OpenNOW 1.0.3

Highlights

  • Who's playing? Keep several accounts signed in, pick one at launch and switch without leaving the app. (#1174)
  • DLSS for your plan. Cloud DLSS overrides, DLSS labels from NVIDIA's DLSS games list, and DLSS support per membership tier in game details. (#1215, #1227, #1230)
  • Ctrl+G drawer. Now docked left, with quick toggles, Anti-AFK and per-controller tuning. (#1183, #1179)
  • Smarter game tiles. Launchers, RTX, HDR, Reflex, DLSS and membership locks at a glance. (#1220)
  • Game Mode redesign. A rebuilt console experience for controllers and TVs. (#1120)
  • First-run setup. Guided onboarding with one decision per step. (#1159)
  • Updates. A Settings › Updates page, a status-bar update chip and real download progress. (#1212)
  • HOTAS, flight controls and wheels. Passed through to the game as the real device. (#1187)
  • Alliance Partners. Alliance accounts stream correctly again. (#1098, #1162)

Streaming and reliability

  • Store versions without HDR stream in SDR, with a single notice per game. (#1232)
  • Codec, chroma and HDR fall back the way GeForce NOW does instead of failing the launch. (#1165)
  • Native WebRTC compatibility mode. (#1089)
  • Faster recovery from packet loss with reference-frame invalidation. (#1164, #1147, #1167)
  • Smoother audio with bounded jitter buffering. (#1170, #1192)
  • Session time is kept across reconnects. (#1208)

Platforms and accounts

  • Linux: x64 and arm64 Flatpaks, VA-API and V4L2 decode fixes, and steadier PipeWire audio. (#1121, #1213, #1189, #1100, #1207, #1134)
  • macOS: opt-in AWDL suppression while streaming. (#1177)
  • Accounts: GOG linking. (#1206)
  • Reporting: automatic bug reports, which you can turn off. (#1092)

Downloads

Platform Packages
Windows x64 and ARM64 -setup.exe installer, .msi, portable .zip
macOS, Apple Silicon (macOS 13+) .dmg, .zip
Linux x64 and arm64 .AppImage, .deb, .flatpak

Install notes

  • macOS: Developer ID-signed and notarized. Intel Macs are not included in this release.
  • Windows: signing follows the candidate's windowsSigningMode in RELEASE-INFO.json. Unsigned packages may trigger SmartScreen. ARM64 is cross-built and not runtime-tested by CI.
  • AppImage: make the file executable before launching. It embeds update information and ships a .zsync sidecar for external delta-update tools.
  • DEB: bundles Qt and SDL3. Install with sudo apt install ./OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.3-Linux-x64.deb (use arm64 on ARM systems) so apt pulls in system dependencies, including pkexec for update authorization.
  • Flatpak: install with flatpak install --user ./OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.3-Linux-x64.flatpak (use arm64 on ARM systems). Flatpak manages its own updates; the in-app updater does not.

Known issues

  • YUV 4:4:4 is marked Coming soon because it does not work correctly yet. Use a 4:2:0 color profile.

Build

Source commit: 60ce69a07bf94ba484af7406d386ccb28e5a13e6. Production candidate run: 38824556678. CI passing covers builds and tests; it does not imply hardware-specific gameplay acceptance.
