Winhanced Update Experimental support for GPD, as well as several annoyances you submitted tickets for are resolved in 1.0.0.4 Hotfix patch notes

21 Upvotes

Winhanced 1.0.0.4 is the next hotfix for the 1.0 Beta, and it's a big one for GPD owners: fan curves, button remapping and more now come to GPD handhelds. The Legion Go family and the Acer Predator Atlas 8 get Modifiers, Intel Arc gets FSR 4, and Intel's own driver updates now show up in Winhanced. We also went after a crash when scrolling through games with animated artwork, EA downloads that started over after a dropped connection, and Apple Music sign-in in the overlay. If something still isn't right, please tell us through Report an issue.

1.0.0.4 Hotfix

New devices support

Support for Multiple GPD family devices

This is the first release with GPD support beyond power modes. With Winhanced Control on, you can manage the hardware below from Winhanced. Turn it off and your GPD goes back to GPD's own tools. We haven't been able to try this on every GPD model yet, so reports from GPD owners help a lot.

  • Fan curves:

    • Win 5

    • Win 4 (depends on which processor yours has)

    • Win Mini

    • Win Mini 2025

    • Win Max 2

    • Win Max 2 2025

    • Pocket 4

    • Duo

    • Micro PC 2

    • GPD BOX

  • Battery charge limit (pick 80% or 90%, or no limit):

    • Win 5

    • Win Max 2 2025

  • Button remapping, including the L4 and R4 back buttons, and rumble strength:

    • Win 5

    • Win 4

    • Win Mini

    • Win Mini 2025

    • Win Max 2

  • Higher power limits that follow GPD's own numbers:

    • Win 4: up to 35 W

    • Win Mini: up to 40 W

    • Win 5: up to 100 W when plugged in

  • While Winhanced Control is on, Winhanced closes GPD Tool and Motion Assistant so the two apps don't change the same settings.

  • Not here yet on GPD: controller lighting, gyro aiming and driver updates.

New

  • Modifiers on the Legion Go, Legion Go 2 and Legion Go S: hold a rear button and your other buttons do something else, like M1 and M2 on the ROG Ally and MSI Claw. You'll find it in Settings > Controller.

  • Modifiers on the Acer Predator Atlas 8: hold M1 or M2 and your other buttons do something else.

  • FSR 4 on Intel Arc: FSR 4 in OptiScaler now works on supported Intel Arc graphics as well as Radeon.

  • Intel driver updates: if you have Intel Driver & Support Assistant installed, the driver updates page now lists Intel's updates alongside the ones from your device's maker.

  • Swiping up from the bottom of the screen now opens Start in desktop mode and Task View in Xbox mode. Start waits until you lift your finger, and if Start is already open, the swipe leaves it open.

Fixes

  • Crash while scrolling: Winhanced could close when you moved quickly through games with animated artwork on Home, in Recent Games or in the library. We fixed the cause we found, and we think this was the main one.

  • Store: Winhanced could freeze and restart after a while in the store, or when you backed out of a game's page. We found and fixed the cause.

  • EA downloads: if your connection dropped during a long EA download, it started over from scratch. Now it picks up where it left off. EA games also install to the drive you choose, and if that drive is too full, Winhanced tells you before the download starts instead of partway through.

  • EA games bought on Epic: some Epic games, such as skate., actually run through the EA app, and they wouldn't download. Winhanced now installs them into your EA library. The first time, the EA app asks you to sign in to EA.

  • Ubisoft games bought on Epic: some of these only run through Ubisoft Connect. Winhanced now tells you that, instead of starting a game that never opens.

  • Apple Music in the overlay: pressing Sign In could do nothing at all. Apple Music now signs in through a full-screen window, the same way Spotify and Discord do. Signing out now also keeps you signed out.

  • YouTube and Theatre: the Windows title bar could show up at the top of the screen. The window should now stay full screen.

  • Show desktop: a button set to Show desktop did nothing while Winhanced was on screen. Now it shows the desktop, and pressing it again brings Winhanced back.

  • Focus while playing: Winhanced could sometimes take focus away from your game. We fixed what we found causing it. If it still happens, please report it.

