Hey all, my internet got switched off in a change over last night... terrible timing, but I will be back to stream and with more videos on Monday. Twitch: www.twitch.tv/rocketjumpninja
Rocket Jump Ninja the mouse which u have lying around are they of any use to you ? if not can we buy them from u at a lower rate or somethimg ?... products are really costly in india.. would appreciate it ty tho :D
Rocket Jump Ninja hey question for you or anyone on here with a lot of Quake experience that has also played Overwatch. I never really played PC shooters too much until recent years, I was always playing console. I started playing Overwatch and very quickly got above average M&K aim by specifically only practicing aim. However, I see that games like Quake use WAY more precision aim. Overwatch almost seems like a joke in how big the hitboxes are and how forgiving the aiming system is. Anyway so the question I have. If you or someone of equal skill has tried playing Overwatch do you find that it's extremely easy to aim? I feel like the abilities you have for Quake when swapped to OW would be outstanding.
I wish my reflexes hadn't dulled so much with getting older. I played a ton of Quake, Unreal and CS in the very early 2000's, after that I got interested in other games... And these days, every time I go back to a "real" FPS, it's like a whale trying to swim on land. My instincts are there - I do the flick shots, I do the jumps and the bounces and picking up items on the fly while shooting, and I do it without thinking, it's engraved into my mind..... EXCEPT, I'm always just a little too slow, or just a little off-aim. Just a little! The instincts are there, the actual precision to do anything with them are not x) As an older player (emphasis on *player*, not "pro" or hardcore fan), Quake Champs feels really fun, especially if they incorporate some of the common feedback. I hope it succeeds and sticks around. Who would have thunk it? A real Quake game. Literally, actually, a good Quake, in 2017. If you had told me this a few months ago I would have laughed in your face and said that's a great joke. Joke's on me.
Looking forward to the day where you're "big" enough of a RUclipsr to influence the mouse market. Edit: Btw, care to explain why you use inverted mouse settings?
im assuming it's cos that's how he played it first time. FATAL1TY uses inverted mouse as well and he said it's because he used to play alot of flight sims, which makes sense if you are using a joystick to play. probably similar story here
My reasoning was that I will be trying to shoot upwards more than downwards and pulling mouse towards me is more comfortable and I end up in better spot.
It's because some people's brains work differently. Same as sliding fingers on your smartphone to scroll on webpages. Some people think like this: "I slide my finger *downwards* , because I want to see more in the *direction* " whereas other people think like this "I slide my finger *upwards* to *push* the page up to see what's below." With mice in 3D, I imagine these people think about moving the mouse the same way as their head. They push the mouse up, therefor "forward", the same way you bend forward with your head to see what's below. They think of movement based on a round globe, rather than a flat sheet.
Hello! Thanks for the vid. Not sure if someone has told you this already, but qc shows you your horizontal fov on a 16:9 screen, while quake live shows you it on a 4:3 screen. So with that, if you want the equivalent setting of 110 in qc, you should use 126 in game. Hope this helps!
I use 3 footswitches. One for +back, one for crouch, and one to cycle through a series of chat messages. "Missed me", "Missed me again", "Do you need me to stand still" etc. The +back switch was for counterstrike and it means I can instantly cancel forward motion, cus if you just coast to a halt, you won't be accurate until you fully stop. But I guess it would work in Quake. I don't think i ever used +back in Quake anyways. :) Having crouch on a footswitchalso gives more options to select weapons and nades with your pinky, so your main movement keys always have a finger on them. The cycling chat binds...well that's just fun :D It tilts people pretty hard if you mock them as they are trying to kill you. Especially if you turn your back on them. It's not disrespectful; it's getting in their head and creating an opening you can use to unravel their fragile little minds. If I end up trying QC, I'll prolly need to find a use for that middle pedal
Man your videos are great no wonder why each time I come to the channel you have about 1k more subs. Keep it up, we noobs really appreciate all of this :D
Been playing Quake since 2004/5 (aged 5-6), really nice to see that Quake is still alive and kicking. Got my beta code yesterday and I'm hooked! Very refreshing after Quake Live lost it's touch (at least in my opinnion). I remember watching some of your videos way back when Quake Live first came out, but never got around to subscribing to you. I've since fixed that. ;) Hope to see more great content from you buddy.
