Released just before the weekend, GameNative has finally dropped their v1.4.0 updated onto the world with some pretty interesting updates. If you’re not aware, their original pre-release dropped on October 25th with a few additional release candidates showing up over in the GameNative discord over the last two weeks. Thanks to all of those smaller updates the team at GameNative was finally able to bring GameScope to their software. And if you’re not sure what that is, it’s a new renderer on the app that will help with rendering latency, as well as introducing built in upscaling, and options for frame generation. But that’s not all to this update.
As always, if you’re looking for the full read, I recommend taking a look at their different platforms for more information. Whether that’s their Github for downloads, their website for compatibility checks, or their Discord for the GameNative community, there’s always going to be somewhere to check out. And if you’d like the 1.4 Pre-Release info, you can check out our last article on the topic.
