Captain Hardcore Quest update 0.7.1 - Fix for Oculus v0.39 issues (also patched versions of 0.6 and 0.5)

Hey everyone, there's a known issue with Quest OS v0.39 that's causing some games to crash on launch. Here's a small update for Captain Hardcore Quest that fixes the issue.

You'll only need it if the game won't launch after updating to v0.39, but it's a good idea to install this anyway to prevent it from breaking when your Quest updates itself in the future.

The install process is slightly different now:

1) Make sure you uninstall any previous versions first

2) There's 2 files you must install. Transfer the .apk file first using Sidequest as with previous versions

3) Once the .apk install completes, transfer the .obb file in the same way. You must do this AFTER the .apk

If the install gets stuck on "checking blacklist" or any other error please make sure you've uninstalled the previous version and there's enough storage space available on your Quest.

Make sure you unzip the files before trying to sideload them.

For further instructions see the Quest Installation Guide

0.7.1:

Mega: DOWNLOAD HERE

Filemail: DOWNLOAD HERE

WeTransfer: DOWNLOAD HERE

I've also created patched builds of 0.6 and 0.5 which you'll need if you pledged for an older version:

0.6: DOWNLOAD HERE

0.5: DOWNLOAD HERE

Hi, please go onto your Quest and open a web browser and navigate to Patreon.com, then log in and open the following link in your messages. That should let you get a key to copy and paste into the game. https://captain-hardcore.com/Patreon/ServerCode/get-token.php

Trying to load onto my Quest and I get this error. I install the APK no problem... the OBB however gives me this error... I have even tried multiple versions.. help anyone? Error: tasks screen for more info. com.AntiZeroGames.CH - Failed to transfer file: Error: Command failed: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\SideQuest\platform-tools\adb.exe" -s 1PASH9BV5W0261 push "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\SideQuest\tmp\Captain Hardcore Quest APK v0.9\Install\main.1.com.AntiZeroGames.CH.obb"

AntiZero · June 1, 2023

Hi, this usually happens when the install does not work properly and sometimes when it does not uninstall a previous version properly. There is a file in the the 0.9 download called "install.bat" that you should run, first extract all of the 0.9 download files, connect your headset to your PC with the link cable, and make sure you are on the link dash in the headset, then run the "install.bat" file, this should remove the old version completely and install the new version.

idk if im just dumb but wheres the .apk file. when i download it i just see the .obb file

A
AntiZero · January 27, 2023

Hi, it sounds like your antivirus may be quarantining the .apk file. If you re-download the file and disable your antivirus before your open the .zip then it should be there.

The Meta browser won't launch after pressing the button to get access to the key, it just stays on a black loading screen, and kept loading for 10 minutes before crashing.

fellow patron · September 15, 2022

hey is there a tutorial for the quest 2 version in terms of playing the game? there's so many options and settings and I think I saw a guy enabled passthrough which I don't know how to do in game. Be great to play the game with all the features as besides just loading and making my own model im not sure what else to do. is there a place where we can download skins created by other creators as well? thanks!

CrankSnappa · August 21, 2022

Hi! I just downloaded the files (no pc, just an android phone and the oculus quest 2) but nothing seems to work. Ive tried bugjaeger, installing the files directly from the browser and the opening them in cx file explorer, but nothing is working. Im just confused on how to get this to run lol

A
AntiZero · August 30, 2022

Hi, it sounds like you might be just importing the .zip file. You need to use a program like 7zip and unpack the files on your phone first if using bugjaeger. Make sure you then sideload the .apk file first, and then the .obb. Make sure you have removed all previous versions of the game you tried to install on the Quest first. Here is a good video guide for using BugJaeger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EZmbIsLKXE&ab_channel=WaqManVR

kebo · August 19, 2022

why is it taking so long to import the obb file?

A
AntiZero · August 30, 2022

Hi, the .obb file takes quite a bit longer than the .apk as it contains most of the game content, sometimes it may take a long time to be checked against the blacklist. If it takes hours then the SideQuest servers could be very busy, or you might have a problem with your connection with your PC. Try different USB cables and Ports in that case.

Daniel Christiansen · August 11, 2022

hello i need . Help. I don't have a pc. I only have a tablet and an Android mobile phone... Is it possible to install it via Android? I'm so excited I've already booked the stage captain....

A
AntiZero · August 14, 2022

There is a sideload app you can use called BugJaeger Mobile ADB. This is a good video to watch to try it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EZmbIsLKXE&ab_channel=WaqManVR

I can't extract the OBB file from the compressed folder. Just fails part way through, also tried using 7ZIP and that didn't work. Have downloaded a couple times from different mirrors and I have the same issue

A
AntiZero · August 15, 2022

Have you checked that your antivirus is not blocking it? It might be worth disabling it while you extract it.

AntiZero · August 6, 2022

Hi, sometimes the servers don't update right away, people usually get in after waiting and retrying again. Feel free to direct message me if you still have problems.

Benstamous · July 23, 2022

Where is the .obb file?

A
AntiZero · July 28, 2022

It is in the zip file you download, if it does not appear to be in there then it might be getting removed by your antivirus.

Did you try one of the download mirrors? If so then maybe check your network connection and your firewall.

It sounds like you might need to re-enable developer mode, it is worth checking that first.

John Allen · June 10, 2022

Can't get this to work. I've downloaded the whole SideQuest and I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions listed but I just can't get this to work for my Oculus. I hit the install APK button on Sidequest and it acts like it's downloading but then I look in currently installed apps and the files on headset but it's not there. I open the folder and try to click on the instructions but nothing happens. Tried to unzip the folder but I swear my computer already did that. Computers make my head hurt.

I have the same issue

D
Daedalus · May 29, 2022

Does the Quest version come with no "official" scenes or scenarios/game campaign content? I can see environments but scene list is empty until I import user content or make something. Not complaining at all, the game is excellent. More like wondering if my install is corrupted as I installed on device and created directory (using package name) to place obb manually. Game launches normally and behaves normally.

A
AntiZero · June 1, 2022

Hi, pre-made scenes are not on the Quest version currently, but you can change the environment be clicking on the green Load/Save icon in the menu and clicking New, which it sounds like you found. It sounds like your install has worked correctly.

Derpman · May 22, 2022

Anyway to side load this using phone I got bugjaeger, sidequest, and rar all on phone not having any issues with the apk file but can't get the obb file after. Side note I'm pretty dumb/new at all this any help is appreciated thanks!

Can you please provide us a better installing guide? I installed the APK and than moved to the .obb file to as many folders as I thought it could be the one. But whenever I open the game in unknown sources, it just keep stalking in loading screen with that 3 dots. Where excactly must I move the .obb File to? should it be extracted or not?

Finally got this to work by uninstalling some invisible file. 1. clicking the ADB command button at the top of Sidequest. Then click custom command, and enter "ADB uninstall "com.AntiZeroGames.CH". After that, the instructions worked fine.

Blake Snow · April 30, 2022

I had the same issue. Haven’t tried this workaround yet. I had a black screen of death recently and had a thought to CH via side quest and it booted perfectly. Thank you for the update. I was still having issues booting up on the quest after I got black screen issues corrected and my way is not essential of any sort lol. Love your work! Keep ‘em coming.
