If you have any issues with this method which are not resolved by restarting your headset, please leave a comment and try the on-device setup.

Opening Quest Game Tuner

After setup, your games will automatically be tuned for performance. You can change settings, access extras, and more through the Quest Game Tuner app on your Quest.

You can open Quest Game Tuner from the "Unknown Sources" section of your library.

Once the Quest Game Tuner window is open, you can drag it from the right section of the Quest's dock to the left section to keep it easily accessible. (If there are already 5 icons in the left section of the dock, you'll need to remove one first.)

You can also launch Quest Game Tuner, and all your Quest apps & games, using Lightning Launcher. (You can also open an apps tuning settings directly from Lightning Launcher if you have both installed!)

Troubleshooting

In most cases, either setup process should work without issue. 

If you have an issue not listed here, or need more help, leave a comment here or message me on the discord.

The settings app crashes during on-device setup

If you have a pin, you might need to turn it off. Go to the Quest's Settings app, then security. If you have a pin set, you'll see an option to disable it.

If you don't have a pin, or have already disabled it, you can install Lightning Launcher for free and then:

• Open "Android Settings" from the apps section in Lightning Launcher
• Scroll down and go to "System"
• Scroll down again, and open "Developer Settings" from there

You should now be able to continue setup normally.

Tuning settings don't apply immediately

Check the bottom of the Quest Game Tuner window, it will show you the currently applied settings.

If these don't update after you open or close a game, simply hold the power button and restart your headset once.

Issues with Entering License Key

If your license key is not being accepted, please ensure you spelled it correct. Keys can contain numbers and letter!

If you are prompted to enter your license key more than once, uninstall Quest Game Tuner, then install the latest version from an official source (itch.io, GitHub, or SideQuest).

If you are having issues with a specific key, I can personally confirm it and check for look-alikes. You'll need to get in touch on discord.