Enhance pointer precision in Windows mouse settings should also be disabled, as well as any acceleration in game. Accel can be bad for consistency with aiming, though some prefer it
The FOVs in this game, at least for me, are 16:9 ratio horizontal FOVs. What we're used to is 4:3 ratio horizontal FOVs. So FOV 90 in QuakeLive or most other games = FOV 106 in Quake Champions. I play at 95 in QL so that's 112 in QC. Find a 4:3 to 16:9 conversion tool and you'll get your FOV equivalents. When it comes to sensitivity, divide your QL sens by 5 and you'll get the approximate equivalent, though better still, measure your 360 and adjust from there. The game needs a lot more customization options than it has. The lack of a proper graphics menu, real mouse configuration options, or a command console in a Quake game is inexcusable, but hopefully they'll add it at some point. I'm enjoying the game, but the lack of customization options and the speed caps on characters piss me off. Let me use the skills I have instead of restricting them. Hopefully they implement a classic mode where there are no speed caps or characters.
Thanks for this video man!!! I'm so glad I found this brilliant explanation. I'm definitely going to buy your mouse 100%, there's no way you can mess it up with this kind of ability to guide + your experience with reviewing and finding the best!
FINALLY someone else who uses RMB +Forward. And who else than a fellow Quake player. My clanmates have all been giving me shit for a long time over the RMB movement bind i use. :)
I've never played quake before and the easiest binds for me is using the standard W,A,S,D and the nearest buttons for switching weapons. like Q,E,R for Rocket, lightning, shotgung (In this order) and rail (for "finishing" a kill) on my "nearest" mouse button (mouse4 bind on a random key like C) and G for gauntlet and V for machinegun (which I mostly never switch to). I see no need to change my W,A,S,D standard setting which is in every game nowadays.. I only do need Q,E,R and mouse4 for rail gun the rest is situation-"limited"
I noticed you play Overwatch on some of your mouse reviews and was wondering what your controls are in that game? Are they just default OW controls or do you change it around to make it similar to your Quake controls?
I use mouse1 +forward, mouse2 +backward , g +left, k +right, u +moveup j +movedown and right alt to shoot q=] funny how people get innovative to create their own gamestyle and not forcing themselves to using wasd :)
I tried that and noticed it didn't make a difference for me. I went back to WASD (actually TFGH) because the reduced time to press and switch between all four movement keys wasn't there.
Using RMB for forward is pretty unusual, but I have no idea how you can use A for jump and still do strafe jumping. If you use RMB for forward I would expect you to use space for jumping. Normally those are the two options. I started playing Quake in 1996, but took a long break after Quake 3 Rocket Arena in 2006 and just got a PC and am back trying to play Quake Champions now in 2017. People are really good. I've tried Quake Live too and often don't do well, but sometimes do. I think I do best in Quake2. I was super big into Quake2 CTF (threewave) and Quake2 though.
Quake Live uses a 4:3 aspect ratio as a base to set your FOV. So if you were to play with that aspect ratio, the number you set in the options menu would translate to the exact degrees in your FOV. Playing on 16:9 however will "add more degrees" to the sides of your screen to fill in the space (where you'd have black bars when using 4:3). This results in an actual FOV of about 125 degrees. But Quake Champions uses a 16:9 aspect ratio as a base for your FOV, so using 125 as your FOV there will give you the same amount of degrees as 110 in Quake Live. TL;DR: Use 125 FOV in QC when you used 110 in QL on a 16:9 aspect ratio. Also, here's a calculator for different FOVs: www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=10c55d9db5816a847ed240e50db14a90
Hey thank you very much for this detailed video, after playing video games mainly racers for over 30 years I am just getting into Quake!! 👍🏻👍🏻 looking forward to the journey guess it’s never to late lol
Hey, my first time here, played Q3A casually, was good fun. Might wanna get into it more playing QCs. I've watched all your guides for it so far, great content! Thanks!
