![]() Thank you, but I prefer to use the Steam overlay while the game is running directly from my library. (I vaguely recall that one could do that in (way) older Steam clients, but I don't see the option anymore). Maybe if we could edit which program Steam launches when you choose to run the game from the proper Steam installation, we could point it to the shortcut and edit the launch parameters directly for the official library entry.

Right now I'm playing Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places) and there's no access to the Steam overlay or to any of its functions.
