1920x1080, setting in hearthtracker is set at that as well.

This is on Windows 8 if that matters.

Oh an in your instructions it says "Make sure your Hearthstone is running in Windows mode" I image this is supposed to say windowed mode right? (I've tried windowed and fullscreen, not tracking in either)

I haven't gotten a 9 win while it's been open, but I have busted out a few times.

edit: trying new version now

Yeah so the problem seems to be that it is not recording losses, and therefore never storing stats...

Click me

I ended 6-3 and hearthtracker still shows 6-0 with no stats on the right side.

Heya,
first of all thanks for the great effort!
I'm kind of curious where your programm is different from Hearthstone Stats?
I saw your thread as well as the original HS Stats one over at Hearthpwn and started using "the other programm" over yours just because the thread had more replies/there had already been a few updates there.
Are there any big new things with your programm?
HS Stats fx. does pretty often "forget" single games. Like usually it records them, but about 10-20% of the games are skipped. I don't know if this is because I "fast forward" the winning screen or whatever... but if your program solves that, it would be awesome! ^_^

Okay, downloaded it and have it running now.
Let's see how well it works. ^_^

Also...
would it be possible to implement some sort of option to track the stats of a specific deck (Play Mode, obv) seperately?
This would really help a lot when playing around with decks in constructed.

e: I don't mean it like the app should be able to see which deck I choose and then automatically record the stats seperately for the correct deck. This sounds like it would be quite hard to do with this approach. But maybe make it possible to "create" decks in the app, so it knows it then shall save the stats somewhere else. Or something. I hope you get my idea... ^^ : )

hmmm this is weird, i tried to run HearthTracker with your screenshot and it did recognize your score correctly, and it is able to recognize everything else on your Hearthstone.

1. was vs Shaman (and the victory/defeat) correctly recognized, was it the last game you played before you took the screenshot?
2. did you try to use the Diagnostics section? What did you see when you press Visualize now, did the larger box covered the Hearthstone screen (if so, did it cover the titlebar as well?)

Lastly, the most likely cause i can think of, is the ways to calculate window position on Windows 8 is changed slightly, making the scan zones slightly off. Try downloading this config file, extract and replace enUS.xml in configs/gameLangs

I have tweaked the positions of the scan zones for losses, made it scan for slightly larger areas. Hopefully this can solve your issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Please do let me know after you've tested it.

I understood what you mean. I like your idea, I think this is the most meaningful way to track Play mode. This is one of the reason why I am yet to implement play mode tracking. I will look into that.

Don't recall the answer to one, but I've just finished an arena run, went 8-3, and it's reporting 8-0. However, now i'm noticing that it seems to actually be detecting the loss, but not putting it into the total score. The "Latest Game" field is correct in showing "Goes first, vs Warlock, 0-1", but that is not represented in the "Arena Score". Visualize is showing a blue box around the entire Hearthstone window (excluding the titlebar), and does show a yellow box around victory/defeat.

Click me

Why aren't you scanning the main arena page with total win/losses instead of game results? Seems like a better idea to me as it would avoid problems with not reporting scores if people click at the end too fast.

I'm afraid it doesn't work for me. It counts only wins, same as for Angry_Fetus, also after finishing an arena and starting the next one, it actually doesn't save the stats...

First of all, thanks for all the work you've put into this. Been looking for some kind of stat tracker since I got sick of doing it manually a week ago.

Now, I've been having trouble with both this and the 'Hearthstone Stats' app mentioned a while back (but I'm obviously not asking for help with someone else's app) and I'm pretty sure it's because I use two screens (I'm pretty sure because when I went back to one screen it all worked fine).

I don't want to disable my other screen every time I play Hearthstone so I was wondering, if anyone else had a similar problem, how they fixed it. I noticed 'Angry_Fetus' said he had a similar problem with dual screens a while ago, but his problem seemed to fix itself based on what he said.

When I use the Diagnostic Tool to see where the app is trying to read, it highlights an area of the right resolution size, but on my secondary screen (Hearthstone is on my primary) and I can't seem to get it to draw on my primary screen (unless I disable one screen, which as stated previously made everything work fine). Even moving Hearthstone to my secondary screen (which would be as annoying as disabling one screen every time I wanted to play), where the Diagnostic Tool was saying it was trying to read, does not work.

Language and Resolution settings are all fine, like I said, it works fine when going back to one screen, I just can't seem to get it to work with two, any help is appreciated.

I am having some problem with stattracking aswell. Visualize now correctly visualizes the hearthstone window, but for some reason it doesn't track stats and for some reason the last seen seems to display random numbers (for example last seen 5 minutes) even though the hearthstone is running and even though i press visualize now.
I am trying to use it on lower resolutions and at least 1280 x 960 is not working, trying 1152x864 next.

Long time follower, first time poster here.

First of all, big thank to you to provide such a nice tool to the community!

I have used it to record only two arena runs and it is working as intended. Thumb up!
I would like to provide the following feedback.

1) Some users (like me) may accidentally close the app. Maybe adding an option so that it can minimize and work in the background.
2) Other than the nine classes listed, there is a question mark followed. It has recorded a 9-0 but I never had that run. It is possible it recorded when I was viewing a youtube video. Maybe providing an option to clear some of the false entry would be good.

Otherwise great work! Keep it up!

Have you considered the idea of a deck tracker? Basically the program will upload the arena deck, in each game it will display what's left in the deck by automatically striking out the cards drawn/played. I'm too lazy to do it in a spreadsheet, and the lack of graveyard makes it difficult to track the play history.

