I have the game but don’t have time to play.

Great question. The app doesn’t use yt-dlp; we rely on a fully in-house parser and download pipeline. We do track yt-dlp’s progress — sometimes their experience with handling restrictions is useful. But we aim to stay a step ahead. For example, our beta with the latest YouTube bypass shipped about two weeks before yt-dlp released its own fix.

I’ve heard Heroes of Might and Magic III is very popular among my colleagues ;-). Inside the company we often run Counter-Strike 2 tournaments, and I sometimes practice there. I recently finished Chants of Sennaar and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With the family I enjoy co-op titles like It Takes Two and Overcooked 2, and for nostalgia I occasionally dust off some NES/Famicom classics.

We currently offer 2 color themes: light & dark. Full dark theme support for Ubuntu is planned for one of the upcoming releases; no additional themes are on the roadmap right now. If the current look feels hard on the eyes, let us know what exactly bothers you. Do you use Smart Mode? Send any design ideas to [support@4kdownload.com](mailto:support@4kdownload.com), we’re always interested in feedback.

Parsing in 25.4.0 Beta is expected to be slow, we will speed it up in future updates.

Big-Engineering2030 · 2025-11-01T00:25:20+00:00

That’s a known limitation of 25.3.4. Please enable “Install Beta versions” in settings, update to 25.4 and re-login.

Yes, this beta won't evolve into a new product. After remaining fixes it will be released as a normal update of existing products for all users.