Someone else having problems with very long loading times? QC needs like 5 min to start into the main menu and joining/leaving takes also a decade.... I tried one fix I found, but it didnt worked for me, therefore I cant enjoy QC as I want :(
Ir0nPow3r i have load times upwards of around a minute but i have the game on an ssd and the only long load times are the ones back to the main menu otherwose the map loads fast
I also installed it on my ssd, my cpu is xeon1231-3 and GPU is r9 380. I put all graphical setting to low cause I want to make use of my 144hz freesync screen (actually getting around 110 fps). But I'll try rising the priority and shutting down antivirus
As odd as this sounds - even if all other graphic settings are set to Low - try setting Shadows and Details to Ultra. Seems to help Loading. Hope it helps!
Just got my Beta key yesterday and doing pretty well with roughly the same sensitivity settings I use for CSGO, maybe adding a little. Main things are you need to be able to re-adjust fast with your flicks and track easily with wrist movement.
110 FOV in Quake Live should be 124.59 Actual FOV, just in case you are wondering. Thats why it seems so slow when in case ranger moves at exactly the same speed. And as far as i know Quake Champions uses Actual FOV as measurement or else 140 FOV would look even more warped.
Hi RJN. Would you consider reviewing a Fnatic Boost mousepad? I find that there aren't very many hard pads on the market, especially around 40 cm size, and Fnatic ones are also cheaper compared to other hard pads that I've seen.
I play since 98 and I look at your videos your good ,nice job keep it up. I had 1st razer boomslang ,it got to old I think 1999 now I got razer naga 2012 I still use arrow keys lol and going on 50yrs old and Carpenter I got my fingers cut off that why I use the 12 buttons on the mouse button's love your videos information and I'm old school q2 days .lots of respect man.
what mouse do you use personally i have 12 mice but i found final moise to be the best i dont have zowie is it worth getting over final mouse? thank you for reply in advance
AFAIK input lag has absolutely nothing to do with the ratio of fps to your monitor refresh it's all about raw fps count, try lowering all your settings and get your raw fps over a 100 and see what happens to your input. If it helps then alter settings until you find a happy spot between graphics and input feel. Quake 3/Live really feels so damn responsive because usually your fps is really freaking high due to the game being visually primitive.
actually sounds very logical. Sadly I am already at lowest settings and have limited to the average. And the thing is, that when I have 80 fps in CS:GO (capped) then it still feels much much better, so I think there must be something going wrong with QC input at lower fps in general or how it works with me system. Maybe I will contact Bethesda for this.
Hi boss im planning to buy fk2 or g304/g305 what do you think should i get? Im planning on using it on csgo and 1600dpi what hz do you recommend on fk2?
Hey i'm playin Ql for 2 years now (and i'm still bad haha ) and i've tried out QC. Problem is , i can't really play it cause my pc isn't optimized for video games , do you have any tips to increase my fps rate ? I need the graphics quality to be lower than what you can get in the menus.
Question.. The 28cm 360 degrees on the moïse you have, on which dpi setting was that? What is your screen resolution? Mine takes 5 cm for 1600 dpi... Also, on the paid version of quake there are many more mouse options, can you please do an updates video with those? Mouse sensitivity is set to 5 by default.. On your video it was 0.18.
Hi, I'd like to ask for help. I can not get over 100FPS because my CPU is stuck at 95% all the time (i5 6500) while the graphics card(gtx 1060 5gb) is just at 30%, lowest settings except resolution (scaling). I tried everything I found online, but nothing was able to remove the bottleneck. Do you know about anything I might try? I actually wanted to get a 144Hz monitor for this game but since I discovered that I can't even get that many frames I don't even need to bother.
Hey Zy, sorry for the OT, just a question: Can a Rival 100 track well on this? www.trust.com/it/product/20819-gxt-209-xxxl-mouse-pad bought this in december, and didn't want to change it so early, because it's nice and veery big. Although, i've only used it on a cheapo gxt 152 mouse, that stops tracking when you do fast flicks, for that reason I wanna change it for a Rival 100. Cheers!
