I found this bug in game Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
If I playing Amnesia, my status is "online", no "in-game".

Steps to reproduce:
1/ Start Steam
2/ Start Amnesia: The Dark Descent
3/ In launcher, enable windowed mode (disable fullscren)
4/ Click on Play Game
5/ When Amnesia running, look to Steam in friends window, your status won't be "in-game"

Step 4 - windowed mode/disable full screen - isn't required, if you can minimize this game - I can't.

If you disable the overlay, does it correctly track your ingame status? Likely a duplicate of Issue #446, the overlay has a problem with the launcher. Please re-open if not.

Mmattyy1hp 2013-01-04 github

If I disable the overlay, it don't work too.

I found solution by editing run_steam.sh.

Original file:

#!/bin/bash

if [ arch == "x86_64" ]; then
./checklibs.sh libs64 Amnesia.bin64
./Launcher.bin64
else
./checklibs.sh libs Amnesia.bin
./Launcher.bin
fi

I tried change it to:

#!/bin/bash

if [ arch == "x86_64" ]; then
./checklibs.sh libs64 Amnesia.bin64
./Amnesia.bin64
else
./checklibs.sh libs Amnesia.bin
./Amnesia.bin
fi

When I did this, it tracked in-game status correctly. But Steam won't start Launcher, it launches the game directly (Amnesia.bin/Amnesia.bin64).

I think that this have nothing to do with the overlay. Steam launches Launcher.bin/Launcher.bin64 and tracks only Launcher.bin/Launcher.bin64 -> my status will change to In-game. When I click on Play in the game launcher, it launches Amnesia.bin/Amnesia.bin64 and close Launcher.bin/Launcher.bin64 -> my status will change back to online - Steam don't know that game is running.
But this is only my guess, maybe it helps.

I don't know, how to reopen this issue.

Issue #446 says the problem with the overlay/launcher is fixed in the next update, would you test again once steam gets its next client update.

Uurkle 2013-01-06 github

The issue here more seems to be related to the fact that the Launcher launches Amnesia and then exits itself.. Maybe steam is only paying attention to the 'first" binary and not the second?

Mmattyy1hp 2013-01-07 github

urkle: Yes, it's the exactly what I'm talking about.

Closing old non-Valve issue (can still be found in search).
