Issues - Platform and API

Issue Description:
Since OW 0.169, We’ve Started receiving high volume of “Game Hook” Errors
this is the error that we’re getting:

"{\"SubErrorMessage\":\"inject_helper_timeout_error\",\"status\":\"error\",\"success\":false,\"error\":\"Game_Hook_Error\"}"

Once this error occurs, the user is unable to record his gameplay.

based on our records, this issue happens mostly in Minecraft, but can happen at smaller volumes in other games too.

Can you reproduce it (exact steps to reproduce): No.

Impact for my app: Medium - High (4K DAU that can’t record)

Do you currently have a workaround? No

This is a new error we started collecting on version 169 (so the number of affected users wasn’t changed in this version).

Please send us relevant logs if possible.

A fix for this issue was released on 173, and I’m closing the ticket.

ok, looking at it now the issue has drastically improved, but there are still a little less than 1K users that experience this daily.
I do believe they might be users who didn’t update their Overwolf version, but I don’t know for sure if that’s the case
I think we can keep the issue closed and I’ll ping you if anything new arises :slight_smile:
