[Solved] Games running using the Vulkan renderer won't display the OSD

Hi, I just installed afterburner 4.6.1 and RTSS 7.2.2 and I made all my configurations however, I am not able to get the OSD to work on games using the VULKAN API (Dota2, Talos principle etc). I have searched for a while but I haven't found any settings that I can change to fix this.

The OSD is working perfectly fine with DX11 titles and there are no issues there. Is Vulkan even supported? Is there a toggle somewhere?

Here are my settings for Afterburner and RTSS.

 

Create a profile for the game and set detection to high.

 

Unwinder does say some Vulkan apps so setting to high sounds right.

Edit: Also wonder what other apps are running too at the same time?

 

Thanks I will try that

No other 3D apps, just Firefox and some others

 

Alternatively, install the latest beta, which supports dynamic vulkan hooking using Layers.

 

Try this, NVIDIA only, hope it helps.

 

So, I reinstalled everything again, and set the Application Detection Level to "High" in RTSS Setting and its working now, weird. I also tried creating profiles for different game with that setting set to High and that worked too. Thanks guys!

 

Damn this doomed parameter
It actually solve the problem for me in the latest Doom Eternal, thx for the tip @HARDRESET

 

it also killed your framerate.

use the internal game fps profiler.

 

What does this mean? It means delete the line of "presentFromeCompute = 1" ?
Or just change the value 1 to 0 ?
I did both, nothing happened.

Version of Msi afterburner and RTTS are all up to date.

 

I have a similar problem with DOOM Eternal. OSD statistics shows up only in Publisher's logo Screen but does not show up in real-time rendering situations (like the animated main menu and the gameplay area itself). Changing detection level to medium or high does not solved the problem.

 

Try reading.

 

try this, work for me

 

Try using the internal fps overlay and not nerfing your own performance.

 

your 1080Ti can handle Doom Eternal , my 1080Ti with nightmare settings at 4K , very smooth, same with Doom 2016 and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

 

Got

I got same problem, in fact, you just described my whole story.

 

I had to create an account and post that changing PresentFromComputer=0 to a 1 and saving the Global Config file under RTSS ProfileTemplate as Admin did the trick for Doom Eternal. Now the RTSS Overlay will work for me past the Splash/Main Menu in Doom Eternal, which is awesome. Not sure WHY this worked, must have something to do with the Vulkan renderer, but it does. Strange because the Overlay worked on the splash screen, but as soon as you get to the Bethesda login screen/Main Menu it just disappears unless you use this trick.

Just follow the steps in that video linked on the thread and it will work for you too (I also have Application detection level set to High and Stealth mode Off, I will see if different combinations will work also).

 

it works but i went from 141fps gsynced to around 100fps.

 

Some relevant reading:

Unwinder's post on 2017-02-01 in the thread "MSI Afterburner 4.3.0 Final is Released" - last paragraph.

My paraphrasing: RTSS made compatible with DOOM (and other games using the same engine), with stated performance degradation from OSD on AMD cards.​

Some people trying to create drama on reddit by claiming AMD performance is intentionally nerfed as part of a conspiracy.

Unwinder's post on 2018-09-26 in the thread "RTSS 6.7.0 beta 1" - last paragraph.

My paraphrasing: OSD disabled by default in games such as DOOM (when presenting frames from compute queue), so the performance hit is not actualized unless the user elects to do so by activating the OSD with a game profile.​

Unwinder's post on 2018-09-27 in the thread "Unwinder announced removal of AMD GPU support for RTSS yesterday" in the "Videocards - AMD Radeon Drivers Section" section

This thread is part of the drama, so it's not surprising to see a highly misleading title.​

All those old items pertained to DOOM (2016), where Vulkan async compute was only used on AMD cards. It seems DOOM Eternal uses it on Nvidia, too.

 

This also worked for me, opened the global file with Notepad ++ and changed the 0 to a 1 and saved the file in Notepad ++ administrator mode. Only issue I am having is a slight flicker of the OSD. I am using Raster 3D and the only setting I have on is detection level set to high. Is anyone else experiencing the flickering?

I have an RTX 2060 MaxQ in my laptop and a ASUS RTX 2080 OC Edition in my main rig using this trick.
