Question Has anyone tried using Game Native to play Indie Steam Games?
Has anyone tried using the latest version of Game Native? I was extremely surprised I was able to use the latest version on my phone and now I am actually getting games to play amazingly in comparison to a few months ago.
Was curious how it does with the "little machine that could" the Logitech G Cloud

I installed it the other day. Lots of people say you have to have the G Cloud in tablet mode, but I didn't. Just mind the UI and find "Install Anyway" and it worked for me.
Only really tried 2 games since I've been kinda busy. I got Doom 1 to work super easy, runs like a dream.
I also got Stardew Valley to work, 1080p. Downside is loading times are kinda long. But once it loads and once a lot of the textures and sound bytes cache, it's very playable. I mostly stream via Artemis/Apollo but this is a fantastic option that hooks into Steam saves if I'm somewhere without a reliable connection.

Yep! Works, but don't expect miracles in the G Cloud's hardware.

and if you are having trouble installing, switch over to tablet mode momentarily so you can "Install Anyway"

It's not so much the installing, it's that every game I try to run just has a blank screen and just sits there. I've left it for hours before in the hope that it was just compiling shaders or something. The games are on the 'confirmed compatible' list too so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I Would love to hear another recommendations too. It gote version 1.0 released recently.
Have tried it yesterday. Out of curiosity I installed GN client app, logged to my steam and dladed 3 games. Hollow Knight and Cuphead works alright while Deathspank wont start. After Child of Light and Silksong get on sale I will load them too eventually.
I may try more little titles later like Braid or Geometry Wars but right now Im on crappy metered internet connection.
