No i unchecked rivatuner, thought it was some malware crap.

Did you install Rivatuner when you installed AB?

ED: Okey dokes, you know what you gotta do

Yeah, you need to select each thing you want displayed (some need the tick on the left selected too) and then tick the box that says 'show in OSD' on each one.

-Go into settings.
-Monitoring tab.
-You'll see a big ass list of things that afterburner can monitor.
-Click what you want to monitor in the OSD.
-Check the box that says "Show in on screen display"
-You can also change the label of that thing on the OSD by "Override group name"
-Do this for all the things you want to monitor in game (Name them so you know what is what)
-Then go to the On-Screen Display tab.
-Change settings there as you want
-Then click more to open rivatuner
-In there you can customise the size, position, text colour etc of the OSD. You can set individual game profiles too.

After a little playing around you'll find most of it is fairly intuitive.
Hope this helps

is anyone else getting the cannot contact servers on start up for AB?

 

[Disco_P]

Nope, are you using version 4.0.0?

yeah, I just get an error message saying it cannot connect to check for updates. Not sure why. Uninstalled and clean install of it and Riva but still nothing. Appears to be working fine though. Tried downloading through MSI direct and Guru3D

The "fix" for that is to change the update checker to never check for updates.

I know that but it's annoying that it has just started occurring with no explanation as to why

Its normal after not getting new versions of MSI AB for a while, there seems to be a set expiry thingy going on with it, its happened before.

Seem to have resolved it with a run of revo and ccleaner. Thought it may have been the latest beta amd drivers but must have had a few cob webs left over.
