v0.16.3
Game mode. Everything in v0.16.0 through v0.16.2 still applies.
New
- Game mode (Setup tab, off by default). Start a game and LlamaForge unloads your models; quit it and they load again. A game is anything running from a Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox, Riot, EA or Ubisoft game folder, any program name you add, or (Windows) an app in exclusive full screen. Launchers themselves don't count.
- Exceptions: tick the models to keep loaded (say, a small embedding model); every other model is unloaded, including one a client loads mid-game.
- No flapping: it checks every 5 s, needs two sightings to start and waits ~15 s after the game closes before reloading, so splash and loading screens don't trigger it.
- Untick "load them again" to leave the GPU empty afterwards.
- Discover shows VRAM in use next to the fit rating, so you can see what's already taken before you download.
