Games panel

[ZGod]

I noticed that in screenshots of the smart hub interface there were more panels than I had. I had only three and I was lacking the games panel. So I imagined it may be because I didn't create a Samsung account. So I created and enabled a Samsung account. Unfortunately that didn't give me any games panel
I was too lazy to disable this Samsung account after that.

8 days later...
I suddenly have my games panel!! Wow! Then I become nervous... did it update its firmware?! I immediately checked, turns out I'm still on 2130
Then I went into this games panel, installed some games, everything fine, now let's play.
But when I try to launch any of the games I installed, it says "Loading..." and then "Function not available".

So I've got my games panel, got my games installed. But I can't play them now. Does anyone know what could be going on?

On the Samsung forum someone wrote that they might start working after some time as Samsung would introduce this officially per region. Today I tried the games panel again and it appears the games are working now! It's sad that this seems to depend on what Samsung enables or not server side, but it'll be interesting to try these games...

What i do is that I use a US VPN server, change my tv region to US and then it appears. Hope it helps

Yeah it seems it's appearing per country. It was probably recently activated in the Netherlands. Now there's also Hello Hero being advertised here, but trying to install it gives a server error.

Two days ago they removed two useless panels. One was about "what's on TV" if you had entered your cable provider information and the other only contained advertisements for movies on one of the dutch movie services. Firmware is still on 2130, so it seems they are really changing the smart hub (application?) remotely. They had already been announcing this with a message at the top leading to a post on the Samsung site. They promised new features instead as well there, so we'll see how that goes....
