Update 0.9 -DirectX Overlay and New Achievements-

[Silencer]

Seems pretty smooth, for recording purposes, does the overlay pipe out through the same window as PS2. For instance, in open broadcaster, if we have ps2.exe set for game capture, will it grab the overlay?

Technically, yes. More accurately it uses the same D3D device PS2 is using. Unfortunately more than likely OBS will perform a similar hook that we are and intercept the DirectX calls prior it to reaching the tracker. Meaning you will see the overlay, but your viewers won't unless you run in Windowed / Full-Screen windowed.

This is what the streaming overlay is for. You can always configure the streaming overlay to only display achievements/killstreaks as well if you want it to match the in-game version.

Try running mumble as admin along with ps2 and rtst. Or run all not as admin.

One thing I've noticed is if I tab out, occasionally when I tab back in the overlay hotkey stops bringing the overlay up.

Permanently? Or just on the first key press? It will take a second to reestablish a connection after an alt tab

[Stygiis]

I gave it some time and it was permanent when the issue happened. I even hit some of my overlay/tabbing keys to release the key locks.

What about achievements or ks notifications?

[Stygiis]

As far as I could tell the ks notifications were working, but I didn't really get to test that thoroughly after the key stopped responding.

[Stygiis]

I can now confirm, the key (or key listener perhaps) stops working, but the overlay achievements do pop-up stilll and are visible.

Thank you. You have no idea how helpful that is in debugging it.

When it happens again, can you go under Tools -> Options -> Configure and uncheck stats hotkey. Press save. Then go back into options and turn it back on again? All without quitting PlanetSide and let me know if it works again?

Will do the next time I'm in game. Also, I do my best. I'm a Computer Scientist myself, the woes of debugging are all too real for me.
