Hey community,

I have some great news to share with you all. As many of you know, I have a deep passion for creating Windows apps that enhance the gaming experience. Making Windows better and improving PC gaming have always held a special place in my heart. Today, I'm excited to introduce my latest creation: CompressorX!

CompressorX is the continuation of my love for building great utilities for PC gamers. It's designed to optimize your gaming setup and help you reclaim valuable disk space from the ever increasing size of modern games.

As a token of my appreciation for the incredible support from the community, I'm offering owners of Borderless Gaming the chance to claim a free copy of CompressorX! Simply sign in to our website to claim your copy (limited supply available).

Most importantly, I encourage everyone to check out CompressorX on the Steam store. Your support means the world to me, and I hope you find CompressorX as valuable as I do. Visit the CompressorX store page to learn more and make your purchase.

If you don’t yet own Borderless Gaming or CompressorX, you can save 15% by purchasing the new Core Utilities bundle:

Thank you for your continued support!


NOTE: there will not be any ads or links to CompressorX or future Core Utilities in the Borderless Gaming UI; this announcement is just to promote the new release.

- Reduced the binary size by 50 MB by using Windows API codegen.

Speaking of reducing file sizes, I'm happy to announce that I have another project coming to Steam - CompressorX; two years ago I founded an AI research lab to create on-device models for various tasks. One of those models is really good at file compression, and I've rolled it into a new utility that can transparently compress your Steam library, restoring gigabytes of space on your disks, while letting you still play the game.

Wishlist it on Steam!

A fun note: it uses the UI framework I've been building for all my open source Windows programs to modernize them, so once it's launched and we've collected community feedback it could be making it's way to Borderless Gaming very soon.

Other fixes:

- Fixes a crash when Borderless Gaming is running in the background
- Fixes a crash caused by a weird Windows API bug on Russian systems

- Added support for Microsoft Store / Modern Windows Apps



- Fixed Steam and other Windows built-in programs showing up in the process list.
- Added a workaround for Unreal Engine 3 based games
