Discord Overlay Not Showing Won't Appear Battlefield/Origin/Shadowplay
Discord has an overlay feature that allows you to see who is in your current channel and who is talking, similar to every other communication app.
Until recently, I haven't been able to get it to show up while playing certain games, especially ones that require Origin.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
Until recently, I haven't been able to get it to show up while playing certain games, especially ones that require Origin.
Here's the fix that worked for me:
- Turn OFF Origin In-Game
- Close Origin
- Add Origin and Battlefield to Steam Library (Under Games>Add Non-Steam Game)
- Open Battlefield using the link in Steam (you may have to click it after again after Origin launches)
- While the game is running>Open Discord>User Settings>Overlay>Enable In-Game Overlay (assign a hotkey as well)
- Discord User Settings>Games>Make sure you see the game you want the overlay to work in and that it is activated.
- Close the game and then Reopen. If it worked you will see a discord prompt for the overlay with your hotkey selection to manage your channels. Press the hotkey again to only see the channel you are in.

This setting can have a negative effect on your overall FPS and potentially effect your ability to see other players.
Recommended: Very Low to Medium
EFFECTS
This can have a detrimental effect on your FPS during a firefight.
Recommended: Low
FOLIAGE
This effects how much grass is in the game and can effect how easily you are able to spot enemies.
Recommended: Low
VIEW DISTANCE
Sources indicate that maximizing view distance is counterproductive since there are not sniper rifles in the game that can punish you past your ability to see on Low.
Recommended: Low
TEXTURE
This is an eye candy setting and does affect FPS. If your system can handle it, go as high as you can. There is no discernible difference between high and ultra except the strain on your system.
Recommended: High
POST PROCESSING
This setting will affect how blurry the game is at a distance. Go as high as your system can handle.
Recommended: Ultra
ANTI ALIASING
This effects the how smooth objects look and does not have a noticeable impact on performance. Go Ultra.
Recommended: Ultra
NIVIDIA SETTINGS
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
Vertical sync: Off
Maximum pre-rendered frames: 1
Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration: Single display performance mode
