    So I'm having this problem with TeamSpeak where if I'm running the overlay (which is something I like to do) and I move/am moved to a different channel, MWO crashes. It also happens if I try to connect to TS while already running MWO. Which basically means I can't use the overlay. Anybody have any ideas/suggestions as to how to fix the problem?

    I can't help answer that, but I can ask another question;

    Since I upgraded to win8, I can not get overlay to work ,it gives no errors and all appears to be set up for overlay.

    In order for overlay to work properly, both Teamspeak and MW:O need to run as Admin in Windows.

    However, even if it works, usually it crashes for me too after a while and it's quite annoying. Sometimes it even causes MW:O to crash also. It's far from stable so yes basically you don't have TS overlay in MW:O.

    Ok I just found this and it seems quite helpful and a good way to bypass the teamspeak overlay problem.

    If you have an android phone, you can use the Android TS3 Remote Plugin and have the channel in the display of your android phone. Very useful in my opinion and quite easy to setup :)

    Really? Admittedly I've got Win 7 at this point, so no idea about Win 8 (I really hate the OS from the little bit I've seen of it), but I've had the TS overlay running now for months without any problems. Yes, i've crashed MW:O a bit, but I always though that was an MWO problem, not a TS / Overlay issue.

    As to how, the steps I ALWAYS go through are:

    1) Open TS as Admin (easiest thing to do is right click your icon for TS3, go to properties, go to Compatibility tab and click the "Run this program as administrator." flag...then you just double click the icon).
    2) Log in to TS so you're in the Skjaldborg (or other) server.
    3) Open MW:O and log in through, the overlay should work.

    MW:O always prompts me to open as admin so I think I set that too.

    With this process I can't say as I've ever had the overlay crash on me.
