lmb500 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I regret buying this on Steam. Why? No instruction book, no map and it pops up with: "Derp, you just completed this quest! Achievement unlocked!" Yeah... thanks... I know I just completed it because, uh, well, I just completed it. How does one turn these off, if we can? Thanks all!

vertex23 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If you open the console with ~, Steam will not unlock achievements. You have to do this every time you open the game, however. Is it really such a big deal though? The window pops up for what? 5seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1357890 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 wow some people really love to nitpick dont they. theres only 30-odd achievements, get them once and you never see them again. its hardly a huge problem considering all the hours you will be putting into this game.

It just really sucks you out of the game to have their annoying popups come in. So I suppose I need to press "~" once and turn it off while the game is open?

grimshawish Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 You could always complete them all :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYchotic666Joker Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 i don't get how a tiny little popup at the bottom right is annoying? lasts like 5 seconds and only shows when you unlock an achievement...which is not that often..or just earn them all then stop worrying about it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandus Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If you use the borderless window (see the Nexus for that) then they'll also not be registered. But are they really such a problem? You only get each once. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitude102 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I find this complaint rather comedic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michlo Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Did you try this yet? By the way, search engines are your friend. :P Game Overlay and Notification System The Game Overlay System lets you jump into the Steam Community directly while in game and keeps you informed when your friends come online, join a game, or send you a message. The default shortcut to open the Steam Community while in game is Shift + Tab. You can change the shortcut by clicking the Steam menu > Settings > and go to the In-Game tab. Customizing, Troubleshooting and Disabling the Game Overlay You may customize what types of notifications you receive using Game Overlay. Click Steam > Settings, select the Friends tab. Under Notifications & Sounds uncheck Display a notification for anything you wish not to get a popup for. You may completely disable Game Overlay by going to Steam’s Steam > Settings menu and selecting the In-Game tab. Then uncheck the Enable Steam Community In-Game checkbox. The Game Overlay will work with third-party non-Steam games which you have added to Steam. The basic requirement is that the game uses Direct3D 7, Direct3D 8, Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10, or OpenGL for rendering. Some 2D games which use DDraw or software based rendering methods are not supported (ex/ Diablo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandus Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I just woke up and thought about the overlay.Rushed to the computer and searched for this topic, but Michlo had beaten me to it :) But disabling the 'Steam Community' should solve the problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
