MSI afterburner bug report & suggestion

Afterburner is preventing Steam overlay from working in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Also, sometimes the OSD randomly moves from the bottom left to where it's set to half way up the screen on the left.

 

Well I don't know what to say except the Steam issue has been known forever and is even mentioned on their FAQ page even the Origin overlay is problematic and the other issue if you scroll up about 2 posts and read about it.Great search skills.

 

Was the snide comment nessesary? Do you feel better now?

 

I do actually it just amazes me when I'm reading about a solution and I scroll down 3 posts and there's the same question I mean if it was buried 5 pages back maybe I could see it but 3 posts?

 

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

 

Screenshots and video recording doesn't work in Advanced Warfare, even with the Steam overlay turned off. Any ideas?

 

Ok I've been mainly using MSI Afterburner for in game monitoring and some recording and my Afterburner has been crashing after a half hour or so after running in game or not.
I have already tried to do a clean uninstall with IObit uninstaller and ran CCcleaner and reinstalled, but with the same results. I also thought it might bea conflict with other running programs so I shut what I don't need in game off, leaving on TrackIR and Teamspeak, because there needed ingame, still no fix
My Afterburner and NVIDIA drivers are up too date. I am out of ideas here and would like to continue use MSI Afterburner, because I do like the program, but this is really getting on my nerves..
If anybody else out there has any familiar experience with this and has a possible fix, please let me know!!!!

 

Ok, my bad. I get a runtime error crash ( Program: C\program Files[x86]\MSI Afterburner\MSI Afterburner.exe
This program has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. )
When it comes to profiles, is this what you want???

Yes I just realized that was still turned on from my old keyboard that I don't have anymore.
I'll leave MSI running for a while to see if it crashes again. I'll keep you posted!
I figured that that would reset after the reinstall.

 

Hi there.
I have recently overclocked my GTX 770 lightning LE edition, i gave it a little push of OC but not that much; since my country is still hot, therefor i can't push the card OC to the max yet.
My OC settings in MSI AB (ln2 setting is off) are :
Core voltage : +19v
Memory & Aux voltages : 0v
Power target : 100%
Temp target : 70c
Core clock : +26
Memory clock : +200
(This is so far the most stable OC stretch i have done).

My problem here is when i launch a game the core voltage stays below 1.2v, but whenever i reset my PC or shut it down and then start it again, the core voltage push it to 1.3v or mb more, i have found a solution for this by going to AB icon and reload the settings and apply it again; this move will make the voltage goes down to 1.2v and less.
Can anyone here tells me why the MSI AB push this voltage to its max, and please find another solution that i have made; because its really boring to do this manually over and over again confusedsmiley.png .

Thanks.

 

for some reason I cannot run msi afterburner 4.0, everytime i tried to run it..my screen with blank (black, green, yellow and some other different colours)

i can install version 3.0.1 and run it without any problem. I do not know why is this :bang:

 

Are you saving it as a profile slot 1 through 5?

 

Uninstall AB and choose not to save profile(s). REBOOT. Install AB4 and try again.

 

Left Afterburner on all night last night and everything seems fine. Figures it was something so simple lol, been trying to solve this through other forums for almost a week now lol.
thank you very much for your help!!

 

:tomcat:

 

Yes i do.

 

RTSS has been crashing my 64-bit apps/games like 3DMark, BF4, Watch Dogs, etc. I've been forced to uninstall it and use FRAPS instead. And yes, Origin and Steam overlays are both disabled. Which is why I also tried running 3DMark in 64-bit mode and it also crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Ok I'm having another issue going on with my Afterburner. Being you were on the ball with last fix, I'd come back here to you and hope fully you could help me out again.
Anyway since my last problem and reinstall I have not been able to record in game at all, no matter what key binding I use, tried several! I went into Rivatuner and made sure I had the game under Application profiles and it seems ok. The Game is IL2 Cliffs of Dover, which I had no problem recording before, except the file size lol, but thats another issue lol. I figure you will end up asking me what my exe properties are on MSI and Rivatuner so here you go...

My bad for being such a noob with these things and having to bug ya, but I really do appreciate it if you can assist
