After the patch I can't open the epic games overlay so I can't join my friends, also I can't even see them in public lobbies, till then everything worked alright.

somber wren Oct 27, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

Same here.

night sundial Oct 27, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

did you previously have epic account linked?

somber wren Oct 27, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

yes I'm playing the Epic Games version

night sundial Oct 27, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

somber wren yes I'm playing the Epic Games version

so you're playing on epic and what is happening exactly

gilded idol Oct 27, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

The Shift + F3 shortcut for opening epic games ingame overlay doesn't work. So I can't accept invites from my friends.

#

In other games it works fine

somber wren Oct 28, 2023, 8:09 AM

#

Yeah works just fine in Alan Wake 2 for example

random siren Oct 28, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

don't know epic, but can you join games directly from the launcher like in steam?

somber wren Oct 28, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

any news? Can't play coop with my friend because of this 😦

gilded idol Oct 28, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

random siren don't know epic, but can you join games directly from the launcher like in steam...

Nope, you can't

random siren Oct 28, 2023, 12:37 PM

#

dang. can you get a join lobby url or something like that?

gilded idol Oct 28, 2023, 12:37 PM

#

I don't think so, the only way is to get invite or join via public lobbies, but that doesn't work.

#

gilded idol I don't think so, the only way is to get invite or join via public lobbies, but ...

Not sure if this works in Epic version but if you hit Esc while in-game (at Ward 13 or in a biome world) there might be a "Friends" option.
In the Steam version we can join via the overlay OR by using this in-game feature. Screenshot below.

Yea, I can view friends in menu but can't join them only invite, the problem is, our progress is not saved at my game.

onyx python Oct 28, 2023, 2:23 PM

If you are using them:
Turn off MSI Afterburner and Riva Tuner.

#

Also try turning off any other overlay you might have on (NVidia GeForce Experience, Discord, Steam, etc.)

#

Restart the game after and try again after you shut all of those off.

gilded idol Oct 28, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

Yep thats what I tried, restarted PC turned off everything (nVidia Experience, Discord, Steam, Overwolf). Also I uninstalled Fraps, the only thing that was running was Epic Games Launcher, and it still didn't work. I don't have MSI Afterburner nor Riva Tuner.

somber wren Oct 28, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

+1 for everything Fojda said

onyx python Oct 28, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

This may help the devs:
I'm using the Steam version of the game but opened my Epic launcher and my Shift + F3 shortcut correctly opens the Epic friend's overlay for me.
Possibly something with just the Epic version of the game?

@gilded idol and @somber wren:
I also noticed if while in the game I open the Epic Launcher (from the bottom right dock near the time) that I can access the Friend's list from inside the Launcher. Could this be a workaround to needing to open the overlay?

somber wren Oct 28, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

Bottom right dock?

#

The epic friends list outside of the overlay doesn't permit inviting and accepting invites :/

somber wren Oct 29, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

New Patch didn't fix it

somber wren Oct 30, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

with Epic Online Services uninstalled it still gives me the option to toggle between public/friends only etc. which is weird

#

reinstalling the Online Services doesn't fix it

#

reinstalling the game doesn't fix it

#

from researching other games it seems that invites sent from within a game should show up in the launcher's friendslist but they don't

#

it seems like the game is in a semi-disconnected state? unlinked?

#

renaming the savegame folder doesn't work

#

Alan Wake 2 shows that the overlay works (a game that REALLY doesn't need it)

#

unlinked the game from my epic account, relinked on next start -> no change

#

@night sundial any info we can supply to help with this? I'm on a 4080, latest driver, latest Win11 build, no other Overlays running in the background

somber wren Oct 31, 2023, 7:39 AM

#

Any news? We'd like to continue our playthrough 😦

somber wren Oct 31, 2023, 10:27 AM

#

... would also gladly take two Steam Keys for my friend and me if that fixes the issue 😅

somber wren Nov 1, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

Today's hotfix still did not fix this, the Epic Overlay is MIA

night sundial Nov 1, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

This is an issue with Epic online services and 40 series cards, we're aware of it, but have no eta on a fix

somber wren Nov 1, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

Thanks for the feedback. Same thing happens for my friend's 3070 though and the overlay comes up in other games just fine.

night sundial Nov 1, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

we added the latest version of EOS in the latest patch, likely why other games do not have the issue unless they too patched in the last 5 days

somber wren Nov 1, 2023, 9:31 PM

#

I see. That must be it then. Anything I can do to help? File a bug report with Epic?

