Note: With the recent updates users has been experiencing issues with their Anti Virus blocking this program. I'm not quite sure what caused this since not much was changed going from 1.9 to 1.9.1, except changing what target framework it was built on (v4.5.1, now changed back to v4.6.1)
Hopefully this is what was causing it somehow, else I'm kind of stumped. If you receive warnings about the Release containing a virus, feel free to compile from source code as always. Sorry for the inconvenience, I kind of hate these virus popups too, although they don't show up for me personally. It's not fun being accused of pushing malicious code onto trusting users, although I do understand your concerns.

Update: I moved all code to a new project and that seems to have cleared it all up for some reason! Hooray!

Added:

  • Automatic group (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/hourboostr)
    • Please try and direct all issues and questions you have to that group instead of adding me on Steam! You can create a new discussion here!
    • Of course you can disable automatically joining the group by setting JoinSteamGroup to false.
  • Notification of when a game session is started by user. This might be buggy, but in theory it should stop idling when you start playing on your own PC when HourBoostr is active, and it will then pick up and start idling again when you close the game you're playing. I'm kind of in a rush to get this update out due to the virus problems, so if there are any problems please report them.
  • Automatic update check. It's pretty simple, it will just get the current version available from here then compare it to the version you're running. If it's different it will let you know about it, although it won't download it for you. ;)

Removed:

  • Relogging every 4th hour

Fixed:

  • Some bugs
