Try skipping activation on the online installer. You'll get an option to enter the code on the headset when you open the app.

When you enter the code on the headset, it will either work, or give you a more specific message.

Let me know what it says.

PS: This is a public forum. You might want to change your username if you don't want your email public.

Yes! There has yet to be a Quest update that's been able to fully break the app. 

The smaller issues which do arise are usually fixed before updates leave the public test channel.

What version of Quest/Horizon OS are you on?

You may have to press "shift" on the keyboard to enter capital letters. (This was once a known issue with the Quest OS)

It may be easier to use the online installation tool where you can simply paste the activation code.

The game credits artists (which are not listed on the itch for some reason) and I'm personally not inclined to accuse the art of being AI too.

Its not just emdashes — the overall markdown formatting reads as raw ChatGPT output. AI checkers aren't perfect, but all are extremely confident about the description.

I wouldn't have even clicked if I wasn't struck by the style and premise — but I'm not inclined to spend time on a visual novel whose first impression is AI-written.

Trans authors deserve your attention. Not AI.

That's not quite true. A lot of similar paperdoll-animated titles use AI generated imagery which is cut out & cleaned up by human artists.

Edit: I have no reason to believe this game's art is AI. I just don't want anyone accidentally mislead.

To what extent was AI used in the creation of this game?

I don't want to make baseless accusations, but the game's description is clearly majority AI-written:
- GPT-style lists with bold titles & emojis
- Unnatural word choice / prose
- Excessive use of em-dashes
- Flagged by GPTZero with 100% confidence

Some of the writing in the screenshots also seems suspect.

Given that the Patreon's pulling in nearly $10k/month, I feel like there should be some more clarity regarding where and how AI is being used.

Resolved on Discord.

Turns out the activation server was blocked in Belarus.

Will see what I can do to fix that permanently, but in the meantime it was resolved by using a VPN

Like many of your older games, the google play listing for this is no longer up.

I totally understand it wouldn't be worth your time to keep up with Google's constantly-changes requirements, but it might be nice to include an APK on itch for download.

Lovely game, by the way!

The internals of the setup process are a bit to complicated for a single post, but I'd be happy to talk development on discord :)

The 6-digit activation code is under 'external code' on your purchase page. Check that you're entering the code correctly on your headset.

If you're using v81, you must use the connected setup method.

The Settings app you are looking at is the Quest settings app, not the Android Settings app.

Please look up how to set up and use ADB on macOS, and then execute  'adb tcpip 5555' as instructed.

Update: The new online installer now works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

On-device setup has also been completely re-imagined to support Quest OS v81 and newer.

Setup is now easier than ever!

SideQuest changes the render texture size - which is equivalent to eye-buffer size, and actually is the same as resolution.

Per Meta's official documentation: 

This is the resolution of the texture to which the app is rendering. The default for Meta Quest is 1216x1344.

Confusing technical details aside: This has nothing to do with in-game textures, and everything to do with resolution.

This setting is already in Quest Game Tuner, as "Render Resolution" - which more clearly describes what it actually does

With v79, Meta pushed a change which breaks certain parts of the Android settings app.

That makes on-device setup impossible on v79 - but you can still set-up Quest Game Tuner with a connected windows PC.

EDIT: Meta has fixed the issue, on-device setup will work again on the latest PTC update :)

Please get in touch on Discord.
EDIT: Glad I could help :)

All updates to Quest Game Tuner are, and always will be, completely free.

Quest headsets can cool themselves quite well if the fan ramps up and vents aren't blocked. Throttling is rare, but increased temps, noise and battery drain are to be expected when using elevated clocks and settings. 

You can use the different available tuning profiles or manual tuning to achieve your ideal balance of performance and power consumption.

That option is currently exclusive to Lightning Launcher.

Its inconsistency is due to a system limitation introduced in v74.

v74 broke the old method Lightning Launcher used to open custom window sizes. The current method works for most apps, but it isn't perfect.

If an app opens a separate activity in a certain way, it will lose the custom window size. Unfortunately, It seems like Retroarch does this at startup.

The majority of Quest standalone games work great with resolution tuning - though some benefit more than others. 

Quest Game Tuner includes a list of vertical and horizontal resolution options that are known to work across most titles.

