The Games Page and Per Game Presets
The Games page finds the games installed on your PC and lets you launch and optimize them from one place.
How detection works
The app scans the usual install locations and matches what it finds against a list of known titles. Anything it recognises appears in your Library with its artwork.
If a game is missing
Use Add Game and point it at the game’s program file. Games installed in unusual places, or older titles, often need this. Once added it behaves like any detected game.
Per game presets
A preset is a set of changes tuned for that specific game rather than for your whole system. Competitive shooters get settings aimed at latency and consistency, heavier single player games get settings aimed at smoothness.
Launching from the app
Launching a game here can apply its preset first and then start it, so you do not have to remember. It also pairs naturally with RIP Mode if you want background programs closed at the same time.
What a preset does not do
It does not change settings inside the game itself, and it does not touch game files. Your in game graphics options are still yours to set, and a preset is not a substitute for turning down settings your PC cannot handle.
If a preset makes things worse
Revert it and tell us which game. Presets are tuned against common hardware and yours may differ enough to matter. That is useful feedback rather than a nuisance.
Games we do not have a preset for
You can still add and launch them, and the system wide tweaks still apply. A preset is a bonus rather than the main event.
