For bug fixes, NVIDIA lists a fix for Dolby Vision content stutters, TV tuner fix, corrected PLEX playback issues, and plenty else.

You can view the full changelog below.

Upgraded Apps

  • Support to stream games on NVIDIA GeForce NOW at 120FPS up to 1080p resolution. GeForce NOW Ultimate membership required.

Resolved Bugs

  • Fixes night mode being skipped when DAP is ON.
  • Fixes Dolby Vision content stutters when frame match feature is enabled.
  • Fixes match content audio resolution while using an USB DAC.
  • Adds back HQS / Maxrate option for USB audio.
  • USB TV Tuner fix with Live Channel app.

  • I still use my Shield daily, including Geforce Now, so I am thrilled they are still supporting it

    Still wish they'd bring back the YouTube home page channel but, overall, I still think it's a great device and I really do hope it still has plenty more life in it.

  • The support is great but they really really need a hardware refresh.

    • With a custom launcher, the need is slightly diminished but I wouldn't mind some new hardware too (edit: for me, specifically, it's so I could get more than gigabit to it to help with the really high quality stuff).

      Stock launcher, it's definitely janky for sure. I have two pros and 1 regular tube one…custom launcher on all of them really improved the operation.

        • Super easy. I use the "Projectivy" launcher on my 2 Shield Pros and 1 Shield Regular. It's awesome. Once I set one up, I used an app called "Send Files to TV" (made by Yablio) to transfer the files between my Shields so I could load the same profile/menu setup on each.
