2.04

Connection stability hotfix

June 26, 2026

Fixes Galaxy repeatedly toggling between connected and offline when Rocket League exposes more than one listening TCP port.
Distinguishes the real Stats API listener from unrelated transient Rocket League loopback listeners.
Prefers Rocket League's wildcard-bound listener, such as 0.0.0.0:49234, over temporary 127.0.0.1 ports that can accept a connection and then close it.
Prevents Galaxy from saving a transient port as the Stats API host or rewriting DefaultStatsAPI.ini with that incorrect value.
Preserves the automatic live-port adoption and exact-install config repair introduced in 2.03.
Adds a dual-listener regression fixture matching the reported machine state and confirms Galaxy selects 49234 while excluding 58714.
Runs connection discovery tests on an isolated local API port so validation cannot interfere with an existing Galaxy session.
Passes native dashboard, packaged lifecycle, signed portable packaging, and live Rocket League connection-stability checks.

2.03

Native-only runtime and automatic connection recovery

June 26, 2026

Makes the native Galaxy Screen the required desktop interface and the native IGO helper the required in-game overlay path.
Removes the legacy Electron dashboard and transparent-overlay fallback files so component failures no longer reopen the old interface.
Keeps the existing packaged launcher and local backend host internally while the remaining launcher/backend migration is handled separately.
Embeds the Galaxy icon directly into both native executables so Windows shows the proper app identity in the taskbar and process surfaces.
Automatically inspects an open RocketLeague.exe when the Stats API connection is unavailable and remembers the exact Steam, Epic, or custom installation path.
Prioritizes and repairs the running installation's TAGame\Config\DefaultStatsAPI.ini for future launches.
Detects a live Stats API listener on a different port, adopts and saves that port, and reconnects without requiring the Connect-tab repair button.
Rechecks a starting Rocket League process so Galaxy can connect when its listener appears a few seconds later.
Improves Windows process-path discovery when the primary process query does not expose the executable location.
Explains the one required game restart when Rocket League was already running before its Stats API config was repaired, because the running game cannot reload that file.
Adds regression coverage for custom-install pairing, config persistence and repair, restart-required reporting, automatic port adoption, native lifecycle, and packaged startup.

2.02

Post-native testing sweep

June 26, 2026

Makes the IGO session record mode-specific so wins, losses, streaks, and MMR context do not overlap between playlists.
Labels the IGO callout as a mode session and includes the active playlist name directly in the stat line.
Removes windowed Galaxy logo rotation and IGO object/ring/glow animations while keeping the subtle saucer movement available.
Lets the native Galaxy Screen scroll when the window is not full-screen.
Refreshes Galaxy site screenshots for the native desktop screen and current IGO overlay.

2.01

Native Galaxy release

June 26, 2026

Makes the native Galaxy Screen the default desktop experience while preserving the Electron fallback path.
Keeps the lightweight native overlay helper as the primary IGO path with crash restart and transient spawn retry hardening.
Adds the one-screen native Lobby Ranks scouting surface with player/platform badges, TRN actions, rank cards, encounter history, notes, and live stat context.
Adds native settings coverage for overlay/IGO controls, connection repair, hotkeys, update state, stat display choices, and ScrimSync community navigation.
Improves Tracker rank behavior with cached/stale results, identity cache, cooldown handling, and clearer blocked/cached state labels.

1.30

Lightweight native overlay foundation

June 19, 2026

Makes the lightweight native Windows overlay the default while retaining the Electron overlay as an automatic fallback.
Hardens overlay toggles, crash recovery, duplicate launch handling, and shutdown cleanup.
Reduces overlay memory use by rendering only the native overlay footprint instead of a full-screen transparent Electron layer.

Lightens overlay animation timing, glow, and blur effects to reduce gameplay performance impact while preserving motion.

1.28

Manual overlay and connection repair

June 17, 2026

Adds a visible Show Overlay checkbox in Window + Overlay Settings so the fullscreen overlay only opens when users choose it.
Keeps monitor-only mode as the default startup path to avoid reintroducing mouse-related hitching for everyone.

1.27

Performance-first launch

June 17, 2026

Starts the portable EXE with the normal Galaxy monitor window only, instead of automatically spawning the fullscreen transparent overlay.
Keeps the overlay code available for testing while avoiding the mouse-related hitching seen from the always-on-top transparent layer.

1.26

Gameplay hitch reduction

June 16, 2026

Replaces the 1.5.24 portable build after the packaged startup regression was found during testing.

1.23

Portable EXE launch fix

June 15, 2026

Fixes the packaged portable EXE launcher so it no longer tries to use resources/app.asar as a working folder.

Adds a Quit button directly inside the update prompt.
Updates the launcher to stop stale Galaxy server and window processes before starting, preventing old extracted builds from continuing to report an older version.

1.18

Tracker pacing and monitor stability

June 15, 2026

Adds 4-second spacing between Tracker Network profile requests to reduce HTTP 429 pressure while keeping lobbies moving.

Stabilizes the upper monitor window so Series, replay controls, sponsor tile, and Lobby Ranks no longer overlap when resized.

Lets lobby rank rows use the full Galaxy monitor width instead of competing with the tall ad rail.
Compresses premium sponsor placement into the top row and hides the tall Tier 1 ad rail from the monitor view.
