The Mumble client for PC has a function included called Overlay that can show connected and/or talking voice participants. | The Mumble client for PC has a function included called Overlay that can show connected and/or talking voice participants. | ||
The Overlay can give you feedback about who is connected or who is talking when the application would otherwise obscure this information, basically overlaying it over the top of your game client. Even if you have Mumble open on a second monitor, the overlay may be a useful addition as it can be positioned freely on the primary monitor. <ref>[https://www.mumble.info/documentation/user/in-game-overlay Mumble in-game Overlay Documentation] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref> | The Overlay can give you feedback about who is connected or who is talking when the application would otherwise obscure this information, basically overlaying it over the top of your game client.

This is especially useful during fleet operations where you have not necessarily flown with the members previously so you may not recognize their voices yet. During high pressure PvP fights it happens often enough that someone calls out "Warp to me", so with the Overlay running you have a quick and easy way to see at a glance who that was. | This is especially useful during fleet operations where you have not necessarily flown with the members previously so you may not recognize their voices yet.

=== Deactivating DirectX 12 === | |||
[[File:Game_Client_DirectX_12.JPG|thumb|Remove the checkmark from DirectX 12]] | |||
Currently (as of May 2023) the Overlay does not work with DirectX 12 so the first step is to deactivate that in your EVE game client: <ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/mumble/comments/vmtb8h/eve_online_updated_to_use_dx12_anyway_to_get/ Reddit Eve Online Updated to use DX12, Anyway to get Overlay Working?] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref> | Currently (as of May 2023) the Overlay does not work with DirectX 12 so the first step is to deactivate that in your EVE game client: <ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/mumble/comments/vmtb8h/eve_online_updated_to_use_dx12_anyway_to_get/ Reddit Eve Online Updated to use DX12, Anyway to get Overlay Working?] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref> | ||

== Troubleshooting == | |||
* Q: The Overlay does not show up although I have done everything above. | |||
* A: Try starting and connecting to Mumble before you start the EVE client. | |||
* Q: It works! But now my ships look wonky! | |||
* A: Deactivating DirectX 12 may lead to some of the ship skins not showing up correctly. <ref>[https://forums.eveonline.com/t/directx-12-related-issues/368493 EVE Forums DirectX 12 related issues] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref> There may also be other graphic fidelity losses by deactivating DirectX 12. | |||
