PhasmaStrap v2.17.9

• Get help on Discord: the support links now point to the PhasmaStrap Discord server instead of GitHub issues.
• PhasmaStrap counts how often features are used (a clip saved, a preset shared or imported, low-end mode turned on) so the project knows what people actually use. Counts only, never what was in them, and all of it stops when you turn off "Enable sending of analytics".

Note: this build is unsigned (this fork does not have access to the SignPath code-signing service the upstream Bloxstrap project uses), so Windows SmartScreen will likely flag it on first run. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed.

Requires the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime. If you don't already have it, install it before running PhasmaStrap.exe or clicking Play in the browser - if it's missing, launching straight from a browser link can fail silently instead of showing the usual "install the .NET Desktop Runtime?" prompt you'd get from double-clicking the exe directly.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.8

• Statistics and crash reports now go to PhasmaStrap's own server instead of the upstream Bloxstrap project's. They are still anonymous, still off when you turn off "Enable sending of analytics", and the privacy page at phasmastrap.com/privacy says exactly what is sent.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.7

• Updates and the News page now come from PhasmaStrap's own server (api.phasmastrap.com) instead of GitHub's, which only allows 60 requests an hour per IP address - with a few people on one network, update checks used to quietly fail. If the server is down, PhasmaStrap asks GitHub like before. Downloads still come from GitHub.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.6

• Choose what double-clicking the tray icon does while Roblox is running (PhasmaStrap › Startup & updates): open settings (the default), bring Roblox to the front, open the tray menu, take a screenshot, save an instant replay, show server details, copy the invite link or clean RAM.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.5

• Fixed: logs could miss their last lines when PhasmaStrap closed right after something happened (like an update), which made problems hard to track down.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.4

• Fixed: auto-update often didn't update.
  • It skipped the update whenever another PhasmaStrap was running (the tray icon, the settings window or a game), which is most of the time.
  • The new version couldn't replace the installed one while it was running, and gave up silently. It now swaps it in anyway.
  • A failed or cut-off download was kept and retried forever. Downloads are now checked against GitHub's size and checksum.
  • If an update still fails, you now get a message instead of nothing.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.3

• Fixed: "FastFlag profile is not active" when it was. PhasmaStrap now checks the flags file the open Roblox actually started with, instead of a note that could go stale when Roblox was still closing during a launch.
• Fixed: the proxy said everything was patched when Roblox wasn't using it.
  • The status now says whether Roblox really connected through the proxy, and tells you to restart Roblox when it was opened before its certificate bundle was patched.
  • Opening the Networking page no longer quietly creates a new certificate.
  • Every PhasmaStrap process picks up a new certificate instead of signing with an old one.
  • The "Roblox rejected the proxy certificate" notification only says "re-added" when it re-added something.
  • Fixed: the proxy would have stopped working in its certificate's second year.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.2

What's new in 2.17.2

• Fixed: the settings window couldn't be resized after it reopened maximized and was then made smaller.
• Includes 2.17.1: monitors show their real names in the in-game resolution settings.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.1

What's new in 2.17.1

• Monitors show their real names in the in-game resolution settings (e.g. "1. 25G3ZM · 1920x1080 @ 240Hz · main") instead of "Generic PnP Monitor", numbered like Windows' display settings.

PhasmaStrap v2.17.0

What's new in 2.17.0

Overlays

• Fixed: the overlay sometimes didn't show up. With Instant Replay on, the replay recorder and the overlay both asked Windows to capture the screen, and a process only gets one per monitor - whichever came second failed. The overlay now uses the recorder's picture instead, and the FPS counter and crosshair don't need a screen capture at all any more.
• FPS is now the game's real frame rate - the frames the game actually shows, not how often the overlay redrew itself. (It can't read higher than your monitor's refresh rate.)
• Customise the HUD (Rendering › Overlays › HUD look and position): position (any corner or the middle of the top or bottom), distance from the edges, background opacity (down to no background), colours, size, rounded corners, one-line layout, labels on or off, text shadow - with a live preview.

Instant Replay and screenshots

• Clips up to 5 minutes.
• Exact resolution and frame rate: 1080p always records 1920 × 1080 (even in a smaller window), and the frame rate you pick is the clip's real frame rate. 1440p added.
• Your microphone, unprocessed: no noise suppression or other Windows processing, and you can pick which microphone to record.
• Thumbnails for saved clips, and the lists update by themselves when a new clip or screenshot is saved.
• Captures window: every screenshot and clip in one place, with search, filters (game, date, type), sorting and rename.
• Screenshot an area: optionally, the screenshot hotkey freezes the game and you drag over the part you want.
• Edit button on the "Screenshot saved" and "Replay saved" notifications.
• Make GIFs from screenshots (screenshot editor › Make GIF): zoom, pan, or a slideshow of several screenshots.
• The Capture page is split into tabs: Screenshots, Instant Replay and Storage.
• Fixed: small or cropped screenshots saved from the editor came out black.
• With graphics card encoding, the "takes a few seconds" notification is gone - clips save instantly.

Other fixes

• In-game resolution (Rendering › Performance): the monitor and resolution lists work again, and you can give a game its own resolution.
• Discord › RPC Advanced has settings now: join button type, custom text per game, Roblox Studio on your profile and translation.
• The settings window reopens at the size and place you left it, maximized if it was.
• The News page shows what changed - including this list.
