WARNING: If you have NVIDIA FPS counter (Alt+Z), disable it or gameoverlay won't work!
Turn off Compatibility Mode or the overlay will crash your game!
config.ini gets generated upon first launch and is not fetched at runtime. Restart your game/gosumemory to make changes

To enable in-game overlays, go to your config.ini (should be right next to gosumemory.exe) and switch enabled from false to true in it.

Set gameWidth and gameHeight according to your in-game resolution.

overlayURL could be any overlay that we have (look up http://localhost:24050) Get overlayWidth and overlayHeight from Included Counters spoiler on our main page

It is VERY important to set correct overlayWidth and overlayHeight. 1920x1080 will work on almost everyting but you will sacrifice a lot of performance, because empty pixels are still pixels (1920x1080x4)=8 MILLION bytes that we have to push every 17ms

Once you load up your game you should be able to see your overlay at the bottom left corner.

To interact with the overlay hold RIGHT SHIFT (LEFT WON'T WORK) and hit one of the following keys:

  • Arrow keys to move the overlay UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT
  • PgUP/PgDown to change the scale
  • Delete to reset the overlay into it's original position and scale
  • End to refresh the page

Or you could change the offsets manually in the config.ini (0,0 being the bottom left corner and scale is a float value multiplied by 10, represented as integer)

  • If you get white screen and a 404 error make sure that overlayURL is correct and you have the letest version of the static folder. You can obtain it at https://github.com/l3lackShark/static/archive/master.zip (unzip the contents of static-master to static in your gosumemory folder)
  • config.ini is not fetched at runtime, so you have to restart gosumemory every time you make a change in there

To enable OBS capture of the overlay make sure to check the Capture third-party overlays (such as stream) box in the Game Capture properties.

Please note that this could very well be used to develop cheats/other types of software that will give you advantage against other players. We DO NOT provide such overlays and ARE AGAINST that. You will be banned if you use this in a cheating manner. However, you should be safe if you use one of the overlays that we provide as it works exactly the same way as Steam/Discord overlay.
