CloudGear v1.7 Update Now Available
A completely rewritten rumble engine that feels console-grade, a new Quick Launch Grid widget, and a batch of Boosteroid fixes.
CloudGear v1.7 is now available, led by two upgrades to the things players touch most: how the game feels in your hands, and how fast you get into it.
First, controller rumble has been completely rewritten. Vibration is far more responsive across every connected controller — tighter, more detailed, and now much closer to the feel of playing directly on a console or PC.
Second, a new Quick Launch Grid Home Screen widget. Add up to four bookmarks to a single widget and jump straight into any of them with one tap — a compact launcher for your favourite games, right on your Home Screen.
Plus:
- GFN: The performance overlay now stays on between sessions, instead of resetting to off each time you start streaming.
- Boosteroid: The CloudGear menu now shows whether HDR is currently on or off.
- Boosteroid: Fixed the mouse cursor being offset in certain situations.
- Boosteroid: Right-clicking no longer brings up the browser context menu while streaming.
- Boosteroid: Fixed the mouse cursor disappearing near the edge of the screen.
- Simpler renderer settings — the old video renderer picker is now a single “Alternative renderer” toggle. Leave it off unless you’re seeing graphical corruption; the older renderers are no longer maintained.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements.
