  What's new

  This release brings major improvements to save management, multiplayer networking, library organization, and the user interface.

  New

  • Added multi-account support - keep several accounts signed in with separate saves for each
  • Added multiplayer over server network - play Goldberg games together through a WireGuard tunnel managed by the server
  • Added TV mode - launch full screen with a large controller layout for Moonlight streaming hosts
  • Added console interface - a dedicated controller-friendly UI that replaces the sidebar when a gamepad is connected
  • Added save export and import - store saves as zip files and restore them to any installed or uninstalled game
  • Added game versions - manage multiple versions of the same game, update between them, and see all available builds
  • Added 3D library cards - hover effects with lighting and smooth animations when opening games
  • Added playtime tracking - record how long you play each game across all your devices
  • Added compressed downloads - fetch zstd-compressed game files to save bandwidth
  • Added admin tools - super admins can add games from folders, manage pictures, and fix misidentified entries
  • Added screen selection - choose which monitor games open on in Settings

  Improved

  • The app now keeps a backup of your saves before restoring them to prevent data loss
  • The library refreshes automatically every two minutes or when you return to the window
  • Game pages now show plain status messages like "Loading saves" instead of technical steps
  • The sidebar lists installed games with Steam icons and shows download progress
  • Settings are organized into four tabs with an Advanced section for advanced options
  • Dialogs appear over the entire page so they cannot be hidden behind other windows
  • Controllers are recognized immediately on startup without needing to reconnect
  • Keyboard input works correctly on Windows even when the window is not in focus
  • The updater checks only your fork's releases and trusts its own signing key
  • Save files for games not in the database can now be configured manually
  • The library sorts new games to the top by default
  • Game covers display titles cleanly with blue ribbons for installed games

  Fixed

  • Fixed save uploads - version IDs now prevent restoring older saves due to clock differences
  • Fixed Windows installer arguments - handles curly quotes and special characters in game titles safely
  • Fixed Steam shortcuts - unreadable shortcut files are left untouched instead of being overwritten
  • Fixed save backups - each backup or restore operation uses a lock to avoid corrupting staging folders
  • Fixed save restores - current saves are backed up before overwriting them during a restore
  • Fixed downloaded saves - archives that do not match their hash are refused before installation
  • Fixed WebDAV paths - version IDs are sanitized to prevent injection attacks in request paths
  • Fixed Linux window closing - the app stays open on NVIDIA GPUs under Wayland
  • Fixed account re-login - signing out properly clears cookies so you can sign in with a different account
  • Fixed update detection - the updater reads your fork's releases instead of upstream project releases
  • Fixed save deletion - deleting a stored version now optionally removes the local copy too
  • Fixed automatic installs - downloads install themselves and are removed after installation unless configured otherwise
  • Fixed server connection - the app connects directly to your fork's server without asking for an address
  • Fixed update channels - beta updates can be enabled in Settings alongside stable releases
  • Fixed save messages - status text now uses plain words like "Saving your progress" instead of technical steps
  • Added a menu for installed games - access Properties, Manage save files, Open game folder, and Uninstall
  • Fixed dialog clipping - dialogs no longer get squeezed or blocked by the window that opened them
  • Fixed controller detection - keyboards and mice are no longer mistaken for gamepads
  • Fixed version matching - poorly matched versions now borrow covers and descriptions from similar games
  • Fixed library layout - replaced the details popup with a dedicated page that keeps the grid visible
  • Hidden the search bar - the search input is hidden by default and can be toggled in Settings
  • Fixed uninstall process - saves are backed up to the cloud before removing a game
  • Fixed cover art - missing artwork now fills in from the best-matched version of the same game
  • Removed the Installed tab - installed games now appear directly in the sidebar under Library
  • Fixed download resumption - paused downloads resume exactly where they stopped without losing progress
  • Fixed save status icons - the cloud icon shows correct colors for uploaded, pending, or missing saves
  • Fixed folder backups - saves kept in game folders like Subnautica are now found and backed up correctly
  • Fixed new game detection - the save cloud stays grey until a game has been played once
  • Fixed download errors - error messages explaining why a download failed now appear above the game page
  • Fixed scroll bars - removed small vertical scroll bars that appeared on settings tabs
  • Fixed picture loading - admin picture lists show own images first and handle loading failures gracefully
  • Fixed network resilience - the app reconnects automatically after silent connection drops without hanging
