How to check: open PowerShell from the Start menu and run Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\GamePilotNexus-Tester-2.74.1.exe" The Hash it prints should match the code above. If it doesn't, delete the file and don't run it.

What your PC needs
Windows
Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
Memory
8 GB of RAM at least. 16 GB works much better.
Free space
About 10 GB. The installer is about 1.6 GB, and the AI downloads another 3 to 5 GB the first time you open Nexus.
Graphics card
Not required. A graphics card with 6 GB of memory or more makes Nexus faster and lets it use a bigger AI.
Internet
Needed once, to download the AI on first launch. After that Nexus works offline.
Games
Single-player games in a normal window. See which games work.
Nexus checks your PC when it first opens and picks an AI size that fits. If something is missing, it tells you what to do.
Install in four steps
- 1
Download
Click the download button above and save the file.
- 2
Open it
Double-click the file. If Windows warns you, follow the steps below.
- 3
First launch
Nexus checks your PC and downloads its AI with a progress bar. If the connection drops, you can pick up where it left off.
- 4
Play
Open a game, pick its window in Nexus and choose Practice run. It shows what it would do without touching anything.
"Windows protected your PC"? Here's what to do
Nexus is new and its installer isn't signed with a paid certificate yet, so Windows doesn't recognise it. The warning is about who made the file, not something Windows found inside it.
-
1 Click "More info"
It's the small link under the message.
-
2 Click "Run anyway"
The publisher will show as unknown. Setup then starts as normal.
-
? Your browser asked first?
Some browsers say the file isn't commonly downloaded. Open the download's menu and choose Keep.
Stay safe: only click "Run anyway" for a file you got from this site. If you're not sure where a file came from, delete it and download it again here.
Letting Nexus use your mouse and keyboard
A Practice run only shows what Nexus would do. Real control is your choice and stays off until you turn it on:
- 1
Open Settings
Go to Settings, then Play, and find "Let Nexus control my mouse and keyboard".
- 2
Read and confirm
Read the warning and confirm to save your choice.
- 3
Restart Nexus
The switch takes effect after a restart. Turning it off works straight away.
- 4
Approve each session
Every real session still asks you to confirm Live. STOP always wins.
Stuck or have feedback?
Ask on the Discord. It's the quickest way to get help and tell us what to fix next.
Changed your mind?
Uninstall from Windows Settings, then Apps, or use "Uninstall GamePilot Nexus" in the Start menu. Your notes and settings are kept unless you delete them, and the uninstaller asks whether to keep the downloaded AI.
