The story of SwissBaha, its purpose and development notes

Hello, I'm Bahadır

I live in Switzerland. SwissBaha Game Assistant began with a wish to make it easier to help friends who are not very familiar with computers. I wanted to bring game preparation and maintenance tasks together in a more understandable place. Their encouraging comments motivated me to turn that idea into an application and keep developing it.

Why SwissBaha?

I wanted a name that represents me, is memorable and is easy for people from different backgrounds to say. “Swiss” represents Switzerland, where I live, and “Baha” comes from my name, Bahadır. SwissBaha brings my name and the place I live together in a personal identity.

What is the app for?

SwissBaha Game Assistant is a Windows desktop companion that brings game preparation, system monitoring and maintenance tools into one interface. My aim is to help people manage these tasks more comfortably, especially those who prefer not to deal with many technical details.

• Keep games together: Scan Steam libraries or add custom game paths.
• Prepare for each game: Set up per-game profiles and helper applications. Choose a profile that protects communication and streaming tools, or simply launch the game.
• Preview actions: Inspect close targets before preparation starts. Protections are in place for critical Windows processes.
• Organize settings and maintenance: Back up and restore game settings, and manage caches in validated locations when needed. Cache cleanup is not required before every game session.
• Understand system conditions: Use system monitoring, pre-game checks and diagnostic reports that mask personal file paths to investigate issues.

The interface is available in Turkish, English and German. Alongside its built-in Star Citizen support, the app can also be used with other games.

The work behind the project

For me, this project is the process of turning a wish to help my friends into a usable application. Choosing useful features, considering feedback, making the interface easier to understand, reviewing test results and fixing problems are all part of that work. Improving details such as process protections, backups and use in different languages is part of the same process.

The positive comments encouraged me to continue. Recent feedback about missing patch notes also prompted me to make changes easier to follow. Thank you to everyone who tries the app, reports problems and shares suggestions. That feedback plays an important part in how SwissBaha develops.

Fixes in recent maintenance builds

• Fixed protected games and launchers incorrectly appearing as close targets.
• Fixed clipped text at higher display scaling and layout issues in smaller windows.
• Improved selected-game settings backup and restore, backup integrity checks and cache path validation.
• Improved Steam game discovery and masking of personal file paths in diagnostic reports.

Prepared for the next update

• A Patch Notes screen accessible from the main window, available offline in Turkish, English and German.
• A fix preventing a second app launch in the same Windows session from clearing the current Undo record.

These last two changes are not yet included in the Steam build. We will post another announcement when the corresponding build is available on Steam.

Thanks to everyone testing the app and sharing feedback!
