VaM 1.20.1.5 Patch Released
VaM 1.20.1.X is now out of beta and is released to everyone. This patch includes a lot of tweaks and bug fixes, mostly all based on community feedback on the Hub and on the official Discord server. Thank you for your continued help finding and reporting issues! The preferred place to report bugs is now on the Hub as it is much easier to track and reply as needed. With this release, we fixed nearly everything reported on the Hub bug forum! Please see this link to see fixes or report new issues:
https://hub.virtamate.com/forums/vam-bug-reports.9/
There are a few tweaks and bug fixes that we did not complete that we would still like to put into 1.20.1.X, so we will likely followup with another release in a week or so with those.
As mentioned in the previous 1.20.1.4 release post, we will continue to make refinements on the VaM platform whenever possible, but the key focus going forward is VaM2 development. Currently VaM2 work is being done in parallel to VaM work such as this release. VaM releases will come out less frequently as focus shifts to the future platform.

sometimes we just need a reminder that this is the greatest program ever created by man
keep up the hard work cant wait for 2X
For those of us that are extremely impatient but also excited! Could we perhaps get a few tidbits on what to expect from the soon to come 1.X update? Tysm!
You can see nearly everything that will be in the next 1.X release here, but there are a few surprises we have not yet announced that we don't want to spoil. The release will be out very soon! https://trello.com/b/LDlEpfvk/virt-a-mate-public-plans
How do i connect my oculus quest 2??
Via Virtual Desktop or Link. You have to install Steam VR. ;)
OK, all right, wait and see and have some tea.
Please see this post for the latest 2.X information. We will also provide a 2.X update in the coming weeks. https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-and-42743488
Is this Project dead?
No! 2.X is being actively developed and is in early phase development so there will not be frequent updates. A large 1.X release is also about to come out.
Any idea when AR mode will be implemented for VR ?
Any updates on 2.0?
After the upcoming 1.X release is out (very soon) I will also provide some 2.X details. 2.X will take quite a lot of time to fully develop. Alpha releases will be made available as we go.
Thank you, its as you stated :) Also thank you for "game" its awesome :D seriously i didnt supoouse someone could create application with so many possibilities and freedom of creation. if i may advise take a closer look with animal/beast models and its morphs. Probably you know about Project Helius and his Fallen Doll Operation Lovecraft (which is based mainly on beast of all kind fetish) and have almost 13000 patrons(edited: 15500 now :) ). i think it would be great addition for VAM project. :D
Is it possible to load character apearence from preset buty without cloting, there are many scene where actors have some scene lore cloting and if i want to use my favorit presets it also change clothing which can break scene flow.
Yes - you can use the new preset lock feature. Go to the clothing presets tab. Check the "Lock Controlled Param Values" box. Now when you load an appearance preset, the clothing won't change. You can also do this with the other types of presets if you want to lock specific things as they currently appear in the scene.
Can you please add an option to disable joint stick control while enabling drag to move control. because I have controler drifting problem in this game. I never have this problem in other vr games. I use WMR.
You can fix deadzone by adjusting in SteamVR. You can also customize the controls completely in SteamVR and remove stick movement control if you prefer. Here is a note on deadzone fix: https://trello.com/c/e15ktUiV You can rebind controls in SteamVR overlay in another menu in there
Hello dear Meshed VR! Could you please make it possible to move the slider when setting morphs to -10 \ -1 \ -0.1 \\ + 0.1 \ +1 \ +10? I miss this most for ease of use. I have an Oculus Rift S and its controls are not as accurate. I'm constantly trying to hit a certain number for a good luck. Thank you!
Anyone running a 2080ti or higher on this game? If so what kind of fps are you getting on scenes with more than 1 character and reflective objects?
I run a 3080 and can't ever get over 72 FPS on scenes with more than 1 character. BUT I can set it on Max and it runs without reprojection but my GPU gets super hot
I think I'm being dumb but it seems like there are loads of things on hub that I can't find when in app. For example "jaina" look. It's great to see this release though thank you
Really appreciate all your hard work and the response to community feedback. VaM is by far the greatest application ever made for VR and I am extremely happy to support you and the team. Keep up the good work!
I remember experimenting with poser from curious labs and vue from e-on software back in 2003-2006,.. Nice to see that we can use VR with this project.
Has the unity crashing with RTX3080 gpus been addressed?
This is the 1st I have heard of this, but it isn't crashing on my new system with an RTX3080.
I honestly believe that this is the gateway to something beyond ground breaking. When 2.0 is finally released and VAM is leveraging Unity's latest features such as DOTS. We can see games being developed like L.A. Noir Cyberpunk, Skyrim. All with the high resolution and physics utilized when and where they are needed. With a dedicated dev team and the right leadership, I can see VAM being used to develop the next level of VR gaming.
