Hi there,

I have been experiencing this issue for a couple of days now.

As i remembered seeing the MSI Afterburner was stopping this from working.

That got me thinking to what other programs i use that have an overlay and it hit me that steam uses an overlay.

I closed steam down and this resolved the issue.

Sorry if you have already resolved this but if not hope it helps.

Wanted to hop into Mass Effect 3 with a friend and am running into this issue. I've closed Steam and this doesn't fix the problem.

Any fix on the horizon?

  Do you run any other overlay software? (Skyp, MSI-Afterburner, OBS etcetera.)

    Nope. The only software I have are drivers related to my hardware, Nvidia GeForce Experience, Logitech mouse and headset drivers, and Razer Synapse for my keyboard, and Avira anti-virus.
