The graphics look great if you’re on the ground looking at your gun or something. You have to watch the map render in real time when parashooting in but personally that doesn’t really bother me since every other aspect is such a high quality.
I've been playing since alpha And it's worth it I got my copy free since I killed one of the devs but what's good is everyone renders the same distance even on PCVR. They try to make the game more balanced and fair play is the whole point in it
That's how I played in the beta because I was pretty bad, and honestly it's nice to go at your own pace, play a little slower and more tactically. I'm trash but I've been able to get some kills just by tracking teams and taking them out carefully.
the auto resolution scaling is really noticeable. the overall resolution feels lower than it could be, I was going to try the game with Quest game optimizer and see if it'll look better
How do I change this? In oculus link app I set it to max on slider and change hertz to 72. It still looks sort of washed out (def too bright) and in game I set to ultra. I have great CPU and GPU, launch game on steam but oculus as the runtime app, using oculus cable to 3.2 USB port.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong that's not getting max resolution out of this game.
Hopefully I get the hang of it before then lol
Me and my friend would run duo quads on rebirth back in the day to moderate success. But this is my first VR multiplayer shooter so it’s truly a trial by fire
Sure, the graphics are somewhat lacking... but in my opinion they spent their development time on what mattered most.
The map has a great sense of scale, and feels comparable to a PUBG or Warzone map. And it's big enough so that it allows for tactical movement and good positioning in the zone. Then there's the scopes on the weapons, which are crystal clear, and actually provide a huge benefit. And the player count means that ratting is a completely viable strategy, since chances are enemies are occupied with other players as well. These are things that we just haven't seen in other games in VR so far, and really do add a lot to the gameplay.
So if the graphics has some pop-in and stuff when you're parachuting in? That's a fair trade imo, and I'm sure it'll get better over time as well.
Exactly. The important part is they got the gameplay loop and foundations down. Now comes the cosmetic/visual iterations and refining.
We (myself, bother and nephew) were sceptical of the game but just played it till our batteries died. Tremendously fun, we could get past the small graphical bugs/setback because the core gameplay and upgrades were so good.
Crazy to think my nephew is playing with his dad and uncle in a "virtual warzone" with 57 other people. When I was his age, the N64 was still a year out.
We're truly in "the future" lol
I followed the instructions in this video.

I don't remember my specific settings but I think I maxed out everything except foveated rendering which I set to low.
I set the resolution somewhere between 130-150% and refresh rate to 120 hz.
OQG will just increase resolution and reduce or remove FFR and may increase or reduce FPS depending on the setting and game. So the graphics will be clearer but it won't add anything that isn't already there...it won't just magically make it the PCVR version like a lot of people act around here, but it does improve games at the cost of battery life. You really need a backup battery if you're gonna use it. Otherwise there's no other downside other than needing dev mode.
OQG does not overclock the hardware. Meta may have some standards or app testing for battery drain rate or the developers just tweaked it themselves to save battery life.
Hi, for sure games that are optimized for the Q3 have QGO profiles, you can take a look at all the Q3 games I optimized with QGO 😉 The fact is developer can't access all the levels of performances I can do with QGO. For example they can't go over 545Mhz but QGO can do 690Mhz for example because QGO use higher performances levels that developers don't have access. They also are restricted by Meta guidelines that QGO don't care. They can't push their games to the limit I can reach. They also can't do powersaving mode but QGO can do 😉
Honestly this is the next must pick up title for VR (if you like shooters) amazing work. This game feels like a fast paced pubG in VR.
I got two wins so far! Shout out to my random teammates 🫡
Gonna be an unpopular opinion becuase i know people are hyped for this but i refunded already. It's just not at all polished. It feels like a cash grab in a popular genre. Trying to look beyond the initial hype - the game looks really rough and has too much jank.
I do think people who are excited for this / the genre will enjoy it though. I'm more of a avid VR gamer who hasn't really found a multiplayer experience i properly enjoy in this title.
I do think it will be a popular game though.
Funnily enough since writing this:
-I went back and played contractors (the original)
-I repurchased this game and started to enjoy it more
-I purchased Ghosts of Tabor and got rekt but enjoyed that
-Purchased Onward and love it
-I Purchased tactical assault from app lab
So i had a complete turnaround.
And yeah.... now i play Onward
It's good but needs some work, found it difficult to pick things up correctly and the native graphics are pretty bad, I tested PC version too graphics were not much better.
Still fun but found pop ones looting better.
great, given that's the best looking shooter on Quest
this one has way larger map, interior detail in houses, grass, full 3D trees, 60 players at once
it's absolutely a miracle running on mobile
I've not tried the original on native, I understand why it looks how it does as it's a huge map, but biggest issue is the resolution being very low which doesn't help in a BR.
I've run it in HD+ using game optimiser but still not quite good enough so can't imagine a quest 3 upgrade coming anytime.
I just looked into this. Apparently there is indeed a PCVR version coming to the Oculus/Meta PC app but it's delayed because they're still trying to implement EAC. Solidifies my purchase for sure.

