GameHub v0.1.2

GameHub v0.1.2

Fixed

• Manual games, including Proton titles, now launch correctly from the AppImage. AppImage runtime variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, PYTHONHOME/PYTHONPATH, GTK/GStreamer paths) are stripped before spawning games, preventing pressure-vessel/bwrap failures and Proton Python errors.

Added

• Add or remove games in the applications menu with .desktop launchers, using game artwork or the GameHub icon.
• gamehub --launch-game <kind> <id> CLI mode used by the menu launchers. It tracks manual playtime and reports launch errors with desktop notifications.

Downloads

• GameHub_0.1.2_amd64.AppImage - portable AppImage.
• gamehub-0.1.2-linux-x86_64 - plain Linux binary.

GameHub v0.1.1

GameHub v0.1.1

Bug-fix release focused on launching manual Windows games, memory usage and hover animations.

AppImages don't work with manually added games.

Fixes

• Manual Windows games now launch like Steam games — via the Steam Linux Runtime wrapper, proton waitforexitandrun and SteamAppId/SteamGameId. Fixes SnowRunner and other titles that need a proper Steam environment.
• Disabled lsteamclient (WINEDLLOVERRIDES=lsteamclient=d) so RUNE/cracked games no longer crash on startup.
• Fixed ~3 GB memory spike when enabling Show uninstalled games — removed per-card backdrop-filter and grayscale filters that forced expensive compositing layers.
• Stable hover animations — artwork dims instantly without a color lag, and the Play/Download button no longer flickers during the card lift/lower animation.
• Lighter artwork loading — lazy/async image decoding keeps scrolling smooth.

Downloads

• GameHub_0.1.1_amd64.AppImage — portable AppImage build.
• gamehub-0.1.1-linux-x86_64 — plain binary (requires system WebKitGTK 4.1 / GTK3 libraries).

Requirements: Linux x86_64, WebKitGTK 4.1, GTK3.
