Oh Quake 3 and Quakelive are my most played games ever, I played between 2002 to about 2011, free for all deathmatches and 1v1 matches online. I was pretty good with the railgun.

Actually, since I don't have a gaming pc and only a have a bog standard laptop, I'm not equipped for PCVR so maybe I can't do either of those Doom games in standalone.
A laptop is fine for loading sidequest and sideloading games on your headset. Once sideloaded and the game files copied across you don't need your PC connected.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean about loading Sidequest, I meant being able to play Doom 3 and Doom 3 Fully Possessed in standalone without PCVR and from what you're saying, I can which is great.
I've ordered the BINBOK VR T3 would have gotten the Bobo but it sounds like its not keeping up with the drain form the Q3, Binboks keeps the headset charged or so people say, its $55 (£44.46) for the headstrap and one battery and $99(£80.03) for headstrap x2 bats and charger.
Think its priced same as bobo as the £54 one only come with one battry too and you gotta buy more and the charger.
The reviews for the 2 battery version mention an annoying buzzing noise.
Agreed. I'm not sure if you're aware but there's HD graphics mods that iirc works with HL2 VR, makes a nice difference visually.

I'm using the 3.0 beta from steam VR, which enhances the graphics, is that the one ?

Yes i think that 1 enhances the graphics, there's others too, i'm not sure how they compare, I forget which 1 i used.

I've got Sidequest and Quest Games Optimiser installed in my headset now and Developer Mode enabled after creating an organisation yesterday.
I've been playing around with QGO and it's amazingly good. It seems all games are set at 1680 x 1760. But I tried 3542 x 3684 for Republique VR and The Room: A Dark Matter and what a difference. Republique already looked pretty good but the resolution bump really crisps things up. The characters on a keyboard for instance at the start of the game were blurry at the default resolution and once I increased it they became sharp and readable. I had also increased the gpu and cpu to high. I didn't play any of those games yet to find out if my settings would make it laggy, I just wanted to test the optimiser settings. Even the home environment (where you can see your avatar in the mirror) can be improved and mine looks much better now.

All i can say, it will GET BETTER
I stopped after a while. Claw grip, given where the tracking lights are on the controllers, is never going to work well. If anything what he's really showing is how good hand tracking has come along.
I can't say I've had the issues he's had, the main two "quick" games I've done with it are pistol whip and beat saber, I've got good scores on both, including new high scores on beat saber (expert+), now I don't play the camilla tracks, but still, tracking has felt good to me.
I have noticed in walkabout golf some issues though, typically I've realised that I've had long sleeves on (hoody etc) which likely blocks the tracking light at times, it's also going to be tough to hand track, the controller tracking will be limited to a single IR light too, which will mean a lack of depth calculating options.
I liked the rings, and don't think the new design is better as such, but I can't say I've had major issues so far with tracking. Does anyone know if q2 controllers are compatible with the q3?
Underboss
apparently Q2 controllers don't work on the Q3, as i asked about it before
VR Cover and AMVR are both producing aftermarket LED tracking rings for the Q3 controllers.

I've noticed that any app or game video preview in my headset is now blank but the audio still plays. Screenshots still display too, just not the video. I've rebooted it but didn't change anything. Any idea?
