Release info Update on Nov 03, 2026
Release notes Sorry for releasing so many versions in such a short period.
I'm trying to get everything in order before the release of World of Warcraft: Forever, as I'll be a bit less active here afterward.
However, some issues have been coming up that require attention.

Additions / Changes
• Each game now has a unique window class.
This fixes taskbar grouping. Games launched through another application, like WoW through Battle.net, will still be grouped together, as this is a Wine/Proton issue.

It also fixes pinned shortcuts. Shortcuts need to be re-created to work.

• Added a suggestion menu to the SteamGridDB asset picker.
• Now skips the SteamGridDB asset fetch when the title entry loses focus while editing a game.

Fixes
• Fixed the sleep inhibitor not being released on game exit.
• Gamepad navigation is now locked by window focus instead of running games.
• Fixed retained memory after asset downloads and dialogs.
