Issues fixed[edit]

Steam overlay[edit]

The Steam In-Game overlay is not available in this game. Opening the Steam overlay in the retail game causes all input (keyboard or controller) to be ignored, requiring you to restart the game.

For those where it does not show up as in-game, create a batch file in the game's folder with the following contents, and start the game by launching the batch file.[4]

set SteamAppId=19980
