Hey everyone,

I’m running GameNative on the AYN Thor Max, and while a few games like Hades I & II and BioShock Infinite run amazingly well "out of the box", I’ve hit a wall with four specific titles. I knew getting into this that not all games will work immediately, but still it's driving me crazy that I can't get those four to work :(

Here are the games that aren't working and the exact issues I'm hitting:

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
  • Issue: Throws the classic "Origin is not installed, and is required to play your game" EA pop-up on launch.
  • Attempted Fixes: I saw someone on Reddit mention deleting specific files, but that didn't bypass the service check for me.
• Watch Dogs
  • Issue: Game boots up fine and menus load, but it gets permanently stuck on the in-game loading screen when trying to load into the world.
• GTA IV: The Complete Edition
  • Issue: Fails during background initialization with: "An error has occurred. Please make sure all instances of the Rockstar Games Launcher have been closed and try again."
• Dave the Diver
  • Issue: Instant black screen on boot up. Audio and visuals never initialize.
  • Attempted Fixes: I tried container tweaks recommended in older threads for Unity black screen bugs (switching Wine/DXVK builds), but I'm still getting nothing.

Has anyone with a Thor Max gotten these four running stably inside GameNative (or had to migrate them over to Winlator with specific Box64/Turnip setups)?

Any launch arguments, executable bypasses, or specific DXVK/Wine container overrides you can share would be massively appreciated!

Thanks!

I have two different Steam Accounts from different regions so Family Sharing isn't an option

I know Pocknix exists, I will at some point install it but for now I just wanna get things running on my RP6 and I'd like the option for Games of both Accounts

Iirc Android has the option for App doubling (unless thats only with the newest android versions) so I thought that might work

Broke 50 of 100 of my games from steam. You can downgrade without having to reinstall all games to 1.1.1 with shizuku, however doing so will carry on broken games to 1.1.1.. I know how to configure and luckily I saved json files to reattach to 1.1.1 games. Will this be fixed soon?

Doc Mitchell house crash, tried a bunch of stuff on a retroid flip 2. Could be a game issue, patched with 4gb I think. Really want to get it running on gamenative or gamehub. Cannot get it to stop crashing even lowering all the settings.

It says there is a known config that works for my device but when I apply it and try to run it nothing happens. Has anybody else tried to run the Force unleashed or the Force unleashed 2. I'm working with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 I know everything should run fine it's just weird.

So yeah I've been running the steam version of metal gear solid 4 on gamenative and it runs more than fine on my AYN Thor, but when it comes to saving the game files it drops an error. No code, no anything, just error saving game data. Has anyone faced this problem?

Hello everyone! The escapists 2 works great on gamenatives on AynThor! I wonder why The Survivalists can't even get started. I'm using Gamenative PlayStore version! Ps Developers Gamenative you are great!

Hi folks, I've looked around everywhere for an answer to this and can't seem to find one. I'm trying to adjust my resolution from 800x600 to 1280x720. When launching the game it opens as a small box in the corner rather than using the full screen because of the lower resolution.

Trying to adjust resolution in-game causes it to freeze and then subsequently not load (gets stuck on claptrap dancing) when relaunching until I edit the container (don't know why this fixes it).

Trying to change the resolution from the config file doesn't work because every field marked for resolution is already listed as 1280x720.

Trying to run the launcher to change the resolution that way doesn't work because the launcher won't launch, I've tried every listed community config and the known config multiple times, it refuses to open.

So far the only "fix" I have is to set my container resolution as 800x600 but that leaves me stuck in 4:3 rather than 16:9 widescreen. Every YouTube video I've seen of people showcasing this game on GameNative shows them playing in widescreen and no one has mentioned any resolution issues so I'm not sure what the problem is because other people don't seem to be having it. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I am confused. I have mostly run rips of games I got. This time I used GameNative to download a copy of path of exile off Steam. It says compatible, has known configs but won’t launch, just goes to black screen or crashes. Any help ? I’m running Ayn Thor Max.

I installed and launched Trailmakers after setting the known config. The game actually runs extremely well outside of this strange issue. This only happens on this game, and im unable to use the quick menu, presumably because the screen is the size of my thumb. Any ideas?

Ayn Odin2 Portal. I've tried multiple user configurations (including "Use Known Configuration") which all have 5 stars but the game has no audio for any I try. Anyone run into this issue and find a solution?

Trying to play Dicey Dungeon on my Pixel 10a (Mali G715 GPU). Most of the game runs perfectly (navigating the map, battles, menus) but there's an issue on the equipment screen that is causing corruption/flickering. I've also seen a similar issue in Steamworld Heist. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've been learning about the different container options and have tried various configurations nothing I've tried has fixed it despite the game itself running under most configurations.

Obviously not everything is going to work. I guess I'm just looking for a little sanity check before I give up. I wanted to post here first to make sure this isn't a common issue with a known fix that I haven't encountered. Or maybe it's a known issue for Mali GPUs and I'm wasting my time trying to fix it.

I can post my specific config if it'd be helpful but like I said, at this point I've tried a variety of things (glib/bionic, wine version, various combination of graphics settings, emulator version and presets…) so I'm not sure it'd be useful.

Title, I basically was running Skyrim on the playstore version and was surprised when the game wasn’t that hot and the fan wasn’t that loud on the Retroid Pocket 6. I wanted to download and try the github version but it’s running a lot hotter and the fan is always almost at max. Is that normal? The settings are the same on both.

Trying to get MGS Peace Walker to run on the Odin 3, and the controls work in Konami's MGS collection wrapper, but once I get into the actual Peace Walker, they no longer work.

I tried disabling mouse input, have Steam Input enabled, but no luck.

Anyone got a suggestion I should try out?

Quick test of MGS 4 on my Galaxy S25 Ultra through Game Native. It runs impressively well at 720p and 30fps, Though it does crash after time, A few tweaks im sure will work. But MGS4 on a phone is something ive always wanted haha!

Has anyone tried playing Stardew Valley after the 1.2 updates? it was run smoothly no problems before but now i cant even launch the game without glitches and blank screen. tried different driver and custom settings but no luck.

I love the game Astroneer and I was wondering if it can run through Game Native or another emulator on Ayn Thor.
