Dear all, it's been a bit more than a month since we released 0.21.4.1. We've been hard at work to implementing a few major functionalities, among which a totally revamped Hotkey manager, offering a lot more flexibility and capabilities to customize your handheld experience. We've also improved the support for a few devices, including the AYANEO Flip DS and it's exotic dual-screen format, allowing users to instantly swap/resize/maximize/make borderless any window across the screens.
We've also heard the Steam Deck community complaining for quite some times now on the inconsistent gaming experience when Steam was running parallelly to HC. Therefore, we've implemented a new "Steam controller mode" with Hybrid/Exclusive options to define the expected controller behaviors. Lastly, we've fixed as many bugs and issues that were reported while also improving the overall user experience.
We wish you all a pleasant summer vacation and lots of fun playing!
