Our first response, and the GPU field is wrong: gpu=Parsec%20Virtual%20Display%20Adapter&gpus=2 Parsec installs an indirect display driver, it enumerated first out of `Win32_VideoController`, and the primary was taken as the first entry -- so the real card on that machine is gone. `gpus=2` is the only reason we can tell anything was lost, and it cannot tell us what. This is not an edge case for this audience. Parsec, Sunshine, Moonlight, TeamViewer and Splashtop all install one, and a cloud-gaming community is precisely the population that has one already. A recorded gpu_model is a hard requirement for a host; a virtual display driver satisfies it in name only. Three changes. Adapters are now sorted so real hardware is first, by two keys: whether the name matches a known software adapter, then whether a vendor could be identified at all. Order is the only signal the rest of the program has for which GPU is "the" GPU. The vendor comes from `AdapterCompatibility` rather than from pattern-matching the marketing name. An "AMD Radeon" string is easy; an OEM-rebadged one is not. And every adapter name is now sent, not only the count. `gpus=2` told us something had been lost and not what, which is the kind of field that wastes a response we cannot ask again. The known-software-adapter list has unit tests, on all platforms -- it is a list of strings and it will need extending, so it should fail loudly rather than quietly stop matching. Version to 0.1.2. For the record, what that submission got right, because none of it needed asking: 50% of 165 Steam launch records fall in five hours of twenty-four (21:00-01:59) against five records across the whole of 07:00-13:59. That is 0017's evening peak, measured, from one person's own files. 140 of the 165 records are titles no longer installed -- restricting the histogram to installed titles, as review suggested, would have left 25 samples and lost the shape entirely.
