Steam overlay does not work (OptiScaler v0.7.0-pre66)

[birdiibirdii]

Using OptiScaler v0.7.0-pre66, FF7 Rebirth with custom DLSS. This is the only version of the mod I've ever installed.

Loaded nvngx.ini (Steamapps > common > FF7 Rebirth > End > Binaries > Win64)

Search for the command in the previous closed issue:
; Enables blocking of Steam and Epic overlays
; true or false - Default (auto) is true
DisableOverlays=true

It did not exist in the ini file at all.

I tried manually adding it, and it still did not work.

I understand that using the steam overlay can cause crashes.

Otherwise, works great.

Hi,

You might wanna try latest nightly from here:
https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/releases/tag/nightly

If you have problems with nightly (which wouldn't be suprising) you can check daily builds here:

Tried it. Just caused the game to freeze at launch.

Oh well. I just wanted to see my achievements lol.

If you want to see the overlay, then you have to put DisableOverlays=false to disable the overlay blocker, or since HUDFix is broken so OptiFG won't work without HUD ghosting anyway, you can just use UseFGSwapChain=false.

This did work. Not sure if DLSS is working though. Lost options in optiscaler.

People have been using Optiscaler 0.7.7 builds fine with FF7 Rebirth. The only thing that doesn't work is HUDFix with OptiFG as they seem to draw the HUD in their own specific way.

Did you try from previous comments? - If you want to see the overlay, then you have to put DisableOverlays=false to disable the overlay blocker
