Is there a way to use the Steam Overlay now?

Post by Idisliketreyarch »

Since the launcher is a different .exe from the game, Steam doesn't recognize the game. So is there a way to make it do this somehow?

Okay. Just wondering if there was a workaround; I really like my in game browser and chat. Oh well.

Just searched the forum for this myself.

Why can't we just add prlauncher.exe to steam?
I can do that with most any non-steam game so i can use the overlay. However i can't get prlauncher to work. It does nothing.

PRLauncher works fine for me through steam, but it won't let you use Steam Overlay in the game.

Probably because the launcher exe is still running.

At least it will tell people that you're playing the game.
