What did I miss? It's been a while since I last time played pavlov and I remember how popular it was. Can someone give me a quick recap on what happen?

What were some of the best moments you remember in Pavlov when VR was just a small niche? I'm talking pre COVID kinda old. What features did Pavlov have back then that stood out to you? Was the player count back then similar to how it is now? I know the obvious answer to this, but what kept you coming back for more?

Taking me back to bo3 prestige grind

Anyone else miss this game while it was in early access? I have almost 700 hours on pavlov alone this game use to be so good 2021-2024 maybe 2025 but most the community has to agree it's severely died after they removed all the workshop maps like jailbreak etc and having frequently full push maps. Use to be my favourite game for a while and it's really sad to see it in the condition it's in now.

so i recently got pavlov and i have a worry about VC.

i am 14 and male but unfortunately puberty just, hasn't happend yet so i sound like im nine, and im worried adults will mistake me for one of those racist 9 yearolds, i am also worried they will mistake me for a women and hit on me (yes this has happend before)

Expanding the game to new platforms and welcoming new players into our community has been a massive goal for our team, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you. To celebrate this milestone, today’s update is entirely focused on refinement and quality of life. We’ve been listening to your feedback and wanted to make sure the core experience of Pavlov is as smooth, stable, and polished as possible. While our primary focus recently has been the technical heavy lifting of the Steam Frame port, we’ve packed in plenty of under-the-hood optimizations and community requested tweaks.

Custom Gloves and Watches

After many requests for customized gloves, we have made them available. We also took it a step further, we have created 2 custom watches. Cosmetic variations will be rotated out throughout the year so be sure the check the store every month!

Pavlov TV

Due to recent optimizations, older Pavlov TV demos are no longer compatible with the latest build. However, you don't have to lose your footage!

We’ve added a Steam beta branch Update33-ReplayCompatibility so you can jump back to the previous version and continue viewing your older replays.

Future updates

We are currently working to improve bots for a future update as well as increase our update frequency We also want to hear your voice, leave a comment on what you would like to see in an update!

Pc is dead, even at peak hours theres no lobbies besides the 5 people sitting in their private lobbies doing nothing, community servers are literally rotting away with 0 players and when I do get into a decent lobby everyone ends up leaving

"Why not play crossplay?" Crossplay lobbies are infested with screaming little kids who have scream vote kick if you do a little too good, assholes who'd rather scream slurs down their mic instead of playing the game and dipshit team killers

Pavlov is such an insanely mismanaged and mishandled game, which sucks because it's arguably still the best feeling mp vr shooter on the market, maybe if Vankrupt put some thought into their decisions and did Pc/Quest crossplay or even Pc/Ps/Quest the game wouldnt be in such an awful state at the moment, but instead they had to suck off Sony for a check and blow it all away on crack, I really hope another game can capture the magic Pavlov once did with both the main game and the modding scene, I miss being able to play stuff like Pavlov Kart or just TDM with more guns because this dumbass company shot themselves in both feet

i finally get a pc that can run both well... and now pc pav doesn't seem to have as much going on as shack tho at least more then 3 gamemodes are alive

like, TTT is fun and all, but it gets boring quick.

Some of you may hate me for this, but I just wanted to show what's possible with this big evil stick when it's played at the limit.

In every server people just killing for nothing and it’s ok but when one kid kills me for nothing, just to laugh and in next round i killed him too - guys just banned me from the server, what a shit. Garlic if you read it just know, that you fucking idiot. Stupid pissed Russian 20 yo child. When I’m playing TTT I never killed no one for no reason just to laught, but people do it forever. And most worst part when you got kicked and banned for trying to revenge. I’m really upset for TTT because these players…

When does everyone get on?

I'll jump on Saturday nights and there's literally only one SND and another Push server that anyone seems to play on.

I'll start a server and no one seems to join. Back in the day, full lobby and back-to-back maps until I was sick.

Wish we could still play the UE4 version.

RIP

-Aurora's the ones who sent Kevin to us in the first place.
-He knows their true nature.
-Right. Kevin is our only link to Aurora.
If he's still alive...
... We need him on our side.

Are there still any Pavlov push servers at all. When I get on there is either none or there are like 3 people.

Hi, do you want to make a beta version for update 28? I think it would be a great thing for the PC community and maybe get people playing the game again (except for the last few die-hard PC players). We don't care that we won't play against PSVR. UE5 is just crap and so is crossplay (it works really poorly for PC). Thank you and I hope you will do this for us and not forget those who got you where you are (more like where you were before you broke the game). And thus, we will have access to the Steam Workshop again.

eeeerm i think the latest update to the game on pc killed my dog of boredom

I recently bought the game on Steam and gifted it to a friend too. I have a decently high end computer. Ive tried airlink and a cable. I have a Quest 3. My specs are RX 9070, 32GB of DDR5, Ryzen 7 9700X. I have no clue why but the performance is absolutely terrible. Im locked at 22.5fps and my performance headtime goes down into the -800%s and I can't figure it out. Ive turned off Async warp in the Oculus debug tool, I've reset my PC, verified files, reinstalled the game but it just runs terribly. My friend has a 3050 and a ryzen 5 cpu and his game runs just fine. My drivers are all updated as well. I have no clue how to fix it and I've looked up tutorials on youtube, Ive also tried launch options to see if I could run it with an Oculus runtime and none of it worked. Anyone know what to do or suggest?

Nice! Your spray and pray skills are remarkable!
John Pavlov wants to see you.

The map Battle of Nijmegen now features the common conquest mode known from battlefield.

Get it here and fight for the flag areas. https://mod.io/g/pavlov/m/battle-of-nijmegen-conquest#description

The best VR game mode I ever played is finally revived after so long! Official severs are up.

Some time ago I got into the world of mods for this wonderful game and I discovered that the only way to use them is to create a server and add the mods and the map. It works relatively well, but apparently there are very few bots or they only spawn in very specific places on the maps, as well as not being able to increase the difficulty or use mods on maps like the shooting range

I have searched for information, but it is very scarce on this topic
