NVIDIA FPS Counter "Head UP Display" disappearing when launching into a Game

[random bramble]

To turn on overlays on the NVIDIA App, please press the triangle button (located top right next to the Send Feedback/Bubble & Log In/Profile button). Alternatively, you can press the Alt+Z on your keyboard to open & close the overlay.

Toggle the performance stats with Alt+R. These stats will stay on the screen even if the main overlay is closed.

Note that the new NVIDIA app overlay has a different look than the GeForce Experience overlay. The new overlay menus/options are located on the side of the screen with the rest of the screen clear of obstruction, while the old overlay options are located on the center of the screen and dims the rest of the screen.

Any options regarding the overlay (such as recording, shortcut, heads-on display) can be accessed by opening the overlay and pressing the cogwheel button on the top right of the overlay.

If you want to turn off the overlay permanently, you can go to Settings > Features > Overlay > NVIDIA Overlay, and turn off overlays by pressing on the green slider.

This is... certainly strange

What games have you tried?

[ruby dragon]

It happened in Battlefield 2042
and now in Battlefield 6

But also in other games.
I wanted to screenrecord it to show it, but it doesnt show up in the recording at all.

The overlay cannot be screen recorded most of the time (as a feature)

please name all the games involved just in case

Both of the games you mentioned, what display mode were you using?

(windowed, borderless fullscreen, or exclusive fullscreen - note that games may refer to the same thing using different terms)