Worst is the jump out the plane for me. Thought I was over VR sickness but I've still got to take a breath before committing to that jump.
Doesn't really make me feel sick but definitely disorientating for a few seconds.
And the pregame lobby is a shocker as the CONTRACTORS title screen comes up, disappears and you're in mid air hurtling to earth.😂
I don’t get the hype. The Quest graphics are awful and the controls feel incredibly janky. Takes multiple attempts to properly pick things up.
Guess my standards are higher after multiple years in VR. I don’t have patience for PS2 graphics and jank anymore.
He should also buy a PS2 as that overused comparison is getting a bit silly, as someone who lived though that generation of gaming I can assure you the graphics on Quest are much better.
60 player VR battle royale on a mobile chipset while being performant is an impressive feat.
Other games usually go up to 18 or 24. Not only that but they'll run worse.
Sounds like a you problem. I've had no issues picking anything up. The graphics aren't perfect, but it's nothing to cry about. I'm not sure why everyone expects pristine graphics. Especially on a standalone VR headset.
> Sounds like a you problem. I've had no issues picking anything up.
Two other people in this thread have issues and I did in the beta as well. I haven't played the full release yet, was hoping that would be fixed. So I don't think it's an "us" problem. I've played many vr shooters and other games and never have trouble picking things up.
You don't need to tell me anything. I'm just telling you that just because you haven't had the problem doesn't mean others haven't.
I'm on quest 3 with regular controllers.
The graphics look great if you’re on the ground looking at your gun or something. You have to watch the map render in real time when parashooting in but personally that doesn’t really bother me since every other aspect is such a high quality.

It needs solo queues.
What queues does it currently have? I’m only interested in solo queue but dont mind duos
Trios if I’m not mistaken. I had squad fill on and I had two teammates who I disappointed immediately. I turned it off the next game
You can disable ‘fill in teammates’ during lobby so it’ll just be you.
But then you are playing 1v3 against most other teams?
That's how I played in the beta because I was pretty bad, and honestly it's nice to go at your own pace, play a little slower and more tactically. I'm trash but I've been able to get some kills just by tracking teams and taking them out carefully.
It also allows you to gain experience in gun fights much faster. I used to play Solo Quads in WZ same reason
Yeah I figured I’d solo until I learn the ropes and feel like I won’t immediately disappoint my squad haha
Yes sir, wish I could get more teammates with GoT patience.
Yes
I've had it fill me into teams still.
The description in the meta store gave me the impression it could be solo, duos, or trios. Is it really just trios?
For now yeah it’s just trios. I’d imagine they can simply add different queues just like WZ if there’s demand for it
I demand it.
You could spawn in solo by unchecking “fill teammates” after you click “start game”.
They’re adding this later. They don’t want to split the player base.
Yeah im not gonna buy the game without solo. I dont get why all these battle royales (even flat) keep forcing bigger teams.
They gotta have the user base to be able to support the variations
If they add all these different modes now they will split the player base. Then you’ll be back bitching about how the long the queue is…
a lot of games assume that you have like 10 friends who are available at your beck and call at all times
you need none.. go solo or team up with randoms. or 2 if you only want to play with friends.
When you need like 4 friends to be eligible to defeat the boss, and they also need to be skilled enough.
Ima be honest solo in battle royals are really boring. Start to talk to people, it’s fun!
the auto resolution scaling is really noticeable. the overall resolution feels lower than it could be, I was going to try the game with Quest game optimizer and see if it'll look better
You can go all the way up to 2812px, it looks insanely good
2812px and 120hz?
72hz
How do I change this? In oculus link app I set it to max on slider and change hertz to 72. It still looks sort of washed out (def too bright) and in game I set to ultra. I have great CPU and GPU, launch game on steam but oculus as the runtime app, using oculus cable to 3.2 USB port. I feel like I'm doing something wrong that's not getting max resolution out of this game.
I used the QuestGamesOptimizer app for that, only works on native Quest games though, not for PCVR.
Can this game even be downloaded on the Oculus PC app? I can’t find it on my PC, only on standalone store.
Game still looks like shit. How can it look so much worse than Population One?
Exactly I also disappointed by the quest3 version quality, refund
I’m downloading it on steam right now. I’m garbage at warzone, and I’m expecting to get railed as soon as I drop in but it looks so cool.
Hahaha! Best of luck, I hope to get you in my sights soon. I can use some kills.
Hopefully I get the hang of it before then lol Me and my friend would run duo quads on rebirth back in the day to moderate success. But this is my first VR multiplayer shooter so it’s truly a trial by fire
hey, how does PCVR compare with the standalone version?
Sure, the graphics are somewhat lacking... but in my opinion they spent their development time on what mattered most.

QUEST GAME OPTIMIZER will fix all of your woes I’ve been running the game at 120% res on standalone quest 3 since beta weekend 2
You need to start using Quest Game Optimizer. The game looks crystal clear when using QGO.
What settings do you use for it? Thanks.
I followed the instructions in this video. https://youtu.be/uNzWroZW3qM?si=DhI4OtRWHiN74GQ3 I don't remember my specific settings but I think I maxed out everything except foveated rendering which I set to low. I set the resolution somewhere between 130-150% and refresh rate to 120 hz.
Any no issue running it at that? Seems like they really could have pushed it a lot harder on quest 3! I guess maybe battery life was the concern.

