Great software, but if you ever have any issues with the overlays, like them not rendering, or displaying a white box instead.
Go to your appdata folder > locallow > Xiexe > XSOverlay > config > and deleting the .json file in there.
This will reset all of that and should make it work fine again.
Dev, please add an option to either reset/delete this particular file (then request a reboot), or a way to "Factory reset" everything to do with XSOverlay in the settings itself so people don't have to go digging through these files.

Guys to fix it just delete everything in the local files for the XS Overlay. Also delete it in appdata --> LocalLow ---> Xiexe and delete this folder. THEN reinstall and it should works.
Hope this helps.
It's really much better than OVR Toolkit.

I use this instead of OVR Toolkit bc I'm a rebel, also this software is pretty solid I like it, but I still struggle to right click in the desktop windows but its way better than the steamvr desktop by a longshot, def worth it
(CURRENTLY I havent experienced any major lag issues or bugs but I cant speak on behalf for other people so take my word with a grain of salt)

XSOverlay is currently the best overlay for vr comparing it to the other overlay apps like OVR Toolkit
XSOverlay has everything that you need
-Well optimized
-Standard time and date
-Media controls
-Performance monitoring
-Controller and tracker battery monitoring
-Preset layouts for your overlay windows
-Lots of settings for accessibility and customization
Having used OVR toolkit years back and having tried it every once in a while since then to see if its improved enough to compete with XSOverlay with 300+ hours i always come back to XSOverlay instantly and i dont see anything changing in the near future ALSO XSOverlay has some fun easter eggs so thats a fun little extra on top

* Desktop control
* Media control
* Performance metrics
* Battery tracking
If you're streaming, playing flatscreen games, optimizing performance, or using FBT, this is essential. Valve should buy this and make it a default part of SteamVR. It doesn't quite replicate ALL of the features of OVR Toolkit, OVR Advanced Settings, and FPSvr but it's pretty close and this should be your first purchase before trying out other solutions

The essential SteamVR app.
But it has issues that need fixed.
If you have more than 7-8+ watchman devices (2 controllers + 8 trackers) in use, the hotbar for battery visibility gets cut off so you just kinda have to guess what the rest's battery percent are at.
Panel Min/Max fps should be able to be enterable via keyboard as moving the slider with shaky hands to the value you want is frustrating.
I wish there were more options regarding performance metrics like selecting a GPU to monitor, display all cpu threads. GPU monitoring seems inaccurate as well as the frame-time counter if you are running full-speed, unless it's showing overhead but that should be a separate metric, not tied to the same counter.

i think that this overlay is what i expected it to be, it is fantastic though my only gripe is that my media player will bug out and only show one song after using it for an extended period of time with no way to fix it other than having to restart the overlay completely.
