Counterwatch v2.5.0 - Experience Improvements

First-time setup should be much smoother, and several frustrating UI quirks have been cleaned up. I fixed match popout windows so they work independently, resolved a sign-in loop during onboarding, and added support for the two new Overwatch Stadium maps.


New Features

Overwatch Stadium Maps

  • Serenza Arena & Busan Sanctuary Arena: Added support for the two new Stadium maps

Startup Health

  • Slow Startup Detection: If the app's local database takes too long to load, a progress bar and optimization suggestion now appear to help speed things up

Improvements

Sign-In Experience

  • Persistent Sign-In Code: If the app restarts while you're entering a sign-in code, you'll return directly to the code entry screen instead of starting over
  • Smoother Username Setup: Setting your username now happens within the welcome flow, preventing a loop where you could get stuck being asked to sign in repeatedly

Game Integration Setup

  • Smarter Alerts: The game integration disabled alert now only shows for the game you're currently viewing
  • One-Click Enable: You can now enable game integration directly from the alert instead of navigating to settings
  • Restart Hint: After enabling game integration, a helpful hint reminds you to restart the game if it's not detected yet

Profile Switching

  • Inline Switch Prompt: The profile switch prompt now appears directly in the Live Session header instead of in the toolbar

Profile Notices

  • Collapsible Unavailable Notice: The profile unavailable notice is now a compact, expandable bar instead of a large dismissable alert

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed match popout windows not working independently, so you can now open several matches side by side
  • Fixed launcher content sometimes appearing invisible after the loading screen
  • Fixed the news progress bar rendering behind article images
  • Fixed the "Skip tour" button and step counter showing unnecessarily on single-step guides
  • Fixed getting started tasks not completing when opening windows from the toolbar
  • Fixed too much spacing between alerts and page content
  • Fixed signed-out users having no way to sign in from account settings
  • Fixed hero sessions showing heroes from other players instead of only your own
  • Fixed false "Backend unavailable" alerts caused by session expiry in long-running sessions
