Gorilla Tag Modding Disruption: the State of Monkey Mod Manager and Mod Fixes
By Alexander Ross
Device configuration adds another layer of complexity to mod stability. Running the game natively on a standalone Quest headset is completely incompatible with PC-based DLL injectors; all BepInEx modifications require an actual Windows PC running the game binaries. Players connecting their Quest 2 or Quest 3 headsets via Air Link, Virtual Desktop, or a wired USB-C link cable often mistake headset firmware issues for mod failures.
If the Meta Quest PC client is not designated as the active OpenXR runtime, SteamVR and Oculus runtimes can engage in a handshake conflict. This friction delays the window injection process past the threshold where BepInEx hooks into the graphics pipeline. Setting the active runtime correctly in the Meta PC app settings resolves this issue. It ensures the injection occurs the split-second the game window opens on the monitor, rather than timing out while the VR compositor negotiates display rights.
