Game "Overlay" Causing Crashes
4.5
The game crashes as soon as you press Shift+Tab or try to record a clip.
Symptoms
- Crash on overlay
- Black screen
- UI freeze
Possible Causes
- Conflicting overlays (Steam + Discord + NVIDIA)
- DirectX version mismatch
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable Multiple Overlays
Pick one (e.g., Steam) and turn off Discord and NVIDIA overlays.
2
Update Graphics Drivers
Overlays rely heavily on stable GPU drivers.
3
Run Game in "Borderless Windowed"
Full-screen mode is more prone to overlay crashes.
When to See a Technician
Having three different apps trying to "draw" on top of your game at the same time is a recipe for a crash.
