New custom touch control: The Quarry
โค6๐Ÿ˜ฑ1
Edit: update to 3.2.5 to fix this bug

๐Ÿž If you canโ€™t play xCloud in Kiwi Browser (with or without Better xCloud) then youโ€™re not alone

The new Kiwi Browser version v124 caused this problem. To fix this, you need to uninstall Kiwi, then install an older version v120: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/geometry-ou/kiwi-browser-fast-quiet/kiwi-browser-fast-quiet-120-0-6099-116-release/

Donโ€™t forget to disable auto-update for Kiwi in Play Store.

This bug doesnโ€™t occur in the Android app.
Better xCloud userscript 3.2.5 is now available: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/tag/v3.2.5

- Fix crashing on Kiwi Browser version 124.x
- Fix the countdown box not going away sometimes
- Add back the option to disable the Touch control completely
- Add an option to stretch the screen to 18:9 ratio
- Update translations

โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿค“ Todayโ€™s tip for Better xCloud

If you want to save battery life & gain some performance try to turn on this Disable xCloud analytics setting.

It will disable some stat collecting tasks running periodically in the background. It also reduces a tiny bit of input lag while playing. Youโ€™ll wonโ€™t be able to notice it, but it really helps in the long term.

My laptop is broken at the moment and I won't be able to work for a few days.

Hoping the xCloud website doesn't update anything that could break Better xCloud during that time.

Which game(s) should I play during that time? Just finished the first playthrough of The Quarry.

You can now test the official Mouse & Keyboard support feature on the xCloud website (also PC Xbox app and Xbox consoles): https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/03/26/xbox-insider-release-notes-beta-2404-240321-2000/

Click on profile picture > Settings > Enable "Preview features" > Refresh page.
Switch browser to fullscreen mode when playing to activate MKB.

Of course this feature is only available for desktop browsers.

If you use No VPN userscript with Better xCloud 3.4.0, make sure to have it updated. If not you may have problems when enabling the Remote Play feature.
