Steam Overlay not working in-game
« on: April 07, 2022, 05:32:25 am »
Hello,

I havnt been able to get my steam overlay working at least a month since I got the game. I've verified steam files, made sure to enable the setting under properties, and re-installed the game without any luck. Does anyone have any other ideas?

So what ended up fixing it was changing the video settings from Borderless window -> Exclusive Fullscreen

Further investigation was that the windowed screen resolution was set to 7680x4320. My screen is nowhere close to being that large. By setting it to the appropriate dimensions under Fullscreen Window, I was able to successfully use steam overlay again.
