itch.io

yeah development is dead. Doesn’t even try to fix the issue that it doesn’t work for most. 

I think it’s important for people to know before buying that for people it doesn’t work on Quest 2 and sometimes Quest 1 has bugs to transfer comics to. 

So buyers beware :) dev isn’t also working on it so it will not be solved in a short time notice

Well yeah it’s the owners choice to work on it or not. But I have started development on a VR Comic reader myself. 

So maybe something good will come out of it in the end ;) 

Man I tried everything. The software is just too buggy even in the VR app sometimes the featured are not opening or the tabs are not switching. 

I tried the following for Quest 2:

- Disabled all firewalls 

- Connected through ethernet and wifi (same one as Quest)

- Try to move it manually but Quest not showing up as a device

It still shows that I should download the app to see my comics. 

At this point I just gave up I and will ask for a refund. I had some hope that the developer would reach out to quickly fix these issues but he has other priorities. Atleast should have added some more error prone way to get the comics to the headset.

I will just try another app maybe will look at this again in the future 

wait can you explain it step by step ?

Does it recognize your device ?

The companion app sees the Q1 and i transfer the files but somehow in the app it never sees these comics...It just shows the same message in "My Comics" in vr (to use the companion app) 

Q2 is not even available to connect to.

Basically on my Q1 + Q2 I can only use the demo comics now

Hi Diego,

I didn’t buy it yet. I was only trying the demo app. In fact I just bought it just to show my support. I hope you guys can fix it... shouldn’t be too hard...

btw it only detects the quest 1 when I open sidequest  along side it. I guess because adb creates a server connection. 

thanks! 

I was reverse engineering the windows application to see if I can get it to work for everyone. It seems it’s a electron app. 

The biggest issue is it does an ADB call that seems to return no connection on the oculus quest 2 but it works on quest 1. 

Will let you know if I can find anything to make it work... would be so much easier if the developer just opensourced this if it was too hard for him. Talking about the companion app not the VR app it self. 

thank you allot for your effort! It seems indeed as a hassle. Probably there is a db file somewhere who keeps track of the folder paths. 

It’s amazing that someone has such a great app but just lets it fail. It’s like Apple dumps the iPhone because iTunes had bugs lol. 

I hope that if it turns out to be abandonware (what I seriously don’t hope) that the developer opensource the project.  

I will try immersionvr it seems it’s also a comic viewer. It’s amazing that supermedium showed me that it can be amazing but I need to search for a different app to actually get my comics to work :\ 

can someone who got this to work atleast tell us how the structure works by going to sidequest folders and see where the comics are moved to ?

big chance it’s just in the Android/obb folder ?

I disabled firewall and opened the companion app. Sidequest sees my device but the companion app not. (So basically wifi + usb isn’t working)

Is there a way I can move the comics + backgrounds manually into the sidequest folder structure so that the supermedium app can see them...?

It’s not ideal but at least people can use the app while you guys work on making it easier :) because I love the demo comics!
