Great. I'm using steam at the moment but want to use teamspeak with overwolf so I'll try it again later.

Thanks for that, Drudge! For the records, there was an older thread about it, though (here).

The problem with Overwolf, at the moment, is that they update that XML file pretty often and you have to edit it again each time. This a bit of a pain in the arse, TBH.

Also I found that if I launch Overwolf first, it won't appear in E:D. I have to launch E:D, then Overwolf (at least the first time I launch it after a reboot). Is it just me?

Weird. I always have to start Overwolf first.

For some reason that has stopped working for me. Updated the file and it is still not working, probably going to leave it until they add ED support...

The only time it didn't work for me was when I forgot to increment the ID number.. :oops:

an option for a quick fix after update I know not everyone will like this idea but backup your gameslist file and then switch it out for the new updated one... I hear ticking the "read-only" option might help but I do not use that method so I do not know for sure. Just wanted people to know what I knew. I will keep this thread going if I find anymore PERMANENT fixes.

Anyone who wants a TS overlay without using overwolf can use this one. Works well for me.
