    Here’s what we changed:

    • Arctis owners will now have the “Chat” device pre-selected for Moments capture. This makes sure all game-related audio is captured for these devices in your clips. Change it to any other device in Capture & Sound in Settings.
    • “Trimmed” and “Shared” filters in the Moments gallery. Along with filters for all the games you’ve clipped, these new filters are available in the filter dropdown above the gallery.
    • Choose an avatar for your account from Settings! Yep, one of them is a dragon.
    • Moments gallery should load faster, especially for users with lots of clips. More gallery performance enhancements soon.
    • The “trimmed” time shown above the Moments editor timeline will now update while dragging the start & end points.
    • Be the first to know about new game Giveaways by dropping your email in the Giveaways service

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Fixed low visual quality for Moments clips saved with AMD graphics cards. New clips with AMD GPUs should look sharp and crisp – now in-line with their NVIDIA counterparts.
    • Fixed some cases of stuttering or choppy footage inside Moments clips. Clips from games with high CPU usage (like CoD or Cyberpunk 2077) should now clip smoothly.
    • Updated the profile avatar section in the top bar of GG. You can choose a username now!

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Have Moments clips where you can’t hear friends from Discord/voice chat? This update should help – fixed a bug where the ‘Chat’ device wouldn’t get recorded properly
    • Add and edit your SteelSeries account username in GG, check it out in the settings under ‘My Account’
    • New ‘Giveaways’ service space. We have seen a tremendous amount of activity with our GG gamers interested in picking up the latest giveaway codes for their favorite games. So we’ve created a space just for this!
    • Temporary copy of shared clips are now removed from your hard drive after they’ve been shared, to free up drive space
    • Reduced some of the clip size estimates, based on feedback from the the previous release, see it under ‘Clips’ in settings

    GG up to date with Engine 3.19.0

    Here’s what we changed:

    • Fixed a major capture issue with Moments. If you’ve been unable to get games to successfully capture & clip recently, try again with this update. Moments uses the dedicated video encoder chip on your video card for the best possible performance, and this bug caused the hardware encoder to not be found if your video drivers were slightly out-of-date.
