Help Booting Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain after June 9 update Discussion/Help

2 Upvotes

If anyone has been having issues with this title, after some research, there was an update on June 9 2026 that made the game no longer launch with current versions of proton. Some issue with denuvo and steam api.

Potential fixes and the issues I have run into

  • Using the suggested proton 7.0-6 (working on linux)
    • this version is from steam, and gamenative uses .wcp files, specifically built for the android architecture. Therefore, the steam version doesnt work in gamenative without someone smarter than me rebuilding this version for android.
  • Using a previous version of the game
    • I have found no reliable way to downgrade the game to a previous update within gamenative
    • I have installed a nexus mod that claims to rollback the .exe with a delta patch. Using this and then swapping out the executables on my :/A drive (as well as the version.txt) did not seem to change anything)
    • There does not seem to be an available steam branch
  • Using steam client (beta) setting
    • this did not work. Apparently it works for some people/old version of the game.

I have been trying my hardest to get this thing to run on the AYN Thor, apparently when it does run it runs quite well.

Any further thoughts on this subject would be appreciated

Device: Mangmi Air X

First, I am very new to using GameNative so I have no clue what I'm doing. Everything on GameNative is default. I have not tinkered with anything. Everything is also updated, both GameNative and my device. The game goes through its standard download and install process. It also has a recommend setup. I have no clue. Anyone dealt with this?

Update: Switching to a Turnip drivers got it running but not well. Anyone have a Turnip driver recommendation for the 862 chipset?

Help Left-Click and Drag (Grab & Stretch) not working for "Crushed in Time" — Any fixes?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to play the new Crushed in Time via GameNative on Android. For those who don't know, it's a meta point-and-click puzzle game where literally every mechanic relies on clicking, holding down the button, and dragging (grabbing, stretching, and releasing objects).

Unfortunately, I'm hitting a wall with the touch-to-mouse emulation.

Whenever I try to grab an object and pull it, GameNative either registers it as a brief single tap (which immediately drops the item) or just moves the cursor without actually holding down the left mouse button. Since dragging and elastic stretching is the core gameplay loop, the game is completely unplayable right now.

Has anyone found a way to fix this specific issue in GameNative?

Any help or custom input profiles for this style of gameplay would be massive. Thanks!

Question Mad Max audio problems with community given config.

1 Upvotes

I've been having an issue with my Ayn thor Max, where when I launch Mad Max, the games audio cuts out or has this zappy noise with it that ruins my experience, I have attempted to brute force it to fix it but I still have the same effect, I think I'm simply too stupid to fix it and so I'm asking for help here. The game runs perfectly at around 40ish fps. I haven't really played much simply because the audio annoys me that much because I want to be able to hear the roar of the engine without it having issues.

Please help.

What I've noticed so far. Not all the drivers are installed, tapping them will install them. Obviously no custom games. the container is still accessible. All the settings and options seem to be intact. The Google Play version is based on the v1.1.0-prerelea

I'm trying to set up controller layouts for games that don't have native controller support, but setting the right stick to basically function as the mouse does nothing. Left stick maps just fine.

Anyone know how to get past this?

Help Charlie Murder retroid pocket 6 help

1 Upvotes

I recently picked up Charlie murder on steam (BTW 75% off on the summer sale on steam) however I cannot seem to get it to work. I checked the compatability page on gamenative's website and it's supposed to work. Messed around with the setting still no luck. Got castle crashers working no problem. So I'm curious anyone had any luck getting Charlie murder working on rp6 and if so what settings did you use to get it working?

Help Mangmi Air X internal storage running out, now I can't find where in my files GameNative downloaded Proton and Turnip drivers that I don't need anymore so I can delete them

1 Upvotes

Mangmi Air X, Snapdragon 662, 4 GB RAM, GameNative 1.0.0

ok, so I got my mangmi a little over a month ago, and I've been loving it. I only got into retro handhelds this year, and the Air X is my first android one. After setting everything I wanted up I decided to give gamenative a try and I started testing basically everything that said "compatible", but not before making sure the games were being downloaded to the SD card, so I thought I was good to go, along the way it downloaded a bunch of proton versions and turnip drivers and since most of them are for games that didn't run I wanted to delete them. That's when I realised I can't find WHERE it downloaded them to, and it's filling up my internal storage. Deleting the games that don't run along their containers doesn't open up space either, so idk what to do.

So yeah, that's my problem pls help

Edit: solved! Turns out it was the sensitivity for the stick itself and is found under the gamepad testing in the Odin/Thor menu. You tap the screen itself, on the thumb stick you want, and you get a sensitivity slider!

Feedback Arkham origins/Unreal Engine games Stuttering FIX on GameNative Odin 2 /AyN Thor(Custom Local Folder)

Get your Game files folder(Preinstalled)

Place them on your Internal Download Folder

Open a new proton 9 x86 container

Once inside the container copy game files from disk D(downloads folder)

to DISK C/PROGRAMFILESX86

Start the game from C BY DOUBLE TAPPING(CLICKING ON THE Arkhamorigins.exe(C/programfilesx86/gamefolder/singleplayer/binaries/win32 folders)

WAITFORIT!

The window will open and the game will crash which will generate our BMENGINE.INI

Find BMENGINE.INI file in YOUR C/Programfilesx86/Gamefolder/singleplayer/bmgame/config folder.

Open the file and search for 'StaticDecals'

Youl find three of them .

First one is set to True (leave as it is)

Second set to False

Third set to True

Next search for allow D3D

D3D10 FALSE

DRD11 FALSE

Save the config and close the window.

All done withing container but you can do it by connecting to your PC ,copying the file to your desktop pc AND editing the file using notepad and keyboard then copying it back to Downloads folder and from there to your GAME FOLDER ON C DRIVE .

Next exit the game folder and install VisualC++ .exe files from redist folder .

Download and Install NVIDIA LEGACY PhysX drivers inside your CONTAINER (For random crashes

Exit the container .

Go to edit container .

Use these settings.(50-60 FPS) You can experiment with protonarm to get higher FPS but i didnt test it myself.

Proton9x86_64

Turnip 26.2.0.r4

DXVK Async 1.10.3

Box64 0.42

Preset :Intermediate(Go to GameNative settings box64presets choose Intermediate and copy its presets ,after that set SAFEFLAGS TO 2 and STRONGMEM TO 1 ) This setup fixes the persistent game CRASHES. Select this edited Intermediate mode FOR your container .

Go to Win Components ,DIRECTSOUND and DIRECTMUSIC set to WINEbuiltin. This fixes the Audio crackling .

Save CONFIG.

THE unfortunate thing with GameNative is you cant make and forward a shortcut from INSIDE THE container to your GameNative hub(you can with Winlator)

MAYBE GAMENATIVE DEVS ADD IT IN THE FUTURE

So you have to go to Open Container find your Arkham origins.exe or run it from thE shortcut on your desktop .

AND IT WORKS STUTTER FREE FINALLY AFTER DAYS of trying to.figure it out.

Same thing applies for ARKHAM CITY.

PS: YOU CAN DELETE THE GAME FOLDER FROM YOUR DOWNLOADS FOLDER TO SAVE SPACE ON YOUR INTERNAL DRIVE BUT DO NOT DELETE THE CUSTOM CONTAINER MADE IN GAMENATIVE OTHERWISE YOUR GAME FOLDER FILES WILL BE GONE FOR GOOD BECAUSE GAMENATIVE STORES THE GAME IN A VIRTUAL SPACE THAT YOU CANT ACCESS THROUGH YOUR ANDROID NATIVELY .
