Fortnite Ranked Overlay for OBS
A free, live Fortnite ranked overlay for streamers. It shows your rank, ELO, how much you've gained today, your wins and losses, and your season stats, and it updates on its own while you play. Stats come from OliTracker.
It runs as a website. There's nothing to download, install or run on your PC, so no antivirus warnings and nothing to keep updated.
Contents
Set it up
- Open the website and type your Epic name. It finds your account ID for you. You can also paste an account ID or an OliTracker link.
- Pick a design and an accent color. The preview shows demo numbers until you add your account, then your real ones.
- Click Copy OBS link.
- In OBS, add a Browser source, paste the link into URL, keep the size at the default 800 x 600, and click OK.
- Hold Alt and drag the bottom edge of the source up until it sits just under the card. That crops the mode buttons out of your stream.
That's it. The overlay keeps itself up to date. If you change something later, copy the link again and paste it over the old one.
Designs
There are 9 designs. Every one can show season stats, a creator code or nothing at all below the rank (a smaller card), and any accent color works on all of them. On Rainbow, a picked color replaces the rainbow with shades of that color.
Options
Everything is on the setup page, and the link it gives you remembers all of it.
| Option | What it does |
|---|
| Account | Your Epic name, account ID or OliTracker link. |
| Design | One of the 9 above. |
| Accent color | A swatch or any custom color. The header, labels and creator code all follow it. |
| Below your rank | Season stats (K/D, win %, kills, wins) or your creator code. You can flip between them live in OBS. |
| Wins and losses | Adds a "3 WINS, 1 LOSS" footer at the bottom of the card of any design. See below. |
| Mode | Auto, BR, Reload or Boxfights, the mode the overlay starts on. Modes your account hasn't played are greyed out. |
| ELO change | What "+23 ELO TODAY" counts. Session (the default) counts from when you press Reset ELO gain in OBS, and starts over by itself after 3 hours with no ELO change, so each stream opens on +0. Or pick Last 12h or Last 24h. |
| Update speed | Auto checks right after OliTracker refreshes your profile (about every 3 minutes). You can slow it to every 5 or 10 minutes. |
| Leaderboard | Shows your ELO and the gap to the next spot ("14 ELO TO #65"). Turn it off to hide ELO when OliTracker doesn't include it. |
| Background | Only changes the setup page preview (transparent, gameplay or green screen). Your stream sees a transparent overlay. |
| Edit a link you made before | Paste an old link under More options to load all its settings back. |
Below Unreal there's no ELO, so the overlay shows your promotion progress instead, like "53% TO DIAMOND III", and how much of it you gained today.
Using it in OBS
Right-click the Browser source and pick Interact. The buttons under the card only show there, because the crop hides them from your viewers:
- the mode buttons (BR, Reload, Boxfights)
- Stats and Creator Code, to switch what's under your rank, and a box to type a different code
- Reset ELO gain, to start the Session count over (it only shows when ELO change is set to Session)
Can't see all the buttons? Raise the Height in the source's properties. The crop keeps them hidden from viewers either way.
Your last choices are remembered, so the overlay comes back the way you left it.
Wins and losses
You can show your record two ways:
- tick Wins and losses on the setup page to add a footer like "3 WINS, 1 LOSS" to the bottom of any design, or
- pick the Record design to make the record the whole overlay.
It counts the same stretch as your ELO change (Session, Last 12h or Last 24h).
The count comes from your season totals on OliTracker. Every extra match played is a game, and a game that didn't add a win is a loss. OliTracker updates those totals a few minutes after each game, so a win or loss won't show up the second a match ends. The overlay picks it up as soon as OliTracker publishes it.
Boxfights has no season totals on OliTracker, so its record comes from the match list instead.
Troubleshooting
The preview shows the same numbers every time
That's the demo, which shows until you add an account.
A small orange message appears under the overlay
It's the actual problem, and it clears on its own once it's fixed.
- HTTP 404 from OliTracker: the account ID is wrong. Check it on the setup page.
- no ranked data found: the account hasn't played ranked yet.
- no ranked Boxfights games yet, showing BR: the link asks for a mode the account hasn't played, so it shows another one.
- request failed: couldn't reach the proxy: a network hiccup. It retries by itself.
- proxy is busy, trying again shortly: the shared service hit its daily limit or a busy moment. It retries shortly.
It says "no Epic account ID in the link"
The link was made without an account. Add yours on the setup page and copy the link again.
My win or loss isn't showing
OliTracker takes a few minutes to update. See Wins and losses.
