Real-Time Alerts & Notifications
Real-time Game Update Intelligence
How It Works
PatchPulse polls official developer repositories, CDN manifest files, and live telemetry streams to detect patch deployments the moment they sync to distribution nodes.
You define custom thresholds for each title in your library. When a new build crosses your configured criteria—whether it’s a 0.1% file size drift or a complete 3.2 GB overhaul—our routing engine instantly dispatches the alert through your selected channel. We cross-reference SHA-256 checksums against known hotfix signatures to eliminate false positives, ensuring you only get notified when it actually impacts your session.
Notification Types
Choose the right alert tier for your workflow, from background telemetry to urgent competitive updates.
Micro-Update Alerts
Triggered for builds under 500 MB that address crash loops, shader compilation errors, or server-side connectivity drops. Example: “Valorant 8.11b Hotfix: Fixed anti-cheat handshake timeout on EU-West nodes.”
Full Release Notifications
Reserved for version bumps with new maps, character releases, or engine migrations. Example: “Cyberpunk 2077 v2.15: Phantom Liberty expansion files deployed. 4.8 GB download queued.”
Meta-Shifting Patches
High-priority alerts for titles where balance changes impact ranked play. Includes weapon stat deltas, movement speed adjustments, and matchmaking queue resets. Example: “Overwatch 2 S12.4: Tracer damage reduced by 12%, ranked ladder reset in 6 hours.”
Setup Guide
Configure your alert pipeline in under 90 seconds without leaving your dashboard.
Navigate to Settings > Notification Preferences. Select your active titles and toggle granular filters for patch size, release type, and regional deployment windows. We support email digests, desktop push notifications, and Discord webhook routing. Set quiet hours to suppress non-critical alerts between 23:00 and 07:00 local time, then click Activate to sync your thresholds with our monitoring cluster.
