Guild Wars 2

Ok.. this will probably sound stupid.. but…

When I was playing 2 years ago, I could have sworn I had the dragon spawn timer and other WvW interfaces integrated where I could be in-game and still see them. Right now, when I am in-game I have to alt-tab out of game to Overwolf to use the overlays. Any idea what I need to tweak?

just don’t tab out to use overwolf… it should automatically implement an overlay, it can be pulled up by pressing shift+tab

I.. must be missing something here. When I use overwolf, and its overlays, the game sounds go quiet and I cant interact with the game. When I click the game, the overlays go away. Overwolf itself has an icon ingame, but the overlays dont show. Maybe this is another Windows 10 sucks thing, who knows..

That is something that’s called a bug, reinstalling ow should resolve it. And no it’s not “windows 10 sucks thing” as you ever so eloquently put it, just gotta face the fact that ow is a shoddy software even if it is the best one available

Nope.. reinstalled and still makes all the apps external. I have to alt-tab to each individual app to see it.. then click on game to get back into game.

It’s worth mentioning that the way events were tracked via 3rd-party apps has changed. It is no longer possible to track any event, but world bosses and certain map-wide meta-events have fixed time schedules so new apps are based on these fixed values.

Apps can still pull WvW data AFAIK, though.

Try them all. Overwolf can work in fullscreen, the rest you have to go to Windowed Fullscreen.

Interesting.. I came back to say, after a reinstall Overwolf addons ONLY work with windowed mode.

Oh, and the reinstall wiped what addons I had.. sigh.. cant find which ones I had.

Overwolf does work in wFS as well. Which is what I currently do for gw2. More screenspace, and gw2 doesnt minimize if i use a different tab.
