OpenNOW 1.0.4 uses Qt Quick and a native Rust streaming engine.
This release includes:
- A macOS app icon created in Apple's Icon Composer, using the OpenNOW cloud on a native dark tile.
- More room for settings, responsive controls and Home rows, and Store/Library updates that retain existing navigation controls.
- Focus, navigation, and input updates that cancel when their screen closes, preventing errors during rapid route and fullscreen changes.
- Correct connected-store status when GeForce NOW omits optional linking metadata, and library sync that waits for a newly linked account.
- Restored German keyboard mappings, Windows modifier/AltGr handling, and window dragging and resizing while streaming.
- Correct persistent in-game settings, cleanup of completed launch requests, and HTTPS-based region latency measurements.
- Additional resolution presets, default macOS pointer lock, Windows installation-directory selection, and Intel Mac packages.
- Linux HID identity fixes for wheels, mouse-button release recovery after capture loss, and Wayland Vulkan teardown fixes.
- Stream startup and session-end callbacks that survive diagnostic queue pressure, and catalog tooltips that stay out of active streams.
- Microphone signal and uplink diagnostics to help investigate silent input. These diagnostics do not establish that every microphone report is resolved.
- Motion frame generation remains the default on Windows; experimental FlyHigh is unavailable pending a verified bridge.
Updates are authenticated with signed Ed25519 manifests.
The macOS DMGs require macOS 13+ and are Developer ID-signed and notarized.
Use OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.4-Darwin-arm64.dmg for Apple Silicon (arm64) or OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.4-Darwin-x64.dmg for Intel (x64).
Windows platform signing follows the candidate's windowsSigningMode recorded in RELEASE-INFO.json; unsigned Windows packages may trigger SmartScreen.
Older builds without the production update key (including v1.0.0) require one manual installation to enable verified updates.
Linux AppImages include embedded update information and .zsync sidecars for external delta-update tools. Make the AppImage executable before launching.
DEBs bundle Qt and SDL3; install with sudo apt install ./OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.4-Linux-x64.deb (use arm64 on ARM systems) to install system dependencies, including pkexec for update authorization.
Flatpak bundles are included for x64 and arm64; install with flatpak install --user ./OpenNOW-Qt-1.0.4-Linux-x64.flatpak (use arm64 on ARM systems). Flatpak updates are managed externally, not by the in-app updater.
Windows ARM64 is cross-built, not runtime-tested by CI. Hardware-specific gameplay acceptance is not implied by CI passing.
Known issue: Alliance Partners may not work correctly.
Known issue: YUV 4:4:4 is marked Coming soon because it is not working correctly. Use a 4:2:0 color profile.
