How to use xbox game bar performance with LaunchBox?

Hi everyone

My Xbox game bar doesn't show up when I use LaunchBox for some reason. I use it for other Windows games but when trying to turn it on (Win + G) while playing any game with LaunchBox it won't show. Does anyone know how to fix this? If Xbox game bar doesn't work well with LaunchBox, is there any other way to show on my screen the FPS while gaming with LaunchBox?

Yes....assuming they are all applicable to your needs

  • use the emulator's OSD
  • use the game's OSD
  • use your GPU's OSD

most emulators have them, even Retroarch, most "AAA" games have them, and if you have a dGPU installed then your GPU's software has it too......but if you somehow don't have any of those options, then you need additional software. something like Afterburner is quite popular, HWInfo, etc

when you're looking at the emulator or game or your GPU software it would be called something like performance metrics, FPS counter, OSD (on screen display), something along those lines

Personally I use my GPU's OSD. If you have an AMD card installed the hotkey to toggle it is Ctrl+Shift+O

Many thanks for this! I will have a look and see if I can figure it out.
