What this tool is for
Quest Patcher is a free graphical mod installer for il2cpp Unity applications running on the Oculus Quest. Created by Lauriethefish, it uses Sc2ad’s Questloader to load mods and takes its command-line ideas mainly from RedBrumbler’s tool. It was originally designed for modding Gorilla Tag and lets you apply patches, add or remove mods, and update installations through a simple GUI.
Supported systems and limitations
- Officially supported on Windows 10; other Windows releases may run it but some features could be missing or unreliable.
- The Quest patching workflow requires an active internet connection while the application downloads required files.
- Only Quest-compatible mod packages (.qmod) work with this tool; Windows PC DLL mods are not compatible with the Quest version of Gorilla Tag.
Installing Quest Patcher
Follow these steps to install the application:
- Download the installer and run it from your browser or Downloads folder.
- If Windows flags a potential threat, choose More info and then Run anyway to proceed.
- When prompted, pick either Install for All Users or Install for Me Only, confirm with Yes, accept the license terms, and continue through the Next prompts until the installer runs.
- After the installer finishes, launch Quest Patcher and allow it to download any required components before attempting to patch or modify a game.
How to patch a game
- Click the Patch My App button to begin patching the selected application.
- Keep your PC online while the patch process runs and avoid closing Quest Patcher during this operation.
- Patching duration varies with your internet connection speed as the tool may need to download additional files.
Adding and managing mods
Before using the Mod Management controls, make sure you have the correct mod files (.qmod). Then:
- Download the .qmod package for each mod you want to add (do not use .DLL files intended for PC).
- Use the Browse button in the Mod Management area to locate the .qmod files on your computer.
- Select the files and click Open to install them into the patched app.
Practical notes and troubleshooting
- A false-positive security warning during installation is common; use More info → Run anyway to continue.
- If features seem missing on non-Windows-10 systems, try running the installer with administrative privileges or use a Windows 10 environment for full compatibility.
- If a patch or mod install fails, check your internet connection and allow the app to re-download any dependencies.
Summary — is it worth using?
Quest Patcher is a convenient, user-friendly option for Gorilla Tag players on Quest who want to manage mods without command-line tools. It streamlines patching and mod installation, but users should be comfortable with basic modding concepts and keep in mind that full functionality is only guaranteed on Windows 10.
