    Moments

    • Added 50MB and 100MB clip size options for Discord share and Export. Discord Nitro subscribers can get much better-looking clips with these larger sizes.
    • Added a “Show all clips” button after the first 50 clips in the Moments gallery. This gives a massive performance boost for users with 100+ clips.
    • Fixed a bug that would show newly-saved clips as 0:00 duration.
    • New Moments autoclips will be named to show what triggered it. For example, the 3K+ autoclip for CS:GO will be saved with the name to “Autoclip: 3+ kill round”.
    • Roblox installed from the Microsoft Store is now detected and captured properly.
    • Screen-captured games that are moved to another monitor will have the capture restart on the new monitor.

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Fixed one major case where GG wouldn’t load for some users. This bug was caused by certain non-standard folder permissions on user PCs. If you were seeing this bug, please try again with 4.0 or higher.
    • The “SteelSeries Capture Service Launcher” process should no longer run if Moments capture is disabled. With this change, there is no Moments related processing that occurs at all when Moments is ‘off’.
    • Shared or Exported clips will keep their native resolution when sharing or exporting, instead of getting upscaled to your capture resolution.
    • Newly exported clips will get a small quality increase.
    • The fix for CS:GO and other screen-captured games choosing the wrong monitor from Beta is now available for everyone
    • Fixed a bug when clicking the a GIF in the Effects menu would add a GIF multiple times
    • Fixed the light bar not working on MSI GE66 and GE76
    • Fixed extra files not being deleted when uninstalling GG

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Moments capture is now correctly defaulted to off. Some users erroneously had Moments capture enabled without turning it on themselves, but now capture should only start if it’s been explicitly enabled.
    • Fixed a crash when placing the start of a GIF before the clip trim area

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Moments overlay is now smaller. Additionally, the graphic should scale with the clip resolution, so no more giant overlay on smaller resolution clips.
    • Disabling Moments capture is now clearly shown with an icon in GG’s main navigation. As always, if Moments capture is disabled, no games will be captured and game performance will be completely unaffected.
    • Effects: make perfect GIF loops! Dragging the start and end points of a GIF in the timeline will ‘snap’ to the next loop of the GIF. Really handy – we love this change.
    • Effects: clicking the ‘Moments clip’ label in the timeline area will scrub to the beginning of the clip
    • Effects: any empty text effects will be removed from a clip, instead of displaying nothing
    • Effects: hovering over an added effect will highlight the corresponding timeline layer, and vice versa
    • Effects: fixed the editor shortcuts still being active while typing text inside text effects (apologies to the letters J and K)
    • Capturing more Vulkan-based games should be fully supported
    • PCs with multiple video cards, especially laptops, should now get the more powerful video card chosen for capture encoding
    • Fixed an issue where screen-captured clip footage would be all black
    • Fixed a case where a horizontal scrollbar would appear in the gallery at certain sizes
    • Engine: fixed an issue wherein selecting the “Default” binding on the CPI button on the Rival 3, after the CPI button’s binding had already been changed, would incorrectly select Mouse Button 6 as the Default.

    If you’re opted into Beta

    • Experimental fix for CS:GO and other screen-captured games choosing the wrong monitor in multi-monitor setups.

    • Fixed an issue where League of Legends wasn’t saving autoclips or showing events inside saved clips
    • Effects: the duration of newly added GIFs will be a single loop (unless they’re under 1 second long)
    • Moments tour capture step now has a link to the official capture issue article
    • Moments tour can now be skipped from any step

    Here’s what we changed:

    • New clip effect: GIFs! Search Giphy to add your favorite reaction GIFs to your clips from inside the Effects menu. Hype.
    • Duplicate effects. Really helpful for making text captions.
    • Text effects: text editing is now center-aligned by default.
    • OLED notifications for Moments have been turned off by default. These notifications cause some users with OLED devices to see a CPU usage spike during game launch. We’re looking into it, since we want these back on ASAP. You can still turn them on in Settings -> Notifications.
    • Fixed a bug where turning off all Moments OLED notifications would still disable animated GIFs on device OLEDs while gaming, and the lighting would blink & reset on game launch.
    • Fixed Minecraft Java Edition not getting detected correctly

    GG up to date with Engine 3.20.0

    • Fixed an issue causing high CPU usage on Macs when certain devices were connected
