Huh, that's weird, I haven't run into anything like that in my testing but I'll play a match tonight to see if I can replicate it. Gyro can be enabled/disabled from the Setup -> Controls menu in the main menu of the game (not the in-game/in-match menu at the moment) . Unfortunately there's no options to adjust the joystick sensitivity in-game (this is an issue with the ioquake3 engine in general since the joystick code is quite hacky, I'm hoping to implement some custom sliders eventually when I better understand .QVM code) but you can use the console commands "/j_pitch VALUEHERE" and "j_yaw VALUEHERE" to adjust the right-stick sensitivity, the defaults for yaw being -0.008 and pitch 0.007, or you can modify those values in q3config.cfg.
Is it possible to invert the y-axis of the right analog stick ?

Hey everyone, sorry for the inactivity, my health hasn't been great recently on top of being super busy, but I finally had some time and energy to get my Switch set up again & recompile this after getting reports that both OpenArenaNX and Q3ArenaNX stopped working some firmware update ago. I released a hotfix that should solve everything, and VoyagerNX will also get a hotfix ASAP!

https://github.com/faithvoid/OpenArenaNX/releases/tag/0.7.8.1

If you have any issues or code modifications you want pushed to the source code, reach out on GitHub and I'll see what I can do. I'm still researching the ioquake3 source code to figure out how to add a settings toggle for the gyro controls as well as trying to debug the mystery sleep crash issue that's plagued all of my ioquake3 projects, so any help at all on either of those fronts is much appreciated!

    Biomutant looks cool tho, may have to try that
  • Quincy @ Quincy:
    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I still like how a freaking mp3 file hacks webos all that security defeated by text yet again
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
