PlayStation Overlay on Steam not working

[GobGeek]

Hi. I have my Steam account linked to my PSN account. I'm completing achievements in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered simultaneously on Steam and PSN. The problem is that the PSN overlay does not work when I click Shift + F1 in any Sony game. Can anyone help?

Indeed, Shift+F1 does not work until the overlay is opened using F from the main menu. Probably a bug introduced by the latest patch that updated the PSN SDK.

They fixed the game from not closing with the previous PS SDK and it seems they introduced another bug where Shift + F1 doesn't work anymore without hitting F on the main menu. You may want to submit a ticket to Nixxes help desk.

F is working fine for me at the main menu. You might want to check to see if the SDK is installed. You will find it in your installed apps from settings in Windows 10/11. If it's installed, you can always uninstall it and reinstall it to see if that fixes it. I generally always restart my computer after uninstalling something, just to make sure before re-installation. :)

Once the game loads and you have the main menu with the label on the bottom right that says "F PlayStation Interface", type F and it should work, exit the overlay and after that Shift+F1 should work in a loaded save.

There is probably a loss of initial registration of a method callback since the last patch, then corrected by the overlay when opened a first time with F, either because of a change in the PSN SDK API or a bug introduced into the game code.

I uninstalled the PlayStaion SDK. The problem now is where to download it to reinstall? :D Because it's nowhere to be found and the Sony games won't run now.

PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi can be found in the \steamapps\common\Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered\ folder wherever you have the actual game installed.

Double click the PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi file inside the folder to install the PS SDK.
