Game Detector 0.2.0

Game Detector is a native OBS Studio plugin designed to streamline your streaming workflow. It automatically detects which game you are playing (supporting Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Ubisoft Connect) and updates your Twitch or Trovo stream category in the background.

Windows Only

Streaming Platforms:​

• Twitch
• Trovo (beta)

Key Features​

• Blazing Fast & Lightweight
  Scans your game libraries directly (manifests/registry) instead of your entire disk. Detection takes less than 5 seconds with zero performance impact on your stream.
• Native Twitch Integration
  Connects directly to the Twitch API. No external chatbots, scripts, or PowerShell required.
• ️ OBS Dock Integration
  Includes a built-in Dock to monitor the detected game, manually override the category, or set it to "Just Chatting" with a single click.
• Hotkey Support
  Bind OBS hotkeys to force a category update or rescan your game libraries instantly.
• ️ Highly Configurable
  • Automatic game selection based on the active process.
  • Manual game inclusion for non-library games.
  • Edit detected game names and executables.
  • Choose between sending a Chat Command (e.g., `!setgame`) or direct API updates.

Technical Details​

• Smart Scanning: Only scans known library locations (.vdf/.dat/Registry) for maximum speed.
• Native C++: Built purely with C++ and Qt for maximum performance and stability.
• Privacy Focused: Runs locally on your machine. Twitch and Trovo tokens are stored securely in OBS settings.

Installation & Usage​

1. Install the plugin.
2. Open the Game Detector dock in OBS (Docks -> Game Detector).
3. Connect your Twitch or Trovo account in the settings.
4. Start playing!