So i notice my wireless mouse, has a lazer pointer that unlike other mouses i have had. It's on the far left not the middle. I've been wondering if this is the reason i cant flick 180 like you can.
@rocket jump ninja , what are your thoughts on Roccat Leadr?! wireless gaming mouse! :) i currently have Logitech g900 but the scroll wheel have broken on 2 of them this is my third.. i want to return it and get a Roccat leadr but i wanna hear your thoughts first! :) Tyvm
hey bro..i yesterday got a key and when i started the game i didnt get any platinum currency and i dont want to RENT characters..i only want to buy nyx.. what to do???
hey zy. i download the game and when i start to installation, microsoft visual cc began to install and then microsoft installer got stuck at the end and i canceled it. now i cant get into game. when i press play it says checking running and open a new black screen then black screen closing immediately. any idea?
I just started playing this game yesterday (played some Q3 on LAN parties back in the day), and seem to mostly win or get top 3 in team DM, but the Duel mode is really hard. Seems like all the Quake veterans gather there, it's like a whole other league. Can you make a video on how to play Duel mode like the veterans? :)
It makes no sense in windows, but if you had even slightest bit of experience with camera on a tripod you would know that it is quite obvious. And in fpp game you are looking through a camera on a "tripod".
There are more mouse settings now like acceleration, yaw, and filtering. An update explaining those would be helpful.For the life of me I cannot find a setting that lets me aim precisely without it being too slow while being fast enough for movement without overshooting constantly.
If you want your FOV to be the same as it was in quake live you need to know that this game uses your aspect ratio (16:9) as base while quake live used 4:3 as base the same as lets say csgo. You can you use the mouse-sensitivity website to convert it by choosing the game quake live and inputting your FOV and then checking what is you actural HFOV down bellow and setting that in champions. Some conversions: 90-106 100-116 110-125
do you know if there will be more performance optimization for the game? i get like 80fps in average, but i still feel some micro stutters and occasional micro-freezes....
So I got into the beta got the game downloaded, but my graphics card is not the best it is decent I think its a radeon hd7600m not 100% sure not at home to check at the moment and I have a quad core i7. When I hit start game it begins running a black screen pops up then disapears quickly. After a couple tries it says it was not able to finish the initial setup, but ive reinstalled it several times and was careful to make sure everything is installed correctly. So I am not sure if it is just I need better hardware or an error with the game or launcher.
thank you so much! I improved a lot kills, and control, the setting feel so amazing. Is there still people playing quake 3(promode or Orange smoothie)? Because i dont like in Q-champions i can't chose intagib
Dude! inverted with mouse2=forward! I wonder if it's the same reason why I did it.... Back in the days of 56k dial up duels in Doom, too many keys on the keyboard meant that the last key you pressed wouldn't work... so I freed up a key by going mouse2=forward. Inverted b/c of mouse sensitivity. I get a LOT of shit for this. You?
Whats the disadvantage of using higher fov? I almost always crank fov to max. I dont even notice visual distortion but does it affect aiming in anyway?
Just like Titanfall 2 then, it's Vital to do all these movement. Wall running, Wall jumping, Sliding and even Bunny Hopping in Titanfall 2 is very important.
I just switched from my deathadder to my naga to see if the number pad would help with switching weapons. I figured a big MMO mouse with a laser sensor would hurt my K/D, but since the switch Ive been in the top 3 in most of my matches.
Hey all, my internet got switched off in a change over last night... terrible timing, but I will be back to stream and with more videos on Monday. Twitch: www.twitch.tv/rocketjumpninja
Why is almost everything you use Zowie? Are you sponsored by them or something?
Rocket Jump Ninja the mouse which u have lying around are they of any use to you ? if not can we buy them from u at a lower rate or somethimg ?... products are really costly in india.. would appreciate it
ty tho :D
Because they are good?
Your settings are weird.

Inverted mouse and non wsad... mind blown. Respect for your skill.

stfu
What you gonna do about it?
Oh dear. I'm very offended. Got a problem?
Just keep at it man. You'll be back in no time
How old are you now then ?
Zy is officially the WarOwl of Quake now.
Looking forward to the day where you're "big" enough of a RUclipsr to influence the mouse market.

That might be true for some but I made a choice after playing with no invert for years. Sometimes it's more like qwerty vs colemak.
Bubber Ducky in 1998 the standard mouse movement was inverted
wouldn't be a Quake video if the player didn't mention how long he has played Quake for.
Hello! Thanks for the vid. Not sure if someone has told you this already, but qc shows you your horizontal fov on a 16:9 screen, while quake live shows you it on a 4:3 screen. So with that, if you want the equivalent setting of 110 in qc, you should use 126 in game. Hope this helps!
The Bethesda Launcher is probably the shittiest launcher I ever encountered...
this is why i love Steam and i only buy games there. There is no problem like you said, it is secured and i got my game library inside.
I mean... Steam is just another shitty launcher, which just happens to be the largest one and the one you are already the most invested in.
GOG shall be our saviour.
Now I have 6 launcher in my taskbar.. :D
Microsoft Live is still worse, wayyy worse lol
I use 3 footswitches. One for +back, one for crouch, and one to cycle through a series of chat messages. "Missed me", "Missed me again", "Do you need me to stand still" etc. The +back switch was for counterstrike and it means I can instantly cancel forward motion, cus if you just coast to a halt, you won't be accurate until you fully stop. But I guess it would work in Quake. I don't think i ever used +back in Quake anyways. :) Having crouch on a footswitchalso gives more options to select weapons and nades with your pinky, so your main movement keys always have a finger on them.
The cycling chat binds...well that's just fun :D It tilts people pretty hard if you mock them as they are trying to kill you. Especially if you turn your back on them. It's not disrespectful; it's getting in their head and creating an opening you can use to unravel their fragile little minds.
If I end up trying QC, I'll prolly need to find a use for that middle pedal
you are the reason I play quake dude
Awesome!
I don't play quake, own a console, but seen a few of your vids. Great work spreading a positive message
Man your videos are great no wonder why each time I come to the channel you have about 1k more subs. Keep it up, we noobs really appreciate all of this :D

Yes keep up the videos! Also the dev need to add a training mode of some sorts in the game as I cannot practice strafe jumping during online games...
Use the Warm Up time to practice moving around the map :)
there will obviously be private matches etc. (if the game doesnt want to kill itself immediately)
Finally got invited into the game last night and had a blast, and your videos were really helpful to get me started!
The simplicity of Quake is what makes it a great game in my opinion! Love this kind of shooter.
Still using the old school M2 to run forward, what a dad you are to quake gamers everywhere.
That is one crazy control scheme you use.
Man, I was born on 5th October 1998. you are a true champion😂
FINALLY someone else who uses RMB +Forward. And who else than a fellow Quake player. My clanmates have all been giving me shit for a long time over the RMB movement bind i use. :)

I +forward with mousebutton too since day one and SDF instead of ASD. I'm happy to finally, after 18 years, to meet someone who also uses mouse 😀
thank you! this is my first quake game ive played. i realy enjoy it but i would love to get better and understand it more and this helps a lot!
I noticed you play Overwatch on some of your mouse reviews and was wondering what your controls are in that game? Are they just default OW controls or do you change it around to make it similar to your Quake controls?
Yessss I can't wait to be a part of this community I'm so happy nda is lifted this game is awesome
wow, and I thought I was the only person in the world that uses RMB for move forward.
It's a ninja thing, clearly.
I use mouse1 +forward, mouse2 +backward , g +left, k +right, u +moveup j +movedown and right alt to shoot q=] funny how people get innovative to create their own gamestyle and not forcing themselves to using wasd :)
I tried that and noticed it didn't make a difference for me. I went back to WASD (actually TFGH) because the reduced time to press and switch between all four movement keys wasn't there.
nah my buddy uses rmb for forward for like 20 years in all type of games.