I am unsure what benefit is gained from this approach (do you not trust your users to navigate a file picker?), but if the demand is there more power to you. I'm also not sure how installing an additional application via ADB is supposed to make installation of your other app easier.

If your schedule is really so busy, it might be a better use of time to direct users to an existing application or contributing to an open-source application such as SAI.

60FPS has been known to cause issues and is not supported by some headsets. Many guides and tools you find online are incorrect or out of date.

All available options in Quest Game Tuner have been tested to work with Quest 2,3, & 3S on the latest OS versions.

If you know what you're doing, you can directly modify properties files in `android/data/com.threethan.tuner`, but unlisted values might not work as you'd expect.

I received a number of requests on my discord server for help with development of a closed-source application with this exact feature set a few days before you posted this. (Update: Seemingly unrelated)

In case this is related (update: seemingly not - was someone else with unfortunate timing), I would like to give a reminder that Lightning Launcher's license does not allow for any portion of its code to be used or redistributed, even if modified, without attribution.

Requesting access to the user's filesystem is also a strange choice. The same functionality can be achieved without sensitive permissions by using a system file picker. You're welcome to reference Lightning Launcher's implementation of a similar feature, which does not require file system access.

I've played through the entire game on mobile. This is one of my favorite puzzle games experiences in recent memory, and translates brilliantly to different platforms.

The puzzles are incredibly clever, and expand well beyond what you'd expect from the initial concept. If you enjoy puzzle games that require a bit of lateral thinking, do give this one a try!

This is a message which shows up the the competing QGO app. This is because you cannot have two different apps tuning your games at the same time. You can learn more about the difference here.

Open the "Quest Game Tuner" app to use Quest Game Tuner instead.

You can easily change stabilization options with Quest Game Tuner, which effect the recording FOV. You can also customize the recording aspect ratio.

However, you cannot increase recording FOV beyond the level of disabling stabilization.

The key is on the itch.io purchase page which comes up immediately after purchasing. It can always be recovered through your purchase email or itch.io account.

Please refer this support page for specifics: https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought 

The key used to anonymously activate Quest Game Tuner will display on itch.io as an "External Key". You may need to click a button to claim it.

Yes! Under recording, set "2D Capture Eye or Capture 3D" to true.

You can install it with just the headset, check the installation guide. (Trying to install to your headset using phone would just overcomplicate things.)

You can purchase it wherever is convinient. If you want to access the purchase on multiple devices, you can create an itch.io account for free.

If you can, please reach out on discord for the fastest response!

You can also get support on the support thread if you prefer to keep things on itch.io.

This can happen if your device is having trouble hitting the target FPS. 

Open the tuning settings for "Home Environment" and select a lower setting, or set the profile to "Don't Tune (App Decides All)"

There have been improvements to this feature in 1.5.0 - please give it a try!

The game does not run correctly in Firefox (seems to be a problem with the engine)

It worked fine in chrome. Very cute and I love the little animations!

This issues is now fixed in 1.5.0

Update: The duplicate comment has been removed from the main thread, but feel free to follow up here.

UPDATE: As of 1.5.0, the accessibility service is now optional, and can be disabled from the settings.

Do you also have flickering windows when this issue occurs? (The more detail, the better)

I've gotten some more info from users on discord and am actively working on a solution. This issue is especially annoying to replicate, so it may still take a few days for a fix to be ready.

I'm a bit late with the reply, but a fix for v71 startup issues came with 1.4.1.

There are now occasionally similar issues on the v72 beta, but a fix for those in on the way in the next update.

I'd be happy to help you with any trouble you have had if you message me on the support thread or discord!

If you want to disable tuning, you can turn it off in Quest Game Tuner's options.

To uninstall: Find it in the unknown sources list, press the three dots, then click "Uninstall".

That's really strange - the latest github and itch.io releases are bit-for-bit identical. (Might have been an old download or some sort of issue with the download)

Still, glad you got it working. Enjoy Quest Game Tuner!

You need to install it to secondary accounts using the Mobile VR station method shown in the installation video. 

Installation via SideQuest does not work correctly on multiple accounts, and ADB installation requires additional configuration.

Don't hesitate to reach out on Discord if you need one-on-one assistance!
