Dash Studio Overlays
Make sure to set a transparent or half transparent background to each screen.
Make sure to set your game in windowed or borderless windowed mode, vsync is strongly suggested for optimal performances.
SimHub overlays are not a d3d graphic hook, it's a series of borderless windows, shown over the game in these conditions the result can vary a lot depending of your hardware settings.
- Performances will vary a lot depending of the game settings. Make sure to enable vsync when possible.
- Reduce the overlay surfaces as much as possible (space taken on the screen, even if totally transparent have an impact)
- Try to enable the HTML rending mode of simhub (accessible by clicking on "more" on each overlay)
- GSync or free sync can block simhub rendering when configured to sync both desktop and fullscreen apps (configure it back to default for fullscreen apps only)
To avoid oversized overlays causing performances issues, a size (surface) limit exists.
Width * Height must be below or equals to 800 * 600 (480 000 pixels). For instance :
- 800 * 600 overlay will be allowed
- 800 * 800 overlay will be blocked
- 300 * 1200 overlay will be allowed (400 * 1200 is below 800 * 600)
When going over the limit a warning will be displayed and it will be only possible to create an new layout from the overlay, adding to an existing overlay layout will be disabled :
Project cars 2 / AMS 2 does not offer borderless option in the menu, you can enable it using startup options inside steam :