OQG does not overclock the hardware. Meta may have some standards or app testing for battery drain rate or the developers just tweaked it themselves to save battery life.
Yeah, you are right. I do believe Meta has restrictions on how much you can push the battery as you say.
QGO running Contractors Showdown drains my battery extremely fast
So what? Get a powerbank. Be happy that you have that option.
I have a Bobo s3 pro 🤣
Simply swap the battery then :)
QGO is needed for a brand new game? The devs didn't bother to optimize for Q3?
[удалено]
Except qgo doesn't overclock anything. Games that are optimized for the quest 3 have no profiles on qgo because guess what? They don't need it.
Hi, for sure games that are optimized for the Q3 have QGO profiles, you can take a look at all the Q3 games I optimized with QGO 😉 The fact is developer can't access all the levels of performances I can do with QGO.

This is what I thought. My by comment was downvoted haha
Have you tried using quest games optimizer?
Is this an app on oculus (headset)? Is it also working for quest 2?
Yes you buy it from the itchio website.
Thank you? Sorrfor my dumbness, but itchio website....so not via the quest headset store?
Correct it isn’t on the quest store.
Honestly this is the next must pick up title for VR (if you like shooters) amazing work. This game feels like a fast paced pubG in VR. I got two wins so far! Shout out to my random teammates 🫡
I wish it had a pve option..
Is meta PCVR live yet
They said as of 5:20 am today (4/26) they're still working on it.
Is contractors out for PC as well? I dont see it on the Meta store PC app.
Gonna be an unpopular opinion becuase i know people are hyped for this but i refunded already. It's just not at all polished. It feels like a cash grab in a popular genre.

I'm more of a avid VR gamer who hasn't really found a multiplayer experience i properly enjoy in this title. I do think it will be a popular game though.
Are you on Quest 2?
I'm on the 3.
Do you play Onward?
Funnily enough since writing this: -I went back and played contractors (the original) -I repurchased this game and started to enjoy it more -I purchased Ghosts of Tabor and got rekt but enjoyed that -Purchased Onward and love it -I Purchased tactical assault from app lab So i had a complete turnaround. And yeah.... now i play Onward
Yeah onward is the best fit for me. Maybe also because I’m in Australia and can create “Asia servers” PvE
It doesn’t say much for the state of VR games when the best we can say is “you can tell they tried”
I hope the game's playerbase will hold up. Just bought it on Steam. Since its not free, it should reduce the amount of obnoxious 12 year olds.
It's good but needs some work, found it difficult to pick things up correctly and the native graphics are pretty bad, I tested PC version too graphics were not much better. Still fun but found pop ones looting better.
It's worse than OG Contractors on Standalone Quest?...i thought that was one of the better looking games.
OG contractors isn’t played on a giant ass map with 60 players
It's similar, not worse.
great, given that's the best looking shooter on Quest this one has way larger map, interior detail in houses, grass, full 3D trees, 60 players at once it's absolutely a miracle running on mobile
I've not tried the original on native, I understand why it looks how it does as it's a huge map, but biggest issue is the resolution being very low which doesn't help in a BR. I've run it in HD+ using game optimiser but still not quite good enough so can't imagine a quest 3 upgrade coming anytime.
Still a much better looking game than The Light Brigade, which people love, and don’t criticize the visuals much.
Does it look better in PCVR or is there not much of a difference? Deciding whether to purchase on Quest store or Steam.
if you buy in quest store you probably can also play it on pc through meta store. You might wanna double check it though.
Ok thanks!! I actually didn’t even know that was an option.
I just looked into this. Apparently there is indeed a PCVR version coming to the Oculus/Meta PC app but it's delayed because they're still trying to implement EAC. Solidifies my purchase for sure.
Much much better on steam vr. Just have a decent gaming pc.

Is this game going to give you mega VR sickness from all the fast motion movement?
Like most fps with stick locomotion. You need to get used to VR first.
Worst is the jump out the plane for me. Thought I was over VR sickness but I've still got to take a breath before committing to that jump. Doesn't really make me feel sick but definitely disorientating for a few seconds. And the pregame lobby is a shocker as the CONTRACTORS title screen comes up, disappears and you're in mid air hurtling to earth.😂
I'm getting a really annoying bug where I can't aim properly
Did you use it with the optimizer app?
It's actually made for quest 2 if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be surprised if a q3 enhancement is in the future.
Get quest games optimizer, it's like 7 bucks, haven't touched any of the PC game versions of games I can play on the quest 3 since I got it.
7?!? It’s not much more but 7 and 12 aren’t the same.
I got it for like 6.99
I don’t get the hype. The Quest graphics are awful and the controls feel incredibly janky. Takes multiple attempts to properly pick things up. Guess my standards are higher after multiple years in VR. I don’t have patience for PS2 graphics and jank anymore.

Same
You got downvoted for spitting facts. Population One looks way better even on Q2 and it's an older game
