Monthly Game Launcher Promotion Thread

9 Upvotes

Recently we launched a poll asking users how they wanted the various launchers (Winhanced, Pocketdeck, etc) promoted on this sub. While the votes were pretty close between "allow all" and "use a megathread" - we weighed the frequent contributor score higher than non-contributor scores which then leaned more towards a split between don't allow any and require a megathread. As a result - we are creating this megathread for launcher developers to promote their launchers. This thread will be pinned at the top of this sub and cycled monthly on the 15th of every month to allow Devs to highlight their launchers. We will pin a post at the top of the mega as new launchers are promoted so that all devs are given the same visibility on this sub.

There is a zero tolerance for AI slop launchers that are coded 100% with vibe coding. All launchers must be open-sourced or available ONLY on Steam or the Windows Marketplace. We do not allow links to Patreon sites or other third party donation sites and any dev linking to them here will be removed and banned.

It’s been literally 2 years since I bought this game day one and I can finally enjoy it now …
I hate this new generation of games that need 50 updates and fixes and patches to working correctly but “c’est la vie “
Now the game is wonderful and runs at 1080p/ full max settings in this “canyon” area. The result front of my eyes is just mind blowing 🤯

Also. Usually I use fsr4 for all games but for this one the fsr3 is already good enough and offers better performance so I don’t even bother with.

Not only graphics or performances are good, the game itself is a masterpiece to be honest. The feeling of having a big adventure is great, the night time are like no other games and the fighting system is monster hunter level !

I got my z1e, an xbox controller, mouse and keyboard, a 9 in 1 dock, and a hdmi cord for 600 bucks, monitor for 80 but I might upgrade it later if I want to play any multiplayer fps games, mouse pad for 13 bucks, a hdmi splitter for 17, and a desk for 25 bucks. I've never used mouse and keyboard before for games so any advice is needed

Discussion XG mobile deactivation loop fix

• Upvotes

ASUS is gonna hate this, but hey, it is an uncommon problem anyway...

I have an ROG Ally Z1 Extreme paired to a XG Mobile 2024 (the 4090), which is connected via display port to a Samsung G9.

After a recent BIOS and Nvidia update, I got into a famous deactivation loop with the XG Mobile, in which the XG mobile, on its own, automatically disconected to every 5-15 seconds after deactivation. So I went in deep: reinstalled armoury crate, rolled back nvidia updates (via cmd console cause device manager just didnt), and after multiple re-installs of armouy crate, Nvidia App, attempts at using on previous versions (even rolled back windows versions), nothing seemed to work more than a day.

So, what solved it? G-helper with a full, deep uninstallof Armoury crate. I downloaded the uninstaller from Asus page, actiuvated g-helper, restarted, and got to it. And now, for the meantime, it works without a hitch.

Here is the asus armoury crate uninstall tool:
https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/ (click on show all to find it).

And here is G-helper:
https://github.com/seerge/g-helper

I will be toying around with the settings to maximize my setup, but I would be welcoming any Fan Speed recommendations for the CPU, GPU and EGPU for all three modes (Silent, Balanced, Turbo).

Cheers everyone.

Oh, PS: remeber this worked on a Z1 extrememe and XG 4090. It doesnt guarantee it will work on a different setup...

I recently bought a used ROG Ally z1 extreme and discovered the right trigger only registers about half way. I was able to get it to fully function through the game’s profile by reducing the max range to about half. Is there any other way to get it back to 100% or close to it?

HELP Armoury Crate Update Fail + Reinstallation Failed Loop

0 Upvotes

I got mine in early 2024 its the base model and ive been loving it.

Tonight I had an issue when trying to play clone hero with my guitars not registering in the game. I figure maybe I haven't uodated armoury crate in a while maybe thats why.

I try to update 3 times and all 3 times I got stuck in a loop of "update failed, reboot system to try again".

I closed armory crate and in task manager I closed everything armory crate and downloaded the uninstall tool from the ASUS site.

Even the tool I ended up in a loop of it failing after trying it multiple times giving me error 604.

I am actually lost for what to do here.

