Apparently, even after being warned, users keep it enabled and experience performance issues.

Faugus 2.3.0
-
Added an option to run an installer when adding a new game.
It automatically grabs the path of the game executable after the installation.Video_2026-09-10_09-02-42.mp4
-
Added an option to automatically create shortcuts when installing something through the file manager.
Video_2026-09-10_09-05-03.mp4
-
The features above are not always 100% accurate because the path is obtained from shortcuts created by Windows and sometimes more than one shortcut is created, which can cause the algorithm to select the wrong path.
-
Now you can drag and drop a file onto the launcher to start adding a new game.

Added support for Proton-Wineland.
https://github.com/nanomatters/proton-cachyosProton Wineland aims to make Windows games and their supporting applications feel at home on a Wayland desktop.
It improves launcher compatibility, fullscreen behaviour, and common window actions such as minimising, maximising, restoring, and moving games between monitors.
It also works to improve video and media playback, and the rendering of overlays or companion windows, including cases where those windows are created by a separate process. -
Reworked to allow editing the game title.
-
Show a message asking whether to discard the prefix created when canceling a new game addition.
