Origin Overlay not working
Closed this issue · 2 comments
When I launch either Apex Legends or Titanfall 2 through Steam via OSOL, the Steam Overlay works fine, but the Origin Overlay doesn't show up. If I launch these games through Origin, the Origin Overlay works, but I don't have the Steam Overlay obviously...
The log doesn't give any valuable information as far as I can tell, but here it is:

I was running the latest release, 1.09f but changed to 1.09h and the issue still persists.
I just tested this, and it appears that the Origin Overlay also works when launching the game by running the OSOL exe directly. Apparently the two Overlays don't work together for some reason...
At some point last year Origin started having issues with the Steam overlay. It's out of scope of this project (for now) to deal with overlays directly.
If you absolutely need the Origin overlay your best bet is to use GloSC (which will also work with OSOL if you want launcher management) since it doesn't require Steam's overlay being hooked into the game itself.
