Overlay and Live Messenger 2011!

[mjolkspam]

Hey, i got a slight problem with my Overlay now when i'm using Live Messenger 2011 (the new version)

I have the Overlay in the Contact list of MSN. It's pretty enoying, and i don't know ow to get rid of it.

Please help me, i'm using 1.2.3 :)

It does not crash for you though?

(We had another guy in the forum who said it would for him. Oh wait, it was a girl, not a guy.)

With the recent snapshots and the soon coming 1.2.3 version you can exclude programs from being used with an overlay yourself, with a blacklist.

I added a feature request to add it to the blacklist by default, until then you’ll have to add it on your own.

There’s 2 other ways though.

You can entirely disable the overlay,

or simply place a nooverlay (I think it’s that filename) file in the folder your (live messenger) executable is in.

The latter is probably the way for you to go, if you don’t want to use a snapshot or wait for 1.2.3.

I did add it my self in the Blacklist, but it didnt work. I did go into Program (x86) / Windows Live / Messenger and selected the msnmsgr.exe file.

And i guess that's right? Or am i doing wrong :)

Yes.

Are you running Mumble in portable mode? (mumble.ini in its folder)

I got 2 mumble startups in my folder atm: Mumble.exe / Mumble11x.exe

I'm using the Mumble.exe. What's up with the other one? Is it for Dx11 or something?

If so i might use that cause i have HD5870 and plays some Dx11 games.

And i can't find any file named Mumble.ini? :)

If you don’t have a mumble.ini in that folder you’re not running in portable mode, so that’s not the problem (running in portable will save settings in the ini, but the overlay will still read from registry thus your blacklist changes will not apply).

Mumble11x.exe is for the older 1.1.x version (servers) of mumble,

a backwards compatible client.

You only need it if you want to connect to older 1.1.x servers.

There was a protocol change from 1.1.x to 1.2.0 which made those incompatible, thus a compatibility client was introduced.

Did you try the nooverlay file?

Make sure it does not have a file extension.

Ah right, I got an update yesterday on Mumble, and it seems to fix the MSN problem :)

I have MSN on the blacklist, and Mumble doesnt appear on MSN anymore.