Super excited to dive into the beta, now that my exams are done. Will be looking forward to more tutorials!
Hey thank you very much for this detailed video, after playing video games mainly racers for over 30 years I am just getting into Quake!! 👍🏻👍🏻 looking forward to the journey guess it’s never to late lol
Hey, my first time here, played Q3A casually, was good fun. Might wanna get into it more playing QCs. I've watched all your guides for it so far, great content! Thanks!
Hi Rocket! You make some very good guides, dude! =D
Could you please upload another one like this, with explanations about the updated settings?
Do you still at 1600 dpi like in QL? (the 2016 video about mouse sens). Also did you change something, since we have more option in QC now with mouse.
Hey Ninja, just curious: have you played any of the new Unreal Tournament? If so, what are your thoughts on it?
Someone else having problems with very long loading times? QC needs like 5 min to start into the main menu and joining/leaving takes also a decade....
I tried one fix I found, but it didnt worked for me, therefore I cant enjoy QC as I want :(
Lowering texture resolution helps. Also setting higher priority for a game in task manager may help too. Shutting down antivirus will help.
Ir0nPow3r i have load times upwards of around a minute but i have the game on an ssd and the only long load times are the ones back to the main menu otherwose the map loads fast
I also installed it on my ssd, my cpu is xeon1231-3 and GPU is r9 380. I put all graphical setting to low cause I want to make use of my 144hz freesync screen (actually getting around 110 fps).
But I'll try rising the priority and shutting down antivirus
I have NVMe samsung 960 evo. Everything loads quite fast
As odd as this sounds - even if all other graphic settings are set to Low - try setting Shadows and Details to Ultra. Seems to help Loading. Hope it helps!
I still use right mouse button to go forward too. I like how pressing the button keeps the mouse balanced and controlled
Just got my Beta key yesterday and doing pretty well with roughly the same sensitivity settings I use for CSGO, maybe adding a little. Main things are you need to be able to re-adjust fast with your flicks and track easily with wrist movement.
110 FOV in Quake Live should be 124.59 Actual FOV, just in case you are wondering. Thats why it seems so slow when in case ranger moves at exactly the same speed.
And as far as i know Quake Champions uses Actual FOV as measurement or else 140 FOV would look even more warped.
Quake is life bro! I've been around quake games and game engine for 10+ years too :)
I agree on the fov. I have it set at 115- might go to 120 in the future. No more than that, though.
what do you recommend when it comes to keyboards for quake? thanks and happy new years.
Hi RJN. Would you consider reviewing a Fnatic Boost mousepad? I find that there aren't very many hard pads on the market, especially around 40 cm size, and Fnatic ones are also cheaper compared to other hard pads that I've seen.
What measurements should we take if we want to use a joystick?
I play since 98 and I look at your videos your good ,nice job keep it up. I had 1st razer boomslang ,it got to old I think 1999 now I got razer naga 2012 I still use arrow keys lol and going on 50yrs old and Carpenter I got my fingers cut off that why I use the 12 buttons on the mouse button's love your videos information and I'm old school q2 days .lots of respect man.
what mouse do you use personally i have 12 mice but i found final moise to be the best i dont have zowie is it worth getting over final mouse? thank you for reply in advance
I get 80fps which should be fine on 60hz monitor, but there is a very noticeably input lag.. Is there anything I can do and why is this?
SaltLord If possible, try limiting your fps to your refresh rate. It usually works most of the time :D
SaltLord make sure v-sync is off
vsync is off
AFAIK input lag has absolutely nothing to do with the ratio of fps to your monitor refresh it's all about raw fps count, try lowering all your settings and get your raw fps over a 100 and see what happens to your input. If it helps then alter settings until you find a happy spot between graphics and input feel. Quake 3/Live really feels so damn responsive because usually your fps is really freaking high due to the game being visually primitive.
actually sounds very logical. Sadly I am already at lowest settings and have limited to the average. And the thing is, that when I have 80 fps in CS:GO (capped) then it still feels much much better, so I think there must be something going wrong with QC input at lower fps in general or how it works with me system. Maybe I will contact Bethesda for this.
