Discord, the app that has taken over communications in the gaming space, just announced a massive update to its PC client and its overlay, promising improvements to almost every aspect of the popular app. Watch the bizarre, as usual, announcement of the overhaul above.

The overlay is what's receiving the biggest shake-up. Discord is saying this widely used feature has been rebuilt from "the ground up to help make talking with friends while playing your favorite games smoother than ever."

The biggest change is the way the overlay functions, ditching the original "hacky" game hook method for attaching to the window. The development team says that this has even been affecting game performance. The new overlay is said to be much snappier, thanks to its use of a new rendering method.
