Steam fps counter not working in GTA V

P4-630 · Mar 12, 2017

As the title says.

When I startup GTA V Social Club launches and I see the Steam fps counter in that window.
Once the main game starts up there is no Steam fps counter at all.... :wtf:

I do get a confirmation from Steam about the overlay or something when the main game starts, shift+tab in the game should bring up a Steam menu or something? Well that isn't working...

It's not that a biggie though since the fps counter from RTSS is working.

But if there's a simple fix for it, I'd like to fix it.

It's just not working on my gaming laptop, on my desktop it's working fine.

Are you using in launch options for the game? That disables it, or running through big picture mode.

Uhmm, a commandline.txt file I have one on the laptop yes if you mean that.
As far as I remember it has always worked!

I just checked, I have a commandline.txt file on my desktop for GTA V as well and the Steam fps counter is working in GTA V on my desktop.

I never use big picture mode.

rtss overlay can interfere with other overlays and not let them render.Turn off Show own stattistics in rtss.or even make a profile for gta5 and disable it.

Actually I enabled the fps counter in RTSS because the Steam one didn't show up for some reason.
Ok so they won't work together.

Any other things I should check?

Are you using trainers/mods? Some use overlays for the trainer menu.

Yes I'm using a trainer for GTA V on both my laptop and desktop but never had a problem with the Steam fps counter not showing up before and it's still working fine on my desktop.
No mods.

I just turned off the RTSS on screen display support.
The steam fps counter only shows up in social club and not in the main game...

Ok I guess I'll keep using the RTSS fps counter then on my laptop , at least that works.

Thanks!

Are you lagging or glitching?

If you right click on the game in steam and go to properties, there is a Set Launch Options entry.

Not anymore, I just fixed the sloppy gameplay, reinstalled graphic driver, trimmed SSD's and such.
GTA V runs smooth at a locked 40fps again on my laptop, always have the fps counter enabled.

Not using that, it's blank.

Edit: I have the Steam overlay turned on everywhere but it only works in Social Club not anymore when the main game starts.
