Can you fix the link? Because When I click download, i wait for another download button to appear, then I click it. Then theres an error. So I can't download 2.0. But I do have 1.2.1

Here are the new screenshots:)

The link was down because JackHard updated his latest version. So go and try the new build. :)

*Link Updated*

It looks good, but it's unusable.

- The window caption is a weird smudge.

- When I open a new window it has an epileptic fit (sorta vibrates - I have fade in/out disabled).

- Loses vital functionality such as being able to resize the window. Maximizing was really jumpy too.

- The window kinda slides around.. When I drag it with the mouse and then stop, it carries on for a little bit and then comes back, like it's on a piece of string.

- The blur doesn't update. It blurs whatever is behind it when the window opens, and then it keeps that blur no matter where you move it.

I have a winamp skin with glass effect that works flawlessly so I'm not sure if it's the blur effect that's causing it or if the program is just buggy :unsure:

I can't get it to work.

I open it and it takes 5 minutes to load up. Then it doesn't even do anything. It just sits in the taskbar and I'll change settings around and it'll sit there another 5 minutes and does nothing.

I pretty much had the same sad experience. Oh well.

If anyone has version 2.0, please upload to rogehost.com, because its free and you don't need to sign up. then after you upload the file, copy the download link they give you, then paste it here.

and remember: upload all the files for vystal, not just the program itself, or upload the .rar or .zip file.

Just to update the bug report, as well as everything I mentioned before, I've noticed that:

- The blur DOES update, but only when I let go of the titlebar. It doesn't update as I'm dragging the window around.

- Clicking on the titlebar makes the taskbar button disappear and reappear, and double clicking will not maximize.

- The flickering is unbearable. It's not a regular flicker, it looks more like the window is having a spasm.

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
