Title: Steam Overlay broken
Post by: Rmag37 on October 10, 2012, 06:35:43 AM

I'm sorry if this's been asked before, but i did search

I've noticed using this mod breaks my overlay, as in shift+tab wont bring up the steam window thingy anymore. I often use this to talk to people. I have tried adding the launcher as a non steam game, doesnt help. Anybody know how to get this working again?

You can follow these instructions:

I get a "Could Not Verify Media" error on Steam Version
Open steam, go to your library then right-click on the CoH you use and go to properties -> Launch Options and set it to -dev -mod Eastern_Front.

Then you must run the game through the Library.

You will be prompted to validate your game, click continue. Then you will be asked where did you buy the game, choose steam. If it sent you to desktop, look at the taskbar and click on CoH app. It should be ready to play but your CoH profile will be offline.

Thank you for the rapid response, your solution should work perfectly. I'll just need to remember to use the launcher occasionally to check for updates.
