HawkEye 1.7.1

HawkEye 1.7.1 for Windows.

Community messages get an emoji picker, reactions, 16 Talon stickers and a GIFs tab. You can sign in with your @name and a HawkEye password, connect your X account for an X badge, and the team can now reach you with banners at the top of the app and a calm maintenance screen. The welcome film ends on a fiercer hawk, The Nest works on a laptop trackpad, every outfit dresses the 3D Talon, and "Start your first run" works over The Nest again.

New:

• Emoji in Community messages: a new button in every message box (Global Chat, messages and servers) opens an emoji picker with search, groups, your recent emoji and skin tones. The emoji goes in where your cursor is.
• Reactions: point at a message (or press and hold on a touch screen) and pick an emoji. Counts show under the message; tap your own to take it back.
• Talon stickers: 16 of Talon’s own stickers in the picker’s Stickers tab (waving, laughing, starstruck, to the moon and more). Tap one to send it.
• GIFs in Community messages: search from the picker’s GIFs tab and send one with a tap. GIFs play in the chat and pause with a click; with reduced motion on they start paused. The tab says coming soon until GIF search is switched on.
• A HawkEye password. Sign in with your @name and your HawkEye password: it opens the same account as your Discord, Google or username sign-in. Find it on the sign-in screen under “Have a HawkEye password?”.
• After you sign in with Discord or Google, HawkEye asks you to set your HawkEye password in a small card. Choose Later to do it another time; the app is never blocked.
• Settings, Account & Security shows your HawkEye password in Ways to sign in, with Set password or Change password and the date it last changed.
• Connect your X account in Settings, Account & Security to show an X badge on your profile and next to your name in chat. HawkEye keeps only your X user ID and @handle, and Disconnect removes the badge.
• Messages from the HawkEye team can now show as a strip at the top of the app. Info and Important ones close with the x; a Critical one (an outage or a required update) stays until it ends and shows once as a card.
• Team announcements in Global Chat now take the look of their importance.
• When the team pauses HawkEye for maintenance, you get a 10-minute countdown first, then a calm full-screen hawk that shows when it’s back and lets you in again by itself as soon as it’s done.
• Chat has automatic moderation: a message that breaks the chat rules is held, and you get a note in your bell saying why. Private messages stay private: only how fast they are sent is checked.
• The welcome film ends on a new, menacing hawk. Settings can play the film again.
• The welcome film plays a 33 frames a second version on screens that refresh at 165 Hz (and 66, 99, 132 Hz), so every picture stays up for the same time and motion runs smoothly.
• The Nest on a laptop trackpad: HawkEye notices the trackpad by itself. Two fingers look around, a click on the ground walks Talon there, and the Left and Right arrow keys turn the camera. A mouse works as before.
• Every outfit now dresses the 3D Talon in the worlds. The 28 older looks, from the Shadow Hood and Captain’s Cap to the Reindeer Antlers and Winter Star, are modelled to their Wardrobe drawings and move with Talon through every walk, run, jump and zip line ride.
• The Moon Suit’s bubble helmet shows in 3D as clear glass round Talon’s head.
• Trading Basics teaches long and short, with an example on every card, in the run, the Read tab and two new flashcards.
• License keys and KeyAuth accounts now say Pro or Max. A Max key or Max subscription opens Max in the app at your next sign-in, and a plan change made by staff shows right away.

Improved:

• The Marketplace is easier to scan: each shop tab has a filter row (All, Free to claim, For Feathers, Yours) with counts, and card descriptions show two lines until you point at a card.
• The Marketplace is smoother: Talons in the shop grid hold still until you point at their card, and cards off screen skip drawing.
• Moving from Pro to Max (or between monthly and yearly) in the Marketplace now switches your current subscription on Stripe’s own page, which shows the difference to pay. You never get a second subscription.
• Forgot your HawkEye password? Sign out, sign in with Discord or Google, then set a new one in Settings within 15 minutes.
• The swirl on Talon’s screen in the welcome film now glows in HawkEye’s violets instead of turning pink.
• The Range intro is restaged: it opens on the HawkEye logo as its eyes light up, Talon is larger in every shot, the candles glow at their edges and the set behind Talon softens.
• The story scene “School’s closed.” was re-rendered with Orla’s new coat and the ivy on the school tower, and its film blends from one line to the next instead of cutting.
• Order Up, Snap call and Risk Math explain long, short, liquidation, R, ATR, FDV and expectancy where they ask about them.
• Error reports now include where in HawkEye an error happened, so the team can fix crashes faster. Names in file paths are still taken out before anything leaves your PC.
• If your version of HawkEye is too old to sign in, you are told so and the update window opens with the right download.
• The Terms, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy are updated for the V2 Beta, connected X accounts, reactions, stickers and GIFs. HawkEye asks you to accept the new Terms once.
• The Discord invite in HawkEye now opens discord.gg/5wh7CtRqwj.

Fixed:

• The Range intro’s “Start your first run” button (and its other buttons) now work when the intro plays over The Nest.
• In the welcome film’s second act, a moment where the screen turned one flat colour now shows the scene.
• A Max license key redeemed in the app now gives Max on any account, whether you sign in with Discord, Google or a username. A Max key on top of a Pro key keeps the rest of your Pro time for after the Max time ends.
• Your first run is one path. Talon’s tour never opens over a lesson: it waits until you’re back on the road, and it ends on the page where it started.
• Talon’s tour says how many steps it has, and the count matches.
• Every lesson count in The Range agrees: the hero, the world’s chip, the progress bar and Where you stand count the lessons open now.
• The 3D world no longer shows through Today’s practice and the Play cards under the hero.
• Enter opens the stop Talon is on, as the Start tag says. E still works.
• A road’s checkpoint opens once you finish that road’s lessons, so it never tests what you haven’t been taught yet.
• Reading Charts teaches the swing low rule that Prove it checks: a dip with 3 higher lows on each side.
• The Trading Basics finish card now says what the lesson teaches.
• Maintenance and Users stay out of the sidebar until your account’s permissions say otherwise.
• Moving to another world keeps the screen’s brightness steadier. The swirl opens more slowly and the new world shows once the camera has nearly landed.
• Talon no longer seems to jump a metre in one frame on slower PCs. Long hops between stops take a little longer.
• After a long jump between stops, the camera lands on Talon in the same frame instead of showing Talon at the edge of the screen for a moment.
• Pressing O at the top of The Range goes straight to the system view instead of two empty star views.
• In the 3D world, a click on the stage while a story scene plays reaches the world on the first click: the scene waits in the story log and a stop under the pointer opens.

Security:

• Devices you signed in on are deleted with your account, and a device not seen for 12 months is deleted on its own.
