Action Center
Lists issues requiring attention: game integration installs, software/firmware updates, and error prompts.
1 Introduction
Action Center contains a list of issues that require your attention. They might be game integrations, software or firmware updates. Action Center also displays error prompts.
The list, after first time installation, is usually quite long and its content depends on number of games you have installed. In most cases clicking Install button next to each issue is enough to resolve it. You can also resolve all issues in the same time by clicking Resolve All button (located in the bottom button bar).
Resolved issues disapear from the list. If any issue remains, it might require the user to take action manually. It usually notes hints and possible solutions.
Check configuration button manually starts the check of all the integrations and if software/firmware are up to date.
Historical tab lists previously resolved issues.
The Snapshot button directs you to a Snapshot menu, where you can create a ZIP archive with logs and information necessary for technical support.
Why ForceSeatPM does not install connectors automatically during start-up? Main reasons are:
- Installing connectors is an integration within a game (3rd party software). It can cause an error (e.g. a conflict with other plug-ins). We do not want to perform that kind of operations without informing user about it and without user's confirmation.
- Games are usually installed in Program Files. Copying anything to that folder requires permission elevation. We could display elevation prompts during startup but this would be confusing for the user - why do they need administrator authorization?
This is why we have chosen explicit mechanism for connector installation instead of automatic installation. After you click Install - the UAC prompt pops up as result, making the procedure transparent and user-controlled.
