v1.1.41

The whole party shows again.
If you played several quests in a row without closing the game, teammates started disappearing from the meter, and once it began it never recovered until the game was restarted. The cause was in GBFRMeter.asi: it had 16 identity slots and never gave them back, so after about four quests it stopped recognising anyone new. Whoever attacked first kept a slot, which is why the two who stayed were usually you and your own AI companion.
Please copy the new GBFRMeter.asi into your game's scripts folder. The fix lives in that file, so without it nothing changes.

A player is never silently dropped.
If the meter cannot work out somebody's name, it now keeps their row and shows the character instead of removing them. Summons and NPCs are still filtered out as before.

History can no longer split in two.
The meter keeps a backup file and used to read only one of the two. Once they stopped matching, anything that lived only in the backup was one save away from being gone. Both are now read and merged, so a split repairs itself.

Send fight log tells you the truth.
It used to thank you whether or not it arrived, so a report that failed looked like it had worked. It now waits for the answer and says plainly when nothing was sent.

v1.1.40

• Runs no longer go missing. The fight in progress is now saved continuously, so if the game or the meter closes unexpectedly, that run is recovered the next time you open the app instead of being lost.
• History can no longer be wiped. If the history file is briefly unreadable (antivirus, cloud sync, a second window), the meter now keeps a backup and refuses to overwrite your saved runs — the old behaviour could silently replace all of them.
• Opening the meter twice now brings back the window you already have, instead of running a second copy. Two copies used to overwrite each other's history.
• History keeps 20 runs instead of 10.
• New, optional: Community → Send fight log. If the meter shows something wrong, press it and the current fight's data is sent so it can be fixed. Nothing is sent unless you press it, and player names are hashed first — your teammates' names never leave your PC.

v1.1.39

• Party fix: a 4-player run could show only 3 rows, with one player's damage merged into someone else's (percentages still added up to 100%, so it was easy to miss). Rows are now matched by party slot AND player name, so two people can never be counted as one. Thanks to Ad for reporting it.
• Signed updates: every update is now signed, and the app checks that signature before it installs anything. If an update is not properly signed, it is refused and you keep the version you have. This protects you even if the download server itself were tampered with.
• Safer install: the downloaded file is checked again at the moment it is installed, not only when it finishes downloading.
• Smoother start: the window no longer flickers when the app opens.
• Quieter updates: no more popup. The bar at the top tells you an update is ready and it installs when you close the app, or press Restart to apply it right away.

v1.1.38

� History fix: your current run now saves when you close the app, and the history file is written safely, so runs stop going missing or resetting after a restart.
� Overlay Stun: new Settings option to show Stun in the overlay instead of DPS.
� More colors: recolor the DPS/s number and your own row (YOU) in Settings.
� Overlay click fix: after F1, the hidden app no longer blocks clicks where it used to sit.
� Meter file update: if the in-game meter file is out of date (needed for Stun), the Install button turns orange so you can update it in one click.

v1.1.37

� The update notice is now a small bar inside the app instead of a popup, so it no longer interrupts you. Click Download (folder version) or Update (exe) to get the new version.
� New Stun line in the breakdown, showing the total stun (break) each character dealt.
� New Add-on overlay mode in Settings: the app stays a normal window and F1 just toggles the overlay on top, so it never gets lost, and it now always keeps a taskbar button. Sliders let you place the overlay anywhere, and you can set it to show only while the game is focused.
� Click any color box in Settings to pick from a color palette. You can now also set the TEAM total color and recolor the small gray sub number (total, percent, hits).
� New compact number format (4.1M) for tighter numbers.
� Recent runs now show time as m:ss, and the meter snaps back to live on its own when a new fight starts.
� The Settings panel now scrolls so every option fits, and Minimize sends the app cleanly to the taskbar.

v1.1.36

• Fixed duplicate and wrong character names, mainly in Conflux. When a player changes stage or floor, or transforms mid-fight (like Id or Cagliostro), they no longer split into several rows or show under the wrong name. All of their damage now stays on one correct row.

The app self-updates, so existing users get this automatically.
New users: download GBFR_Team_DPS.exe below and run it. No installer, no Python.

v1.1.35

• New: a horizontal overlay layout. Players sit side by side in a short, wide strip that fits along the top or bottom of your screen. Turn it on in Settings (the gear icon). It's off by default, so nothing changes unless you want it.
• Character names now show for everyone right away (Siegfried, Eugen, and the rest) instead of a raw "Char 514E" code. You can still double-click a row to rename anyone.

v1.1.34

• The app now starts in English by default. You can switch to your own language anytime in Settings (the gear icon).
• Added a lot more skill names for the DLC characters (Fraux and Fediel), so far fewer moves show up as a raw "Skill 1234" code.
• Thanks for all the name suggestions. Keep them coming (right-click a skill to rename it, or send it in).

v1.1.33 — Scrollable breakdown + more skill names

What's new

📜 The breakdown window scrolls now
Click a player to open their breakdown — you can now scroll it with your mouse wheel. Before, a long sigil list pushed the skill table off the bottom and you had to drag the window taller. No more dragging.

🏷️ More skill names for DLC characters
Added proper skill names for a bunch of Fraux and Fediel moves, so fewer hits show up as a raw Skill 1234 code.
Still seeing a move that's just a number? Right-click it to rename it (or send the name in) — thanks to everyone contributing names. 🦋

v1.1.32 — Antivirus false-positive fix + apology

About the antivirus warning — and an apology

Some antivirus programs have been flagging the meter as a threat. It is a false positive — the meter contains no virus, and it never touches your saves, your account, or your damage numbers.

Why it happens: the app is small and not code-signed (a signing certificate is expensive for a free hobby tool), it updates itself by downloading new versions, and it installs a small read-only hook into your game folder to show team damage. None of that is harmful, but antivirus heuristics watch for exactly those patterns — with few downloads and no signature, some engines guess "suspicious."

What changed in this version: the meter no longer replaces files in your game folder on its own. It used to quietly refresh its hook file in the background — that looked like malware behavior, so it's gone. The hook is now installed only when you click "Install to game."

If your antivirus still blocks it, that's a false alarm — you may need to allow it or restore it from quarantine. The source and behavior are open and verifiable. Sorry for the trouble and the worry it caused. 🦋
