Overlay Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot common FACEIT Overlay issues and learn how FACEITSync uses real-time FACEIT webhooks to keep your Twitch overlay updated automatically.

If your FACEIT Overlay is not working as expected, the following steps will help you resolve the most common issues. FACEITSync updates overlay data automatically using real-time FACEIT events.

How Overlay Updates Work

FACEITSync uses FACEIT Webhooks to receive real-time notifications when a match starts, ends, or is canceled. This allows the overlay to update instantly without manual interaction.

During an active match, stats are refreshed automatically at regular intervals and synchronized directly with FACEIT.

Overlay Is Blank

  • Make sure you are logged into FACEITSync
  • Verify that Steam or FACEIT is connected in Settings
  • Check that your Overlay URL is correct and complete
  • Refresh the browser source in OBS

Stats Are Not Updating

  • Stats update automatically during active FACEIT matches
  • Ensure you are currently in an active FACEIT match
  • FACEITSync receives match state changes via FACEIT webhooks
  • Check your internet connection
  • Right-click the browser source in OBS and select Refresh

Overlay Looks Broken or Incomplete

  • Clear the OBS browser cache: Right-click source → Properties → Refresh cache

Wrong Stats Are Displayed

  • Check that the correct FACEIT account is linked in your settings
  • If you have multiple FACEIT accounts, ensure the intended one is connected

Match Not Detected
