v0.7.9-beta2

Diagnostic test build for one Bluetooth issue. This is not a general release. Stable users should stay on 0.7.8.

The app reports version 0.7.9. This build is v0.7.9-beta2, commit 42e633d. It replaces 0.7.9-beta1 for this test only.

What's new since beta1

  • Controller capture after switching from USB to Bluetooth: GameHQ's backup controller path (the older Windows joystick system) now picks up a DualSense that moves from USB to Bluetooth while GameHQ is running. Before, it only found the pad again after a restart.
  • Diagnostics: GameHQ now writes a short raw-input receipt line to its log. It appears at startup, when a controller connects or disconnects, and when controller input stops arriving (for example while a game is in front). It records message counts and GameHQ's own input registration. It contains no device serials, no window titles and no raw controller data.

The Bluetooth button and stick fix from beta1 is unchanged.

Test sequence

Please don't change Steam, DSX or GameHQ settings during this test.

  1. Start GameHQ with the DualSense connected by USB.
  2. Launch the game and confirm the capture button works once.
  3. Keep GameHQ running.
  4. Disconnect USB and connect the same DualSense over Bluetooth.
  5. Put the game in the foreground.
  6. Press the capture button 3 times, a few seconds apart.
  7. If nothing happens, leave the game in the foreground for about 20 seconds before doing anything else.
  8. Bring GameHQ to the foreground.
  9. Close and restart GameHQ while the controller stays on Bluetooth.
  10. Put the game in the foreground again and try one more capture.

Please send back:

  • the log: gamehq-data\logs\gamehq.log (portable) or %APPDATA%\GameHQ\GameHQ\logs\gamehq.log (installed)
  • whether capture worked before the switch from USB
  • whether it failed after switching to Bluetooth without restarting GameHQ
  • whether it worked again after the restart
