Briareos Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Has anyone else noticed the Steam overlay not working anymore? Seems like since the last update, any time I click on News links it launches in my regular browser and not the Steam built-in one, and pressing "Shift-Tab" does nothing.

Crond Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's not working only on DX11, it's okay on DX10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
------ArtOfViolence----- Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 For me, i had to disable DX11 for it to work properly. Try that first and see if it does anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSilence Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 it's usually caused by using the x64 bit , if you uncheck it in the launcher it comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpilockT_T Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I disable my DX11 for a long time, but my steam overlay still now working.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briareos Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I've been using DX11 and 64-bit for months and everything was fine. Now all of a sudden it doesn't work, I think with the last update. I know for a fact it was working a couple weeks ago. I'll try fiddling with the x64 setting and see if that does anything.

SockBadger Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My computer broke just after the Tethra update [Not because of Warframe [i hope]] and on that system DX11 and 64 bit with the overlay were working fine. Today my new computer arrives and I don't get the little 'hit shift+tab to open steam overlay' when starting, when I do hit it, my mouse goes to windows mouse and I can't see the overlay or interact with Warframe game I can still see. So I have to hit escape to close the invisible alt+tab interface and then Warframe. Old Computer: i7 Gen1, DDR3 6gb, GTX580, Typical Hard Drive, Windows 7 New Computer: A10 7850K, DDR3 16gb.

Briareos Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Unchecking 64-bit in the launcher made it work again. I tried switching back to 64-bit to see if it was some kind of toggle but it was still broken. I have no idea what changed. I've been running in 64-bit mode for months without any Steam problems. I guess I'll stick with 32-bit mode until they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
