Select Steam overlay for only certain games

Zaflis · 05-06-2012, 10:22 AM

I was wondering if it's possible to add new option for each individual game. Simple popup of 3 choices:
1) Default (follow the general settings)
2) Enabled
3) Disabled

There are games like Diablo 2 that don't work at all with the overlay. World of Warcraft that gets all the time mixed with keybinds, that use shift and tab targeting at the same time. But for many games the overlay is good.

The reason for using Steam for non-steam games is mainly, so your friends can know what you're playing.

You can already enable/disable the overlay for steam games in it's properties window by right clicking the title in your library.
Untick the box for the games you do not want the overlay on.
