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

So when you add it to a non-steam game do you just say to use "launch c-rpg.exe" ?

[Troyicide]

Yes . you go that route if you choose to use WSE launcher with steam version or without it. If you have steam MB you can just launch the game without the WSE and will show as a steam game.

If you launch crpg through warband the steam overlay works. It will give you a few errors that you can ignore. apparently it will mess things up if you play rageball or DTV tho, but works fine for other modes (not sure about strategus battles).

THE PROBLEMS is that i play rage ball and DTV

Just add cRPGLauncher.exe to your Steam library and use that. It won't be like playing the original Steam game, but you can use the Steam overlay to chat and all.

i did that, run the game fine but it will not say In game Mount and blade: warband. instead it will say CRPG launcher. Change name? Yes i did that but i will never get achievement and stuff from normal warband ;(

You won't get that any achievements for warband when playing cRPG anyways. You only get 'x hours played'.

Just rename the 'cRPG launcher' to 'Mount & Blade: Warband cRPG' by right-clicking it in your steam libary, choosing properties and editing the name.

If I do this the sound is messed up on battle.

I have this problem:

I add "cRPGLauncher" as a non-steam game to my library, and start the launcher via steam. My profile changes to "In the non-steam game cRPGLauncher", but when I then press "Play Warband" and M&B menu appears, my profile status goes back to "Online", and stays as that when I play the game, and I can't open the steam overlay etc.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Is the same for me.

doesnt work for me... i dont get the overlay and it doesnt see that im running a non steam game... wonder why

[CrazyCracka420]

also if you dont use the launcher you can still use weapons secondary modes, but it won't show them "turned around" for you.  Also you can whistle for horses, but they won't come to you.

Just tested and checked again, to be sure. Steam overlay does work for me in cRPG:

I added the cRPGlauncher.exe to my steam (In my case "D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\mountblade warband\cRPGLauncher.exe" -a) and then i changed the name of the cRPGlauncher in steam to Mount & Blade: Warband cRPG.

I think that's all i did. I do run Steam as administrator by default and i'm using windows 7 64 bit. Maybe that's it.

[Auphilia]

Did everything you did, and doesn't work for me. Same OS too.

It's working for me too. I have steam installed to a different folder like you (e:\games\Steam in my case), so it might not work if steam is installed in the default location "c:\program files"-whatever.
