Afterburner OSD won't show up on any apps now.

[HolyHandGrenade]

First just let me say being a regular member of a number of other forums, I really, really hate being that guy; the one who signs up on a forum only to ask a single question, but alas, here I am.

My problem is simply that I was running a Gigabyte Radeon 3870HD and Afterburner's OSD worked flawlessly.

However, two days ago, I swapped my graphics card to a Leadtek WinFast PX8800GTX and the OSD no longer shows up on any programs (Minecraft, Skyrim, CS:S, you name it, can't seem to get it to work on any).

I have ran both current versions of Afterburner (the current stable release, can't recall the ver. number and the current beta [2.2.0 Beta 9]), have reinstalled it and all.

Can anyone shed any light on my issue? I'll gladly give any more information needed as quickly as possible.

Thank you very much.

EDIT: It does show up in Serious Sam HD, however. Just found that out today.

I have the same problem, I hope you can give us any solution.

A greeting.

Update DX runtimes to the latest version.

Updated to this version, which appears to be the latest: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=8109

Still not working. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'm sure I needed them updated anyway.

If you enable Framerate graph, do you see any data on it when running 3D applications?

[HolyHandGrenade]

No, I do not.

I had this issue myself a while ago.

Uninstall afterburner fully - DO NOT save profiles.

Uninstall GFX driver. Reinstall latest gfx driver.

Re-install AB (Beta 9).

SHould then work.

Don't ask me why it happened, but my guess would be a mix-up muddle of DX files and driver files. (but doesn't explain why I had to re-install AB).

Call it gremlins, but that fix worked for me.

Show me contents of your .\Bundle\OSDServer\Profiles\Global and .\Bundle\OSDServer\Profiles\Config.

@Dublin_Gunner: I'll try that as soon as my ISP fixes whatever they screwed up, my download speeds are 10kb/s right now, nVidia drivers would take forever to download at that rate, haha. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

I've solved it by adding this line to the configuration.
EnableDynamicOffsetDetection = 1

A greeting.

And it works. Thanks!

For clarification, this is what was done (see my post below for explanation as to where to put it):

Would the inclusion of this line allow the OSD to render using post-process AA methods like FXAA? (though I think this is in the options now?)

TY for the fix by the way.

[HolyHandGrenade]

Wait, I looked it up and people are saying do NOT add the line to Global as it will cause conflicts.

Instead, go to your system tray and open the OSD server, add TESV.exe to the list of programs, then go to .\Bundle\OSDServer\Profiles\TESV.exe.cfg and add that line in the same place as above.

Or I assume for any game you want it to work with...

[HolyHandGrenade]

Yes. Was in a hurry and forgot to mention that I was only using Skyrim for example.
