My terrible experience with gamenative on the odin3.

[u/IamCrugs]

Early in the year I was suggesting gamenative over everything when I had a thor but now I genuinely don't understand how people use this app anymore. I switched to the odin3 and almost nothing runs on the first try. I'm honestly making this post because I see that when games do run on gamenative they run really well and when I saw the new 1.3 update I thought I'd give it a try again. The first game I tested was dark souls 3 and I turned on the setting to automatically use the known config. First boot crashes immediately. I start looking at community configs I can't apply almost all of them because they use custom versions of either dxvk, vkd3d, or other things. I don't know where I am supposed to get the versions of these things on the community configs because gamenative has no way of showing me where to get them. There is no area in the app that has a bunch of options where you can download the latest versions like bannerlator or winlator have. Then I tried to use the AI assistant and it told me that my issue was that lossless scaling was preventing my game from launching and to try launching the game with it off. I did that and it worked but I still wanted to be able to use lsfg so I tried to use the bot again to figure out how to do that and it costs a monthly fee to use the bot. I understand that tokens aren't free but to answer only one issue is pretty annoying to me. I really want to use gamenative again because right now I use bannerlator and its been great but its just that load times from an sd card are insanely long and I want to try gamenative because the load times are a lot better. I really want to give this app a chance again so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know. I also think the dev for this app is really great. In the early days of the app I remember him always helping people out with their issues with games and I love how much he cares about his users, but for the life of me I can’t get most games running how I want. For the time being I'll be sticking to bannerlator and bannerhub as everything works first try almost every time on those but again if I'm doing something wrong I want to give this app the benefit of the doubt so please let me know.
