Steam Overlay
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.

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

Re: Steam Overlay
I have done this, it says "Failed to launch EF_Launcher"

Re: Steam Overlay
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.

Re: Steam Overlay
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

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.

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

Re: Steam Overlay
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?
