Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the application, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Environment Variables

Ensure that you have correctly set the required environment variables (API_ID, API_HASH, and DEFAULT_BIO). Double-check the values and make sure they are correct.

2. Check Telegram Connection

Make sure you have an active internet connection and that the Telegram servers are accessible. You can try sending a message to another Telegram user or group to verify your connection.

3. Check Game List

If the application is not detecting a game you're playing, ensure that the game is included in the process_mapping.json file. If not, you can add it by following the instructions in the "Contributing" section.

4. Check Permissions

On some systems, the application may require additional permissions to monitor running processes. Try running the application with administrative privileges.

5. Check Logs

The application logs errors and warnings to the console. Check the console output for any error messages or warnings that may provide clues about the issue you're facing.

6. Update Dependencies

Ensure that you have the latest versions of the required dependencies installed. You can update them by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

7. Fix High CPU Usage

CPU usage may be high for 10-30 seconds after the application runs. This may occur because the application is running in a way that requires access to games. Do not worry!

This situation is only temporary. CPU usage will drop within 1 minute. If a persistently high CPU usage occurs, follow the steps here!
