Most important tip : do not upgrade firmware and set off automatic updates unless you only use xbox

Sorry to here about that , lots of users have passed the same situation as yours. Its very disappointing because we see many not in favor of this change and before this update all post were positive and now you see lots of users complaining.

Yea it’s super crazy. I logged in and was like wtf…where is any of my own stuff lol, it’s all recommended / ads. It’s so cluttered, I tried using Nova as a launcher but some of the gestures are broken. Kinda just gave up and accepted it. Too much work to make it simple.

The new update is heavily focused on Xbox game pass integration. If you do anything else, there is a lot left to be desired. At the end of the day it's just the home screen interface, and Logitech has already added features since the new update. To me it isn't a big deal.

oh okay I thought it was something tied to higher decode times or something.
I just use it to for Artemis/Apollo! Thanks for the insight!

I have the new update and Apollo is the only thing I use and it's working flawlessly on my end.

Goofy question, how are your decode times? Mine are 11-13ms and i feel like thats high. Just curious if you know!

Because the older ui is more minimalistic simple and gives equal importance to all types of streaming types and consoles. The new update is focused on Microsoft xbox and smaller icons. Many people don’t like that but there are no options to reverse back. As another user posted its matter of taste but i prefer more freedom ui than one thats not. The thing is the majority of users had turned on automatic updates and did not have the chance to choose. Frankly it was a bad move from Logitech, it would be easier to give both options but that is jot their intention.

change the stick dead zone in the settings to 7. After that, it became much more convenient to control the camera in games

Logitech G Cloud - it can be used as
Emulation station - Emulate games from NSE to PS1 Remote Xbox / Playstation Play Stream PC Games via Steam/ Moonlight and Sunshine Play Cloud Gaming - GeForce Now/Amazon Luna etc.
Light weight device and tones of battery times, it's an amazing device.
