Reply To: Discord and in-game overlay

 LATEST NEWS
#19818

Ok, update.

I’ve contacted the discord’s developers about RS2 and overlay.

Here is their answer:

Sadly, Rising Storm 2 isn’t one of our whitelisted games, so that’s probably why this overlay issue is popping up. We’re still working on getting more games compatible with our overlay, but it’s coming on a per game basis as each game is unique in how it interacts with the code.

I’m really sorry for the inconvenience and the hassle, but please let me know if you have any questions!

further question:

Do you think there is ANY workaround?
I mean, there is anything we can do to bypass the problem? Running in windowed mode with a plugin that shows only who is talking?

I’m making guesses, but at the moment ANY solution would be better than the current situation.

Hi Luca,

Sadly, I don’t have any workaround for you, other than maybe using the mobile app on your phone while playing.

The way the overlay works is that it hooks into code on your game to display the overlay on-screen, and this is different for each game as they use different display methods, not to mention cheat protection and all that nasty stuff (at least for our overlay devs).

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any other concerns, just let me know!

Cheers,
Augustine

 

So, overlay be most likely will be not implemented in the near future.