I am considering that however it is pretty difficult (if not impossible) to match against 500+ cards in real time.

It is possible to filter out non-related cards by classes, however that being said, it is still A LOT to match against.

Well the deck will consist of 30 different cards maximum, maybe for starters have the user put in the 30 mannually, then automate the rest? I'm assuming you are doing text recognition instead of images?

you can first check the mana cost of the card, and this is a first filter + the class.

a) I run dual monitors, does this matter?
b) I alt-tab throughout games at times
c) i have no idea

I start the tracker before i open hearthstone and i run heartstone in windowed mode.

Yeah, this uses a lot of cpu cycles. 7.2%. Image processing really doesn't seem like the best method for determining if hearthstone is running.

Also, does this allow you to take notes? I don't find win rate too important because I know I'm constantly changing my decks and there's a lot of variance in my opponents and how strong I perceive my deck to be.

to manually override that, you need provide really accurate offsets.

can you give me the resolutions of your both monitor? i think -50y is not needed, just leave it as 0.

its 1920x1080 on both monitors. If i leave it at 0 the blue borders appear do not cover the entire monitor, it misses about a cm at the top. Does that not matter?

The temporary multi-monitor offsets are not saved. They work, but it's quite annoying to have to type them in everytime I start HearthTracker.

Also, at least for me, the multi-monitor problem is when the default monitor is not monitor 1.

One more thing.. is it possible to add 2 buttons that say "win" or "lose"?

That way, if the program didn't catch the end state of a game, we can manually tell it whether it was a win or a loss, without having to restart.

Nice work megablue! Here are a few minor comments on existing features... Having the close button minimize the app is bad UX. Every reasonable OS allows applications to be minimized. The matches screen should sort by date and time, not by match id, and there should be a way to go back in history more than 100 matches. I understand HearthTracker is just a side project.

Edit: Also you can't edit Arena match results from unknown -> win anymore.

For some reason, HearthTracker has always had trouble detecting whether I'm in ranked or unranked mode. When I'm in the Play screen, even if I don't do anything (not even moving the mouse), HT will randomly toggle between ranked/unranked by itself. Usually it gets it right just before the game starts, but sometimes not.

Now with 1.1.4, it shows a little popup when the mode changes, and with the new super fast scan mode, the popups just keep going and going... It's quite funny, if not so annoying. :p

The "Finding Opponent" screen gets picked up as Deck 8 every time for me. Sometimes it will revert back to the correct deck between the time the "Finding Opponent" screen disappears and when the match starts (maybe half the time), but it will usually stay as deck 8 for the match. I'm in windowed mode at 1680x1050.

Love your app, thanks for all the hard work! Just wanted to ask, to see if I'm just missing it: is there currently a way to easily break down stats like 'win‰ 1st vs 2nd', or other stats more than just straight win ‰ or wins per class?

Edit: oh and I also wanted to mention that my experience of live arena tracking, it seems to only update the active arena class and record sporadically, and often seems to lose the record and/or the class played. This has led to some arenas needing to be manually entered (because it has missed the third loss, or thought it was the second, etc) . Is there any plan to allow for editing live arena situation?

On January 23 2014 20:04 megablue wrote:


Nope, there isn't an option for the stats breakdown yet. I will probably implement something like that in upcoming versions.

I assume you're overlaying the stats on your stream, there is no way to edit the live stats yet. I can probably include some form to edit the live stats, but I think it wont be needed as the next version will have much faster scan rate - making it almost impossible to lose track.

for now, it is recommended that you wait for the notification to show before you move to the next scene.

On January 24 2014 07:03 Ganashal wrote:


Unfortunately I'm not a streamer, I'd love to have the time to, but alas

My concern was rather due to the fact that the game only records an arena run at 3 losses (or 12 wins but I'm a LONG way from that being relevant to me...), and I've had a few runs not be registered because the app didn't realise that I'd had my third loss, or had missed the second, or whatever.

So with that in mind I kept track of when it would notify me about my class and record, and saw that it doesn't seem to always scan for this. I have tried to go onto the Ranked mode, let it register that, then go back to Arena, and waited, and it registered that I was in Arena mode but didn't at all pick up the current situation. I'm not sure if I'm the only one noticing this, it's running on my wife's old laptop so it may simply be that the computer is the issue, but I thought I'd mention it.

There is only one situation I've noticed where it has failed repeatedly: recognizing the end of the match. To be fair, I usually click past the end pretty fast but I've had it fail at least once when I left the Victory/Defeat message up for a good 10+ seconds, waiting for the app to see it. I don't remember if it has happened on Defeat but it has definitely happened on Victory.

Anyway, when this happens, I have to input the entire match manually, which bothers me a bit because the app already knows everything except the result! And I never know what the time and duration of the match were, whereas the app does.

So I have a feature request: please add a menu item to allow me to tell the app, "the live match has ended". I noticed there are already menu options to modify the "last match" but these do not affect the ongoing live match. I imagine the simplest solution would be to add a single menu item that sets the win/loss status of the live match to Unknown. Then I can set it to Win/Lose using the "last match" menu options. The more time-consuming but possibly more user-friendly solution could be to add a copy of the Edit menu, but applicable to the live match rather than the last match.

Also, I should mention that I, too, get the bug where the app keeps reporting the status of the last arena run when I finish an arena and go play ranked (this is v1.2.1). A little distracting but no big deal.

Thanks again for making this very cool and useful app!
