It was cool for the 1st day.. and then I restarted the PC. Every time I restart, OW fails to startup, it askes for admin confirmation for some update. Every time!

Also, there is no auto-update option (is it automatic?).

The download file should contain the version number (like any other utility program on the planet).

Well, so far it looks pretty cool. Is there a way to add an application that I want to run to it?

 

For example, I like to play music while I game sometimes, so it would be nice If i could add my file sharing app (Ares) to this thing so I can play songs I want without having to alt tab.

 

If this is not possible you should consider it .

 

Hi sungodra,

Thank you for your feedback! Overwolf is all about building the most friendly and useful app for gamers. Your feedback is important to us and will be considered.

I can tell you that we are planning to add a music player in the coming versions so stay tuned :)

Sorry about that...

What OS are you running?

Rift is currently supported in Windows7 / Vista. We added XP support in the coming version which is about to be published in 2-3 days.

If you're still having a problem, please drop us a line on our forum so we could it sort it out.

Thanks for your interest,

I am, however, very intrigued about the video-recording. I just hope it's a decent quality (and without too much lag).

 

Hey kattehus,

We've just made some significant improvements to the video recording feature, all of which will be available in the next version (should be published in a few days).

In the coming version, we've added a Full-Size recording option (woo hoo!). This means you can record your game at maximum quality (the resolution of your video will match the resolution of your game). In addition we've added an option for you to specify a custom frame rate (FPS).

If you're into video recording, plz check us out... ;)

Stay tuned...

Hi Meh,

Overwolf is based on microsoft.net technology and needs it to be installed on your computer in order to run. The .net framework is normally included when you install windows, but in some cases it is not. 

Please download and install the microsoft .net framework version 3.5, and then install Overwolf.

Thanks for your interest (and sorry for the hassle...)

Hey BTrayaL,

Let me try and clear thing up:

1) Admin confirmation- The admin confirmation is required in order to support some games that run in a special mode called admin mode (Overwolf checks whether you have an "admin game" installed, and if you do, the admin confirmation window will pop-up).

This is not a failure, but rather a normal behavior for the scenario mentioned above. However, we realize this message might be very annoying, and we're working hard to eliminate it...

BTW, these messages are affected by your User Account Control Level, which you can change if you choose to do so. (Changing the UAC to "Never Notify" will eliminate these messages). Please note that the UAC settings affect other application as well, and it is entirely up to you whether to change them.

2) Automatic updates  - Overwolf checks for new updates each time you run it, and it automatically updates itself.

3)  Version number - Can be found under Settings\General\About. (click on the tool-ranch button next to the main dock button to open the settings window. Click on the General category and then click on the about button)

Hopes this helps,

Alon

I know where to find the version of what I have already installed, it's pretty standard for every program out there.

I was talking about a version number in the actual file you are downloading for an install.

For example "mmorpginstaller_0.17.122.exe" instead of just "mmorpginstaller.exe".

Also, as I was saying, a tick option for "auto-updates", and the option to look for an update whenever I want to (maybe I keep my PC on for a week without restarts, what then, no updates?).

As I am writing, there is no info about version changes. The latest I could find is version 0.15.115 on the forums (sticky), and I have version 0.17.122

P.S. Please, do not missunderstand me, the program has some great ideas, that will make happy pretty much every gamer (especially with some TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/other support).

I am just pointing out the bad things, so in the future, this little piece of software will be even better :)

Does it run on 64 bit OS? I've downloaded the app and tried to install it but so far it is installing for over an hour...still nothing!

 Question though, what is the game in the screenshot up there?

I'd like to know that aswell.

Sorry if this was asked already, but will it eventually allow users to chat on Facebook and not just read News/Status updates?

Hi lagerchobg,

I apologize for this, Overwolf should run on a 64bit OS without a problem. The installation process normally takes no more than 1-2 minutes, so clearly we have an issue...

Our support guys will contact you shortly via PM in order to sort this out .

Hang on... ;)

Hey Benthon,

Yes, Facebook chat is definitely in our pipeline, and please feel free to ask for whatever you like :)

BTW - we're just about to complete a facelift to the Facebook widget. Stay tuned.

Looks like Cabal Online to me

Nice App!  I love the skype capabilities, just an fyi for everyone running raptr with this...turn off the in-game overlay options for raptr or it could freeze your game if you alt tab.

Hi gostly, thank you for your feedback ;)

I would love to know on what games this happens.

Does this support City of Heroes?

I will try it out if so.

*edit*

I see it dosent. Ahh well, no use to me then for now.

No fatigue at all.

Diablo 3 around the corner.

Modern Warfare 3 in Nov.

Battlefiend 3 in Oct.

I honestly don't care about the release date anymore. If it's sometime in Q1/Q2 2012, no biggy.

I was excited to play SWTOR. However, after learning about all the limitations and directed gameplay, I speak against it quite often. But I'll still buy it and play it for a few weeks.
