When i add bf4.exe it shows me on steam as in game for a sec and thats it. I tried with the x86 version and steam kept showing me as online but i could not get into any online matches. I used battlelogium for bf3 and it lagged too much when i opened the overlay so i would rather avoid it. I have done my research.
Why would you need that?
So i can write with my steam friends while playing, and start it from steam(i like to have all my games in one place so i add a lot of them so steam this way)
you can do that with Origins…
But i cant write to my steam friends on Origin, and i like to be able to play my games from steam.
try this:
- go to steam library
- click “+ ADD A GAME” on the bottom left
- click “Add a Non-Steam Game”
- add “Origin” under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\ - close Origin and open it through Steam.
- turn off Origin’s overlay
you should be able to play bf4 now with the steam overlay. if it doesn’t work, idk
edit: i guess this supposedly only works when you run the 32-bit version of the game
Hey, it works, thank you 
ORIGINS FUCKING SUCKS AND YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT!
When I did it for bf3…I added origin.exe as a non steam game than changed the name to Battlefield 3 and then close origin down by the clock on the task bar and open it up with the steam shortcut “battlefield 3” than when u are in a game in bf3 the steam overlay will work…so my guess is it should be the same for BF4
It worked the first time, not it does not. It still shows me as in game though
Hmm…I haven’t tried it yet I just bought the game two days ago.. When I get home I’ll try it out and let you know what I come up with
Thank you
No problem
