Quest 3 enhancements for standalone?

[PhoenixAscended]

My question for the developers is if they will upgrade the graphics and amount of enemies that can spawn on the Quest 3, as the Quest 3's graphical performance/resolution is much better than the Quest 2, a lot of games already have done this so if you are on a quest 3 it increases the graphics, resolution, and other performance related parts of the game

Otherwise I do not see myself using my quest 3 to play this game, as the nomad graphics are okay once you are actually playing the game but compared to the PCVR version its just sad.

No, there are no plans to do a standalone update for the q3

Unfortunate, I do hope we get something for it in the future.

Yeah I ended up refunding the Nomad version since they don't plan to implrove it for the Quest 3 and I bought this steam version instead, but I have a beefy PC and a good wifi. It sucks they won't be working on nomad anymore.

What? Of course we'll be working on Nomad, it was just *built* for the Quest 2, and we don't plan to do any graphical upgrades for the quest 3.
Nomad will continue to get every update pcvr gets

When you say built are you suggesting even adding a setting to change the graphics and restricting that setting to the Quest 3 would cause internal issues with nomad if I may ask?

Pretty much yeah, as of right now we have 5 different builds of the game
1, PCVR (steam, Oculus store, Viveport, and probably others)
2, Nomad
3, Arcade (for VR Arcade places)
4, Pico store
5, pico china
Adding a 6th one, would slow development time significantly, because we'd have to do extreme testing from the ground up to make sure the Q3 could handle better physics and graphics. Then if it doesnt work, we'd have to go back, lower it all again, see if it works, and repeat.
*as of right now* there are no plans for a Q3 graphics upgrade, but there maybe a chance of it after 1.0 and its subsequent patches drop

I have a question: I'm thinking about getting a Q3. I currently have a Rift S which is still great, but some games on the meta ecosystem I can't play.

I have the PCVR version of B&S, if I cable link the Q3, do you think it'll run just as well as my Rift S?

I'd imagine itd perform just about the same, though i will say youll get much better results using Virtual Desktop/ALVR rather than link, unless you have a *really* good cable with no wiggle room at all

The quest 3 has double the resolution per eye I believe?

Thank you, I've heard the wifi 6 stuff isn't that expensive to get either. I was just worried if the Q3 would be a pain interacting with a PCVR environment.
Appreciate the quick reply!

Heck I don't even use Wifi 6. I just a 5ghz router ATT provides and it works great! Of course I don't have many neighbors. The only reason to use 6 is if you have a lot of neighbors that use wifi and it's congested.

Oh well that's good to hear! I just saw some comments about Nomad not getting any updates for the Q3 and I assumed that meant it was a dead version. Of course no optimization/graphical updates to the Q3 still makes that version obsolete compared to just using the Steam version via wifi.

This means maybe 2.0 if they use that naming convention (cause previously they were saying things like u12) we get graphical updates, granted, they specifically mentioned it would be after 1.0 and is patches so I wouldn't expect it very soon

GET A Quest 3!

I started years ago with Google Cardboard, then Gear VR, Oculus Rift CV1, Quest, Quest 2, and now Quest 3. Quest's with virtual desktop were a game changer for me. You have no idea how being attached to wires ruins immersion until you've played wirelessly.

I own both PCVR B&S, and B&S Nomad. I've been a fan since the earliest demo was put out. I am talking pretty bare bones back in the day. Now I can take my Q3, go out to a large park across the road, and play Nomad in a soccer field during the daytime. I am careful of course with optics and sunlight, but it tracks everything just fine. Playing B&S pcvr at home through Virtual Desktop is also awesome, but having moded B&S mobile at a park is truly amazing.

Has anybody asked you what you were doing in the middle of a park with a quest 3 on making fisting motions lol
