Has it ever worked for you since the 1.22 update? I think it doesn't work because it's launched via arx.bat.

Sure. But problem is actual. We want to use overlay.

Yes, but the question is what we can do about it. To that end it would be know the answer to the following questions:

- Did the overlay work before the 1.22 update (with or without Arx Libertatis) - Does the overlay currently work without Arx Libertatis for you (it doesn't for me)

I am not sure how the overlay is injected into the game process on Windows but suspect that the game being launched through a .bat script instead of going to the .exe directly complicates things.

This is an issue with Steam and I do not think we can do anything about it in AL.

However there is a workaround possible by adding arx.exe to Steam as a non-Steam game: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1700/discussions/0/3055112595725686827/
