Social update - automated Origin sync
🕑 Added 2019-11-06 17:40:11 +0000 UTCLinking your Origin account with PlayTracker is easier than ever before.
Starting today, PlayTracker will automatically sync data from Origin like it does for all the other supported platforms. Just set your profile to public, enter your Origin username in the Dashboard and press "Link".
The new system grabs individual achievement data too - so you can now view your games in more detail and even complete challenges for PlayTracker Quest! The new system will also automatically grab new game data automatically so your profile will always be up to date and recent achievements will show up on the activity feed.
The old manual system is now deprecated and unavailable and any synced games have been erased. However, your username and achievement/point totals remain and the new system will attempt to use that username to sync your account and add your games back with all the new data included. If issues arise, you will get a warning detailing any problems at the top of your dashboard.
This is the second of three large social feature updates I've been working on in recent weeks. The final update will feature enhanced support for long-term games like Guild Wars and Destiny. For now however I am refocusing my efforts on Insight, more precisely adding support for all platforms to Insight instead of just Steam. I believe that with Jedi: Fallen Order launching soon on Steam and Origin at the same time, it is an amazing time for this feature to make waves and spread the word about PlayTracker. I hope to release both this month, but you know - no promises.
As I've mentioned before, after these two updates launch I will open a discussion thread to determine development priorities for the future of PlayTracker where your feedback will be very important.
Thank you for the support and stay tuned for more updates!
