    Yeah sort that one, working all good now...but...I can't seem to get the onscreen overlay working, I have read all the suggested fixes but doesn't want to work, any thoughts on that one?

    What happens when you switch on overlay mode?
    Default key combo Alt-o

    On mine, it is Alt-w but nothing happens, Alt-e opens the overlay to edit though?

    Can you just run DashPanel by itself with no game and tell me what happens when you open an overlay layout and switch overlay on?
    Does the client have a black background or does it become transparent?
    Does it draw on top of the desktop or steam for example?

    Just a black background, there is a flicker bottom corners and very top of screen when I press the keys but then just a black screen with the overlay on it?

    Sorry for the delays I never really hang out in forums anymore.
    If you want faster support email me at pyrofrogstudios@gmail.com or jump into the discord https://discord.gg/ztaM4WZ

    Can you check that transparency is enabled in your windows?
    What version of windows do you run?

    A quick google for windows 11 brings up this:

    Still running win7, Aero or transparency seems to be enabled, will have a look at the link you sent and see if anything helps? :(
