Maximizing Game Filters.

• It is important to only use game filters while actively playing the game in question.
• Having multiple filters enabled during a game may cause overlap, resulting in confusion.
• To avoid this, we recommend only leaving party chat filters on while playing a game.
• When switching to a different game, turn off the previous filter and enable the new one for the new game. By doing this, you'll be able to capture accurate data and avoid confusion
• Always begin capturing packets before joining a game or party chat. This is essential as most filters require information from the initial packets in order to function properly.

You can request a game or app filter to be made or updated via our discord.
