AnthonyPython Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Steam overlay/screenshots aren't working even after multiple 'fixes' so I'll just post a test pic here. looks good, the problem with steam overlay is because it is using the spacewar appid, I tried changing it to the leadwerks software appid but then the steam overlay wouldn't start up, would be nice to allow the ability to upload a screen shot else where through the editor with out a render in the editor. like how SFM allows this.

Jazz Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Strange. Other people can do it. Are you using Win 7 too? Quote --- Scott Using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit/Core I7-2700K @ 4312mhz/24G RAM/Nvidia GTX 1060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyPython Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 using the AppId: 251810 --steam overlay doesn't even work using the Demo AppId: 301170 -- Steam overlay does work, but it does not use the leadwerks screenshots(I dunno why I even tried it) Quote OS: Windows 10 Pro CPU: i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz GPU: NVIDIA 2060 Super - 8 GB RAM: 32 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecreator Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have only 480 in my steam_appid.txt and it works. And to state the obvious: make sure you're already in Steam before you start your program make sure Steamworks::Initialize() returns true in your program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for the hint gamecreator. I just found this in the docs: Note that the Steam overlay will not work when the game is launched from Leadwerks editor, though Steam initialization will be successful. Works when the exe is run.

And to state the obvious: make sure you're already in Steam before you start your program make sure Steamworks::Initialize() returns true in your program 480 is spacewar, and so screenshots are put into spacewar (which has no page or hub) steam is always running on my computer steamworks::Initialize() is true and as I stated above AppId: 251810(which is leadwerks) --steam overlay doesn't even work and yes I run it by the .exe in the folder not through the editor. Edit: I just tested it with out leadwerks open and instead opened my game with leadwerks APPID, it does indeed tell steam that I am in Leadwerks when in my game, how ever no steam overlay.

Jazz Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hmm. So you are running your project's .exe without the editor and it still doesn't work? Not sure what to do there.. Edit: Just noticed it says spacewar when I hit screenshot!

In theory the steam overlay should be available, if it is able to send steam the correct appid that i am in(which it is) being 251810, and so the steam overlay should work, unless it's a prevention on the steamworks for the Leadwerks appid to not actually use the steam overlay.

Josh Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Very nice. I chose this shot because of the contrast, lighting, and the visibility of the reflection, but the maritime theme in yours is really good.
