    Discord Overlay Does Not Work In Breakpoint

    Discord Overlay Does Not Work In Breakpoint.

    Simple as that.

    This game has Discord integration options and yet it doesn't even work.

    My overlay works for every other game I play, including ones I add manually.

    Breakpoint is the problem, and it is the only game that does this.

    Really frustrating.

    Thank you for contacting us, Mister Soop.

    Could you provide more details on that, does it just no display/appear when using the short-cut?

    This notification does not appear in Breakpoint:



    And the Overlay does not work.

    Trying to press Shift + Numpad - (for me) does not turn it on either.

    I have reinstalled Discord, run it as an admin, toggled the overlay on and off, and everything else you can possibly think of.

    The notification will appear for all of my other games.

    Except Breakpoint.

    Thank you for clarifying that for us, and providing the image!

    Do you have any other overlays running? Aside from I assume the Ubisoft Connect one.

    If you try disabling the Ubisoft Connect Overlay, does that make any difference to the issue?

    So I did some testing.

    The Discord overlay works fine with regular Breakpoint with anything else, including Ubisoft Connect overlay and even launching through Steam.

    But I play with Vulkan, and it is not working with Vulkan.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for testing that, it's interesting that it only occurs on Vulkan, this is certainly something we can pass on to the team to be looked into.

    Just to confirm with the Vulkan issue, that only effects the Discord Overlay and not the Ubisoft or Steam overlays?

    That is correct, all other Overlays are fine except Discord on Vulkan.

    Oddly enough, the Overlay does seem to work on Vulkan when I play on my laptop...the issue is on my desktop. Do you think something else is going on here? Maybe I hit a weird setting some place.

    Edit: If it makes a difference, the game is installed on my desktop to an M.2 drive, whereas on the laptop it is the computer's C drive SSD.

    Discord seems to recognize Breakpoint Vulkan just fine, it will even automatically re-add it if I remove the game.

    But it just doesn't seem to like Vulkan, whereas the regular .exe is fine.

    Thank you for getting back to us with those details.

    Is Discord on the same drive as the game is, are you also running Discord with Admin rights on both platforms? You can do this through the steps in the guide here.

    When you mention it recognizing it, I assume you mean it shows you playing the game regardless of if the Overlay is working or not?

    Discord is not on the same drive, no.

    Recognizing refers to this



    This will automatically change if I launch Breakpoint regularly. It will change to GRB.exe

    When I launch Vulkan you will see what the image shows.

    The overlay will work fine with the regular .exe, but not Vulkan.

    And yes everything is being run as Admin.

    Hello Mister Soop, thank you for answering our questions and thank you for those helpful images.

    Whilst I am unable to give you any troubleshooting that may fix this issue for the Vulkan mode, other than refer you to the Discord Support website, I will make sure this gets reported to the Breakpoint team, so they can investigate this further and try to reproduce it.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I may need to ask you some further follow up questions, once our QA team has looked into this, stay frosty.
