Issue with an overlay for Path of Exile 2

Hello! Is there any sort of general solution for overlay applications? For example, trying to run exile exchange results in a non fullscreen game with overlay as a separate tile, otherwise a completely empty window (if overlay is fullscreen).

There is a similar app for PoE 1 with solutions that actually works for PoE 1 but doing similar for PoE 2 doesn’t really help, for example with:

windowrule = float, class:^(Exiled-exchange-2)$
windowrule = noblur, class:^(Exiled-exchange-2)$
windowrule = noborder, class:^(Exiled-exchange-2)$
windowrule = pin, class:^(Exiled-exchange-2)$

windowrule = float, class:^(steam_app_2694490)$
windowrule = fullscreen, class:^(steam_app_2694490)$
windowrule = stayfocused, class:^(steam_app_2694490)$

Pin in general should do it… I don’t know why it doesn’t work for you.

For screenshots, do you get any specific error in the network tab of devtools when uploading? I can upload screenshots just fine. File size limit should be 10 Megs.

Regarding screenshot

Seems like it cant get the script, probably that’s causing eternal “Processing upload”?

Seems to be the same in both brave and firefox.
