I am having troubles with Trials of Fire. Seems to have overlay support in game page, but it does not work ingame.

Tried to take a look at some of the other examples and figure out to modify .info file but pretty sure i am missing something since i have mostly no clue about these kinds of things..

Just a tiny, but important detail. A comma is missing between the two tasks.
"path": "TrialsOfFire.exe",
"type": "FileTask"

Here's the fix. Since I don't own the game, please report if it's working properly.

Well i'll be damned, that was the thing missing and now it actually works. Thank you!
Does Steelrising need an overlay fix? Apparently the option is grayed out in GOG Galaxy even though it's listed under Game Features on the store page.

As far as I remember, the overlay is working fine with Steelrising but you have to force enable it. A fix wasn't necessary when I've last played it in September 2022.

GOG Galaxy overlay does not work properly with some Unreal Engine 3 or 4 games

I have sent an email regarding this to GOG as well but they just said they are looking into this. I sent that email 6 months ago so I thought it would be good to have a reminder for them here as well. So I played Arkham Knight and even though I was able to take screenshots, it was unusable and it couldnt even be opened. Someone else had the exact same issue back a year ago as well -

The same problem still exists. I played pumpkin Jack and I wanted to screenshots there as well. This time, I couldnt even take photos using "F12" key. Pumpkin Jack is a UE4 game. I am not sure what the problem is but it seems like a recurring pattern with UE games. Hopefully this gets some attention soon with the number of UE games coming out recently.

Years ago some update broke the screenshot function for UE games in Galaxy. You can still use an older version of the overlay to fix this. This has one side effect though: because of the older overlay Galaxy thinks that it is outdated and the Galaxyupdater will try to update Galaxy if it is not disabled. GOG is well aware about the issue - they are simply to lazy to fix it. As I said - the overlay is working perfectly if you use an older one so there is absolutely NO reason why GOG is not using this overlay anymore. I will upload the older overlay for you.

Here is the link for the old overlay.

1) Backup or rename your original Overlay folder in "\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists"
2) Extract the archive into "\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists\overlay".
3) To prevent Galaxy from detecting an outdated version rename Galaxyupdate.exe (if you want Galaxy to detect new updates just revert the renaming).
