First off, the 64-bit version of Teamspeak 3 is required.

Grab the Overlay Plugin from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/75yjh6iid7kt022/ts3_overlay-v3.7.23.ts3_plugin
 
So once those are installed, open up your overlay config file by copy/pasting this line into your Run dialogue, or Explorer address bar: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ts3overlay\config_user.ini

(open with Wordpad if asked, though I prefer Notepad++ for it's formatting)

First, set "x64.enable=true" In the [Global] section at the top of the config_user.ini. This can also be done  in TS by going to the Settings for the Plug-in. This quirk of having to enable 64-bit by default seems to be unique to BF4.

Make a space anywhere under the [Global] section, and paste this in:

[BF4.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true
dll.defer_injection=15000
x64.enable=true

That's it!

Naturally, make sure the Overlay is enabled by going to Teamspeak window and hitting Setting - Plugins - and make sure its' box is checked. Thanks to Cpl.Kckinwa for being my guinea pig on this.

For the record, I think the Overwolf Overlay is terrible, and its' focus is not simply seeing who's talking, and gaming. So I'm no help with troublshooting it.


EDITS: change defer_injection to 15000, enable 64-bit by default to global. I now have it workign all the time, and it plays nice with the Origin overlay. I noticed that if i have the Origin overlay disabled completely, then the defer_injection line is not required.

Added new new link to plugin

It doesn't work for me. This the was I have it installed, am I doing something wrong?

[globals]
initial_warning_dialog_shown=3.7.23

[BF4.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true
dll.defer_injection=5000
x64.enable=true

[CLIENT.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true

That post was for the Beta  which i guess i should have mentioned.  Though i would have expected it to work. The rain to add the 'defer injection'  is that it would conflict with the Origin Overlay.  Try disabling it. I'm waiting for a hardware upgrade before i purchase bf4,  so i am unable to test it for myself.  Once i get it,  I'll figure it out.

Unfortunately, the development for this overlay has stopped, and the guy has left eh Teamspeak team and has started a whole new overlay, which you can find at projectkryptonite.com . THough it is in early Beta stages, but is far from finished, and the instructions are a little convoluted. You can slways try the Overwulf overlay, or there's a Fraps-like program called Playclaw that has some TS3 overlay features.

EDIT: Okay I've poked around other forums and using the usual method seems to work for some, not for others.

Thanks Abram for your help, and all the information.

Bump. Just got the game and found out the specifics on getting it to work for me. First post edited.

If your'e having trouble getting it working, try adding these lines under [BF4.exe]

dll.retry_injection_after_seconds=10
statistics.doesnt_crash_in_version=3.7.23


My Overlay works every single time now. My BF4.exe entry look like this:

[BF4.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true
dll.defer_injection=15000
x64.enable=true
overlay.initialization.ypos=-1
overlay.initialization.xpos=-1603
overlay.initialization.width=316
overlay.initialization.height=1200
overlay.display.fontsize=12
popup.initialization.xpos=2892
popup.initialization.width=611
popup.initialization.ypos=7
overlay.display.fontcolor.muted=FF104D89
dll.retry_injection_after_seconds=10
videorecording.enable=true
ingameconfig.enable=true
screenshots.enable=true
statistics.doesnt_crash_in_version=3.7.23

Keep in mind that the xpos/ypos positioning values are for a 3-display setup,and placement will go wonky, on a single screen setup.

Thanks Abram,

What should the xpos/ypos be for single screen?

No clue.  Though you can move it around once it's running on a game.  Once it starts working you will get the Overlay logo on the centre of the screen. Then you can tap your activation hotkey -  whichis  in the plugin settings in TS (default is "/" on your keypad i believe) -  then you can drag it around as you would any other window. I suppose i can run a game on one screen and see what values i get.  But I'm off to bed now.

Thanks Abram, I will try it and let you know.

Still can't get it to work. These are my settings. Is there something I have to activate in the game?

[globals]
x64.enable=true
initial_warning_dialog_shown=3.7.23

[BF4.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true
dll.defer_injection=15000
x64.enable=true
overlay.initialization.ypos=-1
overlay.initialization.xpos=-1603
overlay.initialization.width=316
overlay.initialization.height=1200
overlay.display.fontsize=12
popup.initialization.xpos=2892
popup.initialization.width=611
popup.initialization.ypos=7
overlay.display.fontcolor.muted=FF104D89
dll.retry_injection_after_seconds=10
videorecording.enable=true
ingameconfig.enable=true
screenshots.enable=true

[CLIENT.EXE]
dll.force_loading=true

Pretty sure all is correct. Well, except the position values. Though that will not stop it from starting.  I foudn taht if positional values are incompatible with your display the program will shove it towards a corner.

You are using the 64-bit version of Ts3, right?

Tipster managed to get it working. He didn't have the 64-bit Teamspeak.

Thanks again Abram, it works great.
