GOverlay is an open source project aimed to create a Graphical UI to manage Vulkan/OpenGL overlays. It is still in early development, so it lacks a lot of features.
This project was only possible thanks to the other maintainers and contributors that have done the hard work. I am just a Network Engineer that really likes Linux and Gaming.
Here are the dependencies needed in order to make GOverlay run:
mangohud
- Configure MangoHudmesa-demos
- OpenGL previewvulkan-tools
- Vulkan previewvkBasalt
- Configure vkBasaltreplay-sorcery
- Instant replay solutiongit
- Clone reshade repositoryqt5pas
- Free Pascal Qt5 binding library updated by lazarus IDE
