Vulcan messing with overlays.

Tried using the Vulkan renderer this league but I noticed it seems to put POE on top of any other overlay or notification. Can't see live search notifications, cant see mercury trade, cant see lab compass. If I turn off Vulcan everything works fine. Is there a workaround for this or just "beta is beta"

beta is beta
dx is smooth and fluid (in town) and vulkan is choppy and shows white tiles all the time (same settings, also in town).

vulkan also makes gpu run slightly hotter.

couldnt find a single positive side to this iteration of vulkan.

*even if vulkan ended up giving a slight performance advantage, they removed the option to turn off post-processing which is not helping performances.
1 step forward 2 steps backwards.

I would like to say Vulkan works great for me ( it is good ) but I cannot switch back to DX to compare.
When I try to, the client freezes.

~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
Vulkan crashes my laptop or runs worse on my desktop. Some other random settings to disabled too. Maybe one day
Vulcan is so good. 100+ fps, some graphic problems no big deal.

There's a software that lets you play windowed mode in fullscreen. That way you should be able to use mercury trade etc. Can't remember the name right now, borderless gaming or something...
that type of overlays is bannable, right? because it's mess with the client, right?

It has been known since vulkan was introduced. GGG know it already, too. With everything that's been going on, though...I doubt that's a priority :p
