#WoWForever is Vanilla with improvements. Learning herbalism in the Valley of Trials?! My 20 minutes cruising around certainly has me interested in seeing more. The UI improvements (panels mainly) are nice and I think I'd be interested in seeing them transfer to modern/retail as well. #WorldOfWarcraftForever

It is pretty hit and miss on the quality of the xbox title ID matching but I finally got my first hit. I'm a bit limited because I don't have gamepass so I'm just poking away at free titles. But I did get Phantasy Star Online 2 showing up as a suggested game when I installed it. Great success! This update will bring Live Locator support to Xbox Games on your PC. #TempusGameIt

@nimgimli@gamepad.club @dawgeth@pixelateddimensions.com Awesome! I need to do some follow-up on my end because it looks like it was picked up by the nightly batch and not the live detection. So I have to troubleshoot live detection. But I’m glad to see that it worked for you! I do have some stories about these sessions showing up on the local client too as you play, but there’s a bigger infra investment to make there. Websockets primarily, and we’ve got other fun things to tackle first.

Just a small follow-up. I didn't actually deploy this to production, which answered the question, "why aren't these sessions appearing live?” I just deployed it so _now_ xbox sessions should show up as they happen. Per @welshtroll@gamepad.club I also tweaked activity pub so we no longer publish if the active duration of the session is less than 5 minutes. So no more "logging in for daily rewards" clogging up your activity pub feed. #TempusGameIt

@dawgeth@pixelateddimensions.com Dev.tempusgameit.com is the deployed development environment with dev specific installers. I’ve got a bunch of changes pending that are part of the Xbox live locator. I’ve tested them locally but I’d love to get your feedback on it since I know you use Xbox gaming much more extensively than I do. Thanks for the help here. I’ll let you know when I merge these changes down into develop!

Really starting to get some mileage out of the common UI library that I added a while ago to #TempusGameIt. It's pretty nice to have one set of UI components that can get re-used across both the website and client app.

Keeping our foot on the gas around screenshots! I've wanted this for a while now, and with the redesign around screenshots on the rest of the site, it made the site-wide screenshot page an easy lift. This update also includes a bit of polish around the screenshot tiles across the site, with the goal of making them feel more distinct and tactile. Take a peek at https://tempusgameit.com/screenshots and let me know what you think! #TempusGameIt

Hello all #TempusGameIt users!

Recently we hardened the authentication flow resulting in a more secure experience for you. Part of this effort lead to changes on the client that need your action.

We will be deprecating the older, less secure flow on the first Monday in September.

What should you do between now and then? It's very simple!

  1. Update to the latest version of the client (anything after 1.73.0)
  2. Log out
  3. Log in

That’s it!

As always, let me know if you have questions!

I fixed that annoying bug in #TempusGameIt where, when scanning, the progress bar would actually go backwards at points. No more going back in time now; the bar should now move continuously from the left to the right.

Waiting for a flight and am bored. Here's the top features in the pipeline:

  1. Fresh new local client's game page
  2. Add idle detection to linux
  3. For launcher locators, automatically detect newly installed games (no need to scan when new stuff is installed)
  4. Add GeForceNow support
  5. Track and log installation source (Steam, GoG, etc)
  6. Track and log environment (local, cloud)
  7. Multiboxing support

Got anything different you'd like to see?

@Lironah@mstdn.games @stargrace@gamepad.club @pixelone@gamepad.club I don't think that “exciting" is what I was looking for in arch. It was more of a chill exercise. Fly around, triangulate with the scope, and eventually uncover something interesting. If I want exciting, there's plenty of other opportunities in game.

@nimgimli@gamepad.club Sounds good thank you! We are calculating idle based on the state returned from the presence api but I would imagine you’re always in full screen when playing (which is the market we use to determine active). The may require more noodling on my end as well.

Totally scrapped the old ongoing sessions implementation that I had just brought up to snuff. I then went and reworked the existing session infrastructure to add in support for IsOngoing. It’s honestly the right solution but I wish I would have realized that sooner.

I’ve been ironing out client side submission bugs and testing is looking good in dev.

The goal of features over the next few weeks is cumulative. One feature should set the stage for the next.

Ongoing session changes have been migrated for the website and REST API. A quick smoke test looked good with backwards compatibility. I'll let the backend sit overnight to make sure there aren't any problems and then push the updated client in the morning. #TempusGameIt

#TempusGameIt screenshots are getting a big glow up! I've disliked the display design for a while, so I decided it needed a fresh look. Also included, you can now delete screenshots as well, so if you accidentally took a pic in game of an embarrassing fail you can now delete it! Many thanks to @welshtroll@gamepad.club for the delete suggestion, which led to the whole new look. Try it out and see! You can always take a look at my profile for a heaping helping of screenshots: @kevin@tempusgameit.com

I talked about it a bit last week, and I'm happy to announce that the latest features to drop in TempusGameIt are tracking of session "source" and "execution environment". Source is how the game was located—Steam, a folder, GoG, Epic Launcher, etc. Execution environment is fixed now to “local” but that won't stop us from pushing onwards toward GeForceNow support and SteamDeck support. Updating to the latest build will start populating these fields for you. #TempusGameIt

May or may not have seen #EverQuestLegends added to #TempusGameIt.

I do notice that they use the same executable as #EverQuest--mainly `eqgame.exe` which should be fine, but will now probably prompt review hits when scanning. But there's not much to be done there.

Taking inspiration from different game launchers to brainstorm a new view for game details in the #TempusGameIt client.

I think the current design falls a bit short.

This was most noticeable when talking about publishing screenshots. It seemed like this feature wasn't very well known, which I blame on bad UI.
