Overlay fonts don't work in Action! 4.10.0

Today I decided to move to the new version of Action! (4.10.0) because since 4.8.0 they have a flaw with the overlay sources which I use for Streamlabs alerts in my live shows, they work perfectly in the Action version! 4.7.0 but from then on they don't work anymore and if they do they do it without sound! (DO NOT WORK IN NEW VERSION 4.10.0)

We are currently working on fix for that.
As a workaround you can open this widget in your browser and keep it minimized. That way you will hear when notification come.

We have found what is te problem. While we are working on the solution you can use another workaround:
- go to LIVE tab and scroll down to overlay sources,
- click gear button next to your alert url,
- click on the preview of this overlay
Now alert sound should work.

overlays are rendered at different resolutions, like if im streaming at 720p and playing at 1080p my 1080p overlay is rendered at wrong resolution for 720p

When selecting a specific resolution in the LIVE tab please also make sure to select this resolution in main Video tab so the web overlay will match the resolution and not get bigger or smaller

Hi macxuser,

Ok now I get it. Well currently to persist super sharp overlay image quality we are not scaling them. What we would need to do is to scale down 1080p overlay to 720p or create a 1080p video with 1080p overlay that would be later scaled to 720p on the output. Is there a problem to resize the overlay to 720p on the input? Also if we would create 1080p video and 1080p (and later scale down for encoding) it would consume much more GPU power then needed. So probably soon we will add the possibility to scale overlays on our side. Sorry for the temporary problem!
