GildedGauge

Challenge Improvements

• Added Challenge start acknowledgements
• The leader now automatically retries Challenge Start for players who do not respond immediately
• Duplicate Start messages no longer reset an already-running Challenge
• Players who accept just as the Challenge starts can now receive the active Challenge state automatically
• Added automatic Challenge resynchronization when changing zones or entering/leaving instances
• Improved reliability for Challenges with multiple players

Challenge Recovery & /reload Support

Active Challenges can now survive a UI reload.

GildedGauge now restores:

• Challenge timer
• Current score
• Player roster
• Other players' latest scores
• Top Items
• Challenge pricing settings
• Item quality filters
• Challenge window state

After a reload, participants automatically request the latest Challenge state from the leader.

Challenge timing now also uses a shared server-based start time, helping participants stay synchronized even if someone joins the active state slightly later or reloads their UI.

New: Quick Loot

Added a new optional setting under:

Settings → Misc → Enable Quick Loot

When enabled, GildedGauge will attempt to clear available loot slots immediately after you manually initiate an Auto Loot interaction.

Quick Loot:

• Is disabled by default
• Still requires the player to initiate looting normally
• Works together with WoW's Auto Loot behavior
• Performs a few fast retry passes to help with loot slots that are not immediately available
• Does not affect GildedGauge's normal loot tracking

For the smoothest experience, WoW's built-in Auto Loot setting is recommended.

Other

• Challenge state is now saved more frequently for improved recovery
• Improved synchronization when players enter or leave instances
• Additional Challenge state validation and recovery logic
