Scraper and Sniffing

Hello,

I tried to record 2 sessions with https://octowow.st/community-sniffing but I end-up with the message "Poor session", even when I entered Scarlet Monestary Graveyard and done all the content in it (and later also tried with Walling Cavern). Each time it did not seems to work.

After examination, it detect wow.exe, it detect the key, but it does not detect the character login. So my session were useless.

Any tips ?

No tips at the moment unfortunately. We will be looking into that asap though as we want to get the sniffer in good shape to grab what we can before May 15th. I will respond here when we have a solution. Just to confirm, did you start the sniffer session before you opened your wow.exe?

We have a dev working to improve the error message/logging on the sniffer in the next few days so that we can better diagnose these issues. There are however no plans for the sniffer to auto-update so be sure to grab the newest version from https://octowow.st/community-sniffing when you can.