#

(replacing the EOSSDK dll with the one from Alan Wake or another game wouldn't work, right?)

night sundial Nov 1, 2023, 9:34 PM

#

dunno honestly, we're working with Epic currently

gilded idol Nov 2, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

Yep, happens for me too, even though
I have 3070ti card.

somber wren Nov 2, 2023, 9:27 AM

#

We'll try replacing the EOSSDK dll tonight

gilded idol Nov 2, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

somber wren We'll try replacing the EOSSDK dll tonight

I tried to replace that dll with one from rocket league directory, but the game just crashed on start. So, let me know if the version from Alan Wake will work.

somber wren Nov 2, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

Alan Wake one didn't work and I sourced an older DLL from a Remnant 2 build from September and it didn't work either 😦

night sundial Nov 2, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

well, if you're looking to mess with dlls, one work around it to rename or delete this file: sl.dlss_g.dll
located here: Remnant2\Plugins\Shared\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

#

the issue is related to frame generation, Epic updates and Nvidia

night sundial Nov 2, 2023, 7:12 PM

#

@somber wren

somber wren Nov 2, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

Confirmed! Thank you! I'm gonna miss Frame Generation but it's a hell of a lot better than not playing the game at all. 🙂

night sundial Nov 2, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

this is a work a round until we can get a proper fix

gilded idol Nov 2, 2023, 9:46 PM

#

I've deleted the file but it doesn't work for me for some reason 🤷‍♂️

night sundial Nov 2, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

The game doesn't load or the overlay doesn't show up

somber wren Nov 3, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

gilded idol I've deleted the file but it doesn't work for me for some reason 🤷‍♂️

Hmm I've just renamed the file:

gilded idol Nov 3, 2023, 9:10 AM

#

The overlay doesn't show, game runs ok

gilded idol Nov 3, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

I also turned off discord, geforce experience overlay, steam etc. So, I hope the proper fix will be available asap 🥲

Hello, I and my friend have the same problem. We using Win10, I use 1660 Super, my friend use 3060ti card. The problem is present not only on Win11 and 40 cards.
I'm sorry for my English, it's not my native language

somber wren Nov 4, 2023, 7:13 PM

#

weird that renaming sl.dlss_g.dll fixes it for me but not you guys

#

although I haven't checked with my friend (on 30 series card) yet

bright raven Nov 4, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

somber wren weird that renaming sl.dlss_g.dll fixes it for me but not you guys

How exactly to rename?
And can you say - where is that .dll file be?

alpine stirrup Nov 5, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

@bright raven(Your Drive Letter):\Steam\steamapps\common\Remnant2\Remnant2\Plugins\Shared\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 Also I just created a new folder within that location and moved it to the folder no need to rename the file. The game booted up and Epic Overlay worked fine but not Frame Generation option in settings so if you use Frame Generation you'll have to decide if you want to use Overlay or the Frame Generation

Hello again, I replace sl.dlls-g.dll. But that don`t helped. And one question - you use Steam version?
Because I buy game in Epic Store, and have another path

somber wren Nov 5, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

I use the epic version and of course the path is different then

bright raven Nov 5, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

As a result my RivaTuner doesn`t be disabled, because my AfterBurner restart him(((

#

I delete him and overlay be enable)

somber wren Nov 6, 2023, 9:16 AM

#

Rivatuner incompatibility is a different issue, should be solved by updating to the latest RTSS beta version aswell

somber wren Nov 6, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

Workaround doesn't work on my friend's 3070 system

#

Super weird. Works for me, though.

night sundial Nov 6, 2023, 12:33 PM

#

the current issue with the overlay that we're aware of is related to frame generation. That needs to be disabled in order to get the overlay to work, frame generation only works on 40 series cards. This an issue on Epic's side and we're waiting for a fix, there must be something else affectign 30 series cards

I have gtx1070 . I tried all of the steps above nothing seems to work.

somber wren Nov 16, 2023, 7:25 AM

#

My friend with the 3070 still can't bring up the overlay, for me it works without FrameGen now after patch and without renaming the streamline dll.

dreamy pumice Nov 17, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

I too am unable to join a friends game atm because I can't open the overlay. I'm also playing with Epic, using a 30 series GPU. Renaming the dll likewise didn't work for me (and the overlay works properly on other games).

ruby quarry Nov 17, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

I would like to add: The Button at the top left of the Main Menu "F Link Epic Account" doesn't do anything. 🚬

#

ok, unlinking my SteamAccount from Epic, launching the game, then Pressing the Button worked. Now the Overlay is appearing.

quiet echo Nov 17, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

not for me or my friend, overlay is still not appearing

keep the game closed and you'll be able to accept your friend's invite from the Epic launcher (only if game is closed, though!)

urban oyster Nov 18, 2023, 8:52 AM

Thanks! That's a good idea!

somber wren Nov 18, 2023, 10:02 AM

#

That's how we do it right now as my friend can't get the overlay working aswell. I've even turned on FrameGen and invite him through the game's menu itself. The only thing that's broken is his name is just a number in-game but that doesn't seem to be an issue.

urban oyster Nov 19, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

somber wren That's how we do it right now as my friend can't get the overlay working aswell....

Thank you, finally some decent solution.
