A Way Out EA overlay not working

Hello!

I am having an issue with the EA Overlay in A Way Out. When I first played the game, the EA Overlay was not working correctly. Because of this, I was unable to receive invites from other players and I could not use the "F" key prompt to invite someone to play.

At the time, I spent around 4 hours trying different troubleshooting steps. The issue suddently dissapeard, but I do not know what fixed it because no specific solution seemed to resolve the problem.

After not playing the game for around 6 months, I returned and the same issue has appeared again. The EA Overlay does not function properly in A Way Out, preventing me from using the online invite features.

I have tested the EA Overlay with other games, including EA Sports FC 26, and it works normally there. Any other overlays like Steam and discord also works perfecly fine. This makes me believe the issue is specific to A Way Out EAs Overlay rather than a general EA App problem.

Could someone please help me investigate why the EA Overlay is not working correctly for this specific game? I would appreciate any troubleshooting steps or a possible fix.

    Hi there, sorry to hear the EA Overlay has stopped working again in A Way Out.

    Since the overlay is working normally in other EA games, this may be specific to A Way Out. I’d recommend repairing the game through the EA app, clearing the EA app cache, and temporarily disabling other overlays such as Steam or Discord before launching the game again.

    Also, please make sure the EA in-game overlay is enabled in the EA app settings and check whether pressing Shift + F1 while A Way Out is running opens the overlay. If the issue continues, let us know whether you’re launching the game through the EA app or Steam.
