Try re-installing it - Google has several results explaining how - one of them advises to do it in "safe mode" for it to work. @Tec27 Any idea why so many of us cant get the APM live counter to show anything but zero? Mine only shows 0 too. | ||

Hmm, so I grabbed the source code, added some extra log lines, built a new binary. After some more magic, I see the cause for APM being zero. My guess is that registry type of APM field used to be DWORD but was later changed to STRING. Thus, it fails reading it and does not report any APM. I think I can fix that up tomorrow. | ||

The on-top display of sc2gears is ugly, and it shows wrong apm. For me it always shows too little value of apm. Not to brag or anything, but after 10+ years of bw I think i roughly knows how much apm I have | ||

It's not the Sc2gears APM, and its not like Sc2gears has a choice of what to display during games (if it wants to remain legit). | ||

So I have a private fix that solves reading APM value but now I see that APMValue registry has crazy values, of anywhere from zero to 800+. And I know my spam is at best 300 max, so something has changed on Blizzard side. And of course, I can find no documentation online on the actual meaning of the value. The old logic in APMAlert2 was to take this value and multiply by 1.38. This is no longer true, I think. I will have to do more testing to see what the hell this value means now ...  | ||

APM alert feature is disabled on MAC because these APM values are not available on MAC (so this program will not be ported to mac...). | ||

They will, this is third party software and illegal promotion until Blizzard has given green light specificially for this app. But on the bright "safe" side, they cannot find out about it. Worst case scenario would be if Warden thinks it's a hack of some sort. | ||

This program dates back to 2010 and I'm not sure if there's one that's been updated? Sc2gears has this feature for ages, and it's very up-to-date (latest version was just released today). The feature in Sc2gears is called On-top APM display. It also has an APM Alert feature related to this. | ||
