Steam overlay stopped working

Recommended Posts

Hi all! I've bought the game during the steam winter sale and quite enjoyed the game. Know I have a problem, my steam overlay stopped working! It used to work because I sent a few friends request and adjusted the mic volume. It also works on other games so it should be some sort of issue with the game itself.

Any help?

Hi FatPiNi that's a problem I've had on two different PCs so it's quite common I believe. Take a look at the following links and have a search yourself, I'm sure there is something helpful out there somewhere on the internet.

Thanks Lozzy for the answer, i tried to reinstall also steam, tried to check integrity... i also deleted a few dll to let them download again (ended up whit a 2.9 gb download for deleting 3x dll of 7mb :D ), the problem is that in f1 i don't even see when a friends connect, the usual thing steam overlay displays. I can hear the sounds, but cannot see them.

EDIT: Wow... i decided to give a go to the "change the key for steam overlay" and it finally showed up! I reverted to the usual Shift-Tab and it works too... probably somethings messed up with the key binds?! don't know :D but it works again :dizzy:
Thank you!

EDIT2: found it was because i didn't fired up the msi afterburner and statistic server... the strange thing is that overlay works good with other games and msi afterburner... but not with f1 2016 :(
