Well, I think I've found part of the reason it looks/feels so bad on PC after going through the list of CVars.
Quake has traditionally updated at 72Hz internally, and it looks like this new port changes and locks that to 60Hz.
Higher frame rates are then interpolated from this - which does not look smooth at all.
This isn't helped by the Vulkan rendering path not working with G-Sync - which I think is part of the reason it felt laggy to play.
But even after switching it to DX11 using
This is a problem which has been solved long ago in other source ports. vkQuake is so much smoother than this version when both are running at 110 FPS (on a 120Hz display).

Right joycon repaired. Finally i can play the game in handheld mode, and well, color me impressed
No issues to aim or move whatsoever. After years having Quake installed vía homebrew on my 3DS, i can't even begin to express how thankful i am for this official remaster

none of my campaign completion achievements are unlocking on xbox. Incredibly frustrating. The other random feat ones are, like killing a shambler before it can shoot.

I tried to get that, but Q3A folder is inside Windows App folder and the access is obfuscated.
They are for me. I finished the first 3 episodes and got achievements for all of them.
This is still a really fun game. Honestly shorter than I remembered. I will definitely go through all the campaigns. Would be nice if Nightdive would fix the dead zone issue fast though.
I think you're right. Any word on if the game will be updated with dead zone settings on consoles, specifically Series X? Don't think I want to play it in its current state. Just feels unresponsive and unmanageable.
BTW, there's a funny bug on PC where when you boot the game, the numbers will have these weird lines around, making the HUD look pretty ugly:
If this happens to you, switch to fullscreen mode and then go back to borderless.

Anyone having problems playing online on switch? It does the check to see if I have nintendo online then does nothing?
Are you playing through the campaigns via New Game or the level select?
I read on the Steam forums that the episode completion achievements only unlock if you play via New Game. It's likely gonna be the same way for Xbox too.
I had this problem when i first played/signed into the Bethesda account on my Switch.
Could you try going to Options > Bethesda.net and sign in/authenticate there, and then try the Online mode? It worked for me after I did that.
Do the commands work via the console? You may need to enter
vid_restart after them.I don't have access to the Game Pass version to test here.
So im really happy about this! they even updated the version I have on steam which was not expected. Im kinda bummed about the new expansion dimension of the machine though, im not sure what it is but it tanks my frame rate in parts of it. As I test i turned off all the graphical features and the framerate didnt change so im not sure what it is. It runs flawless in the original game for example.
For anyone having issues like me run this command from the console: r_gpuculling 0
fixed it now runs flawless.
Just change the game mode in the multi-player option instead of deathmatch qhen making a game.
are saves compatible between the Steam and PC Game Pass versions? if so, does that mean we can somehow get achievements on both with the same save somehow?
For anyone who hasn't gotten the achievement yet:
You can use the axe for 'Slipgate Pacifist' (Beat E1M1 on Nightmare without firing a shot)

No RT, but the frame rate cap will be bumped up to 120fps. If RT were on the cards, it'd be in the PC version.
It's hidden in difficulty select stage near the start of episode 4.
Ok, the little hub area after you select normal/easy/hard has a hidden difficulty portal in it. When you fall through the water that leads to episode 4, there's a wooden beam you can fall onto that leads to the nightmare difficulty selection.
It's available from the get go, you just need to find it ;)
Nope, they were being literal, the Nightmare portal is hidden at the chapter select room (On any difficulty)
When you go down the water to enter episode 4 you can drop down onto a wooden walkway that leads into the nightmare difficulty slipgate. If you miss it go into the portal in the back of the room to re-enter difficulty selection and try again.
I think this is a thing that's pretty unique to Quake, so I do kind of wish people wouldn't spoil it, but I can also see why it'd be confusing to someone who's new to the game. I like how the game tests your skill a bit to make sure you're more willing to take on a challenge.
I can still recall discovering it by accident way back in the day (I would've been 8 or 9 at the time) and being disappointed it wasn't a new episode, haha.
I did some testing with this yesterday. It seems to be related to the depth of field setting. If you disable DOF and fully shut down the game, it won't come back. I think the DOF effect only appears when you're switching weapons on a controller so it's not a big deal for mouse/keyboard.BTW, there's a funny bug on PC where when you boot the game, the numbers will have these weird lines around, making the HUD look pretty ugly:

Here it is, as the creators originally intended. Quake 64 on a real CRT at 800x600 120hz, played with a Series controller.
I like this. Now taking a break until the controls are patched, because the response curve / deadzone thing really does need patched on all platforms.

No, it has nothing to do with that at all, and bumping that would break the game physics. It's locked to 60hz internally for a very intentional reason to prevent physics issues from manifesting.
Interpolation also doesn't care what the original framerate is, it doesn't need to. It's an interpolation of the real time compared to the frame time, so litteraly any value could be in its place. I don't know what the issue is you claim to have, but it's not either of these things, for sure.
Oh really? It's pretty doable without it though. I didn't know that and it took me like 5 minutes. Using the secrets to get armor and the mega health for extra sturdiness helped.
