Before changing any settings check if your GameHub Emulator is updated to the latest version.
Do you have no internet?
That is not a problem anymore.
The newest version is 2.0.4 which lets you play games offline also.
How to update:
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for GameHub Windows Emulator.
- Tap Update if available.
2. Pick the Right Wine Version
Wine is software which specially designed to helps Windows games run on Android smoothly. BUt the problem is different games need different Wine versions. So you have to choose the right version. Using the wrong one can cause crashes or glitches.
For Examples:
- Watch Dogs 2: Works best with Proton 9.0.
- GTA V: Runs smoothly on Wine 9.5 with DXVK.
How to change The Wine version:
- Open GameHub and select your game.
- Go to Game Settings > Compatibility.
- Select the Wine version recommended for your game.
3. Fix Graphics Issues for Unsupported Processors
Do you have a phone that has a MediaTek, Exynos, or older Snapdragon processor?
There are some GPUs (like Mali) aren’t officially support the Gamehub Emulator..
Here’s is the process to fix it:
- Open your game in GameHub.
- Go to Game Settings > Compatibility.
- Under the GPU Driver, switch from Turnip to System Driver.
This small change can boost compatibility of your mobile device. But if your game is looking pixelated or runs slower, you need to switch back to Turnip drivers as it works better for Snapdragon processors.
4. Tweak DXVK for Smoother Graphics
DXVK is like a translator that helps your phone understand Windows game graphics. But using the wrong DXVK version can make your phone lag or crashes.
Which DXVK to use?
- For Newer games like Cyberpunk 2077: DXVK 2.4 (pick Normal or Asynchronous).
- For Older games like Just Cause 2: DXVK 0.96.
How to change DXVK:
- Open your game settings.
- Go to the DXVK Version.
- Select the version that is suitable for your game.
5. Use VKD3D for High-End Games
Some games like Marvel’s Spider-Man or Elden Ring require more power to play smoothly. Here’s where the VKD3D 2.13 can be used. It helps your phone to handle complex visuals and also reduces overheating.
How to enable it:
- Go to Game Settings > Compatibility > VKD3D Version.
- Choose 2.13 and save.
6. Adjust CPU Settings (Box64 Version)
Box64 decides the way your phone’s processor handles the game. So pick the right version to stop crashes and run the game smoothly.
- Older games: Box64 0.28.
- Newer games (e.g., Dragon Ball Sparking Zero): Box64 0.31 or 0.32.
If a game unable to start, try to switch between these versions in Game Settings > Compatibility.
7. Fix Controller Problems
Touchscreen controls not always give the best gaming experience. So to get the best gaming experience on your mobile use a Bluetooth controller.
Steps to enable controllers:
- Open GameHub settings.
- Turn on Controller Support.
- For games with wonky button layouts, switch to Default Keyboard and Mouse Layout under Input Mapping.
8. Game-Specific Tips
Here are some specific settings for some of the most popular games:
Game | Wine Version | DXVK Version | Other Requirements |
GTA V | 9.5 | 2.4 Asynchronous | GPU Driver: System Driver (for MediaTek/Exynos) |
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero | N/A | 2.3.1 Asynchronous | Box64: Start with 0.28; if it crashes, try 0.32 |
Cyberpunk 2077 | N/A | 2.4 Asynchronous | VKD3D: 2.13 |
9. GameHub vs. Winlator: Which is Better?
- For Low-end phones (e.g., devices with 4GB RAM): Use Winlator. It’s lighter and more stable.
- High-end phones (e.g., Snapdragon 8 Gen 3): GameHub offers better graphics and speed.
10. Still Having Issues? Try This.
- Restart your phone: Clears background apps to freeup RAM.
- Lower in-game graphics: Set textures to Medium or Low.
