Is Steam over lay allowed or bannable?
 

Hello, I just added Project 1999 everquest as a non-steam game to steam, and its given me the steam overlay on it (shift+tab)!! this is awesome because now i can use steam chat without minimizing EQ.


My question is.. (To GM's as I know everyman and his dog is gonna probably err on the side of caution if they don't honestly know)

Is it a bannable offense as it may/maynot (i dont know) interfere with the EQ exe. Its not like I'm actually cheating here, I just wonder if it can be picked up by your detection programs as a cheat. Basically giving a false positive!

Thanks!

The things we do for convenience.

no clue.

Swish love the sig way better than the last one )

hehe
 

Yes it is convenient, and also I'm just interested to know the facts! :From the horses mouth! :p

besides being not very classic I can't imagine it would be an issue. It's not like you cant do the same thing on your cellphone/laptop/second computer, or even by windowing EQ properly on one computer.

I understand why you may be a bit concerned but my guess is it is perfectly legal. U do lose immersion points however!

Thankyou... I wonder if a GM will see this, it is a very valid question... plus i play in windowed anyway and have 2 monitors lol, I just like tinkering lol!

I don't see why not. It's not giving any added advantage to the game itself.

Thinking about it, if anyone is ever on Mumble that tends to put an overlay in the game.

I've used vent overlay before.

I could never get the vent overlay to work, but glad to know it is possible

Now the mumble overlay works like a charm :)
