Hello Everyone,
I keep getting an error message whenever I try to use Freestyle on a UWP game. I tried Rise of the Tomb Raider, Minecraft and Shadow of War, all downloaded through xbox gamepass.
I tested it on borderlands 2 and CS:GO and it worked. Both games were bought on steam.
Overwatch also failed, saying the game was not supported (which it is).
Is this a known issue, Freestyle not working with UWP games, or is it a problem on my end? I'm playing a lot of games through GamePass right now and really wanted to use this feature.
Please share your knowledge with me.
Cheers

UWP games do not integrate effectively with OSD monitoring software, such as Freestyle, FRAPs, and comparable overlay/monitoring tools, presenting a significant disadvantage for these titles.

Increased awareness is developing. Relevant content is primarily dated 2-3 years prior. This remains unresolved and regrettable. The desired experience of playing Metro Exodus utilizing the Sharpen filter was unattainable.

UWP is a work in progress; the Wiki provides a more explanatory resource. It frequently encounters issues due to overlays of various kinds. Considering that random games, even without UWP, occasionally experience problems related to overlays, it's reasonable to anticipate similar occurrences with UWP.
