Re: PC -Origin's overlay (Shift + F1) is active even when disabled (Performance)

If you go to game properties, the first new window you can disable Origin in the game and that should work.

    Thanks I just remembered that there's a setting for each game, too lol, in case one wants to disable Origin In-Game for all games except for some.

    Hi, thanks for your quick reply. But: Did you press Shift+F1 in the game yourself after disabling it in both places? ;-)

    Im asking, because the overlay still pops up (Shift + F1) ingame. Thats for me (Play Pro) and a friend (buyed Version)... even when disabled in origin's global- AND in this individual per game setting. That's the reason I opend this report. Is it just for us, or for everone? ;-)

    Only renaming the overlays corresponding .dll file in origins install folder prevented the overlay from beeing loaded and active all the time. Thats no nice "fix" for the typical user. 

    The overlay is active in the background even when the shortcut is not pressed (...waiting for the shortcut). So just changing the hotkeys does not improve the performance.

    The game decides itself to load the .dll inside origin, it seems. No matter what the settings in Origin are. This should not be the case. It 100% affects performance on my System.

    Please look into it.
