Besides the color themes, we are working on a complete dark style so that Game Fire’s UI can blend with the Windows dark mode.

We have improved the way Game Fire uses to launch games registered in My Games where Game Fire launches them directly instead, they will be launched using a new module (GameLauncher.exe) that will launch games like they were started from the Windows File Explorer, this approach will fix many issues with games using anti-cheating mechanisms as they think Game Fire is a cheat or a debugging tool.

As for My Games, we have improved the integration with Steam and Ubisoft Connect, added support for Battle.net games, and added an option to refresh the games cache to fix issues with some games and to update game graphics when they change.

System Optimizer added an option to automatically create system restore points before optimizing system settings.

Also, Game Fire can now optimize Microsoft non-Windows services besides the improved optimization of third-party services and scheduled tasks.

We have improved Live Optimization by fixing issues in the Live Optimization log, improving the optimization of background processes, and disabling the alternation of the processing priority of full-screen games as this impacts FPS negatively.
