Serein — Beta 1.1

Serein — Beta 1.1

Added a game picker for installed Steam, Epic Games and GOG games, with search
and store filters. You can still choose your own EXE. If several executables are
found, choose the actual game process. Selecting a game does not start it or enable
gaming mode.

Automatic discovery does not cover every launcher or protected Store game; use
Custom EXE where accessible.

Download Serein-0.1.0-beta.1.1-win-x64.zip, extract all files and open
Serein.Gaming.WinUI.exe. This is still a beta, tested on Windows 11 x64 and
unsigned. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Русский: добавлен выбор установленных игр из Steam, Epic Games и GOG, поиск и
фильтр по магазину. Возможность указать свой EXE сохранена.

Deutsch: Spiele aus Steam, Epic Games und GOG auswählen, suchen und nach Store
filtern. Eine eigene EXE kann weiterhin gewählt werden.

Serein 0.1.0-beta.1 — First public beta

Serein 0.1.0-beta.1 — first public beta

Welcome to the first public test version. Feedback, bug reports, translations and
suggestions for improvements or new features are very welcome.

Download and start

Choose Serein-0.1.0-beta.1-win-x64.zip, extract every file and open
Serein.Gaming.WinUI.exe. Keep the folder together. .NET/Windows App SDK runtimes
are included; AMD components are not. This executable is unsigned.
SHA256SUMS.txt contains the archive checksum.

Tested on Windows 11 x64. Windows 10, mixed DPI and the complete accessibility
matrix have not been validated. This is a portable folder, not an installer.

Included

• Native WinUI 3 dashboard with real CPU/GPU/RAM activity, charts and hardware summary.
• Explicit Gaming/Extreme sessions for approved apps, temporary manual process
  actions and a separate restoration watchdog.
• Device categories, CPU summaries, SSD model/capacity/firmware, curated recognition
  and relevant official support without motherboard fallback.
• Explicit Windows Update driver discovery; installation handed to Windows Settings.
• Themes, custom accents/layout, optional Liquid Glass, original bundled images,
  local image import and optional animated vector patterns.
• English by default; Russian and German selectable immediately in Settings.

Limits

No guaranteed FPS gain. Freezing pauses file saves/downloads and can hold shared
resources. Restoration cannot cover every failure. Choose only apps you can safely
pause and use Restore all when needed.

Driver search is not a universal latest-driver catalog. Unknown devices remain
unknown. Support links are not confirmed newer/compatible packages. No firmware
installer. AMD sensors depend on supported installed components; CPU connection is
explicit and may need administrator permission.

Tray, cleanup, startup/services, integrated FPS capture and the full in-app driver
installer are not yet in this interface. Legacy WPF source is included for development;
its extra features are not part of this beta executable.

Verification

122 experiment checks, 132 native UI checks and 58 Core regression checks passed
on the Windows 11 test host. This includes real language-picker events and isolated
test-owned freeze/priority/restore scenarios. One earlier fixture run was refused
by conservative eligibility checks; a subsequent complete run passed. No protection
was bypassed. These tests do not establish compatibility with every PC or game.
