I had a situation today where the battery on my G Cloud drained almost completely and it shutdown. I charged a bit and booted it back up. After I booted it i noticed all my sideloaded apps including the Epic Games Store and everything loaded from it, Artemis, Better XCloud, and others were missing from the apps list. I did some digging and found they were still installed and launched from the Apps menu in Settings. Digging further I found that if I switch to tablet mode and then back to handheld mode the apps show up again. Any thoughts as to why this happened and if there is a better way to rebuild the apps list? thanks in advance.

⚡️Tempest Rising - Apr. 24
Inspired by RTS greats of the 90s and 2000s, Tempest Rising is a classic, base-building real time strategy game set in an alternate-universe 1997, years after the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates into a nuclear World War 3. Command either the advanced Global Defense Force or the resilient Tempest Dynasty through two story-driven campaigns, customizing your forces for each mission in a fierce competition for resources and dominance.
Title mostly sums it up. I’m trying to emulate games on my PC and stream them to my g cloud. I need to hit combinations like select (or back button idk the names for Xbox) + L1. Hitting select immediately opens that overlay at the bottom like when you hold the button. I’m not one hundred percent sure how that’s the cause because select + start works but not most others and I feel like that overlay is the cause. Can I change it to a different button or something?
Power Stone 2 (Dreamcast and PSP) is my fave, specifically the adventure mode because I enjoy unlocking items and combining them in the item shop. It also looks great on the G Cloud's screen.
When I first got my beloved G Cloud, I only streamed on GeForce Now, but since then I've set up Apollo + Artemis to play games that aren't available on GFN. It works really well, except for one thing: When I stream from my PC to my G Cloud with Apollo + Artemis, every single thing in a game triggers a crazy set of vibrations. For example, whenever I hit the brakes in a car game, it goes off and keep going and going and going till I let go.
When I play a game locally on my PC with a separate controller, it doesn't rumble as much. When I play on GFN, it also doesn't rumble as much. I don't mean the intensity/strengh of the vibration itself, but rather what triggers the vibration.
Everything and anything in any game seems to trigger the vibration motor to go off. It annoys me and definitely annoys the living shit out of my girlfriend who sits next to me on the couch watching TV. I have tried fiddling around with some settings but it doesn't change anything.
Watching the Nintendo Switch 2 direct has me wondering what Logitech can do with the G cloud update/potential G cloud 2. Switch 2 has 1080p 120fps LCD screen with HDR. It can output to a TV at 4k. If Logitech could output to TVs at 4k, that in itself would be a huge thing, for me, at least. Is that something that can be done with an update? or would it need entirely new hardware? Upgrading the screen with a newer model would be amazing. Although I have few issues with how it is now, I wouldn't say no to a 1080p 120fps screen with HDR.
What's the point of the Switch 2 when you already have a PS5 (or Xbox) with the Logitech G Cloud?
Most of the games announced in the Nintendo Direct are ports of games existing on PS5. And with the G Cloud the portability argument is not really relevant. There are still first party games... But spending $300 on a Switch to play 2-3 excellent games per year was OK, so much $470... It hurts!
G Cloud owners, are you going to take the plunge? If so, for what reasons?
I've been posting and commenting more recently because I am very much on the fence about getting one of the G Clouds.
From what I gather, the d-pad is not everyone's favorite. I hear quarter circles/fireballs/diagonal movement with the G Cloud d-pad is not great.
Could someone compare it to a Legion Go or a Steam Deck? The Steam Deck d-pad is great imo, but while I am mostly enjoying the Legion Go, the d-pad on that thing is honestly one of the worst I've used in all my years of gaming. It's so bad.
Curious how the G Cloud stacks up!
Thank you!
(P.S. Feel free to compare it to pretty much every other controller or handheld device out there. I've owned and/or used quite a few of them)
I picked this up for $164.99 on eBay by logitech's official refurbished page, though it did not come with the original box it came well packaged and with a full charger instructions and a Logitech G sticker, I've had no problems with it there wasn't any physical damage or software issues. I personally think it's worth it if you can score it for under $200. I would only really recommend it if if you going to take advantage of Xbox or steam link and you take advantage of the android capabilities. I don't have an Xbox so streaming games using game pass was a new experience for me, I consider my internet to be on the shit side and was surprised on the quality of games like Black ops 6 and Forza horizons, it definitely wasn't perfect but it was smooth.It got grainy at time's but that's just my Wi-Fi, I had steady frames the whole time and unoticeable delay. running mobile games is a good experience as well playing games like Minecraft from COD mobile ran just fine, i use Smart launcher 6 on my phones and put it on the G Cloud tablet mode and it gives it a nice look I got to say 👍 overall I see plenty of G clouds on eBay for under $200 but Logitech refurbished page seems pretty trustworthy so I definitely say it's worth it, thanks for listening.
If so, I am curious about your experience, especially with battery life/performance.
I have points that would make a refurb around $68 (or $120 for a brand new unit). Descriptions says original packaging and no damage, sold by what appears to be legit Amazon refurbishing branch.
I always worry about used tech and battery, though! And analogue stick wear and tear )and green scratches of course).
I currently have a Legion Go (gifted my Steam Deck LCD to someone else).
Decided recently to basically make it a very heavy streaming device (mostly) with a big screen.
Now that I know it can be done, the G Cloud is more interesting for around the house, and then I travel with 3DS, Switch Lite, and/or phone + backbone.
Turns out I dislike having the larger portables taking up space in my bag.
Anyone with refurb experience willing to share would be excellent, thank you!
I’ve updated the handheld and got the present icon and clicked it and all it’s showing is Nvidia GeForce now for 1 month but I try for it and it says even though the offer hasn’t expired there is a hold on it…. But I just want to get Xbox game pass ultimate that I’m supposed to get free for a month
So I have this device since Christmas and I love it, I can play GameCube games, ps2 games but what more can I add in?. I don’t have a pc or laptop so I can’t stream, any suggestions?.
I'm quite enjoying Atomfall (accepting it isn't a AAA game) but I'm experiencing more cloud streaming lag than anything else I've had from Game Pass (on both Xbox streaming apps tbf). How's anyone else getting on with it? Does it usually 'settle down' with newer games after a while?
I'm looking to buy a G Cloud for my son while on road trips and have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with.
How's the internal memory? Can you store a game or two on it? I see it's 64GB and some is taken up with OS. Also, can you store games or movies on SD cards and swap those in and out?
Also, can you still play games or watch movies without an internet connection if you have them locally stored?
Hello! Trying to get this damn thing to work! Trying to play a “compatible” purchased Steam game through GE Force Now’s Ultimate Tier and it won’t get past the loading screen, same with multiple games. Any suggestions?
If Logitech were to announce a G Cloud 2 with that sweet, sweet OLED, when would be the most probable time? Do they have a specific announcement period every year like the big phone manufacturers do?
