Previously, computer games could only be purchased on physical media, and this was not very convenient. Each game needed to be searched independently in all stores, to buy it, to store disks at home and so on. With the advent of electronic distribution platforms for computer games, the life of gamers has become much easier - now you can install Steam and buy all your games through it, store them in a shared library, and use a huge number of other useful functions. One of them is Overlay, a special feature that will be discussed in more detail in this article. You can learn not only how to enable Overlay in Steam, but also how to use it, as well as how to deal with some common problems.

Games without Overlay
Steam strives for improvement; this platform is constantly growing and improving. However, one cannot fail to note the fact that in some games the Overlay simply does not work - it is not supported. For example, the recent post-apocalyptic release of Wasteland 2 does not support Overlay's functions, but game developers and Steam creators are actively working to solve this problem.
