I've installed everything correctly but was able to play the game only once where the mod and Steam achievements worked harmoniously. Now I'm having an issue where I start up the DoomBFA file but it doesn't have the Steam overlay and doesn't track my achievements anymore during gameplay. The Advanced options are still there.
As far as I can tell, I've installed Open Platform properly.
If I start the official game through Steam or the Doom3BFG file manually (in explorer), it has the Steam overlay and achievements but the mod isn't recognized.
***UPDATE***
I've discovered that if I start the DoomBFA file (mod works, Steam overlay and achievements don't work - they don't show up at all if I press Shift + Tab) and then change the Antialiasing setting, the game asks to restart. After it does, I can now open the Steam overlay, see my achievements and play with the mod properly. So weird! Not an ideal solution but I may have to bite the bullet to get it work properly.
Any thoughts?
Do you have the steam_appid.txt in the same place where exe is?
