Add "phase" info update for Apex Legends

  • Feature Description:

Add tracking of the game’s current state for Apex Legends.

  • Impact for my app: mid

  • What is your current pain point?

The app needs such info updates to make proper decisions about performing different actions exactly when some phase is in progress (neither before nor later).

At the moment, I have to use other events (such as roster_XX or legendSelect_XX) to guess what current phase is but it leads to serious delays in the app logic.

  • What do you have in mind to solve it?

There is already “phase” info update in PUBG – https://overwolf.github.io/docs/api/overwolf-games-events-pubg#phase

There should be something similar in Apex Legends:
– lobby;
– loading_screen;
– legend_selection;
– aircraft;
– freefly;
– landed.

Hi, and thanks for the feedback.

We will discuss the matter internally, and then we’ll make a decision.

Usually, it takes a few days. We will update you here.

Thanks.
