Steam Overlay?

I have had no problem…..hmmm( how can I make my post productive lol).

Try making a shortcut for GW2, opening properties on the shortcut, adding " -repair"( space included) to the end of your target bar ( ex C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -repair") then run. ( this step should help spacerobot fix his problem with blue screen, but it can’t hurt waker either since the gamefiles could be corrupting the overlay integration)

Then both should be able to: Remove GW2 from your steam library, go to add game to library and select GW2. It is important to change the Screen Capture button and the overlay access button because the game uses the buttons for something else currently.( this might be all waker has to do)

Hope this helps, if not sorry for wasting your time and maybe you can contact steam with your issue; they are very helpful and I can verify it is possible to get it working.

Oh my god! Thank you! It’s working now!
I used the repair shortcut It didn’t download anything but it’s allways good to make sure. Then I went on steam options changed the shortcut to the overlay to Shift+Ctrl+Tab and removed the screenshot button.
Once I got in game it started working I change the overlay back to Shift+Tab and the screenshot button is F10 because so far doesn’t have a function in the game. Thank you so much!!

Hi I’ve been a steam user for a long long time and I’d like to know if there is any way to add the steam overlay to the game. I’ve seen a lot of people use it but on the beta where you had to log in ingame and the only purpose of the launcher was downloading updates.

With the full release it doesn’t seem to work any longer, at least for me it doesn’t.

What I do is go to steam, add a non-steam game to my library add the Gw2.exe in D:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2, and run it. It should work. Steam says i’m ingame but I don’t get the overlay.

I’d like to know if this problem is just mine or if anyone has the same problem. Also if it is, anyone knows how to solve it?

Thanks everyone
