Agreed VR + VAM is awesome, the ability to swap out models and going into passenger mode is amazing. I haven't tried it but am curious about the chat room + play plugin. Looks fun.

But my aging 8700K + 3090 has massive loading times even on SSDs, which is my main gripe and why I don't get into VAM as much as i used to. Hopefully Vam2 fixes this.

your loads goes up as more vars you have on VAM. Try to limit vars to the only ones you need and vam will run 100x faster. Also, use the performance plugin that gets 30%+ more performance.

This is not necessary at all when using var browser. Check the comments on the hub for this plugin.
"This is a amazing, thank you very much for this. Now my bloated VAM starts up in about 5 seconds, instead of 5 minutes."

That pretty much says everything. Overall FPS are also better and lagspikes midscenes are gone for me.

Just in case anyone is curious about the details as to why more .vars slows down VAM is MeshedVR (the main dev of VAM) explaining what the culprit is.
TLDR; the game engine references every morph you have installed each frame. So the more morphs(often included with looks), the more that needs to be computed each frame.

Having a lot of clothing installed does appear to slow down the person atom menu, but I cant confirm that.

is the most complete solution to the load times/low fps as already mentioned. Also Browser Assist has a working beta that currently has a "var management" feature which achieves the same goal of speeding up load times/ boosting fps by unloading Vars you arent using.

I kicked almost all clothing var's and alot of clutter like "animated people".
ALSO I recommend using "everlaster.UXPlus" as a session plugin.
It has an alternative plugin managment feature which is quite amazing and saves so much time.
Updating a person's plugin to the latest version with one click, recover old settings after reloading the plugin itself, favorites and much more ;)

Ooo that sounds convienent. never did try out UXplus, but i think today is the day lol.

On the same note, there is a new (i think) plugin i use as a session plugin "qdaro.UITweaks". It adds in shortcuts such as right click to reset filters on dropdown menus, middle click to toggle morphs between their current value and 0, scrolling pages of clothing/morphs with the scroll wheel, etc. It also works in Var browser, so no more needing to scroll up the entire list of creators to reset the filter.

Var Browser is a must have for potato computers and really any large VAM library. Easily cut my load times in half and improved framerates noticably.

It's a must have for any rig tbh
Combine this with the CPU fix from the hub and the FSR mod if you are using VR to get the best out of your potato.

First link from github.
I start vam with the openvr.bat when using VR.
You can also adjust the sharpening within config or with hotkeys but stock settings seems good enough.
Oh... I already tried it. But I'm mostly CPU bottlenecked, so no big gains... =/

What are your specs?

I didn't mean that particular video, i meant the original var scene. i'm sure i saw it on the vamhub a year or two ago. might of have had geroxslayer's Jannie ↓ in the preview. I'm sure i downloaded it at some point, i might have even tried it out with that model. (diffent model may have been used in the preview) but i can't for the life of me remember who it's by or what the scene was called

I'm not sure then, sorry. I'm pretty sure the one I linked only releases videos, not VARs.
