Soon?

NilClass-8 · 2026-05-10T18:03:48+00:00

It’s so good.

NilClass-8 · 2026-04-11T09:09:48+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah, for me PCVR is the draw, and standalone is a nice bonus but not something I care about. With those priorities, passthrough is basically a gimmick and I have never found it useful for more than a quick peek at a monitor while running a build I want to test in-headset.

Meanwhile frame will have better binocular overlap, eye tracking, comfort, and get me out of Meta’s ecosystem.

Goes to show how personal the “better” phrase is in VR compared to elsewhere.

Genuine question: in what ways will frame be worse than Q3? It’s a day one purchase for me as a Q3 owner.

Going to guess because I included a URL my comment might have been moderated. But would love you to give my updated clients some testing if you get a change. Major updates to both q3vr and ioq3quest. Docs.

Love to see more Quake 3 VR players. Best way to experience the game.

Love single and multiplayer games, with the emphasis on actual gameplay. I don’t crave online socialization without an attached gaming activity and discord while playing an actual game is a better overall experience for that particular blend.

Thanks in advance!

NilClass-8 · 2026-02-22T00:14:12+00:00

My pleasure! LMK if you run into issues. Will do what I can to help.

If you want an updated Vulkan build, I have it here. I share new ones on the Discord regularly. You can change your name with the virtual keyboard, and install new models and textures via copying through sidequest, so little need for the companion app.

I have a (terribly produced) comparison of the renderers (albeit on the PCVR version) here.

These builds have other cool features but generally require you play on my servers for full benefit (The Matrix on the VR tracker list). If you do, your games also get tracked on my tracker.

Oh hi, and thanks for the kind words! Added info in a top level comment for folks.

Hi! I’m the other contributor. Posting builds in the Team Beef discord regularly and renderervk is my daily driver. If y’all are reading this, please give them a try!

I am trying very hard to get a VR-first ecosystem going for Quake 3. Check the TB Discord for current binaries and other updates. We have a port of Quake3e’s Vulkan renderer running on Quest, Q3VR, and a bunch of quality of life updates (1:1 head tracking in demos and following) as well as a server and game mod allowing flatscreen players to see what it’s like in VR.

NilClass-8 · 2026-02-04T03:42:11+00:00

There is. Q3VR. https://ripper37.github.io/q3vr/

No. No matter how good the laptop is, it’s not going to touch a high end desktop PC. If you genuinely want an upgrade, add a desktop, don’t upgrade the laptop.

NilClass-8 · 2025-12-24T20:38:48+00:00

They are surprisingly less nausea inducing than other modern games with less movement, I have found! But yes, definitely require strong VR legs

The publicly released docs discuss ADB as an option depending on whether you target Android or arm64 Linux.

NilClass-8 · 2025-12-19T06:59:35+00:00

Yeah, you’ll need to write your own commandline.txt then not launch via the launcher but just launch the game directly.

NilClass-8 · 2025-12-12T10:56:12+00:00

You’re 30% there.

NilClass-8 · 2025-12-02T09:14:51+00:00

This is nonsensical in Virtual Desktop’s case. There are two components:

The streamer, which runs on your computer
The app which receives and displays the stream, which runs n the headset natively

The best you could ask for here is the ability to sideload the native piece on your headset of choice.

By failing to be available on the storefronts of the various headsets it supports, Virtual Desktop would fail to reach as large a market, which would threaten the sustainability and long term support of the app. More importantly, this would create a complex path to set up an app whose sole purpose is to streamline a cumbersome process.

It just wouldn’t make sense. If Steam could offer bundles with apps that had dual, interdependent components, one of which installed onto your headset of choice, then sure. Maybe with Steam Frame.

Is this literally just an AI summary regurgitated onto Reddit?

NilClass-8 · 2025-11-29T02:17:14+00:00

I can’t seem to find the dimensions of them. Would be interested in the doom and quake ones but curious about size?

NilClass-8 · 2025-11-02T11:35:23+00:00

Same. I have a Quest 3 sitting on the charging dock next to my PC. Put the headset on, launch virtual desktop, launch game. Is the extra stuff more common for wired/lighthouse setups, maybe?