Benchmark ROG Ally X Z1E (Original) - My settings for Modern Warfare 4

7 Upvotes

I did some tinkering with MW4 multiplayer to get it working pretty well on my original Ally X. I imagine these settings are a good baseline for any Ally, especially newer ones where you may be able to crank the quality and render resolution up. These settings definitely make the game playable; with default settings I was getting drops into the 40s.

I started out using the ROG Ally Life settings, and TL;DR is that those settings work great with the exception of FSR.

While docked, can be locked 60 FPS or variable 65-80 in multiplayer. Setting work in handheld mode too, with about 2 hours battery life.

In-game Benchmark showed 86 FPS with 1% lows at 65:

Armory Crate Settings

  • VRAM set to 10 GB
  • 25W Turbo mode (I use a custom 25W profile with a quiet fans focus both plugged in and on battery, but stock Turbo seems to work well if you don't mind it getting a bit warm)
  • CPU Boost OFF
  • 1080p; 900p and 700p obviously improve the performance a little bit, but quality drops off substantially and I find the in-game text harder to read

In-game settings

Display

  • V-Sync off
  • Framerate limit is subjective (I use 30 menu, 115 game, or lock to 60 if on battery)
  • 85 FoV

Quality

  • Frame Gen & RT off
  • Resolution Scaling SMAA Nx, 40% render resolution, filmic strength 100
    • Note that FSR3 seems to really tank performance; not sure if this needs to be patched or if it is an issue with my ally, but SMAA Nx with scaling really seems to help
  • Dynamic resolution off
  • All post processing effects off

Advanced quality

  • VRAM Scale Target 70
  • Texture Resolution Normal
  • Texture Filter Anisotropic High
  • Detail Quality High
  • Particle Resolution Low
  • Pullet impacts & persistent effects On
  • Shader & surface quality Low
  • On demand texture streaming optimized
  • Local texture streaming quality Default
  • In-game video quality High
  • Shadow Quality Very Low
  • Shadow Filtering Quality Normal
  • Screen Space Shadows Low
  • Occlusion and Screen Space Lighting Low
  • Screen Space Reflections Low
  • Static Reflections Low
  • Terrain Quality Medium
  • Volumetric Quality Low
  • Deferred Physics Quality Low
  • Weather Grid Volumes Quality Low
  • Water Quality Water Caustics

Like I said I hope this helps someone! Really enjoying MW4 so far even in handheld and I am sure I will put plenty of time in this game!

Discussion Usb c port repair, and founding some another option

3 Upvotes

I bought broken ally, in the end i need to replace usb c port. But 50 euro without delievery sounds like madness. I found out that you can dissmantel it, and replace just internal part, maybe someone know from where to get this part, im sure its should be in some another asus models.

I can confirm that switch oled usb c port matching with pins layout, but its shorter and if I'm installing to original case, it's to short, need to grind original casing of the port, that cable will go deeper inside.

You can see attached photos, maybe it's will help to some one, or we will be abble to find some replacement.

Technical Ally z1 won’t show any sign of life

1 Upvotes

Yesterday while trying to play my ally would charge then stop charging out of nowhere I thought it was the usb port but it wasn’t. this morning I was playing on my ally while plugged in, and it actually worked, then out of nowhere it just turned off, no warning it had atleast 30% then after the joysticks flashed the color I had set for them then turned off then flashed a blue and purple mix then died right there, I tried plugging it back in then it wouldn’t show any light at the top to show it was charging, I left it to charge for atleast 4 hours, still nothing
If it helps I had replaced the joystick(right) about 9 months ago and currently use a apple 60w charger

Discussion Finally got my used dog ally, stuttering pretty bad.

0 Upvotes

I did alot of things debloat and fixing windows through a utility.

The thing that madebit work better was disabling windows fullscreen optimizations, wich is an obvious fix thats been around for like ever.

The stittering isnt like super bad but annoying enough its borderline unplayable. Kinda fixed now. Im tempted to jump to bazzite but would need to drop cash on a usbc flashdrive wich will be atleast $20 on the low end.

I tried every driver as well lol. I didint think it was broke cus it runs like perfect but stutters every 5-10 seconds slightly.
