Oh that's good news. I never use the overlay anyway

LOL that's hilarious. I use rivatuner with every single game to help with frametimes. Not allowing OBS/XSplit while in fullscreen? That's ridiculous. So you want us to play windowed/borderless while we stream? Okay Bungie, okay. Hopefully there's a way to hook in rivatuner else I won't be playing it. I've never heard of a team/game actively blocking stuff like this. Especially streaming software.

luckily i run most games borderless window anyways so i can tab out and check neogaf/porn.

Lmao this entire thread needs to be locked. It's just spewing misinformation.
OP is completely wrong, and didn't research his post. You can still use Shadowplay's framerate counter.
You can still use a external cpu/gpu usage system. (Task Manager)
This actually makes perfect sense since they want to stop cheaters.
It's not even blocking anything.
tl;dr we tested some shit that we know works and if your program doesn't work tough shit.

Kinda related but, is the beta only for people who pre-order the game? Or there'll be an open beta?

Same deal yup early access with open beta.
Oh wow LMAO.

I do happen to run my games windowed while streaming. But I also run a 3440x1440, so I need games windowed so I can see chat, etc.

Some people in here seem to forget that when an application blocks RTSS it doesn't record FPS numbers even for later review/logging.
That part of the graph will just be blank. Same with Frametimes.
All the other stuff (GPU Temps, Usage, Power, etc...) will be logged since it's coming from the driver and not the game.

They just never tested it. So it could still work fine.

True, if it's just unsupported but if it's actively blocked (see any game with EAC prior to RTSS versions being whitelisted) then it will not work.
It all depends on how exactly Bungie is handling it.

Knowing Bungie it'll be internal like Valve's and Blizzards. I don't see them outsourcing their anticheat.

So no worries then.
Since also Nvidia has built in recording and now AMD does. It's literally no point to be annoyed. That and OBS still works which is nice as well.

Wait, so they just won't work, or you'll get banned for using them? I don't think there's any way to turn off Rivatuner from launching with Afterburner aside from uninstalling.
I'd assume they'd partner with Blizzard's Overwatch team given that it's releasing on Battle.net, but I'm not sure if that's just a financial partnership or if they share devs (beyond Battle.net feature implementation).

Just seems like they don't want me to play their game. And I don't know why.
EDIT: Upon reading more closely, it sounds like these programs are "incompatible." Is that like saying that they just won't work? No other issues beyond that?
Sure would like my normal overlay to work. Going out of my way to find another method just for Destiny 2 might not be worth the hassle.

I'd assume they just haven't been tested properly so they probably wont work.
I'm also pretty sure shadowplay has an FPS counter......so not sure what they are trying here. Maybe they don't want unofficial tech...............nothing here makes sense
Yes, this sounds like they haven't been tested yet and thats why. Seems like most overlays and stuff haven't been tested for the beta client......I wouldn't consider a huge deal atm. Doesn't seem like they are trying to hide anything yet. Almost all the apps they listed that you can officially use have FPS counters and what not.
I mean even discord overlay they said is not recommended. To me it sounds like it will either work, work and impact performance, or just not work at all since its not officially tested yet

what about using the built in screen capture on windows 10?
either way i don't really care. as long as they don't try restrict game capture at launch. i don't personally record myself playing games but it'd be a shame if we couldn't watch others play online.

The OP is misleading.
Shadowplay doesn't inject code into the game, so it's fully supported.
OBS and such are supported fully too, just in windowed mode.
I totally stealth responded on ya 3 posts above lol
Where can I purchase the high and mighty horse you found yourself on top of?

I can roughly tell my frame rate just by looking, it gets tougher when your PC can't run the game well. I've also had monitors that show your current refresh rate in Gsync. They have no obligation to support third party crap people load on their PCs. It's critical they keep the game secure. They might even have framerate capture within the game, like BF.

hopefully the same place they sell an editor for misleading thread title.
Don't be silly.
Yet we still get double the frame rate regardless of half ass ports
I get the feeling you thought this was some kind of sharp put-down. I'm glad you get double the frame rates, it makes no odds to me. I enjoy playing on a PC as much as anywhere else.

God forbid people have the expectation of being able to use the Steam Overlay to talk to their friends (or any other client including GOG if they're not massive Diablo/Starcraft/World of Warcraft/Overwatch players).
”Who's talking" and visual notification features, such as those provided by Discord or Mumble, are not compatible with Destiny 2. Notification features may still be provided through the third-party application. "
Considering there are massive discords already set up for Destiny 2 and there'll be a lot of PUGs using VOIP like Discord and Mumble and TS3 where people don't know each other's voices, this will suck too.
Not sure if you're being serious here my dude.

Yet we still get double, even triple the frame rate regardless of half ass ports
daaamn! burn! well said.
salty console owners about 30fps.
Having friends lists across numerous different ecosystems and chat clients is one of the biggest cons for PC gaming though, at least it is for me personally. It's inevitable that not every game is able to properly support every service you might ever want to use with it.
I am being serious, I just didn't think people would be taking it to heart quite as much as they seem to have though!
The fact that you are saying this makes it clear that you have no understanding of how the PC ecosystem works, and that you have probably never done any gaming of note on the platform.
On topic, I can understand where they are coming from, and I am not upset, as long as there are software that will let you record regardless of PC configuration.
It would be nice if they allow us to toggle the display of framerate/frametimes from within the game, like Doom.
In my opinion, that would solve the issue.

If you turn off framerate and frametime monitoring in Afterburner's settings then RTSS won't auto launch with it. Alternatively, you can always set application detection level to None from within RTSS.
