If you are ready to downgrade, follow this careful guide. Note: Windows Defender or your antivirus may flag old installers. This is often a false positive due to the emulator’s kernel-level access. Proceed with caution and only from Uptodown.
Step 1: Navigate to Uptodown Open your web browser and search for "Uptodown GameLoop" or go directly to the GameLoop section on Uptodown’s Windows software catalog. Uptodown GameLoop 1.0.01 Older Versions for Win...
Step 2: Access the Version History On the GameLoop page, look for a button or link labeled "Versions" or "Older versions" (usually near the "Download" button). Click this to reveal the archive.
Step 3: Locate Version 1.0.01 Scroll through the list. You will see versions from the latest 8.x down to the earliest. Find GameLoop 1.0.01. Pay attention to the file size—it should be significantly smaller than newer versions (approx. 300MB rather than 600MB+).
Step 4: Download and Install
Click the download button. Once the .exe file is saved: No forced ads or bloatware
Step 5: Block Automatic Updates This is critical. The moment you launch version 1.0.01, it may try to auto-update to the latest version. To prevent this:
| Feature | Details | |---------|---------| | Base Emulator | Android 7.1 (Nougat) – 32-bit | | Primary Game | Call of Duty: Mobile (Season 1 – “Battle Royale” launch) | | Keymapping | Basic but responsive custom keybinds | | Graphics Mode | DirectX (default), OpenGL as fallback | | RAM Allocation | ~1.5–2 GB (user-adjustable via settings) | | CPU Cores | 2 cores (minimum, could be increased in engine config) | | File Size | ~350–400 MB installer |
You cannot simply install an older version over a newer one. The installation will fail. Better performance for low-end PCs
| Feature | 1.0.01 | Latest GameLoop | |---------|--------|------------------| | Installer size | ~350 MB | ~1.2 GB | | RAM usage (idle) | 800 MB | 2.1 GB | | Ads | None | Yes (fullscreen & in-app) | | Android version | 7.1 (32-bit) | 9.0 & 11.0 (64-bit) | | Keymapping | Basic | Advanced with macros | | Multi-instance | No | Yes | | Official support | Discontinued | Active | | Uptodown availability | Yes | Yes (latest also archived) |
In the world of mobile gaming on PC, few emulators have achieved the prominence of GameLoop (formerly known as Tencent Gaming Buddy). Developed by Tencent, it is the official emulator for popular titles like Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG Mobile, and Genshin Impact. However, as software evolves, newer versions often bring unwanted changes—bloatware, increased system requirements, bugs, or removed features. This has led to a dedicated niche of users seeking out GameLoop 1.0.01, one of the earliest stable builds, and platforms like Uptodown have become essential archives for preserving these older versions.
