Hi @9Lilith, 

Are you still getting this same message when you're trying to play? If so, have you tried validating the game files in Steam to see if that makes any difference at all?

I tried this, it does not work for me.

Hey @illviticus, 

Can you give us a bit more info on what's happening? Is it not giving you the option to enable the overlay, or is it just still giving you that same error even though you enabled the option?

Hey, I got the same problem, even though I have steam overlay on, it still  persists to give me the same error code when I try to register

Hey @realYellowFellow, 

What's the full error message you're getting? Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Here is the error code. Ive tried checking the box, it was already checked, tried validating still did not work.

@Tristen1195 Hi, if you try a Clean Boot and only start the game and Steam, with the overlay toggled on, does that make any difference?

I suspect there's some conflict with some other overlay software, and testing with the Clean Boot can check for this. 

Thanks.
