Some notes about the Influence Search changes.
As a user and the creator of PoE Mechanic Watch, the Influence Search has been a source of frustration due to it's slow performance and the fact that images don't seem to work between leagues. The images not working between leagues is extremely frustrating as updating the images for all three mechanics takes a long time to do each league and unfortunately, I've yet to find a solution to the images not working between leagues (any suggestions would be welcome) but as mentioned in the changelog to solve the speed it the search tool now only searches a total of five images (the last known count +/-2). This leaves a situation where if your count is way off for some reason it won't automatically update, this can still be updated by clicking the overlay image to increment or using the hotkey to decrement the count. Additionally, you can now use the OCR tool to update Influence counts by hovering your mouse over the Influence buttons in the map device to show the text popup. With these changes, tracking should be much faster and easier but please leave any feedback below.
