Version 0.169 (In-Progress)

Note that the work on the documentation for this version is still in-progress.

API

  • Improve OBS encoders support detection using the overrwolf.streaming.getStreamEncoders() API (we added new error state for unsupported encoders EncoderData object).
  • Added the following properties to overwolf.io.paths:
    • overwolf install dir : 'overwolf.io.paths.overwolfInstallation'.
    • overwolf install dir with version number : 'overwolf.io.paths.overwolfInstallationWithVersion'.
    • obs dir : 'overwolf.io.paths.obsBin'.
  • Improved behavior when switching a video to full screen in an Overwolf native window.

Platform

  • General stability fixes for OBS and uncommon recording failures, Improved error indications when we do fail to record.
  • Added support for overlay above UWP (Universal Windows Platform) games (minecraft, sea of thieves & roblox). some of these games are still not working perfectly, and currently, the plan is to only enable Sea of Thieves for UWP in the near future.

Dev Console

  • General enhancments for the crash reports section.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the issue where native windows can be resized greater than their manifest maximum size.
  • Fixed the issue where Video elements "glitched" when switching the app to full-screen mode.
  • Fixed the issue where you got an error that you should update your graphic card drivers only AFTER the game capturing starts. Now, you get this error before the capture starts.
  • Fixed the Rocket league (Epic version) invisible cursor issue.
  • CS:GO’s "Out of Process Overlay" is no longer the only supported overlay mode.
  • We've killed the nameless Overwolf window that would sometimes appear when going in-game.

Game events

  • Valehim
    • New supported game
  • Dota
    • New info update
      • game_mode
  • TFT
  • Riot is working on a new TFT mode named "Hyperoll". The mode is currently available in the PBE servers and soon in live servers and can be detected as 1130 in the queueID.

Version 0.168 (Apr. 2021)

Note that iterations 167 to 168 were combined into a single iteration.

API

  • You can now detect if the Windows 10 Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling feature is enabled by calling overwolf.utils.getSystemInformation(). The callback object contains the HAGSEnabled property that can be true or false. Note that the user can set the HA feature on or off therough the client settings.
  • Close overwolf when closing an app: apps can now add the new 'Shutdown' permissions to it's manifest, then call overwolf.settings.setExtensionSettings() with "exit_overwolf_on_exit: true".
    • Note: This option shouldn’t be used without Overwolf’s permission.
  • Social API: overwolf.social.youtube.performLogin() now opens in default browser and using pubsub to update client.
  • overwolf.util.openFilePicker(): now returns both overwolf-url and path to file.
    **Important: note that this function signature is not backwards compatible: the url property in the callback now returns the path in overwolf-fs:// format and not in an absolute path. (the new file property returns the absolute path).
  • url-scheme: added 'overwolfstore' url-scheme - use 'overwolfstore://app/:uid/reviews/:commentId' to open a specific comment.
    This originally intended to be used as a link in emails users would get if a dev replied to their comment.
  • Some news for you on the video capture front. We added support for alternative recording resolutions. More info in our Video capture best practices guide.

Platform

  • General partner reports on redash - now you can export your reports to CSV.
  • OW browser redirects: allow to open tab and redirect back to overwolf-extension when origin URL is at 'externally_connectable' and to tab was open from the same extension. See more details in our OAuth integration guide.
  • App UTM params: Until now, UTM params tagged with the installer were saved to the OW database only for new OW installations. Now, they are saved to the DB in an app context, also for existing installations. (should be sent with 'InstalledApp' analytic).
    • The parameters will be passed as command-line arguments in case overwolf is installed - more info about UTM params on our Referral ID Guide.
    • In addition, for security and privacy reasons, the app sees only its context. Meaning, Your app will not be able to read other app's UTM params. You will get empty strings.

Dev Console

  • Subscriptions
    • Added support for dark theme subscription plan page (coming soon)
    • Added the option to edit the Xsolla payment page background image
    • Added filters and improved sorting for your subscribers list
    • Bug fixes
  • Release management
    • Improved UX

Bug fixes

  • DirectX 11 games should no longer minimize when spamming Overwolf windows.

Game events

Version 0.166 (Mar. 2021)

API

  • The disable_cleanup flag in the manifest.json no longer deletes the app's files in the %Localappdata%/Overwolf/Extensions folder.

Platform

  • Overwolf will now restore installed apps in cases where the local database got corrupted.
  • Updated OBS to version 26.1.1. - now we have the latest and best recording capabilities.
  • Improve the OBS crash reports.
  • Overwolf Appstore as a default extension - So the Overwolf Appstore has all grown up, it is now a default extension within Overwolf. Most of you won’t even notice a change, and that’s good, but under the hood, there are several big differences.

Dev Console

  • Export data to CSV.

Version 0.165 (Feb. 2021)

Note that iterations 163 to 165 were combined into a single iteration.

API

  • overwolf.media.videos.addWatermark() watermark file now supports absolute/local path to a file in the extension directory.
  • Max recording resolution is now capped at 4K - OBS has issues capturing resolutions higher than that so we are temporarily limiting it until we can find a more permanent fix.

