MSI Afterburner overlay won't show up in some games

Set up the on-screen display for fps and GPU temp. Works in Cyberpunk, nothing in a couple of Vulkan games. RivaTuner is running in the tray. Anything else I need to switch on?

Are the problem games from the Xbox app / Game Pass by any chance? RivaTuner has always had a harder time hooking into those than into Steam versions. Same game working on Steam but not through the Xbox app would point that way.

Check the RivaTuner side rather than Afterburner. Add a profile in RTSS for that game's exe, make sure on-screen display support is on for it, and try raising Application detection level to Medium or High. Kill the Steam and Discord overlays as a test too. If it's a game with anti-cheat the overlay may simply be blocked.
