โšก Game Booster PRO v1.2.1 Release Notes

๐Ÿš€ In-App GitHub Update Checker

  • Asynchronous Update Engine: Checks GitHub Releases in the background without affecting UI responsiveness or game FPS.
  • Notification Pill in Header: A sleek notification pill (๐Ÿš€ Update Available) appears automatically when a new release is detected. Clicking it takes you directly to the latest download.
  • Manual Check Button: Added a ๐Ÿ”„ Check Updates button in the status bar for manual checks.

โš™๏ธ Configurable Auto-Restore on Game Exit

  • User Preference Checkbox: Added an Auto-restore closed apps when game exits toggle in Tab 2 (Game Library & Auto-Watcher).
  • Gamers' Choice: Keep background apps closed when you finish gaming for maximum desktop cleanliness, or have them automatically reopened as before.

๐ŸŽฎ Multi-Companion Process Support

  • Multiple Launchers per Game: The per-game companion field now supports comma-separated executables (e.g., Discord, obs64, C:\Tools\Tracker.exe). All configured companion tools will auto-launch concurrently when the game starts.

๐Ÿค– Auto-Watcher & Background Boost Execution Fix

  • -Wait Parameter Fix: Corrected PowerShell process argument syntax in GameWatcher.ps1 and TrayBooster.ps1, ensuring Game Mode executes immediately the moment a listed game starts.
  • Protected Game Binaries: Monitored games, game profiles, and common gaming executables (cod, bootstrapper, BlackOps6, Wow, cs2, etc.) are permanently excluded from process termination grids.
  • Hardware Peripherals Protected: Gaming hardware suites (Razer Synapse, Logitech G HUB, Corsair iCUE, Creative Sound Blaster) and critical Windows service-managed daemons are protected from termination.
