ExileLens 0.4.0b1

Early beta for Windows. Item Check uses your selected Path of Building for Path of Exile 2 build and shows upgrade / downgrade guidance in an overlay.

Highlights

Item Check and equipment

  • Two-handed weapons and paired offhands: When a two-handed candidate would remove your shield or change which offhand PoB equips, verdict and tooltip text now name the actual item that would be dropped—including swap-set quiver vs. primary shield cases.
  • Safer weapon and offhand evaluation: One-hand + offhand, bow + quiver, shield replacement, and two-handed weapon upgrades are measured with more reliable equipment and build-context restoration after each check.
  • Weapon-set swap slots: Item Check refines component-context evaluation for builds using PoB’s second weapon set. This release improves correctness and restore behavior for swap-slot comparisons; it does not add whole-build, cross-weapon-set automation (you still check one hovered item at a time).

Stability and reliability

  • Unicode worker compatibility on Windows for PoB subprocess output.
  • Deferred restoration and crash handling: If the calculation worker stops unexpectedly, ExileLens fails closed and avoids showing a successful result after a failed restore.
  • Non-weapon Item Check crash fix for some ring and accessory comparisons that could abort evaluation.

Quality

  • Expanded real-PoB and mandatory regression coverage for weapon/offhand scenarios, incompatible placements, and paired-offhand disclosure.

Not in the desktop app

Internal contextual proof and diagnostic enumeration APIs support engineering and automated tests. They are not a separate player-facing mode and do not compare your entire build across all weapon sets automatically.

Installation

  1. Download ExileLens-v0.4.0b1-win64.zip from the GitHub Release (published by the project’s release workflow).
  2. Extract the full folder and run ExileLens.exe.
  3. On first launch, connect your Path of Building Community (PoE2) installation and select a saved build XML.

Path of Building is not bundled. See README.txt in the ZIP for requirements, Shift+C usage, and troubleshooting.

Supported PoB source revision (tested):

  • branch: dev
  • commit: 97cb973f8a114d32010bc1a4195c170628771714

Known limitations

  • Path of Exile 2 game client compatibility is not verified in this release; only the supported PoB revision above is recorded.
  • Item Check evaluates one hovered item at a time—not every weapon-set combination across your whole build.
  • Some mechanics remain cautious or unsupported (certain jewel sockets, multi-part skills without fixtures, and cases that must show uncertainty instead of a directional verdict).
  • Beta quality: wrong or unsupported evaluations are still possible; use diagnostics and report issues via the in-app links.
