### Troubleshooting
<br>
##### I don't see the overlay
1. Make sure your run the game in `Borderless` then completely relaunch the Zar app by navigating to the Windows tray, right clicking the Zar icon and selecting Quit.
2. If it's still not working, try to deactivate `hardware acceleration` in the settings or by right clicking the Zar icon in your Windows tray and deselecting Hardware acceleration.
<br>
##### I have fps drops
1. Switch to using `DX9` in League, directly from the Zar app settings page ( ⚙️ in the top left corner > LoL game renderer > DirectX9).
2. Make sure that your Graphic Card drivers are up to date.
3. Disable `hardware acceleration` and/or enable `low spec mode` from the app settings (⚙️ in the top left corner)
