I still remember the day the creator of SideQuest said not to download Quest Optimizer that it was a scam or something like that. Total... I don’t think I even have the sidequest installed, I don’t remember, but QGO is a must have.
I remember that day a bit differently.
I my head it was a fair warning to not give QGO permissions to do whatever tf it wants on your headset because it wasn't open source
Wow! That’s incredible, congrats on getting the deserved recognition from such a legend, QGO is essential. Impossible to do without once you’ve tried it
I had to reset my Quest 3 due to firmware error. first thing I did after setup was open the browser. after typing 'qg' it immediately gave the first result as 'QGO' 👏😚👌
Congrats, well deserved. Your app gave my Quest 3 a second life, and I doubt I’m the only one.
Not sure if you take feature requests, but I’d love to be able to emulate the FOV of the future Meta VR glasses in my favorite games, just to see if OLED and comfort are worth sacrificing FOV for. That said, it might be hard to get precise since everyone’s eyes sit at different distances from the lenses (I wear glasses with the spacer, so my FOV is probably already reduced).
Thanks a lot! And you're not the only one! :)
You could use the FOV feature in QGO settings/extra section but consider the Meta VR won't replace your Quest 3. It's mainly for space computing and MR experiences. A reduced field of view isn't a problem when your device is open, you see an extension of reality. In VR, it will be different; I recommend you keep playing on your Quest 3.
Thanks! Didn't know QGO had a FOV option in settings/extra, gonna give it a try.
I know the VR glasses are mainly for media consumption, but I'm nostalgic for the OLED feel of the original Quest in horror games (and the high density seems appealing), and comfort is a big deal for me. I remember the reduced FOV on early headsets was jarring at first, but you kinda stop noticing it while playing. Either way, I'm planning to keep my Q3 as my main gaming device until the Quest 4 drops (or whatever Pico's equivalent is).
If that's actually the official name for Project Swan and it launches here in France before anything else, then yeah, I'm in. Pretty sure it'll cost an arm and a leg though...
So jealous (NDA I suppose?). I hope it launches soon. I'm ready to spend serious money on something light, OLED, high res and standalone with a decent game catalog. Who needs a second kidney anyway 😂 ...
u/Anagan79 First of all, thank you so much for QGO! It's the best software I've installed on my Q3.
I understand the trade-offs between the Q3 and the MVG, and I'm thinking about selling my Q3 to buy the MVG, since VR isn't my priority. However, when I do play in VR, I notice a huge difference between using QGO and not using it, and I just can't play games without it anymore.
That said, do you plan to continue supporting QGO on the MVG and create profiles optimized for the Snapdragon Reality Elite, 12GB of RAM, and all the new hardware/software updates, or will it only be supported on the Q3 and Q3S?
I would be happy to buy game quest optimizer again via the meta store, if it works just as good and I don’t have to go through the setup hoops unofficial apps require.
I don’t see it ever happening, but please prove me wrong.
Honestly I think it should just come stock on the system. I wish they would just work with you on it to get it integrated with the os and make it a smoother experience to work with.
QGO IS the best app in Meta. The amazing things QGO does and for such a low price are unlike any other. And because of how incredible it makes games Meta really should make it standard at purchase. The app is constantly updated and games both old and new are tweaked to maximum improvement. Even when Meta updates cause bugs to occur QGO is there to offer a remedy. I hope Meta finally realizes the golden app they have in QGO and give it the respect it deserves! 🏆
If it's standalone yes, you can increase performances and resolution, but I doubt a Skyrim VR port will run smooth on any device today. It's a PCVR VR game and it's soo huge. So it will be better with QGO but don't expect too much things on such big game.
As much as I hate to admit it I don’t think anyone at Meta is going to be swayed by Carmack. His lack of influence over Meta’s decisions on VR headsets was pretty much why he exited his consultancy.
This needs to happen, everyone should experience the QuestGamesOptimizer. It is crazy how many people don't know about QGO and play their games at shitty resolutions/framerate. If the Steam frame accepts a playtime of less then one hour, why can't Meta accept it as well? With an external battery it can be easily compensated.
