I have a problem with the uplay overlay. When i press shift f2 nothing happens except for my mouse changing to the windows standard until i do something that would remove the overlay. Like if the overlay was invisible. I have tried to disable the steam overlay and run ubisoft connect as an administratior. Would appreciate some help.

Hello Foetidum_simia, welcome to the forums!

Sorry to hear that your overlay doesn't work as intended.

We are aware that some software may interfere with the Ubisoft Connect overlay.

One way to solve this is to disable all background applications while you are playing a game with Ubisoft Connect. You can find how to do this here.

If you use MSI Afterburner, please try the following:
- Make sure your version of RivaTuner Statistic Server is up to date.
- In the RivaTuner Statistic Server settings, set Custom Direct3D Support to enabled for Ubisoft Connect enabled games.

This should allow you to use the Ubisoft Connect overlay. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
