If it doesn't work then it doesn't work. Sadly BF4 isn't on Steam, so there is no support for the game with the Steam client / overlay.

battlefield 3 isnt on steam either, yet it works just fine......

You must add the Origin client executable to steam in order to allow the steam overlay to work on Battlefield 4, pretty much like BF3.

This does not work any more.

I hope this helps everyone. For hours and hours, I have searched the web for solutions, as well as tried them out myself. I have then complied steps on how to get it working. As well as reasons for the steps.

STEPS:
1. Add origin.exe as a non-steam game. After doing that, rename it to Battlefield 4 if you like.

2. Disable Origin In-Game Overlay
-At Origin's menu, select Application Settings, and under Origin In-Game, uncheck "Enable Origin In Game"
-After an Origin Update, Steam overlay and origin overlay do not like being together. If you do enable both of them correctly, they will crash the game. This includes Battlefield 3 as well.

3. Run Battlefield 4 in 32-bit mode (x86)
-Go to origin, right-click Battlefield 4, select Game Properties. Under "When launching this game", select Battlefield 4 (x86).
-Steam overlay does not support 32-bit (x86) games yet.

Well that's about it. Another method you can use is to use this program called "Battlelogium". It's meant for Battlefield 3, but it does work for Battlefield 4. With this program, you will still need to disable Origin In Game and run Battlefield 4 in 32-bit mode

ENJOY!
