It just doesn't, no idea what to do. RivaTuner and OBS are not running. I reinstalled Galaxy. Using Windows 11.
I have nothing else to go off of

Same here, impossible to play multiplayer on some games. It's as if it is trying to launch itself but is invisible ...

Hi, sorry for the late reply, didn't get the notification

Sadly, that didn't do anything. However, I found this developer article: https://docs.gog.com/gc-overlay/
However, if you would like to test the overlay before we enable it globally, you can turn it on locally on your machine. Follow these steps:

Go to

C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy on Windows, or

~/Users/Shared/GOG.com/Galaxy on macOS.

Open the config.json file.

Add the following line to config.json:

"forceEnableOverlay": true

Make sure that all lines containing parameters with exception of the last one end with a comma (,).

Save the file and restart the GOG GALAXY client.

Now you can run your game and test the overlay by pressing Shift+Tab, even if it is not enabled globally.
This makes the overlay work for me. Even though the overlay is globally enabled it wouldn't show up, but this force enable method does work

Add the following line to config.json:
"forceEnableOverlay": true
Thanks for the tip. It helps to a degree. I have Afterburner with RivaTuner running in the background, but I disabled it specifically for Cybeprunk. With option above overlay works. Temporarily. Because Galaxy keeps overwriting config.json file and removing that line :/ Sometimes even without app restart. It doesn't matter if I add it at the end or in the middle.

Working ! thanks



for me looks like

{
"clientInstanceId": "080eb4f3-9b72-4395-a14b-949c4b030723",
"installationSource": "gog",
"libraryPath": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GOG Galaxy\\Games",
"previewBuildsEnabled": false,
"storagePath": "C:\\ProgramData\\GOG.com\\Galaxy\\storage",
"supportPath": "C:\\ProgramData\\GOG.com\\Galaxy\\support",
"forceEnableOverlay": true
}
