How can i make mount and blade warband appear in steam?

I'm getting reports from friends trying the same trick for Day Z (we use the Six Launcher for that, simmilar to cRPG's launcher) and failing. Might be a Steam issue... I'm guessing it has something to do with how you have things set up.

Perhaps you can experiment, see what causes it not to work. Maybe try adding another non-steam game and see if you can get the overlay to work for that.

Most obvious one is running steam as as admin: go to your steam folder, right click on Steam.exe, click the Compatibility tab, check the "Run this program as an administrator" box and then hit "OK".

There might also be certain applications (some AV's, Xfire and some other programs) interfering with the steam overlay:

My problem here is that it doesnt credit me for hours played anymore. It hasn't in several months (actually I think this has always been an issue since the launcher started) Anyway we can fix that?

Don't think so, unless cmp ports it to the newest version.

Well, the problem is the exe name, its renamed so it can coexist with the original exe. And the cRPG launcher will not use the original named exe, what probably means that if you rename the old warband to the original name, the launcher will not use it, because of the name.
And steam will not launch with the wrong exe name, not recording time played, achievements, and using the overlay.
Yes you can add as a non steam game and use the overlay, but really the overlay is the least important thing to me.
