Note: Npcap is still required for capture. Install Npcap from https://npcap.com/#download before launching the app, leave administrator-only access unchecked, and enable WinPcap API-compatible mode during setup.

Notes

• Support diagnostics ZIPs remain local files and do not include packet captures, saved run history, settings JSON, or account credentials.
• If capture does not start, reinstall Npcap with WinPcap API-compatible mode enabled, confirm administrator-only access is unchecked, then restart Hero Siege Companion.
• Some users have reported not seeing SZ Details on vote reset. Please reach out on discord to report.

Hero Siege Companion 0.2.5

Hero Siege Companion v0.2.5

v0.2.5 is a large quality-of-life release focused on Past Runs reporting, loot filtering, item visibility, themes, support diagnostics, and capture reliability.

Npcap is still required. Install Npcap before launching the companion, leave admin-only mode unchecked, and enable WinPcap API-compatible Mode during setup.

Highlights

• Added a much richer Past Runs view with CSV export, Discord-friendly summary copy, run tags, expanded run details, report presets, configurable recap sections, linked Item Filter groups, top-drop limits, and resource drawers.
• Added new full-app and compact themes: Demonsteel, Voidglass, Reliquary, Cyberpunk, and Quicksilver, plus separate full/compact appearance settings.
• Added theme accent, background texture, foreground fill, theme export, and starter theme template support.
• Folded recent Item Filter matches into the Item Timeline with a Hide unfiltered option and clickable filter-match labels on matching drops.
• Added many missing item icons and item aliases from verified wiki.gg sources, including Satanic, Heroic, Angelic, and Unholy items.

Live Tracking And Loot Filters

• Item Timeline can now show recent loot filter matches directly in the drop list.
• Filter-matched timeline rows show which Item Filter group matched and can jump back to that filter.
• Added Hide unfiltered to focus the timeline on recent filter hits.
• Removed awkward per-row “Totals” style presentation from the Item Filter summary flow.
• Improved handling for missing custom sound references by showing a clear fallback instead of silently losing the reference.

Past Runs

• Export runs as JSON or CSV.
• Copy Discord-friendly summaries for a filtered result set or an individual saved run.
• Tag saved runs and search/filter history more easily.
• Expand saved runs to inspect matching drops and resources.
• Configure report presets, summary cards, rarity recaps, tracked item groups, linked Item Filter groups, resource drawers, and top-drop limits.

Themes And Appearance

• Added full and compact theme selection.
• Added built-in themes: Dark, Demonsteel, Voidglass, Reliquary, Cyberpunk, and Quicksilver.
• Added per-theme accent color controls.
• Added background texture controls.
• Added foreground fill controls for tuning panel opacity without dimming text.
• Added theme import/export and starter theme template export.
• Added significant theming documentation

Capture, Settings, And Support

• Capture startup is more resilient: if the native capture module cannot load, the app stays open and shows clear Npcap setup guidance instead of failing at launch.
• Added clearer support diagnostics with redacted summary copy and local diagnostics ZIP export.
• Support diagnostics do not include packet capture files.
• Configuration import/export now has clearer scopes for app settings, Past Runs settings, report tracking, loot filters, sounds, and research data.
• Imported loot alert sounds can be exported as ZIP soundpacks.
• Embedded sounds are only included in configuration JSON when the Sounds scope is selected.

Notes

• Hero Siege Companion remains local-first: no account login, no cloud sync, and no automatic uploads.
• Magic-find counts use the server-provided magic-find flag, this is not well-understood (mf could potentially mean something else)

• Added UAT-confirmed item lookup several cards / items.

Soundpacks

• Export imported loot alert sounds as a ZIP soundpack from Settings > Sounds.

Past Runs

• Added Compare mode for reviewing the recent matching slice against the full matching set.
• Added JSON export for the current search/tag-matching slice.
• Configure Report can reuse existing Item Filter groups.
• Custom Past Runs recap groups now support item-type rules.
• Report aggregation uses shared exact-item-first filter matching.
• Saved drop types are inferred from lookup data so report rules can classify older saved drops more reliably.
