Test build. 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-beta3, commit 728e48f. It replaces 0.7.9-beta2 for testing.

What's new since beta2

  • Mapping presets can be edited again: Settings › Input now shows and edits the preset chosen under Editing preset. Before, changes went to a different preset, so custom mappings (for example a double tap on Share) in your own preset could not be edited, removed or reverted. The page now opens on the preset in use, and a new preset opens for editing straight away.
  • No more missed quick button presses on the backup controller path (the older Windows joystick system): it now reads the controller on its own thread instead of every 50 ms on the app's main thread.
  • The overlay closes without delay when a button was already held while it opened.
  • Steam Input help: when a Steam game is running and a GameHQ shortcut uses Create / Share or PS, GameHQ explains that Steam Input may also send that button to the game and offers buttons that open Steam's controller settings. Guidance only: GameHQ never reads or changes Steam settings. It can be switched off in Settings › Input.
  • Warning notices stay on screen for 10 seconds with a caution icon. GameHQ also warns when another tool hides the controller from it.

Everything from beta1 and beta2 is included: the Bluetooth DualSense button/stick fix, the USB-to-Bluetooth backup-path fix and the raw-input receipt log line.

What to test

  1. In Settings › Input, choose your preset under Editing preset.
  2. Edit a mapping, for example change Share from a double tap to a hold, then remove a custom mapping.
  3. Close and reopen Settings and check that the changes are still there.
  4. Check that the edited mapping works in a game.

If something still goes wrong, please send the log: gamehq-data\logs\gamehq.log (portable) or %APPDATA%\GameHQ\GameHQ\logs\gamehq.log (installed), and tell me which preset and mapping you were editing.
