any tips?

I see you are from "Yugoslavia" so let me explain to you better..

Launcher igre mora da stavis u Steam kao Non-Steam game, a ne direktno .exe. To znači recimo u mene je direkcija nesto kao ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe""

Vidis? PRLauncher.exe počinjes sa Steam, i onda dobijes overlay kada igras. Meni radi bez problema ali provjeri da si adminstrator svoga kompjutera.

Go "add a non-steam game to my library" in the "games" options.

Then browse to your PR folder ie ""C:\Games\PR\mods\pr\bin\PRLauncher.exe"" and add the game to steam.

You can then run the game via steam to get the overlay to work.
You can also rename the launcher in steam settings so it doesn't say PRlauncher.exe, but something like Project Reality BF2.

Steam overlay has some other benefits too.. If you start building a fob, you can open the overlay with your mouse held down, and it will continue to build the fob

Never got steam and PR to work, it would always close after i finished launching it.

You can always press prtscn on your keyboard, and then retrieve the screenshots in JPEG and PNG formats in documents>projectreality>screenshots!

Super old bump, but after having steam work once upon a time ingame for me, then stop a while back and me just getting used to it, I dedicated to check this thread out and it works.

Forcing steam to run as an admin allowed me to use the overlay when launched through steam, which I couldn't do before.
