Blue Protocol: Star Resonance

Audio Alerts for Everyone!

Audio alerts are no longer limited to preview access - all users can now enable proximity-based sound notifications!

If you haven't tried it yet, here's a quick recap:

• Enable Audio Alerts in Settings
• Click the settings icon next to any filter in the sidebar
• Toggle Audio Alert on for the items you want to track
• When you get close to a tracked spawn, you'll hear a sound!

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the preview phase!

Marker Labels

@Elite Supporter You can now display text labels above map markers for easier identification. This is especially helpful for colorblind users or when navigating crowded maps.

How it works

• Click the settings icon next to any filter in the sidebar
• Set the Label option to control when labels appear:
  • Off - No label (default)
  • Always - Label always visible
  • In Range - Label only shows when within alert range
  • Hotkey - Label shows while holding the Toggle Labels hotkey

Settings

• Label Text Size - Adjust how large the labels appear on the map
• Toggle Labels Hotkey - Hold to temporarily show all labels (default: Shift+F5)

I'd love to hear your feedback on this feature! Let me know what you think, report any issues, or share suggestions for improvements.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crashes caused by circular loops and recursion during map transitions in Overwolf apps

Performance Improvements

• Optimized marker rendering to reduce lag on large maps with thousands of markers
• Improved proximity detection efficiency for real-time tracking
• Reduced redundant canvas operations for smoother updates

Smart Elevation for Elevated Games

The Problem: Some games run with admin privileges (either by choice or requirement). When this happens, the overlay can't display above them without matching privileges.

The Solution: Instead of always running as admin (old behavior) or never (v4.0.0), the app now asks you when needed:

• Relaunch as Administrator - Restart the app elevated for this session
• Always Run as Administrator - Save the preference for future launches
• Open Desktop Mode - Use the companion window instead of overlay
• Close - Dismiss and continue without overlay

New Dashboard Setting: Added "Always run as administrator" toggle in Settings → Startup. When enabled, the app will automatically elevate on launch (no UAC prompt for admin users).

A small indicator badge appears in the dashboard header when running elevated.

Other Fixes:

• Fixed player position tracking for Blue Protocol Star Resonance SEA client (StarSEA.exe) @Blue Protocol: Star Resonance
• Fixed brief console window appearing when checking startup settings
• Improved app startup reliability

Audio Alerts for Tracked Items

@Elite Supporter You can now get sound notifications when tracked items appear within range on the live map!

How it works

• Enable Audio Alerts in Settings
• Click the ⚙️ settings icon next to any filter in the sidebar
• Toggle Audio Alert on for the items you want to track
• When you get close to a tracked spawn, you'll hear a sound!

Settings

• Alert Range - How close you need to be to trigger the alert
• Show Range on Map - Display a circle around your player to visualize the range
• Alert Sound - Choose from 4 different sounds (Chime, Ping, Beacon, Soft)
• Volume - Adjust how loud the alerts are
• Preview button to test the sound

I'd love to hear your feedback on these features! Let me know what you think, report any issues, or share suggestions for improvements. I want to optimize and polish this before releasing it to everyone. Your input helps make the app better for all users!

Filter Settings Popover

Each filter in the sidebar now has a settings icon that opens a quick settings popover!

• Per-filter icon size - Adjust the size of individual filter icons on the map
• Per-group icon size - Adjust the size for all filters in a group at once
• Quick access to filter info and audio alert settings

Bahamar Highlands

You can now select Bahamar Highlands including Deepreach in the map selector. I've added most of the locations, but I guess some are still missing. I couldn't test the detection in-game and need your feedback if it's working for you.
