FAQ

  • Q. Are there any limitations
  • A. Twitch limits us to a number of events per channel in a given time period. So some events if arriving rapidily will be queued.
  •  
  • Q. My journal is not in the default location!
  • A. Thats ok! The App will ask for you to define the location when it can't find any journals in the "usual" place, and you can change it at any time!
  •  
  • Q. Can I minimize the application?
  • A. Yes, minimizing the application is perfectly fine.
  •  
  • Q. Does it run with Xbox/PS4 Elite?
  • A. Not currently! This is being looked into to see what is possible!
  •  
  • Q. Does it conflict with EDMC/Voice Attack/Other journal based programs?
  • A. It should not conflict no, I currently run three different applications that read my journal, without issue.
  •  
  • Q. Can I run it on another computer?
  • A. Yes, but network weirdness or lag could occur.
  •  
  • Q. What about other languages?
  • A. The extension itself is currently in English only, some journal data is localised but we use the English Translations right now. If there is interest we can create a translated version!
