Just its interface and stuff, not a fan

 

 

I just don't use it anymore.

I have better things to do.

 

 

you see whos talking in the top left, i like it.

 

 

I found overwolf to be some installer bloatware that TS should never have attempted to integrate. Just another useless process running in the background (IMHO)

 

 

If you play with a ton of people on TS then it is the thing for you, it shows you who on TS is talking.

Other than that I don't know of it's functionality, basically just a simple overlay for games, similar to steam, origin and raptr.

I don't find it necessary though, I use TS for ARMA 3, and there we have TFR (an addon that simulates proximity and radio comms on TS). I often know who is talking anyway.

 

Thanks. :0)

I"m setting up teampseak etc. Is Overwolf worth installing?

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.
