Vanguard Hub can record your login session by watching network traffic while you sign in manually. This one-time capture creates the two login files the Hub needs to connect headlessly later.
Login files are as sensitive as your password. Store them only on your own PC and never share them.

Capture from the account card

1

Install Wireshark with Npcap

Download and install Wireshark (free). Make sure you also install Npcap (free) when the installer offers it. Npcap is required for capturing traffic on Windows.
2

Start Capture login

In Vanguard Hub, select the account and press Capture login. The Hub begins watching all network adapters. A box appears on the card saying Watching for your login with a countdown timer.
3

Close the game and log in again

Fully close Rise of Kingdoms if it is already running. Then open the game and log in to the account you want to capture. Use either the PC client or an emulator.
4

Wait for success

The capture runs for up to 10 minutes while you log in. The Hub saves the login files the moment it sees them, then discards the raw capture automatically. When it succeeds, the box on the card updates with a success message showing the platform (PC or Android), server host, port, and file paths.
5

Stop watching

If you need to cancel before the capture succeeds or the time runs out, press Stop watching on the card. The Hub stops the network watcher and cleans up the raw capture files.
The capture box on the card shows exact instructions while watching:
Watching for your login (N min left)
  1. Close the game if it is open. 2. Open it and log in to this account. The login is saved the moment it is seen.

Capture from the Edit dialog

You can also start a capture from inside the Edit dialog. Open the account’s Edit dialog, then click the capture them from your game link next to the login file fields. The dialog closes and the capture starts on the card immediately.

If capture fails

If the capture does not finish, you may see one of these messages:

Alternative: browse for login files manually

If you already have login files from another source, you do not need to capture them again. Open the account’s Edit dialog, click Browse next to Login file 14 and Login file 52, and select the .bin files directly.
