Titan Quest Anniversary Edition Forum

I am using v9.1.0 and I have been playing both Titan Quest (Immortal Throne) and Sacred Gold for the past few days using either a Cyborg Rat 5 or 7 mouse (just upgraded to a 7, and using ControllerMate for programming) and even tried the trackpad (playing on a 2.26GHz Macbook with 4GB) and a Razer Salmosa, and am unable to get started with these 2 games. Titan Quest (not the expansion) I can actually click on menu options (it takes 2 clicks, where it used to take 1), but the other two I am unable to click on Start Game, Load Game, or anything, even though they highlight.

I had been playing earlier tonight, quit to eat, came back and Steam notified me there was an update, so I told it to run while I was finishing up. Wondering if anyone else is having similar problems, I could at least narrow it down to Steam, Crossover Games or ControllerMate! Thanks

Someone reported, related to a different game but a similar problem that followed a Steam update, that disabling the in-game community in Steam's settings fixed it. Try that.

We have confirmed that a number of recent bugs in Steam games are due to changes in the in-game community overlay DLL. For some games, disabling the in-game community feature via Steam's settings is good enough to fix the problem. For other games, that's not enough.

For those, you can go into the Wine Configuration (winecfg) tool via Manage Bottles -> select bottle with Steam -> Control Panel. On winecfg's Applications tab, click Add Application. Select the executable of the Steam game that's having the problem (or just type its filename, like foobar.exe) and click Open. Select the Libraries tab of winecfg. Type GameOverlayRenderer in the "New override for library" edit field, click the Add button, click the Edit button, select Disable, click OK, and click OK. That prevents the in-game community overlay from even being loaded for that game.

If you don't use the in-game community, you might find it simpler to just disable it for the whole bottle. To do that, just skip the above steps involving the Applications tab of winecfg. Just leave it with Default Settings selected, which is how it starts, and go straight to the Libraries tab and proceed from there.

Just reading this before I go to work, but thanks! Gives me something to try when I get home this afternoon.

That fixed it! I am also able to play Sacred again, thanks! Hopefully there will be a Crossover update soon.
