Steam will return you to the Add a Game window. However the default installation path will most likely be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Uplay.exe”. For me it was located at “C:\Games\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Uplay.exe”. Go to Games and press Add a non-steam game.įind Uplay. This will allow Steam to be more patient and focus on the window that is launched by Uplay. Instead of adding The Crew (or another Uplay game) you simply have to add Uplay itself to your library. The solution to the problem appeared to be simpler than expected.
STEAM OVERLAY HOW TO
Obviously this was not an ideal solution but at least I made some progress… How to add Uplay games to steam. However because Steam was focused on the little popup there was no sound and no in-game overlay. Therefore I could run to the other pc and alt-tab to the actual game. Strangely this allowed Steam to “focus” on that popup and continue streaming. If I tried it again The Crew would present a popup showing that the game already launched. Every time I tried this steam would end the broadcast after 5 seconds the point where Uplay launched. I actually got into this issue because I wanted to play The Crew through Steam’s In-Home Streaming.
STEAM OVERLAY TRIAL
Now it took a bit of trial and effort to get around this problem. My trial and error with In-Home streaming and Steam In-game To steam it appears you have already closed your game. It is looking for a game to display its interface but it will fail. It will again use the same executable but this time the game will start.īecause Uplay is interfering with the launching of the game steam gets confused. Now once Uplay has started you will have to launch the game from UPlay. Unfortunately Uplays DRM system makes the game executable launch Uplay instead. After adding the game you can launch it through steam and the Steam overlay, including all your friends are there. Basically steam will ask you to locate the game’s executable file (.exe).
STEAM OVERLAY SOFTWARE
But what if you don’t like two different friend chat systems? And what if you want to use Steam In-Home streaming on your Uplay activated game? Why “add a non-steam game to my library” does not work for Uplay gamesįor ages Valve’s Steam software has allowed you to add “non-steam games” to your library. Therefore you will end up with a combination of Uplay and Steam. Furthermore the games on Steam are usually more expensive. However, retail versions of their games activate on Uplay and not on Steam. Currently their games are still purchasable on Valves Steam.
Ubisoft launched a digital distribution service called Uplay in 2012.
