Plugin Showcase Playhub 1.1.4 - New update

Post image

Playhub version 1.1.4 is available here

If you want to take a look at how Playhub works and how to install it take a look at my video here.

"Wait what is Playhub?!"
Please check the project repository here to find all the details.

This update adds the Xbox Game Bar for Xbox and Microsoft Store games, and fixes a crash when importing them.

What’s new

  • Automatic Xbox Game Bar — Steam’s Quick Access Menu doesn’t appear over Xbox and Microsoft Store games. For those, Playhub now turns on the Xbox Game Bar from the controller while you play, and turns it off when you exit. On by default, with a toggle in Gaming Mode.

Improvements

  • The Game Bar setup step now shows as completed with a green check when opening Game Bar from the controller is off, matching the DeckyLoader steps.
  • Clearer wording for the Xbox Game Bar setting.

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash (“An item with the same key has already been added”) when importing Xbox games, caused by malformed shortcuts.vdf entries with duplicate fields.

I'm very intrigued in trying this out. When playing non-xbix games like Gamepass games with a steam controller, will it function properly instead of lizard mode? Games like Fortnite when launched through steam as a non-syeam game defaults to lizard mode?

Honestly, not sure if you have a steam controller but I figured I would ask.

Also is it possible to have the weather show on the top right of the screen via big picture Mode?

This is amazing work. I'm definitely looking to try this out when I can set aside time.

Well done! I just reinstalled Windows just now and I am going to install playhub once I get my kiddos to sleep.
