I know Steam can take games,but why Valve don’t let me install games for free?I know to keep entertainment safely,but how to bypass security and install normal not non-steam games for free?is there any method?
You’re either trying to open non-steam software with steam for the overlay and other shit like that, or you’re asking how to fucking pirate through steam.
[COLOR=‘Red’]Guys, let’s try to keep things on topic.
@Half-Life 3, you can install free-to-play games if you received them legitimately. You can also install commercial games if you have received them legitimately. You can have Steam load non-Steam games for you.
We cannot give you information on how to get games illegitimately.
just press Games and “Add non-steam game to my library”
I personally think this feature is completely useless but I know last I checked 4 years ago it was still there.
It’s good if not all of your games are from Steam, like to play fullscreen and chat with friends.
I use it to keep all my Mass Effect games on “Steam”.
last I heard it doesn’t add ingame chat unless the game is available on Steam in the first place, and if you add a pirated non-steam game that also happens to be available to buy on Steam, it bans your account and worst of all, in-game chat doesn’t even work
I’ve been able to chat on Steam just fine playing EA Origin games through the Steam overlay.
What might happen is a conflict of overlays that makes you unable to open the Steam overlay but that can be solved by disabling Origin’s own overlay.
As for pirated games, I have done a few as Steam shortcuts and while indeed the overlay won’t work if they’re games that are also available on Steam, I’ve never been banned for playing them through there tho.