HI what is You sens now ? for up date ?
thumb can be used for x c v b and n while also pressing space so ye it can be used for something else to free up other fingers
Would you consider doing some coaching style videos? The type where you watch someones gameplay and go over what things they could be doing better.
Hi boss im planning to buy fk2 or g304/g305 what do you think should i get? Im planning on using it on csgo and 1600dpi what hz do you recommend on fk2?
How much FPS do you get with this setup and settings in QC? Say on open areas like Quad at Burial chamber with 8 people in?
Hey i'm playin Ql for 2 years now (and i'm still bad haha ) and i've tried out QC.
Problem is , i can't really play it cause my pc isn't optimized for video games , do you have any tips to increase my fps rate ? I need the graphics quality to be lower than what you can get in the menus.
I just need to know which mousepad you used in the logitech g203 mouse video ????
Question.. The 28cm 360 degrees on the moïse you have, on which dpi setting was that? What is your screen resolution? Mine takes 5 cm for 1600 dpi...
Also, on the paid version of quake there are many more mouse options, can you please do an updates video with those? Mouse sensitivity is set to 5 by default.. On your video it was 0.18.

Awesome video Zy! Keep it going
Hey Ninja. Have you tried the hyperx pulsefire FPS mouse. Heard it should be good.
hi zy, how about headset, which wireless headset is your main now?
wait wait wait wait inverted mouse means you swipe right and look left? is this correct?
Hi, I'd like to ask for help. I can not get over 100FPS because my CPU is stuck at 95% all the time (i5 6500) while the graphics card(gtx 1060 5gb) is just at 30%, lowest settings except resolution (scaling). I tried everything I found online, but nothing was able to remove the bottleneck. Do you know about anything I might try? I actually wanted to get a 144Hz monitor for this game but since I discovered that I can't even get that many frames I don't even need to bother.
should i play only with the new config or i can play normaly when i play other games like csgo
?
Hey, can you do Logitech g102 vs mionix castor please because they are the same price on UK amazon and I don't know what to get :P
i'm your age and i've played doom2, net quake, qw, ra3, and i also use invert mouse and rmb for forward, we are a rare bread :D
hey zy, i want to buy a deathadder elite but i don't know what mouse pad to buy, can you tell me what's the best mouse pad for the mouse?
Hey Zy, sorry for the OT, just a question:
Can a Rival 100 track well on this? www.trust.com/it/product/20819-gxt-209-xxxl-mouse-pad
bought this in december, and didn't want to change it so early, because it's nice and veery big. Although, i've only used it on a cheapo gxt 152 mouse, that stops tracking when you do fast flicks, for that reason I wanna change it for a Rival 100.
Cheers!
So i notice my wireless mouse, has a lazer pointer that unlike other mouses i have had. It's on the far left not the middle. I've been wondering if this is the reason i cant flick 180 like you can.
@rocket jump ninja , what are your thoughts on Roccat Leadr?! wireless gaming mouse! :) i currently have Logitech g900 but the scroll wheel have broken on 2 of them this is my third.. i want to return it and get a Roccat leadr but i wanna hear your thoughts first! :) Tyvm
hi there. can you tell me please what is horizontal fov? thx for the answer (btw very good work with your channel ;) ) greetings
hey bro..i yesterday got a key and when i started the game i didnt get any platinum currency and i dont want to RENT characters..i only want to buy nyx.. what to do???
hey zy. i download the game and when i start to installation, microsoft visual cc began to install and then microsoft installer got stuck at the end and i canceled it. now i cant get into game. when i press play it says checking running and open a new black screen then black screen closing immediately. any idea?
I would love to see a video on mouse grips from you
0:51 What issues do laser sensors have? How are normal optical ones better?
Wow, man! You're using RMB+SDF! Just like me! Let's hug!
would you want the settings on the lowest possible to get as much fps as possible like in for example csgo?
