Adding Steam Overlay to Star wars Battlefront 2 (2017)

[Senko]

When I start BF2 via Steam the overlay will not open. Anyone know how to find a way to make it work?

Try the following: Completely exit ORIGIN but set the login to auto, so you dont need to fill in your password when ORIGIN starts.
Then add the Battlefront 2.exe to Steam as a non Steam game.
If you now start the game over Steam, ORIGIN should open automatically and the game starts.
With that method i managed to get most ORIGIN games to use the overlay correctly.
Does not work for all , but a lot. Cant speak for Battlefront 2 since i dont own it but it worked for Battlefront 1.

Oh and also, deactivate the ORIGIN Ingame Overlay since that can interfere with the Steam one.

I did that before creating this, so I would assume it was made to conflict considering it's EA. many thanks though!
