Thanks for the reply. It is checked in the security tab. Even with antivirus and firewall off i still cannot play video in the web panels?
you might have to add an expection to the your firewall eventhough it is turned off. some antivirus software dont really turn of for the sake of security. this goes beyond my knowledge though

Well, you don't have to think of this, as a "game". It is more of an engine, where you can create your own scenes and/or download content from others.

Does your main menu say, that you have creator access? If not use this key for it: C44826

Also check out Reddit, if you dont want to make your own stuff. Theres for example but also Patreon stuff
This easy mate looks interesting, last time I tried to play VAM in desktop mode it was seriously not worth it as it would have taken a lifetime just to create one scene, hell I couldn't even figure out how to use other users scenes correctly. Is this mod pack worth it in desktop mode?

Well, tbh i dont own VR and i tried Easy Mate and i would give you a cautious no. All the scenes are very much made to be played with a VR set (ofc since its the main idea behind virt-a-mate), but you can still at least watch and advance most of the scenes with mouse and keyboard. The thing you cant do, is playing the scenes which are made to play with the controlers, since you are supposed to grab the npc and move them yourself, e.g. in a doggystyle scene, otherwise the characters just sit there doing nothing.
Also, you can watch the scene in first person POV, but i personally had some problems with it, since the turning point stayed somewhere outside the figure and whenever i moved the camera, the whole body moved and messed up the scene. I had to zoom in per mousewheel as far as i could before going into first person mode for it to work. For every damn scene and whenever you advance the scene, you had to do it again.

So if you can deal with moving the camera around, everytime the scene changes and if you are ok with it, that you basicly only use half or maybe even less of the functions the game offers, then you might as well try it.
But for the size of it (about 18gb) and if you dont have a VR set, you should go for maybe something like Wild Life since it offers about the same, if not more i would say, for less disk space.

I see. Is it hard or complex to make stuff? and considering what you said can I make fully animated sex scenes?
Start with premade scenes and play around with them and youll learn in no time. There is tons of free stuff to download here.



It is a little complicated to make a scene from scratch but i learned it in about 10 hours or so

ok I just read, so you can use it without VR rig right? Just some features disabled?
Yeah, everything works in desktop, what you miss is things like your hands and other VR specific stuff, but even some can be used with plugins, there's one that let's you grab cloth with your mouse for example.
I'd say that desktop mode is the way to go if you want to create scenes or do customization (much faster), while VR is better to experience.
Oh btw, to launch in desktop use the updater or the bat file that says desktop.

I'm using it without a VR rig. I was wondering how it is like using one though and really interested in getting one.
Not even sure what's missing if I'm using a mouse except the Z axis in terms of precision control so it's more of a restricted 1 handed job?

There's a Desktop Mode and for Easy Mate I think it's weird because you get a tutorial that you don't get when you just use it normal?
I put in Easy Mate and have to say it's nice to have some stuff to check out before delving into customization.

That's a shame, I did like what the engine could offer and do love a good sandbox but I feel this thing is made for VR (at least to play scenes etc) I would also love to get a VR headset not just for this but there is no stock anywhere atm at least nothing under 1k.

Yeah I have played WL, it has potential but very boring after 10-15mins. Oh well.

Virt-a-Mate is the greatest (adult) VR experience you'll ever get! I've been supporting this project for almost two years now, and the developer is doing god's work!

For new "players", using Virt-a-Mate (or "VaM" for short) will mostly be very frustrating, because first of all it's not a game. If you're looking for something you just install, run, and then experience some nice, sultry, sexy scenes, you'll be disappointed! VaM is a sandbox for creating awesome stuff, and therefore you either have to create your very own "scenes" or use some of the community shared ones (more on that later). Also the interface may not be the most intuitive one, and to be fair, there's quite a steep learning curve on how to use it.

VaM has full physics support (on models and clothing), an import feature for models, morphs, clothing, textures, assets etc., so the possibilities are almost endless. As of now (version 1.19.x) it only support DAZ' Genesis 2 figures. You can import clothes from your DAZ library into VaM, or you can use the integrated clothes creator to create your own clothes. There's also a hair styling tool which allows you to create your own hair styles.

There's a where people are sharing their creations: models (called "looks"), clothes, hair styles or even full scenes with models/clothes/assets and animations. Or you can join the official , where people do share stuff, too. And with the newly release VaM package system, sharing content is as easy as it gets!

And yes, VaM can be used in desktop mode, too. But: while setting up a scene in desktop mode maybe easier than in VR, to get the full experience out of a scene I strongly recommend using a VR headset! And because it's all real time, you always can jump into a scene and modify it to your liking -- change the models, have them wear different clothes, use a different light setup etc..

Although I'm not really a fan of "dick girls", is a great example of what's currently possible: changing the speed of the animation "on the fly" for each character individually and making them cum whenever you want to -- how can someone not like that? ;-)

There will be one more major 1.x release, version 1.20. After that, the developer will focus mainly on the development of version 2, which he is already working on. Version 2 will greatly improve the overall performance, it will have Genesis 3/8 support, (hopefully) a better UI, and much more I'm currently missing. But after 1.20 it will be a long way to version 2.x, and as he already posted on Patreon, the first release(s) of version 2.x will have less features than 1.20, but he will keep adding all of the current features during the ongoing development process. But my guess is that there will be no version 2 release in 2020. So, have a go with version 1.19 (and 1.20 when it's released), and enjoy the best adult VR experience you'll ever get!

I wish I had read this before downloading and extracting 16GB
I can't wait for 2.0 and the supposedly improved UI. I gave it a couple of hours and the interface plain SUX.

I still suggest you'll give it a try, you have downloaded it already, so don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use, even in VR. But yes, an overall better UI is what almost everybody wants to see in 2.x ;-)

Not really. I'm still waiting for an ingame scene browser (one that actually just works) so I dont have to deal with the 213510 different ways of scene creators sharing stuff. Still waiting for a proper ingame browser (one that actually works and plays videos). Still waiting for a local video player ingame. And still waiting for Genesis Model 3/8 support. Oh and something very simple and user friendly like girl -> position -> doggystyle still don't exist.

All of this, at least for me, is more important than moving a menu from here to there (again) and making a button bigger or smaller (again).

I guess what you missing is mo-cap, whit VR you can motion capture animations really fast and record them...