Platform

  • Increase max log file item to upload from 1 Mb to 3Mb (When using uploadClientLogs()).
  • Increase *.HTML dump limit log size to 5 Mb.
  • Change Extension crash notification Text to: "%APP_NAME% has crashed".
  • Browser inGame dragging: stop the drag when alt+tab from game. Make sure we stop the dragging when OnDragEnd is triggered.
  • New Overlay process: internal changes and enhancements. no further details will be released. Just mentioned here as it includes many internal changes.
  • App Updates - Some major refactoring to how we update our apps mostly in regards to smarter phasing.
    • When updating apps, it allows Overwolf to only download the part of the app that has changed, Overwolf then updates the app with these changes, saving a lot of time and bandwidth.
    • Diff didn’t work for apps that were being phased up until this iteration. But now it works.
    • Downloading Phased Apps From The Store - Users will get the latest app version if they are part of that app’s phasing when downloading it from the Appstore. Instead of getting the previous app version first, and only then updating to the new version (which was the case until now).
  • Windows Insider is no longer supported.
  • Updated all the license text files Overwolf uses.

Docs

  • SSO guide - how to implement "login with Overwolf" button on your website.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed: If a hotkey is defined in the manifest with no default key binding, hotkeys.get()/attempting to set the hotkey would result in an error.
  • The setting exit_overwolf_on_exit (can be set through overwolf.settings.setExtensionSettings()) no longer closes Overwolf when an app that was using that setting has crashed, however, it will still close Overwolf if the user has dismissed the crash notification or didn't click on the "Relaunch" button in that same notification.
  • Fixed an issue with the hotkeys API for apps that have their hotkeys defined in the manifest.json, but have no default binding.

Dev Console

  • Soon.

  • New flag for replay \ streaming video settings object: use_app_display_name.
    If this flag in on, when creating a video capture folder, it will use the app "short name" as the folder name, instead of using the app name from the manifest. (the app "short name" is defined in the dock_button_title manifest flag).

  • it is now possible to change the number of maximum saved log files that apps are saving with the new max_rotation_log_file manifest flag New manifest flag max_rotation_log_files - for app Log rotaion control. It allow to increase app log's file rotation (up to 40).

  • New feature: Set window zoom level - overwolf.window.setZoom().
    Now you can change the zoom factor of your window through the API (the effect is exactly like changing the zoom in a web browser).

  • The overwolf.media.audio is now considered obsolete, and will display the relevant warning in the console when using it.

  • We marked several functions and APIs as OBSOLETE. Soon, we altogether remove them from the docs and from the API itself. Note that you should get a warning in your dev console when using one of the obsolete functions.

Platform

  • WebServer: overwolf.web.webserver now allow CORS.
    Now the built-in OW webserver sends the correct CORS headers (Access-Control-Allow-Origin) to client.
    It's useful for case when you need to pass some data (ex: authentication token) from your website to Overwolf app. More info here.

    We have added to the Dev Console a new tab: "Subscription". When clicked, two options will appear:
    • Plans - you can edit the subscription plans you already own: title, price, description, period, status, and assets (that'll be shown in Overwolf's app store).
      For now, you can only edit current plans. To create one, please ask your dev-rel manager.
    • Subscribers - you’ll be able to edit each subscriber expiration date and status (active/canceled/revoked/invalid).
  • You can now see your app's URL to the Overwolf store listing directly from the console.
  • To make our apps more transparent to users, we added the option to configure if you have ads, subs, and if the app is free. This will be shown to users on the app store.
  • You can now see which tags are enabled for your app when searching for a game. To add more tags contact your dev-rel manager.

Game events

Version 0.153 (Aug. 2020)

Note that iterations 150 to 153 were combined into a single iteration.

API

  • overwolf.utils.openUrlInDefaultBrowser() - Now allows extra behaviour. Right now "skip_in_game_notification" is the only option. When set to true, the alert notifying in-game users that their browser is about to open will not display.
  • Add to overwolf.utils.enums.eStorePage - Now you can Open the requested app’s reviews/feedabck page in the Overwolf Appstore.
  • overwolf.windows.getCurrentWindow() now returns also the monitor id.
    Now you quickly determine which monitor the window is displayed.
  • New manifest flag - process_name.
    using one simple flag in the manifest, app developers can now differentiate their own apps from the rest of the OverwolfBrwoser.exe process rubble in the Task Manager.
    By adding your custom "process_name" to an app manifest, all the processes related to the app ads are now running with the name given them by this flag.
  • Added extra info to the overwolf.settings.hotkeys.onChanged API, so it’s consistent with the overwolf.settings.hotkeys.get function.
  • The "file" param is now optional when calling overwolf.social.discord.share(). Instead, you can use the "message" param to include a URL of a file that you want to share.

Platform

  • Disabled Dev Tools as a default.
    From now on, when clicking Ctrl+Shift+I on a window will NOT open the developer tools. (Even if the disable_dt manifest flag is set to false). The only way to enable it back is by changing a registry key.
  • Allow pin to the taskbar (and launch the app + app icon):
    Now you can pin an open app to the taskbar, and the app icon will not change to the Overwolf icon, and the pinned app can be launched from the taskbar. (even if OW is closed)
  • Non-logged in app installations - We have reverted the need to be logged into Overwolf in order download and install apps.

    Now you can easily create, delete, or update files on your extension's dedicated storage space.
  • Allow apps to request opening the hotkey settings for a specific game. An example:
    • Current hotkey URL:
      overwolf://settings/hotkeys#hotkey_name_in_manifest.
    • New hotkey URL:
      overwolf://settings/games-overlay?hotkey=hotkey_name_in_manifest&gameId=game_id.
      game_id is optional.
