GameOS 1.3.0
GameOS 1.3.0
New Features
- Lots of Polish Items: Our team has been hard at work polishing the interface and usability of GameOS. Many small improvements have been made to the user experience, so enjoy exploring the smoothest experience in GameOS yet!
- Epic Game Store (EGS) Plugin Refactor: We’ve made some adjustments to the EGS implementation, which should help more of the newer EGS-based games launch.
- Webview Fixes: Many games that would use a browser to log you in or display opportunities to purchase DLC would not open the browser correctly. This has been fixed.
- MangoHud is Back: A new toggle has been added to the QAM, allowing you to turn MangoHud on and off whenever you like.
Fixed Issues
- Waking a device while AutoTDP is on no longer causes a period of poor performance on wake.
- Starting your device would sometimes cause the volume to be set to maximum without warning.
- If the Home screen fails to load, music no longer fails to play.
- Using the touchscreen to navigate GRID would sometimes focus the wrong element on screen.
- Games that would open webviews for login or DLC purchases would sometimes fail to do so.
- Scrolling through the user’s Collection using the touchscreen interface would sometimes fail to scroll your view correctly.
- Canceling the Link Providers modal in an empty Collection would cause the user to get stuck in the Collection.
- Launching games from an Intel based platform would often cause the game to launch into a black screen.
- Local games would sometimes take a very long time to appear in the user’s Collection.
- Games listed as “Coming Soon” can be added to the user’s wishlist.

- Scrolling down will allow the user to select the dropdown.
- If the device sleeps while on the Update modal, when the Restart Now button is available, the modal may close, preventing the user from knowing they have to restart to apply the update.
- Restarting through the power modal on the Home screen applies the update normally.
