Steam overlay

[Derfel]

I can't bring up the steam overlay to close CD key window. What's the problem?

Edit: Do I even need a CD Key? Online games doesn't work :/

Did you ever get that fixed?

I tried the game out for the first time today and I'm having the same problem, everything runs fine but I can't get the overlay to work so I can close the CD key tab.

[Derfel]

No, unfortunately. I guess it will never be fixed like other 1c games.

Fixing the overlay functionality requires patching the game executable which isn't possible without help of former developers. We're trying to get it fixed, meanwhile you can uncheck the Steam community option on the first tab of the properties of the game in Steam library so the overlay won;t be shown.

Derfel, what problems you're having with 'other 1c games'?

[Derfel]

Theatre of War 2 (all of them) games are unplayable because of the performance problems, Theatre of War 3 freezing + performance problems, Men of War Condemned Heroes (is this ever patched?) and Vietnam bugs. Necrovision barely works, Death to Spies unplayable because of the mouse lag and bugs.

Sneaksie, поскольку overlay не открывается, то ввести ключ в XIII невозможно? Я больше не нашел способа ввести указанный ключ. Без него игра работает. Для чего предназначен ключ к игре?

[Sneaksie(RUS)]

Ключ нужен для мультиплеера через Интернет, сервер которого временно не работает. Скоро должны его запустить снова, тогда при подключении в первый раз попросит ключ.

Derfel, it depends on what you call performance problems. They require a powerful CPU, that's true (number of cores isn't as important as CPU frequency though since these games are several years old). You can also turn game speed down to 1/2

What kind of problems you're having with Condemned Heroes and Vietnam?

Regarding mouse lag in DtS, do you have an expensie gaming mouse? Lowering its polling frequency from 1000Hz to 500 or 200 could help in number of games that were made before such kind of hrardware was available.

Which other bugs you're experiencing in Necrovision and DtS? Though it would be better if you post about them in these games specific forums.

Any news?

I just got the game today, and the overlay is hindering my gaming experience...
And the access violation engine.exe keep poping out when I tried the blood campaign thingy...

You can uncheck the steam interface activation on the steam settings:
Steam -> Settings -> On game

My apologies if the Steam option's captions are not exact. I translated from the Spanish version of Steam.

its 2015 and the steam overlay still doesn't work..My bro feels betrayed......
