HunterPie - Overlay and Rich Presence (2024)

What is HunterPie?

HunterPie is an overlay with Discord rich presence support. It works by reading the game process memory, storing all the necessary data to later on display everything in the overlay and in the discord rich presence. HunterPie also supports auto-update, so whenever there's a new patch, it will automatically search and download all the new files, it can be disabled though.

HunterPie is open-source, feel free to check it out on GitHub.
If you want a more organized way to see HunterPie features, consider checking out it's official documentation.

Attention: Development for this version of HunterPie was discontinued in favor of HunterPie V2, the new version supports both MHW and MHRise but does not contain every feature of this version.