I just started playing this game yesterday (played some Q3 on LAN parties back in the day), and seem to mostly win or get top 3 in team DM, but the Duel mode is really hard. Seems like all the Quake veterans gather there, it's like a whole other league. Can you make a video on how to play Duel mode like the veterans? :)
Razer lancehead tournament edition any thoughts?
Why does the lightning gun stop firing when I shoot it? Like an inconsistent burst rifle?
It's a bug... it's still firing, just can't see it. They have heaps of stuff to fix.
figured
invert mouse??
yes
Works for him, wont work for you at all, so don't try to copy it.
It makes no sense in windows, but if you had even slightest bit of experience with camera on a tripod you would know that it is quite obvious. And in fpp game you are looking through a camera on a "tripod".
I think in the past the games had inverted camera on by default. He probably adjusted back then, so there's no reason to go back
you are shocked about inverted mouse when he uses RMB for moving forward? O_o
Hi Zy ,what do you say about the SS rival gaming mouse?
There are more mouse settings now like acceleration, yaw, and filtering. An update explaining those would be helpful.For the life of me I cannot find a setting that lets me aim precisely without it being too slow while being fast enough for movement without overshooting constantly.
Wow why do you use inverted mouse ?
because he got used to it
If you want your FOV to be the same as it was in quake live you need to know that this game uses your aspect ratio (16:9) as base while quake live used 4:3 as base the same as lets say csgo. You can you use the mouse-sensitivity website to convert it by choosing the game quake live and inputting your FOV and then checking what is you actural HFOV down bellow and setting that in champions.
Some conversions:
90-106
100-116
110-125
pcb222 pcb222 well in theory if you play quake champions in 4:3 the fov should be the same as in live but i doubt most people will do that
do you know if there will be more performance optimization for the game? i get like 80fps in average, but i still feel some micro stutters and occasional micro-freezes....
put all on the lowest.
So I got into the beta got the game downloaded, but my graphics card is not the best it is decent I think its a radeon hd7600m not 100% sure not at home to check at the moment and I have a quad core i7. When I hit start game it begins running a black screen pops up then disapears quickly. After a couple tries it says it was not able to finish the initial setup, but ive reinstalled it several times and was careful to make sure everything is installed correctly. So I am not sure if it is just I need better hardware or an error with the game or launcher.
Is it possible to disable damage number that floats on the screen after hitting an enemy?
thank you so much! I improved a lot kills, and control, the setting feel so amazing. Is there still people playing quake 3(promode or Orange smoothie)? Because i dont like in Q-champions i can't chose intagib
Dude! inverted with mouse2=forward! I wonder if it's the same reason why I did it.... Back in the days of 56k dial up duels in Doom, too many keys on the keyboard meant that the last key you pressed wouldn't work... so I freed up a key by going mouse2=forward. Inverted b/c of mouse sensitivity.
I get a LOT of shit for this. You?
Whats the disadvantage of using higher fov? I almost always crank fov to max. I dont even notice visual distortion but does it affect aiming in anyway?
WiSpKing the higher the fov the smaller everything on your screen gets
+1 to RMB for +forward! :) I had it like that for the last 20 years or so in all FPS.
yo Zy. you should make a discord server. i think it would be nice. (if u need help making one u can ask me or anyone)
These key bindings... daaaamn 🙃
When will u do the review on the razer lancehead tournament? :(
Suka blyad, opredelenno like, i ochen davno searched this video, big spasibo
Just like Titanfall 2 then, it's Vital to do all these movement. Wall running, Wall jumping, Sliding and even Bunny Hopping in Titanfall 2 is very important.
You should consider trying out a vertical mouse, that sounds interesting.
I just switched from my deathadder to my naga to see if the number pad would help with switching weapons. I figured a big MMO mouse with a laser sensor would hurt my K/D, but since the switch Ive been in the top 3 in most of my matches.
Not sure if this was asked before but how's the netcode for AUS?
stay away from laser sensors, but why?
I also move with the mouse and shoot with the keyboard
Luis Mediavilla Because the laser sensors have a lot of flaws optical one doesnt get
I am really impressed about that comment because most gaming mice are laser
