Question / Help Any way to hide Steam overlay when using Game Capture on DirectX 12 games?

[APerfidiousDane]

I've been playing Strange Brigade which only supports Vulkan and DirectX 12. Game capture does not seem to work for me on Strange Brigade through Vulkan and I hate having my steam overlay shown in OBS. I think I've confirmed this as an issue on DirectX 12 on Battlefield 1 (not Origins overlay, Steams overlay), Vermintide 2, and Strange Brigade at least. I tried The Division but it crashes every time I try to play in DX12. On BF1 and Vermintide 2 my overlay does not show up when DX12 is turned off.

I think I have a few more games that support dx12 so I will continue checking but I think it's related to DX12.

Log. I wasn't streaming mind you just using OBS preview.

Right click the source, scroll down and you'll find "capture third party overlays (such as steam)" Uncheck it.

It is unchecked. I should have mentioned that but as I said the overlay does not show on games running dx11.

There's sort of a race condition happening that we have no control over. The steam overlay's capture is inconsistent.

That's unfortunate and annoying, what a bummer.
