Unity Virt-A-Mate [v1.22.0.3] [Meshed VR]

[theMickey_]

Can anyone pleas help me?

I'm not familiar with the Quest 3 (or any Quest) headset, but let me ask this: can you use your headset with SteamVR? Meaning if you start SteamVR, do you get into an actual 3D world (your "Home") without Virtual Desktop?

If so, can you then try to use the "VaM (OpenVR).bat" file to start VaM and see if that works? At least that's how I start VaM in VR mode on my current (and on my previous) headset and it works fine: first start SteamVR, then use the batch file to start VaM in VR mode.

Hey theMickey_

I really appreciate your help.

I've tried your method by installing SteamVR and launching it. From there I could open the (OpenVR.bat) file, which placed me in a large open area with an aurora in the background under a starry night, with a block saying "VaM" and "Up next" below it.
Unfortunately I couldn't get further than that. Even if I added it to my steam library and ran it from there I would unfrotunately get the unending loading screen in the large white space.

I've added some other VR games from F95 to my steam library and those worked.

No need to add it to your Steam Library at all.

But let me ask a question again: how long did you wait when you got the "Up next" screen for VaM...?! Because VaM can take quite some time (up to several minutes!) to start, especially if you already have installed a couple of addons like scenes, looks etc. -- and it gets even worse if VaM is installed on a HDD (instead of of a SDD/NVMe).

So please try it again: first time without using SteamVR and using the "VaM (Desktop Mode).bat" file to run the Desktop mode of VaM. Use a timer to see how long it takes to start. Then quit VaM, start SteamVR, wait until SteamVR is fully loaded, and this time use the "VaM (OpenVR).bat" file to start VaM in VR mode -- then wait at least twice as long as it took VaM to start in Desktop mode (this isn't usually twice as long, but just to be safe!).

If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone else will jump in who actually knows how to run VaM on your Quest 3 headset... At least I tried ;-)

// EDIT: I highly suggest to test a clean, unmodified (as in "freshly downloaded, no additional addons installed") version of VaM first to figure out the steps you need to do to run VaM in VR mode on your headset. Once you've figured it out, you can switch back to an already modified version and try again.

Can anyone pleas help me?


I've recently gotten myself a new pc and the Meta Quest 3 for VR games, one of the titles I was very looking forward to was VaM, but unfortunately I can't seem to launch/play it properly.

Thus far I've tried to launch VaM both with Virtual Desktop and with the Link cable, both don't work properly.

Virtual desktop:
Upon launching VaM either via the VaM Updater > VR LAUNCH, the game will just start as usual with Virtual Desktop, that being just a virtual computerscreen floating in front of me and having very limited options. Basically I can't seem to launch it as if I'm in the 3D reality of the game itself, just replacing my physical screen with a virtual one.

Link cable:
Upon launching VaM with the Link cable I'm not even getting into the menu, but forever stuck sitting in a large white room with a grid and the VaM loading screen in front of me, never changing.

I'm at a loss at what I'm doing wrong, I hope anyone here might be able to help me with this, I would be very grateful.

these are my system specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF 3.20 GHz
32,0 GB RAM
ROG STRIXX RTX 4070 TI

1. Download and install Virtual Desktop (VD) streamer on your PC and your Quest 3.
2. Run it in your PC
3. Run it in your Quest 3 (You should now see your desktop streaming to your quest 3)
4. Right click the VD tray icon and select lanuch game

Can anyone recommend some session plugins to use as standard? I have JayJayWon's BrowserAssist and Redeyes DiviningLipsAndHands as standard. I'm still finding that scenes loaded, without changing preset atoms, miss their intended target so to speak, or bend and go in strange directions. Which in turn makes loading different presets into scenes almost certain to not work as intended.

I'm using VaM in desktop mode. I don't use VR mode.

The only one I have as a default session plugin currently is the BrowserAssist as well. I once had a few additional ones which changed/added some menus and "quick actions" (like adding/removing atoms via hotkeys and such), but I forgot their exact names and haven't added them (yet) to my current setup.

I would definitely not add anything like "DiviningLipsAndHands", as this changes how characters "behave" in certain situations and therefore might interfere with scenes. Those kinda plugins I would add to selected scenes as scene plugins, but I don't want to have it active all the time.

So it might be that which is causing the problems. I'll remove it then and see how it goes.

What I do is simply put on the goggles, grab the remote controls, open the menu, click to open desktop, then file management, then the folder where I placed VirtuaMate, and finally double-click the Vam exe-file. It takes a while for the program to load, so a little patience is needed. But, you could try that, maybe?

Any recommendations for morphs that can help me make the model's eyes more Asian? By default there are so many eye morphs. I feel a certain combination of them should work but I cannot figure out.

hi. who have this...

I don't f*cking care anymore if this thread gets blocked/locked/removed because people keep asking for assets in here although there's a dedicated Asset Requests section. We've been warned before by Mods that this will happen if people keep asking here instead.

anyone know if we need to keep every version of every dependency, or do we only need the latest ones? if a package calls for acidbubbles embody 51, does know that it can just use the most recent version, which is 58?

my VaM folder is 189GB now, which i think is about 1/3 of a typical CoD game. it's getting a little hard to manage now

Part of the issue there is that some scenes require old enough versions of a plugin that certain features in a version that old may not exist in the newer versions. So in essence, you kinda have to keep every version in terms of plugins at the least usually. Also it's my recommendation to get a good large size SSD or HDD for the game itself so you don't have to worry about such issues.

Clear your VaM cache from time to time and delete big var files you maybe never will use.
For me, I rarely import clothing dependencies because you who needs thousands of clothing items in a sex sim.
And stuff like "animated people" has like a dozen if not more versions with around 1GB each one.
Boosting performance and some loading times especially for VR helps by deleting unwanted crap.

In only keep the last version and never had problems with that. So, I think the best practice is to just keep the last version and download the old version only if needed.

I also remove normalmap textures from characters. They are so big and they make so little difference.

If you're an absolute beginner with VaM, it can be overwhelming and frustrating, because it's not very intuitive to be honest. I suggest you search for "vam beginner tutorial" on YT and check some videos first.
