ELDEN RING Overlay Hook

A Windows DLL overlay mod for Elden Ring that hooks into the DirectX 12 rendering pipeline and renders ImGui-based overlays. It uses a modular plugin architecture — the core loader (EROverlay.dll) discovers and loads individual overlay DLLs from the overlays/ folder at runtime.

Included overlays:

• Boss — tracks boss kill counts, supports challenge mode and custom display formats
• Achievements — tracks Steam achievement progression in real time
• Minimap — renders an in-game minimap with configurable size, scale, and shape

⚠️ Compatibility Note

Do not use this mod alongside overlays such as FPS Counter in Nvidia GeForce Experience, MSI Afterburner, or RivaTuner Statistics Server. They hook the same DirectX APIs and will cause the game to crash.

Installation

1. Edit the .ini files in the configs/ folder to your liking (see Configuration below).

2. Inject EROverlay.dll into Elden Ring using one of the following methods:

   Method	Instructions
   Proxy DLL (recommended)	Rename EROverlay.dll to winhttp.dll and place it next to eldenring.exe. Also copy the configs/ and data/ folders to the same directory.
   Mod loader	Load EROverlay.dll via EldenModLoader, ModEngine2, or me3.
   Injector	Run the bundled injector.exe. (Not recommended — unstable and may be blocked by security software.)

3. Wait a few seconds for the mod to finish loading. Press = to toggle between mini and full mode.

The loader maintains backward compatibility — you only need to ensure the Overlay Loader version meets the minimum requirement for any given overlay module.
