Changelog0.3.0
Highlights
Highlights in fragcap 0.3.0.
v0.3.0 makes fragcap installable and lets it capture a game launched any way, not just a Steam title started through Steam.
- Windows installer (MSI). A one-click installer puts
fragcapon your PATH, installs the targets hint database, and links the npcap download page. A portable.zipand the hint database are also published, each with a SHA-256 checksum. The installer is unsigned for this release (see Installing below); code signing is tracked for a later release. - Capture any game, launched any way. A new target resolution cascade and a
watchmode capture a game by identity (its executable name plus an optional path anchor), however and wherever it starts. Modded installs launched from a mod manager, standalone titles, and non-Steam games are now capturable, not only Steam-launched ones. Runtime observation is the final arbiter and opens no process handle. - A targets hint database. An embedded, offline database seeds which client a game runs. It ships empty and grows privately from your own machine as you capture; nothing about your library is shipped or shared.
- Engine-aware resolution. Unreal, Unity, Godot, and Ren'Py installs are recognized by their layout, so the process that actually holds the sockets is found even when the launched executable is a stub.
- One schema for every artifact. Profiles are now JSON governed by a published master schema;
fragcap schema validate <file>checks any targeting or attribution file and reports every problem in one pass. - Clearer live capture. Live capture now refuses up front when it is not elevated, explaining how to re-launch, instead of failing later inside the driver.
Installing on Windows
- Download
fragcap-0.3.0-x86_64.msiand its.sha256from the assets below. - Verify it:
Get-FileHash fragcap-0.3.0-x86_64.msi -Algorithm SHA256should match the value in the.sha256file. The installer is unsigned, so Windows shows a SmartScreen "Windows protected your PC" warning with an "Unknown Publisher" note; this is expected. Choose More info, then Run anyway. - Run the installer. It installs to
Program Files, adds fragcap to the system PATH, and installs the hint database. - Open a new terminal (so the PATH change takes effect) and run
fragcap doctorto check your setup. - Live capture also needs the npcap driver, which the installer cannot bundle. Install it from https://npcap.com (the installer links it on completion) with its two non-default options enabled: WinPcap API-compatible mode and loopback traffic capture support (fragcap needs both;
fragcap doctornames either if it is missing).
Prefer no installer? Download the portable fragcap-0.3.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip instead and run fragcap.exe from the unzipped folder; it carries the hint database beside the binary.
