FPS Monitor News

[h2]Changelog for this update #5472:[/h2]

• Hardware access module is updated to access the latest PC hardware (Nvidia RTX 4000, AMD CPU and GPU 7000 series etc)
  
• Fixed monitoring of legacy CPU Usage on Windows 11. You are no longer required to use alternative CPU Utility sensors as in version #5440
  
• Added DDR5 memory temperature sensors «SPD Hub Temperature». You can add them in the MEM tab when SMBus support is enabled in advanced settings
  
• Improved performance with Vulkan apps and games
  
• Added a new special overlay «Mirror to Desktop Advanced» (upgrade for the original «Mirror to Desktop» overlay).
  
  This overlay allows to draw over desktop and fullscreen games, even anti-cheat protected like Destiny 2, CS2, Battlefield 2042, etc. The only thing it cannot do is to draw over Vulkan powered fullscreen games. Also it is impossible to get process specific information (like FPS) using this overlay because FPS Monitor doesn't inject any code into the target process
  

This build has updated hardware sensors module which fixes the issue with wrong CPU usage on Windows 11 after latest Windows updates (22H2). Added "Total CPU Utility" sensor in CPU block. If you see the difference between FPS Monitor and Task Manager, try to use this sensor instead of default.

Hello everyone!

This minor update fixes incompatibilities with some games, for example Apex Legends, as well as changes from the last beta 5420:

• We found the cause of the problems with Escape from Tarkov
  
• Compatibility fixes with UWP games
  
• Added and improved support for new hardware
  

Hello boys and girls!
If you play EFT then this information will be useful for you.

We've received reports of overlays disappearing after a few minutes of mission gameplay. They disappeared only in PvP mode and not in PvE. A lot of tests and experiments haven't shown anything useful :( Everything should work without any problems, but it doesn't work...

We tried to ask the developers about this issue and they claimed that they do not block our software. EFT uses BattlEye anti-cheat and our FPS Monitor is in its white list.

Hopeless situation...

We have tried the last idea and it worked! FPS Monitor injects its own DLL into a game process for interception of GPU rendering and adding its own overlays (as all overlays software do). Our DLLs are named fpsmon32.dll (for 32-bits games) and fpsmon64.dll (for 64-bits games as EFT). We've prepared a new build with renamed DLLs and tested this new build with EFT. And this trick works like a charm! You can test this build by yourself and tell us your opinion. Of course this build works with other games too :)

To install this build you need to switch to the beta branch. In the Steam client, open Properties for FPS Monitor, click to the "Betas" tab and select "beta - beta" branch. Then redownload the program.

A bit of conspiracy :)
Do you know what that means? Something interferes with fpsmon64.dll but it doesn't this with fps-mon64.dll (as in this test build). That is, something checks the names of all DLLs loaded in the game process and does its bad job depending on the name. Something only in EFT ;)

p. s. people say that Discord has the same problem with EFT. Why??! :) Discord and FPS Monitor...

Hello everybody!
We wish you a merry Christmas and happy New Year! :)
