

To get back out of this state simply select any texture file within your project, click the Android icon under the settings for the asset, click the Windows tab (the screen icon) and then click back to the leftmost "Default" tab. Reverse the Windows and Android order if you're building for Android.

The SDK and Unity Settings window will now show the correct platform details as expected.

==Performance optimization tips==
There are a variety of ways to improve your performance in VRChat. Here are some useful ones to look at!

===Graphics Settings===
VRChat has a plenty of [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Graphics|graphics settings]] to tweak. Consider lowering some of these performance heavy settings.

*Anti-Aliasing
*Shadows
*Level of Detail
*Particle Physics Quality
*Particle Limiter
*Pixel Light Count

===Avatar Optimization===
Avatars could be one of the biggest causes for performance issues. Consider changing some [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Avatar Optimization|settings]] on how avatars get shown to you.
{| class="wikitable"
!Block Poorly Optimized Avatars
|You can set certain avatar performance ranks to be hidden by default.
'''Note:''' Setting this option too strictly could cause a lot of avatars to be hidden
|-
!Maximum Download Size
|Some avatars may be large in file size, could be problematic if you have slow internet and loading in a bunch of avatars at once!
|-
!Maximum Uncompressed Size
|Some avatars textures could take up a lot space in your memory, could be problematic if you have a lot of avatar shown.
|}

====Avatar Culling====
[[Special:MyLanguage/Settings#Avatar Culling|Avatar Culling]] is a great way to dynamically adjust how many avatars are visible around you. Consider turning on some of these settings.
{| class="wikitable"
!Hide Avatar Beyond
|Hides avatars past a certain range
|-
!Maximum Shown Avatars
|Hides avatars if there is too many in a instance
|}

===Trust and Safety System===
Utilize VRChat's [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Trust and Safety System]] to hide avatar features based on [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust Rank|trust rank]]. A great way to prevent bad actors from abusing performance heavy avatars.

Try selecting one of the defaults or custom to your liking.
