Game Lens – Release Notes (v0.72)

Small maintenance update focused on Windows 10 compatibility, fullscreen detection, and hotkey reliability.

• Added optional MAG capture backend for Windows 10 to enable “Hide From Self Capture” (no more recursive self-capture of the lens window). MAG supports: Crosshair, Zoom Hint, Concentration, FPS counter, Color Correction. MAG does not support AI Upscaler.
  
• Fullscreen detection added. If a game is running in true Fullscreen and the lens window is not visible, the system will show a message recommending switching the game to Borderless or Windowed. A matching note was added to the Help section.
  
• Hotkey assignment fixes. Duplicate hotkeys are now highlighted in red. Blacklisted single-key hotkeys (Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Win, Num+) are blocked; use them only in combos (e.g., Alt+1). Hotkeys used by Quick Setup (Ctrl+LMB, Ctrl+RMB, Shift+LMB) are highlighted in orange as “avoid.”
  
• Quick Setup improved: Click-Through is temporarily disabled while you manipulate the lens window.
  
• Follow Cursor improved: the mouse cursor is hidden while the mode is active.

Game Lens – Release Notes (v0.71)

Update v0.71 – Neuro Upscale
Introduces the first built-in Neural Upscaler with multiple model options. Each model trades speed for quality differently.



Test rig: Intel Core i7-11800H 2.3 GHz · RTX 3070 Laptop 8 GB GDDR6 · 64 GB RAM.

[h2]🧠 Neural Upscaler[/h2]

• Multiple neural models available; ranked from fastest 🟢 to slowest / highest quality🔴.
  
• Performance tip: use a smaller lens window and a higher Zoom. Smaller window + higher zoom = noticeably faster upscaling.
  
• Recommended to try first: AnimeVideoV3, UltraSharp, and ClearReality.
  

[h3]📜 Licensing[/h3]

• All models are open-licensed for use except UltraSharp and ClearReality.
  
• UltraSharp and ClearReality were exclusively provided by Kim2091 to Likhoi for use in Game Lens.
  

[h3]📊 Sample tests[/h3]
Screenshots comparing different models will be added here.

[h3]🟣 NATIVE[/h3]

[h3]🛠 Bug fixes & improvements[/h3]

• Improved main ON/OFF toggle logic — should “stick” incorrectly far less often.
  
• Click-Through now persists after hiding and showing the lens window again (previously could block clicks until retoggled).
  
• Minor stability and UI polish.
  

[h3]🔭 Next up (v0.72)[/h3]
Focused work on Windows 10 stability and compatibility.
