Summary

HyperOverlay 1.4.13 releases overlay focus cleanly for host-driven actions and carries forward the production input alignment fixes.

HyperOverlay 1.4.13 fixes overlay focus release for host actions by limiting gameplay pause hotkeys to active hidden/standby gameplay and unregistering them when pause, end, launch, or shutdown flows take ownership. It also carries forward the prior input alignment work for Back/Escape, forwarded controls, and canonical exit handling. This release ships as a tag-gated Windows production plugin package through the shared HyperSpin deploy-tools path.

New Features

• Releases overlay-owned gameplay pause focus before host pause/resume actions
• Registers gameplay pause hotkeys only while gameplay is active and the overlay is hidden or in standby
• Keeps Back/Escape and forwarded input controls aligned with HyperHQ mappings

Updates

• Aligns release metadata and manifests for the v1.4.13 tag-gated production package
• Preserves launch/readiness handling while allowing host actions to regain focus cleanly
• Maintains prior pause-menu input normalization and canonical exit handling

Bug Fixes

• Fixes overlay focus release for host pause actions
• Prevents gameplay pause hotkeys from remaining registered while pause or end screens are active
• Preserves current Windows packaging and shared deploy-tools multipart upload behavior

Known Issues

• Production uploads require an explicit manual workflow dispatch and matching release tag

• Added Epic protocol launch support.

HyperOverlay / Controller Integration

• HyperHQ can now receive overlay-initiated pause requests from HyperOverlay pass-through hotkeys.
• Controller gameplay actions remain active while the overlay pause flow is in use.
• Pass-through hotkey registration is more robust and handles custom pause keys more reliably.

• Fixed collapsed systems sidebar media behavior.
• Fixed banner logo override lookup and fullscreen sidebar viewport gaps.

What's New

Controller Management

• Disabled controllers are blocked from reconnecting or processing input, while their mappings are preserved if you re-enable them later.
• Controller settings now clearly show disabled status, and controller setup was simplified by removing custom controller image uploads.

Plugin Catalog

• HyperHQ now waits for the correct plugin catalog channel before loading plugin listings.
• Plugin listings now better reflect OS-compatible versions, so users see available plugins that match their platform.

Import Reliability

• Improved large plugin-driven game imports by serializing add-game batches and retrying temporary database write locks.
• This helps prevent missing chunks during MAME-style bulk imports.

Redact credential-bearing plugin logs.

Upgrade SharpCompress to address a moderate vulnerability advisory.

Fix ROM hash validation for non-hex values.

What's New

Plugin Stability

• Added recovery for stale plugin states, reducing cases where plugins could appear active after they had stopped.
• Cleaned up plugin manager active checks so plugin lists stay consistent across launch, shutdown, and recovery.

Summary

Improves MAME import reliability by passing system context through game creation and stopping failed import steps before partial results are written.

MAME 1.2.7 makes game imports safer and more predictable. HyperHQ now keeps the selected system context with newly added games and clearly stops when a MAME list-generation step fails, instead of continuing with partial import results.

Updates

• Keeps MAME imports tied to the selected HyperHQ system when adding games.

Bug Fixes

• Stops the refresh/import flow when list generation or game-list building fails, so setup errors are surfaced instead of silently continuing with incomplete data.
