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":3,"featured_media":413636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[18106,194267,18107,18102,611,18105,18101,194268,18108,10545,2290,11853,18227,53375,184164,158,18104,18103,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-413635","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-benchmarks","9":"tag-gamehub","10":"tag-graphics-card","11":"tag-laptop","12":"tag-mobile","13":"tag-netbook","14":"tag-notebook","15":"tag-play-pc-games-natively-on-android","16":"tag-processor","17":"tag-reports","18":"tag-review","19":"tag-reviews","20":"tag-steam","21":"tag-steam-deck","22":"tag-steamos","23":"tag-technology","24":"tag-test","25":"tag-tests","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115635042612582884","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
