Hi all,
this has bothered me a while now and there is still no fix apparently. Actually, the situation has gotten worse.
The Discord in-game overlay has never worked in SoT for me, even though Discord recognizes the game and shows that I am playing it, but it just won't show the overlay in game. I double checked the game settings in Discord to make sure the overlay is actually enabled for SoT.
Discord is not my main issue tho. As of recently, the Gamecaster (aka XSplit Gamecaster) overlay doesn't work anymore. Actually, Gamecaster doesn't recognize the game at all anymore and won't capture it. I know that it recognized SoT a few months ago because I streamed it back then.
There is not much to find on this topic on the internet besides this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/ethn7g/discord_overlay_and_sea_of_thieves/, this bug report: https://ideas-xgc.xsplit.com/suggestions/106521/sea-of-thieves-cant-be-captured-by-any-game-source-function or this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/7sox65/cant_stream_sea_of_thieves/.
None of them found a solution. It seems like the problems are due to SoT being installed through the Windows Store. Still, that doesn't explain why Gamecaster worked a few months ago. Did anyone of you encounter similar issues? Can it be solved somehow or do I actually have to buy the Steam version to get full compatibility with overlays?
