I checked and unchecked the related checkbox many times from my client "Properties" menu, restarted the client several times, but nothing changed... the overlay won't show up!
I read there's a file to delete from the source folders (libxcb.so.1) and tried to eliminate that, but nothing happened.
I have Catalyst drivers installed and recently updated them to the latest version. My video card is an ATI Radeon HD 7770 and its driver are up-to-date.

Could you please help me with this issue I'm having?

You'll want to post your system information with any failure report info. The README on this hub gives more detail.

Here is my system information:

SO: Ubuntu 14.04 - 64 bit
Desktop: Unity (standard)
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz × 4
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 7770

The only error I can notice from the terminal is a "gameorvelayrenderer.so not preloaded", but nothing else.

Thank you.

Strange, it start working after a few steam client restarts

Alex, is that a new issue for you or has it always been the case?

AAlexKibo88 2014-08-15 github

From what I recall, it has never worked. I have not played many games on Ubuntu, since I also have the client installed on Windows 7, but noticed the issue while playing with FM 2014.
Could be something related to my video drivers?

Any other ideas?
