After the download completes, four options appear: Play Now, and under the three-dot menu, PC Game Settings, Add to Home Screen, and Uninstall Game. The menu works with both touch and a controller; I first tested it with the Ayn Odin. Inside PC Game Settings, under Compatibility and Translation Params, there are multiple default profiles for each game, such as Extreme. If a game doesn\u2019t launch immediately, switching this to “Stable” or “Compatible” can sometimes help. <\/p>\n
When tapping “Play Now”, you must enable Bluetooth and allow location access, otherwise the required firmware and driver download won\u2019t start. A nice touch: while the drivers are downloading, the game\u2019s trailer plays in the background. After the game launches, the controller detected by GameHub appears in the top-right corner. Unfortunately, GameHub then hangs during startup. Switching to “Steam Light Weight Mode” didn\u2019t help, and neither did changing from proton10.0-arm64x2 to proton9.0-arm64x3. The same issue occurred with Amnesia: The Dark Descent, The Stanley Parable, Outlast, and Raft. No game would launch, despite the different parameters I tested. <\/p>\n
So I switched hardware and tried a tablet with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, 8 GB RAM, plus 8 GB of virtual RAM. Most titles still refused to run, but I noticed that a few games in my Steam library had a green check mark, as if GameHub was hinting \u201ctry these instead.\u201d Alongside Crysis 2, the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot had this green check. I installed it and gave it a shot. I made it to the setup menu, but it wouldn\u2019t go further, even after changing various parameters. <\/p>\n
Fine, one last chance. Two more titles were marked with green checks: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (too large to download just for testing) and Outlast. I installed Outlast. And yes: it finally worked. The game runs acceptably at 1280\u00d7720 and around 30 FPS, with only a few graphical glitches. So there are some bright spots after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the download completes, four options appear: Play Now, and under the three-dot menu, PC Game Settings, Add…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[214,49,48,140336,215,207,190,213,206,140337,216,212,208,209,7569,97173,127627,61,211,210],"class_list":["post-315052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-benchmarks","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-gamehub","tag-graphics-card","tag-laptop","tag-mobile","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-play-pc-games-natively-on-android","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-steam","tag-steam-deck","tag-steamos","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
