EA Overlay Not Appearing

Hello!

I know there are an abundance of these issues logged, however mines doesn't seem to match the norm.

I just finished doing everything in Jedi Survivor and noticed that I hadn't been getting any achievements for a long long time. EA overlay is enabled, but I can't use shift+f1 to make it appear in-game. So I tested other games directly from EA app and it doesn't work in those either.

I cleared the EA cache, repaired the app, uninstalled it, cleared files and reinstalled it too, but it still doesn't work. So I thought I would try an EA game via Steam (Battlefield), this launched, and I could access both the Steam overlay and the EA overlay. 

Since steam EA launched games worked, I tried adding Jedi Survivor as a non-steam game, but this didn't work for either overlay (it is on a different drive though, maybe that plays a part in it?)

Anyway, does anyone know a way to fix this? For reference, my EA app is on the C drive (annoyingly it stealth installs here) and my Jedi Survivor is on a B drive SSD (Yes old-timers, I know it's ye olde floppy drive designated drive letter :D)

Thanks!

  • I've tried moving the install folder under Steam, and re-linked it via the EA app, neither Steam or EA overlays work this way either.
