We found the reason for the incompatibility with Escape from Tarkov

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...
