Wombow for Windows 0.61.74

2026-09-24

• Wombow can join you when you play. Settings → "Join me when I play" leaves it waiting in the tray, and it starts watching by itself about half a minute after a game it knows comes up. It is off until you turn it on.
• It only does this for games it already knows, so a full-screen video of a match, or a game's launcher sitting on the lobby, is not taken for you playing.
• A session that started by itself skips the hello — and it does not fill the quiet either. The first thing it says is about something that actually happened in the game, not about the loading screen you are still sitting on.
• When it joins you by itself, it no longer has to load the local model all over again: while Wombow is watching your game come up, the model stays loaded instead of being unloaded in the half minute before the session starts. With no game in front, it still unloads after a minute and hands your VRAM back.
• Started by itself, ended by itself: about a minute after the game is gone, it says one short goodbye and stops. If it is still set to join you in that game, it says so by name — and if you have turned that off, or set that game aside, it tells you to press Start instead of promising something that will not happen. Alt-tabbing to a browser is not leaving.
• It asks about this once, after a watch session of your own — "not now" is a whole answer, and it does not come back to ask again.
• Stop means stopped: press Stop and it will not let itself back in while that game is running. There is also "don't join this game", for one you would rather play alone, and Settings lists the games you have set aside.
• Wombow knows more of your games by name now — Rocket League, CrossFire, FC Online and the FIFA years among them — so it switches to the right game mode for them and can come and sit with you in them. Waiting in a game's launcher still is not playing it.
• A game mode Wombow worked out for itself belongs to that sitting. Press Start on something else tomorrow and it looks again, instead of spending the evening on yesterday's game — and a game you picked yourself is still never changed. Settings marks the ones it worked out with a small "Auto-detected".
• New in Settings: "Share anonymous game stats", and this one is on by default. At most once per watch session, and at most once an hour, Wombow sends five things: the file name of the program in front of you (for example cs2.exe), whether Wombow's own game list recognised that name, whether the window was filling the screen, how the game mode you are on was chosen, and this app's version number. Those two limits are unchanged, and starting Wombow before you start the game no longer leaves the session out of the count.
• It never sends the window title, your screen, anything you type or say, or where on your disk the program lives — and a watch session running on a local model sends nothing at all. The switch that turns it off is the same one: Settings → "Share anonymous game stats". What is kept, for how long, and how it is de-identified is written out in full at wombow.com/privacy.
• Signing in with Google: while the browser tab is open, the button becomes Cancel. Changing your mind hands the sign-in panel straight back, instead of leaving it stuck for three minutes.
• While that tab is out there, the e-mail half of the card waits with you: the fields and the button are greyed out, and the button says what it is doing. One sign-in at a time. Cancel, a timeout, or a finished sign-in gives the card back.
• If nobody comes back from that tab, the sign-in now says it timed out and invites you to try again — it no longer reports a tab you closed and a tab nobody returned to as the same thing.
• The page the browser lands on at the end of a Google sign-in wears Wombow's own face now, in your language, and says in one line how it went.
• Your plan keeps up with your account on its own. Buy or cancel, come back to Wombow, and Settings → Account says the right thing a moment later — no going to look for a refresh link. Nothing pops up either way; the change is in Settings and nowhere else. The link is still there, dim, under every plan, if you would rather ask than wait.
• The upgrade panel says what it costs and what you get: under each button, the amount for the billing period you picked, and how many hours of cloud vision a week that plan comes with. Both come from Wombow rather than being written into the app, so a plan whose price or hours can't be read shows no line at all instead of half of one.
• "Yearly (save)" is just "Yearly" now. The two amounts sit one click apart and can speak for themselves.
• If the local-model address in Settings stops answering, the model list no longer simply goes empty: Wombow looks on the two usual local ports and moves to whichever one is answering.
• Under the hood: a little more of what CS2 publishes about a match is read now, and what Wombow carries from one moment of a match to the next is a little more careful, and stricter about which details it keeps at all — though none of it is said out loud yet — plus the usual round of stability fixes.

Wombow for Windows 0.61.60

2026-09-16

• Wombow time is counted by the week now: Settings shows what you've used this week, and when the week turns over — in your own day and time, not ours.
• Signed in, opening Wombow lands a daily sign-in card — one more hour on this week's Wombow time, added whether or not you tap it. The card is a receipt, not a button.
• If Wombow starts before your network is up, which is the usual order when it launches with Windows, that day's hour is no longer lost. It lands quietly once you're online.
• A "Claim history" link beside the bar lists the last 14 days.
• When the week's Wombow time is used up, Wombow now tells you and stops, instead of carrying on without a word. The message comes in whichever language you're using.
• Closing the window asks once whether to keep Wombow running in the tray or quit, and remembers your answer. Settings → "When I close the window" changes it later.
• There's a Wombow in the notification area for as long as the app is running: click it to come back, right-click for start and stop watching, or Quit. The installer wears the same wombat now, in place of the orange placeholder.
• Quitting while the local model is still starting up shuts it all down and hands your VRAM back, the same as quitting once everything is running.
• With nothing being watched, the local model unloads after a minute and hands your VRAM back; the next Start, or your next chat message, loads it again. Settings → "Free VRAM when not watching" offers 1 minute, 5 minutes, or never.
• On NVIDIA cards the built-in engine runs on CUDA again: loading a local model no longer freezes the desktop for a few seconds, and answers come back a little sooner.
• The honest cost of that: on an NVIDIA card the first built-in engine download is about 550 MB instead of 33 MB. It happens once, not once per model.
• Chat: a message typed while the local model is still loading now waits, and sends itself the moment the model is ready.
• Chat: if the local model was unloaded for sitting idle, chat says so — a slower first answer isn't a mystery.
• Chat: you can select and copy text out of the conversation.
• League: your own kills and assists get a reaction now. They used to be the ones it talked past.
• League: the same kill never gets called twice.
• League: it stops telling you to watch your health while your health is untouched, and stops casting a teammate as the one chasing you.
• League: quiet while you're in the shop, or holding Tab on the scoreboard.
• League: when it doesn't know which lane you're in, it stops saying things about it.
• League: it never reads its own thinking out loud.
• League: the end-of-game screen is no longer mistaken for a fresh match — no stray "New match" line as the result screen comes up.
• Saved highlights are named after what actually happened, and the ones that used to slip past while Wombow was mid-sentence get kept now.
• When Wombow can't see your screen, the header says so within a few seconds whatever the reason — and the "switch to Borderless" tip now waits for the case it is actually about.
• A round of stability fixes.