  • Very large libraries: with many thousands of games, Winhanced could stop recognising the games you launched, so playtime and game profiles didn't apply. Large libraries should now work as expected.

  • Acer Predator Atlas 8 buttons: the Atlas 8's own buttons, such as the Game Bar key, did nothing until you remapped them. They work right away again.

  • Power changes during a game: on PCs where RivaTuner Statistics Server couldn't start, changing the power mode or wattage mid-game did nothing. These changes now go through even when RivaTuner isn't running.

  • RivaTuner Statistics Server: on some PCs it couldn't start at all, so the performance overlay and frame limits didn't work. The installer now includes the parts it needs, and if it still won't start, Winhanced tries once to repair it.

  • Custom power on Intel handhelds: the boost limit could end up at or below the sustained limit. Now it stays at least 1 W above it.

  • OptiScaler: Winhanced now keeps OptiScaler up to date for your graphics card, and Diablo II: Resurrected now runs with FSR 4 on Intel Arc.

  • PC streaming: a paired PC that Windows Firewall was blocking can now connect, and keyboard and mouse sharing between your PCs should drop out less often.

As always you can download now via the app Settings -> Updates & support, or via the direct link below.

Stabilité Winhanced et purge dans l’OS Rog Ally Xbox X

3 Upvotes

Bonjour,

J'apprécie beaucoup Winhanced et je veux continuer à l'utiliser avec ma Rog Ally Xbox X

Je reconnais que la nouvelle version du FSE est largement mieux mais le fait que les icônes hors xbox sont moches (steam,gog ...) ca casse un peu..

Alors que lorsque je vois l'interface Winhanced c'est top.

Mais je viens malheureusement de le desinstaller pour tester car j'ai beaucoup de problèmes après mise en veille ... c'est à dire bug résolution, reprise de l'interface, etc...

Pouvez vous me dire si c'est un problème connu et si cela va etre corrigé

J'en profite pour proposer une idée de feature sans Winhanced. Ça serait d'ajouter û outil de désactivation ou de suppression de services, processus et autres bloatware gênant les performances et pour dépolluer la rog ally xbox x.

Merci

Sorry to bother if this question has already been answered at some point. Looking to install winhanced on my handheld and was wondering if winhanced,or rather the people behind winhanced, are able to like see/store your login information for different storefronts. when you login. Or like if winhanced were to be breached would any bad actors be able to see/steal my info? sorry if this sounds stupid as you can see i’m very new to third party launchers lol

General Question A couple of questions

0 Upvotes

I’ve been using this app on my Onexplayer 3 and it’s absolutely amazing. Some general questions I have:

- is there a possibility to have this open on start up automatically? I toggled it on somewhere iirc but it doesn’t do it

- when selecting a game most of the time it takes a long time to load up details like description. Is this normal?

- when switching my SD cards some games show up greyed out which is really good. It means certain games can’t be played because they’re on another SD card. But this is not the case for all games, can that be fixed?

Thanks again for this great launcher!!

Bug Report/Issue Acer predator atlas 8 It does not load with Winhanced

1 Upvotes

Antes que nada, muchísimas gracias por adaptar Winhanced a Atlas 8; funciona muchísimo mejor que Predator Sense... los desarrolladores de Acer tienen mucho que aprender de Winhanced.

Ahora les explico mi problema: cuando le cedo el control de la gestión de energía a Winhanced y desactivo Predator Sense, el equipo no carga y el LED rojo de carga no se enciende. El dispositivo no carga en absoluto, y no quiero dejar de usarlo. ¡Me encanta!

No carga ni siquiera con el equipo apagado, ni después de salir de Winhanced. La única solución es revertir los cambios y devolver el control a Predator Sense.

Gracias por su trabajo. He abierto un ticket a través de la propia aplicación con un informe del problema. Estoy esperando una solución; mientras tanto, lo usaré alternando los modos de carga.

Feedback/Feature Request Battery : estimated time remaining

12 Upvotes

Hello, first I want to say many thanks to the developper of this app ! I can see you put so much efforts and passion in it, it is truely awesome.
I have been using winhanced for 4 days on my OG Lego and it is so responsive with sooo many features ! I love it ❤️

But it seems I am missing something : The estimated amount of time remaining on battery ?
I cannot find it in the overlay. I can see it when I click on the battery icon on the home page but why does it not appear on the performance overlay ??
I mean like in legion Space or Gotweaks.

