Re: Does disabling origin overlay disable achievements all together?

EA David... what other overlays? Please give an example, because the only other program similar to Origin that I run is Steam.

I have never had this problem with Steam and I never run both at the same time. Please define what you mean by "overlay". Because the last several Origin updates have been useless. I have had OiG disabled since the week before DA:I released, when the buggy beta Origin client was released to production in two days flat.

Now I cant use OiG at all, and half my friends I cant send messages to because Origin claims they are on the beta client in an auto response, but they have it unchecked in settings. Then you have to uninstall Origin and clean it out of the registry like a virus and try reinstalling. It works until the next time Origin burps, but not OiG, just messages.

I am so tired of EAs lack of support and shoddy client. Now DAI is riddled with bugs and there is zero sign that any of them are being worked on. It has been a very annoying thing being an EA customer of late.

BioWare has stated two more patches are currently under development.

"Overlay" can also refer to something like Fraps, for instance.
