Mainline 0.20.4.1
Note from the developers
Dear patreons, while we usually only share Early Access builds with everyone two weeks after their initial release, we've decided to put version 0.20.4.1, based on 0.20.4.0, online just one week after its release, in order to address a rare but very annoying problem: the soft-brick when uninstalling HidHide.
This soft-brick problem was caused by the HidHide library on which Handheld Companion relies to hide the physical controller. It was possible that during uninstallation, a race-condition would occur with the watchdog, responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of HidHide and the uninstaller.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the community and HidHide developer Nefarius, we were finally able to isolate the problem and a new version of HidHide was immediately released.
As you may have guessed, version 0.20.4.1 is nothing other than 0.20.4.0, with the new critical update of HidHide to version 1.4.202.
Changelog is available on 0.20.4.0 post in case you missed it.

I've tried installing this version several times and it just won't open anymore. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. The app just simply will not open.
Have a look at the latest log file from HC ProgramFiles folder. It should provide clues on what's going on. Feel free to share it with us.
Disappointed that I just paid for a membership only to find that I get nothing in return...
You mean you're disappointed that there is no Patreon release every few days? The average time-frame in between two build is about a month. This build is then made public about two weeks after.
Update: Handheld Companion is not the issue. It's GHelper. For some reason GHelper completely ignores AutoTDP adjustments from Handheld Companion. They used to pay together a few versions back, not anymore. I stopped using GHelper and everything is working wonderfully.
ROG Ally here. Autotdp is no longer working on this version. Any advice?
