Ever since the swap over to Overwolf, I've had nothing but issues. Having Overwolf open makes my game run very slowly, and I drop a lot more frames now. Exiting once I've got everything launched seems to help. But I shouldn't have to end a task that is supposed to be part of the package. And for the program to actually slow down my game is incredibly aggravating. The biggest thing that I don't understand is that it takes twice as long to load the game now. And if I restore the game launcher, and close the FTB one? Even longer wait times. You'd think it be shorter because I'm not streaming all those ads that are being thrown at me. And on the ads, I know you have to make money, and I fully support that. But the amount of ads is ridiculous. My game also consistently freezes and disconnects me from servers now. I have lag issues I didn't have previously. I'm just frustrated with the sharp downhill turn FTB has taken. I know I'm not alone, as everyone I'm playing Revelation with is experiencing the same issues. It feels as if Overwolf was not optimized for this, and was just kinda slapped into the FTB launcher so that ads can be shown to us for several minutes while we launch. I hated Overwolf for Overwatch, and I hate it for Minecraft.
Obviously, Overwolf isn't going away, it's now part of FTB. But I hope there will be changes made in the future, to Overwolf and FTB as a whole, to better the experience for the players.
