🔄 Game Library auto-update is live.
Database refreshed with the latest Game Ready titles.
🎮 Changed
Auto-update mechanism for the Game Library is now wired and verified. Play polls a neutral GitHub-hosted JSON on startup, computes a SHA-256 + ETag check, and atomically swaps the local copy when something changed. When new entries land you get a toast like "Game library updated: +3 new games, ~1 updated (total 634)". No prompts, no restarts, no waiting.
The library is hosted in the shared nv-uv-docs repo. Same source for NV⚡UV Play and (once ported) NV⚡UV main, so the two tools never drift apart on title coverage. Users can disable the startup check in Settings if they prefer manual control, and the "Check now" button in the Game Browser is always available.
Game Database v2.2 → v2.3. Three Game Ready additions from the May 2026 NVIDIA driver (600.x), all nvidia-verified from the DRS profile dump:
EA SPORTS F1 25 → f1_25.exe, Performance tier (DLSS 4 + Frame Gen + Path Tracing, Codemasters EGO Engine)
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight → legobatmanlotdk.exe, Balanced tier (DLSS + Frame Gen, no PT, TT Games LEGO engine)
World of Tanks: HEAT → engine_launcher.exe, Balanced tier (DLSS + Frame Gen + Reflex, no PT, Wargaming Core/Lodestar engine, esports-oriented)
Plus a small fix: 007 First Light now carries 007firstlight.exe as an alias next to its generic engine.exe process name.
The launcher uses both depending on Steam vs MS Store install.
Tier picks follow the established Play convention: Max is never assigned as default (it's a user-opt-in), Multi-Frame Generation is also user-controlled. Path Tracing games go to Performance because the workload justifies it. Standard rasterization with FG goes to Balanced.
📖 Compat
Existing settings, custom profiles, and tier overrides from v0.1.0–v0.1.4 are preserved. The auto-update writes to %LocalAppData%\NV-UV-Play\Data\GameDatabase.json so the bundled copy under the install dir stays untouched as a fallback.
If you want to disable the startup update check: Settings → Game Library → uncheck "Check for updates on startup". Manual "Check now" in the Game Browser remains available either way.
