in-game overlay

Unable to get the in-game overlay in the EA desktop app to work. It is enabled in the settings. In-game overlay works just fine on my Origin software (on the same PC). I've tried entering Task Manager and ending any potential programs that could be interfering (Steam, NVidia GeForce Experience, Epic) - and still no luck. This is particularly bothersome for me as I'm trying to play It Takes Two with a friend, but when I click ' Invite Players ' - nothing happens. Nor will Shift-F1 bring up the in-game overlay as it would in Origin.

Any one have any suggestions? Any work arounds so I can use this particular game as intended?

Thanks!

    Hi @Bobdude6, @faceless_sniper7 and @Senlarus,

    I just tested this in Apex Legends and pressing SHIFT + F1 launched the overlay for me. 

    Could you try clearing the cache via App Recovery, reinstalling the EA app and launching the EA app as an administrator?

    Hey @SirSquid15,

    This thread is already quite old, so I'm closing it now, as per our rules on necro posting.

    You can set the in game overlay in your EA app settings under "Application".

    Should you still have issues afterwards, please open a new thread in the forum.