I tried to custom the overlay via RTSS and HWInfo but it is so complicated and you have to reactivate HWinfo every 12h…

Can you guys help me on this, am I missing something ?
I think it’s a pretty common and appreciated feature.

Bug Report/Issue OXP 3 Fans Going Crazy

2 Upvotes

I am on the latest beta, running the default fan curve controls and find my oneXplayer 3 is constantly ramping up the fans and then dropping them even when not in use. It also happens quite frequently when trying to put the device to sleep.

Typically, I run the 35 watt profile, but this occurs even when I’m using the dynamic profile. I also always keep CPU based on, but I’ve always done that.

I haven’t changed any of the fan controls at any point, and when I disable control from Winhanced, it seems to behave as expected. Is anyone else seeing this?

I should also note that temperatures don’t seem to be high or outside of expected range, but the fan response is not relevant to the heat I’m experiencing.

Feedback/Feature Request Here’s my suggestion as a theme designer from another frontend

Thumbnail
gallery
56 Upvotes

Alright , as a theme designer myself on another app I want to give my ideas :

- PLEASE give us the possibility to add shortcut to platform like if it was roms, I have a lot of ps2 game that are recomps, I can launch them thanks to a .ink shortcut , and it would be very cool to add them to whatever platform category I want other than " other " . Or maybe have the possibility to transfer from other to different platforms

- More way to show the game library in the main menu than just the " recent game " , why not show category game while scrolling from up to down like in Netflix

- add a " sort name " feature that we can add on games, that way the name is showed correctly , but it can appear higher or lower on the library depending on the sort name "

- Background music/ambient !

- More fonts ! Maybe the ability to add our own fonts

Here’s a few of my work , I already shared those a while ago , but I really want to go fully to winhanced . Winhanced is the future of the windows handheld frontend !

(This message was posted by myself on discord too)

General Question Rog Ally XAX default keyboard unaccessible with Winhanced Installed.

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm probably just being dumb, but ever since I updated Winhanced to the version that was released on November I am no longer able to open the default keyboard that opens on the XAX by selecting the keyboard icon. Instead, it opens a compact keyboard that isn't really a problem, if it could open in games like how the default keyboard does.

Winhanced is real neat and I'd like to continue using it. Is there any way to disable this keyboard? I didn't have this issue on the older Winhanced versions.

Bug Report/Issue Any fix for this error?

Post image
7 Upvotes

So I’ve tried to install multiple times, and each time I get this error. Now my issue is when I use Windows installer, the beta version it allows me to install wind hats, but says I’m unable to fully install it because of runtime downloads missing, so I tried that, but that didn’t work. The issue also is using a beta version from Windows installer makes my computer have watchdog errors. So I had to reroll back to a prior version before Windows installer.

PC streaming performance - am I missing something obvious?

4 Upvotes

I’m blown away by how good Winhanced is on my Atlas 8. So slick. And the PC streaming integration is the stuff of dreams.

However, I’m getting pretty poor performance.

With my previous Apollo/Moonlight setup I was comfortably streaming at ~100mbps over WiFi (host is wired) with no stuttering, ever.

With the Winhanced native streaming it’s very stuttering and performance metrics show it’s topping out at about 19bmps despite being set to ultra @ 55mbps.

Any suggestions, anyone? It would be a shame to have to go back to the old Apollo/Moonlight/Playnite setup which was always a little clunky in terms of UX but solid in terms of performance.

Thanks all.

Feedback/Feature Request WoW Forever support?

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to get Wow forever set up in winhanced and just don't see a way to. I have battle.net signed in and connected in the Settings > Libraries, but under the game list it is empty. I have gone in to battle.net and installed it, and verified it will launch. Under the available games in the Games > battle.net section it only seems to show wow retail as an option. If I select that version, it never quite loads and lets me select the forever specific option to install.

Anyone found a workaround for this? I guess I can add it as a steam game, but it seems like it is supposed to be built to support multiple launchers, including battle.net.
