What feature would you like added?
I would like Viper to track my Northstar playtime, and display it in the application.

Why should this feature be added?
This feature should be added, because, atleast for me, both steam and origin do not track my playtime when I play with Northstar, and I would like to know my playtime.

I do think this could be a neat but niche feature, it isn't entirely perfect, determining the amount of playtime won't necessarily be accurate, and Viper would either be required to be running in the background, or Viper would have to inject some commands into the launch command, which wouldn't work the greatest for all launch methods... The amount of play time would also have to be stored separately from the config file to avoid it being deleted, likely inside the game path.

But I would also remind you that your playtime is measured by the game/masterserver itself in the stats page, it is however the playtime in game, and not just running the game. This can be found under: Callsign > Stats > Overview > Time Played

Ah, very cool. I did not know that existed. Playtime tracking could hypothetically be toggleable and off by default.

I mean that would be even more niche, it would likely be much simpler to just make a very small script to keep track of your playtime, but given the low use case, idk if it makes sense to include directly in Viper, especially when in game playtime is recorded :p

Niche is nice :)
