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 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 settings on how avatars get shown to you.
| 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
Avatar Culling is a great way to dynamically adjust how many avatars are visible around you. Consider turning on some of these settings.
| 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 Trust and Safety System to hide avatar features based on 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.
