What game are we talking about? Because if it a new one like BFBC2 it will use the DX11 capability of your graphics card. The overlay however, at this point, only supports DX9 and 10. So if you really want the overlay you should check whether the game can be configured to use DX9/10 (BFBC2 can for example).

I cannot tell you when we are going to support DX 11 since none of our developers have DX11 capable hardware at this moment. But I guess sooner or later we'll get our hands on it and implement support ;-)

If your game does not use DX11 make sure you have actually enabled the overlay and if it still doesn't work get back to us.

thanks dd0t

I'ts bfbc2 with dx11 settings so that'll explain it thanks very much, i'm so pleased i posted, was going to go threw all the palava of uninstalling gfx drivers, i understand the problem now i'll change the gamedx settings to 10 cheers.

Hopefully have dx11 support soon, great program from what seen so far, clans loving it to.

Keep up the good work.

You might be interested to know that Direct3D11 has a compatibility layer for 'downlevel hardware' (ie. anything D3D9 and up). Might be worth checking out, there's a good chance you can use D3D11 with current hardware.
