using Steam Overlay with PR?

Post by cardenas »

I did a quick search and didn't find any info.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the Steam overlay while playing PR. Anyone have any tips for getting this up and running?

No, I don't think it is possible.

I bought a steam copy of vBF2 recently so a friend of mine can squad up with me and I tried everything to stop PB from kicking the steam version out of game. The only thing that worked was turning off the Steam overlay. It's either that or find a server without PB, which I don't think exists.

I could be totally wrong though.

I did exactly that before I posted and I can never get the overlay to show up...

Romagnolo, how can you use it in combination with PB servers?
Because when I enable the steam overlay I get kick from the servers... :(

My friend also gets kicked from the servers, I personally can't even get the overlay to display anymore (steam still runs fine when I launch through it). The overlay worked back before .9 came out, but once that happened it just stopped working.

If it matters, I have the boxed version and so does my friend. Any thoughts? Rather frustrating to see the loss of the overlay. The suggestion doesn't work for me unfortunately, but thats how I had it running all the time, never changed it from pre to post .9
