leekster 12 Posted August 29, 2013 Hello all! Ever since the alpha of ARMA 3 I have not once been able to use the steam overlay or any steamworks features besides the newly added workshop. Couple this with the fact that if I alt tab out of the game it crashes, it has been very frustrating trying to play multiplayer with friends. Thank you all for your help.

becario 1 Posted August 29, 2013 For the overlay part... are you using any other overlays? TS? Everytime I use TS3, Steam Overlay does not work. This only happens if I have TS opened prior to launching Arma. If I launch A3 and then TS both overlays work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted August 29, 2013 Have you disabled your overlay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leekster 12 Posted August 29, 2013 No to both sadly.... My overlay works in all other games I launch. And I don't use the ts3 overlay. Thank you both for your help though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00tsy 28 Posted August 29, 2013 use "-openGL" in your startup options to activate the steam overlay, that works with some games. Also run Steam with admin rights if you are not doing that lready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leekster 12 Posted August 30, 2013 use "-openGL" in your startup options to activate the steam overlay, that works with some games. Also run Steam with admin rights if you are not doing that lready. I tried running with that mod line and I was already running steam with admin rights. No luck there.... thank you so much though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
