Fix: BattleBit Remastered Shadowplay Not Working

SgtOkiDoki has recently released BattleBit Remastered as a low-poly, massive multiplayer FPS that supports up to 254 players per server. Though the overall visuals are quite a sandbox kind of element just like Minecraft, the near-fully destructible map with various vehicles looks like a core Battlefield 2042. As the title is getting too many positive reviews for the PC version, it feels quite optimized. But somehow multiple reports are claiming that BattleBit Remastered Shadowplay Not Working on Windows.

Nvidia ShadowPlay is known as Nvidia Share or Nvidia in-game overlay which basically allows screen capture, screen recording, live streaming, etc features. So, whenever you launch a game on the PC, Nvidia GeForce Experience automatically detects it & suggests the user run Nvidia Share or Shadowplay to record gameplay or take screenshots. However, multiple players are reporting that the Nvidia Shadowplay feature doesn’t work while running BattleBit Remastered on the PC.

1. Turn Off and On Nvidia Overlay

First of all, you should manually turn off the Nvidia Overlay option and then turn it on again to ensure there is no issue with the temporary glitch of the GeForce Experience application. To do so:

Click on Settings (gear icon) > From the GENERAL section, Turn On the IN-GAME OVERLAY toggle.
Once done, close the app, and press the Alt+Z keys to launch Nvidia GeForce Overlay.
