Steam Overlay

[majortomm]

Probably not a bug, but wondered if there was any way to get the Steam overlay working. I think it considers the launcher as the app it's running, so you can't get the overlay over the game.

Having the same issue.

In steam, try to add the launcher to "add non-steam game..." and launch from there.

[CommissarGears]

I have done this, it says "Failed to launch EF_Launcher"

[majortomm]

I am running the launcher via a shortcut created using Steam's "Add non Steam game". As I said it thinks the Launcher is the main app and not CoH.

[Rikard Blixt]

Alright, how about this, go and add "Non-steam game" of RelicCoH.exe.

After that right click on the new link and select properties.  At the end of target add -mod Eastern_Front -dev

[majortomm]

That's brilliant cheers!

(Any chance of an icon? ;-P )

Maybe i'v done it wrong, But it says "Windows cannot find -=FileName=- please make sure you typed it correctly and try it again"

I'v tried redoing it 3 times.

[majortomm]

"E:\My Games\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -mod Eastern_Front -dev

That's mine.

Right click -> properties -> change icon -> select "EF_Launcher.exe" or "Uninstall Eastern Front.exe"

[CommissarGears]

Ah! Now its working, I appreciate you shareing that info

When i tried it mine was at first inside the quotations, then outside it but with no space.

Thanks to you Rizz and Majortomm for the help.

Right click -> properties -> change icon -> select "EF_Launcher.exe" or "Uninstall Eastern Front.exe"

Yeah I tried that first, just I get the little shortcut arrow over the top and thus can't see most of the Icon.

Be careful launching from Steam like this, you will have to manually download updates for EF.

How does this work, if you have COH:OF already running via Steam? So, when you purchased and downloaded COH via Steam?

I added another link of COH in the add non-steam game, but I can't find any path to change or any icon to change?
I just right-click and select properties.

Maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong or if it is possible?
