Then we get to the App player, and it just works alright. I literally didn't do anything and it took me there. When I didn't do anything for a bit, it automatically pulled up that game's page. It's so bad that the search bar comes pre filled with some random trash game's name, and if you remove it, it comes back. The sheer amount of sketchy garbage on that thing left me entirely taken aback. I'm immediately hit with Bluestacks X, which could not look worse if they tried.
Skipping some frustration, we get to the part where I cleared all previous data and got the thing installed. Add to that the very, VERY virus-esque onscreen popup showing you where to click once it downloaded, and I was getting genuinely concerned.

Every single time I clicked that download button, be it from their home page, support page, or help page, the file was always, always different. This is where I learn that every time you download the installer, it has a different name if you download from another page. Okay, let's uninstall and reinstall with another version.

After enabling it using Bluestack's enabler, as my PC didn't have the option for it, and rebooting.the app didn't work. Weird, since I had just done that with Google's PC Play platform, but sure. That was when it told me to enable Hyper-V. The first download worked fine, and installed mostly. I implore you to take note of how these last two are the exact same version, yet their installers have entirely different, and equally sketchy names. If you can honestly tell me that an official file with that many random characters in it looks legit, I would be beyond baffled. The installer download has a horrible name, one that looks like a virus all on its own.īlueStacksInstaller_5._native_e050a06f83454df358a40b984ddbec9e_MzsxNQ= I'll start with downloading from their website, which I had to verify 5 or so times to make sure I wasn't somehow in the wrong place. I genuinely cannot fathom what exactly went wrong with this program or its website, because it looks more akin to a v1rus than ever before. Never have I experienced such a horrid process just to get one program running. After a while, I just stopped using it and uninstalled. I felt comfortable enough with it to login using my main email. The program worked great for casual emulation from time to time, and it was nice to have. They never seemed outright malicious or shoved down my throat.
The performance was inconsistent, but manageable, and the ads weren't too bad. It was weird that it just didn't work the first time, but things happen. I could suddenly run games at higher FPS consistently. After reinstalling, things just started working. Performance never seemed stable when I tried real games, and my rig was assuredly not the issue. Eventually, wanting more than 30 fps on my high end rig, I got Bluestacks 5. Around 2 years ago, I used Bluestacks 4 a lot, though mainly for leaving games running in the background while I did other things.
