GameStacker 0.8.1 is a small maintenance update focused on fixing issues introduced in the 0.8.0 release.
Several UI problems, music player issues, and Steam integration bugs reported by users have now been addressed. This update should make the experience more stable while we continue working on the next set of improvements.
⚙️ Settings
- Fix issue where navigating between settings could occasionally cause the UI to restart.
- Fix brightness slider being incorrectly disabled in the settings dialog.
- Fix brightness controls on supported Windows devices.
🎨 UI
- Improve rendering of long usernames in certain areas of the interface. Text will now scroll when focused, similar to how other UI elements behave.
🎮 Library
- Fix issue where hidden games could still appear in certain parts of the interface. Hidden titles will now only appear in the Hidden Games dialog, as originally intended.
🎵 Music Player
- Improve sorting of playlists. Playlists are now sorted by album, disc number, and track number so albums can be played in the correct order.
- The currently playing song is now highlighted with a distinct background.
- Playlists now automatically scroll to keep the current song visible.
- Fix issue where the playlist could not be focused from the player controls.
- The Previous Track button now works correctly when shuffle is enabled.
- Stopping playback now closes the music player.
- The "x of x" label now correctly shows the current song position rather than the highlighted item.
🔗 Steam Integration
- Fix release dates not being parsed for some games.
- Steam Tools (such as redistributables) are no longer imported as games.
- Regular Steam games can now use custom artwork, similar to what was already supported for Steam shortcuts.
- Steam trailers now play correctly thanks to added support for DASH/HLS video playback.
- Achievements synchronization will now retry multiple times in case of transient network failures.
- Add an achievements troubleshooting section to the README.
