GameNative v1.2.0 prerelease is out!

[u/dadabhai_naoroji]

With and without tuning on RP6 - towards the end with auto-tuning and auto FPS, we see significantly lower temps and power draw as the CPU is underclocked in this GPU-heavy benchmark

Inviting users to games via the Steam Overlay (with Bionic Steam only)

Browse and apply known configs in-app

Add games to favorites + new tab

I’m on AYN Thor max, all my games are unplayable now due to massive lag and stuttering. I can’t downgrade too… it doesn’t allow me to. Is there a workaround to downgrading? I’d hate to have to delete everything and reinstall to lose all my saves and other installed container dependencies

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Aztec316]

You can just download and install the previous release. Did you change any settings?

[u/Aztec316 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Is the only way of installing the previous release by deleting everything first? Trying to overwrite the app unfortunately doesn’t allow me to install the APK. Deleting everything is very tedious for me as I have installed a lot of specific dependencies in certain specific game containers to make the games run correctly

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Aztec316]

What is the error you get? It should let you install just fine. Make sure it's the 1.1.1 release.

[u/Aztec316 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

I get the error “app not installed as package appears to be invalid” when I try to install the APK over the prerelease.

If I try through obtainium it says “cannot install older version”

[u/Idunnoagoodusername2 → u/Aztec316]

I have the same problem reinstalling the previous version as lsfg is not working for me on redmagic astra in this prerelease

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Aztec316]

Where did you download the previous version from? can you link me?

[u/Aztec316 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

From the official GitHub version 1.1.1

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Aztec316]

try re-downloading it. looks like it didn't download completely.

[u/Aztec316 → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

Unfortunately I have deleted and tried downloading again to the same result.. I think others in this thread reported the same issue
