Steam overlay on Titanfall 2 issue

[Tidgem]

I just want steam overlay on it, It worked the first time I launched it through adding a non-steam game, but since then it resets the video perspective (from fullscreen to windowed) and doesnt have overlay. I also tried adding origin but that doesnt work either, Origin itself starts with steam overlay but then when I launch the game from it, nope no overlay. Launching it on its own with origin closed first gives nothing.

Kinda lost for what to do. Perhaps if I can only recieve comments about helping me that'd be nice :) Thanks.

I had to use glosc to get it to work with certain origin games

Glosc is a tool you can use to get the steam overlay and/or controller working on problematic non-Steam games.

Oh wow I didnt know that existed. Is it simple to use or does it have a walkthrough on the website? :D

It's pretty self explanatory. You run the program and it will automatically add a custom entry in your game library. After that all you have to do is launch the game from steam and it will automatically take care of the rest.

One thing with Titanfall 2 that I encountered was that TF2 would occasionally override my full screen setting which would cause issues. So if that happens, just change your TF2's config to read only.


I'll be back home in a few hours if you need additional help.

Im so dumb, I never saw the "add to steam button" I was clicking save and never thought to read the new button oh well. Thanks though.
Just tried it and it has changed my settings, for example windowed and 30fps max. also I got some "error vigem" at the start but after clicking ok/ignore w/e it dissapeared.

I will try it in read only.

Edit: Big issue. Changing it back to fullscreen got rid of overlay... and I have no idea how to change it to read only :/ I figured there would be a tickbox or something but im guessing it goes in the arguments?
