Overlay Manager closes automatically

[dragonbrn]

Hello!

I have ACT version 3.3.3, FFXIV ACT Plugin 1.7.2.7 and ACTWebSocket 1.3.3.9. I have set up the plugin as per the instructions of MopiMopi overlay, and it was working fine for months until one week back, where, now, after starting ACT, the Overlay Manager closes in around a minute of ACT starting up. I need to click on the "Start/Stoop OverlayProc manually" but it again closes in a couple of seconds. I tried re-installing ACTWebSocket, and it worked fine for two days but still went back to the same issue.

I have no clue where to find any help regarding this.

I also have ReShade 4.x installed if it is of any importance.

Exact same issue.

No reshade in my case, and every single version of OverlayProc is crashing. Started happening after I updated the FFXIV ACT Plugin to 1.7.2.7.

Exact same issue otherwise.

Windows Defender, Avast cause this issue. exclude overlayproc

@lalafellsleep what exactly of overlayproc?

[dragonbrn]

I have added the overlay proc executable to both Windows Defender and Bitdefender's firewall and scan exception lists. The issue still persists.

I friend of mine has exactly the same Issue.

@lalafellsleep we tried your idea of excluding the whole folder of Overlayproc from Windows Defender. But it didn't help.

I have the issue of OverlayProc manager immediately Not Responding upon launching. A clean reinstall of ACT, a clean reinstall of WebSocket, turning Windows Defender off completely, nothing seems to get it to work again.
