Awesome, glad to hear! Big Grin Found it a bit by accident when I wanted to display CPU/GPU usage using MSI Afterburner for an unrelated issue :p

*edit*
Seems to work fine with latest MSI Afterburner version (4.6.2): https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-download.html

I'm using MSI Afterburner 4.6.2, What I'm doing differently is using Rivatuner 7.1.0 to combat a different issue with the OSD settings.

Thanks B-S.

If I have it displaying my FPS I get a black screen ingame, if I disable the overlay I can see the game. No idea why it only affects Vulkan tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, if you're using MSI Afterburner (or some other program doing some kind of overlay maybe?), try turning it OFF!

You are a genious! Jus registered on the forum to say that man! I tried everything! I forgot to try to turn off the MSI AFTERBURNER, thanks!!

This helped me figure out my issue as well. 

I am running on a Lenovo Legion with dual graphics cards. I had to open the nvidia control panel and force it to use the nvidia card by selecting "High-performance NVIDIA processor" in the "Manage 3D settings" section.
