Whats the thing with the latest security update? Have any of you gotten into trouble by downloading something from f95?

VaM 1.22.0.6 Security Patch
New
December 7
Important Info! Please READ!
Please update immediately to the 1.22.0.6 security patch. A security hole with the plugin system was reported to us earlier this week by community member TBD. A huge thank you to them for bringing this to our attention privately so we could address it properly without allowing others to utilize the exploit while we worked on a patch and additional safety on the Hub. The 1.22.0.6 patch addresses this security hole. We highly recommend everyone update to 1.22.0.6 immediately as the security hole could be used by a malicious plugin creator to run unauthorized programs on your computer when that plugin is loaded or running. For those that can't update for whatever reason, we strongly suggest you disallow loading of any plugins from sources you don't recognize or disable plugins completely. These options are in the User Preferences Security tab inside VaM (see screenshot below). In addition to releasing this patch, we have scanned all plugins uploaded to the Hub, and as expected, none of them are using this exploit. We have taken further measures to prevent releasing code to the Hub that uses this exploit in case users are not aware or not able to update to 1.22.0.6. You can be assured that plugins downloaded from the Hub are safe from this exploit, but we would encourage you to be extra careful of plugins hosted outside of the Hub as we cannot check those. If you are using 1.22.0.6 the unsafe method gets automatically mapped to a new safe method so it seamlessly works with older plugins that used this method in a non malicious way. 1.22.0.6 blocks all malicious uses of this method. It is therefore highly recommended to update to 1.22.0.6 even if you are only using plugins from the Hub, and it is especially critical to update to 1.22.0.6 if you use plugins that are not hosted on the Hub.
More Info
The security patch released yesterday (1.22.0.4) addressed the immediate security issue, but it was too restrictive and broke many popular plugins. There was also an accidental change to the shadowing CG code which caused changes in lighting on models. As such, we removed that patch and have issued this one as a replacement. 1.22.0.6 properly fixes the security hole and does not have the accidental shadowing code change.

This is a good reminder that running plugins is potentially dangerous even with our security sandbox in place. You can disable or restrict plugins in the User Preferences Security tab shown below. By default, all plugin loading prompts you if you want to load a specific plugin or not. It is highly recommended you only load plugins from sources you trust. When plugins load, they alert you, and you can deny loading them once or always as needed. Please review all the info in the Security tab to be sure you are comfortable with your settings. The ? buttons next to the checkboxes show additional info of each setting.

View attachment 4385229 help, anyone can tell me why did I load the character like this? View attachment 4385230
you need to provide more info if you want people to help, like maybe a link to the scene or something. just from the pictures i think the original scene maybe be using some plugins to hide parts of body. something like . the actual body is hidden and wat you see is a clothing. since you didnt load that plugin the actual body is clipping through. but thats just a guess.

Oh, I found the plugin settings in the link, the problem is solved, thank you, I wouldn't have found it without your reminder

So ive had vam for a week and have gotten used to the mechanics and its hub. There is something i have noticed and wondered which is why do some creators upload images of their looks (which looks stunning imo) but wont share or put a price tag on it?

I found a look which i am interested in which has no patreon or normal download but i dont want to come off as an asshole or ”beg” for the looks.

Is the look you want is from cheezyFX?

I usually tend not to update VAM to avoid breaking things.
However, I had to do it because of the security update. And of course it broke stuff :HideThePain: .

The most annoying problem is the physics.
For some reason, the physics seem less stable than in previous versions (maybe MeshedVR updated it?).

For example, I have a simple missionary/vaginal scene.
The dick "wriggles" like a fish inside her vagina, rather than remaining "stable".
It's a bit like when the angle between the two is wrong and the collision system can't stabilize. Except that the angle is/was perfect in this scene.

It doesn't happen on all my scenes, but I have quite a few scenes that have the problem and I can't see myself redoing them...
The physics also seem slower than before, but maybe that's just a side effect of the collisions messing things up.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Just out of curiousity do you have the performance patch from turtlebackgoofy before updating vam to new security patch?

No I don't use any external stuff to avoid messing with my install.

Here is an example of the problem:

As you can see the dick is constantly bouncing.

usually the physics go weird like that when you have unstable fps. can very much help with this but it doesnt work on latest patch, you have to downgrade. you can also try "high quality physics" in user preferences, it will further decrease fps but it should make it better. try changing the physics rate too.

Yes, maybe it is related to FPS.
I just checked the fps in this scene and here's what I got:

fps.png

It's extremelly low for my config (9900KS / 32GB RAM / 3080) considering the scene is simple (2 characters, a table, a light).
What's more, I've used the desktop mode to take the screenshot (1080p), but I normally only use VAM in VR, so performance is even worse than that... I'm supposed to be at 90fps in VR without any reprojection on a scene like that.
However, as I said in my first post, maybe it's because the physics are buggy that it's slow, not the opposite? (because there are a lot of collisions happening all the time so everything lags because of it). But I'm just speculating, as I really don't know what's causing this problem.

Here are the settings I use.
Please note that Physic Rate is usually AUTO => 90Hz (or forced to 90Hz) on my VR headset but since I took the screenshot on desktop it's different.

EDIT: unchecking "High Quality Physics" seems to lower the "bouncing". It's still present but less noticeable. Thanks for the tip
