    Hi Guys,

    I love the MSI OSD and I tend to play FFXIV A LOT (probably too much). Is there anyway to have this overlay show in windowed mode? It works fine in other games such as Crysis 3 in borderless windowed just not in FFXIV.

    Many Thanks,

    Will

    A wild suggestion try Custom D3D support, and set the priority to high.

    Don't know that game. Google says this guy's OSD is working with fullscreen+frambuffer mode, but not so much windowed mode....

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for your replies. I have managed to get it to work in windowed mode in DX11 which is nice. Still now dice on DX9 though. FFXIV isnt completely stable on DX11 yet, not on windows 10 at least so I guess for now i'll have to decide between DX9 or DX11 with OSD and crashs lol.

    Thanks,

    Will
