Missing Overlay DLL!

Getting this message when launching 2.0.6... same thing happens with the GOG release

Hi Mawthra, thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please give us the info that you get in "About Steam"? Built, Steam API, Steam package Version?

But like I said, I get the same exact dialog error when launching the GOG release through Galaxy 2.0, so seems like (for me) it's not isolated to Steam... I'm on Windows 11 Pro 21H2, 5950X, 3080 Ti, 32GB RAM, super lean vanilla MSDN Windows install and I only use this machine for gaming, so just has Steam and Galaxy installed outside of the up-to-date NVIDIA drivers

Thanks, I understand that you get the error in GOG too, we just had to check the Steam Version because this is one possible cause for this error. Unfortunately this is not a straightforward problem because we don't have much to work with.

Based on what I heard, a full reinstall of Steam and Gog could do the trick.

You could also try to see if you have a Player.log here:
AppData\LocalLow\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Insurmountable\

If so, it would be great if you could join our Discord and drop your Log there, maybe we find some clues there. Otherwise, if the full reinstall doesn't work, we will need some time to figure this out.

Thanks again!

Greetings. I am also getting missing overlay dll

I got it too. What does it mean?

We are looking into this problem and hope to be able to provide a solution soon. Again, as maxim.suckow suggested three messages above mine, it might be helpful if you drop us your logfile in case it was created.
A possible cause for this might be that DirectX is not installed or at least not installed properly, so that is something you could try. However, this is just a guess a this point. We will update you as soon as we exactly know the cause of this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi again, to specify, does the popup keep you from playing the game?

If so, what should help start the game is to install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2022:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Please let us know if it works!

I am getting the same issue and reinstalling Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 did not fix the issue.
It does not stop me from playing the game but it is irritating (though not irritating enough to warrant a full reinstall of Steam)

I would also like to point out that I can't find any overlay issues apart from the error message. It does not mention which overlay the DLL belongs to but both the Steam overlay and nVidia overlay still work with the game.

same problem in windows 10

Likewise, though I can still take screenshots and such and I think it requires the overlay to function to do that so I'm not sure if anything is actually not working save getting the odd error message.

Boreka and Arathian, may I ask if you also have Nvidia Cards?
