    Hi,

    The new v3 stable does not appear to work with WD! Causes game to hang on blank screen whilst loading, or the game just crashes! Using latest Cats 14.4 WHQL drivers.
    Any ideas?

    If you have Teamviewer installed on your PC, turn that off, or turn off QuickConnect button.

    If not, then I dont know.

    Close any other third party 64-bit OSD software.

    I also have that problem in any 64 bits videogame. I can't find a solution and i'm tired of searching around. If you solve the problem, please leave a post

    I tested WD 64-bit with almost 10 AMD graphics cards and AB running for OSD. Have not had an issue my man.

    I have no issues with OSD either. Make sure no active 3d processes are running be it Steam overlay or Uplay overlay. They can cause conflicts. You can make profiles for these in the RTSS control panel and then set their detection level to none..

    I get no steam or uplay overlay when Afterburner is running when playing Watch Dogs. I have both overlays in the game when Afterburner is not running. As far as I know I do not have any other 3d party OSD programs running on my machine. Also if I try to start Afterburner after I started game, the game crashes back to desktop.Some clues about what is causing this would be appreciated:).

    PS! It seems that this problem somehow only is current in WD. Far Cry 3 and Far Cry Blood Dragon(both games bought on Steam) does not have any problems with steam/uplay overlays with Afterburner active.

    SOLVED! Tried to uninstall and reinstall Afterburner. This time both overlays work when playing WD. Not sure what was the case before...

    I can't have any overlay enabled with Watch Dogs. Not steam nor uplay.
    I've tired to make a profile for the game and choose "Custom Direct3D support", but the game crashes just after launch.
    I also tried to uninstall and install MSI Afterburner and still can't have overlays.

    If I disable AB, both work fine...
