OSD not working sometimes

[petey]

I am trying to set up OSD for permanently showing sensors while gaming (not for games running in clients like Steam etc.).

Problem (in old v6.88 as in newest version): in 3 out of 4 tests, the panel disappears when the game starts. When using a hotkey to bring up the panel, the display switches from the game to Win desktop + OSD.

This happens in games using their own graphics engine, as well as in games using Unity etc.

Is this a known problem? I could not find a matching case in the forum.

PC:

Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX1060 6GB with latest WIN7 driver.

 

Thanks.

The OSD (and the SensorPanel as well) is not supposed to work with full-screen games or other full-screen applications.  You can use the OSD or the SensorPanel on a secondary monitor while you're playing a game full-screen on your primary monitor.
