EOS Overlay Issue

So I’m following along with this course “The EOS Online Subsystem (OSS) Plugin | Course” and it’s going well, until I was stopped by this overlay thing under the “Play in Standalone Game using auto-login” part. The overlay just refuses to show up. In the logs I can’t see anything negative (Failed/Error) to anything related to overlay or EOS OSS.

" LogEOSSDK: LogEOSAnalytics: Start Session (User: …)

The only line that could indicate something is this “LogEOSSDK: Warning: LogEOSUI: Hot key event ignored because there are no known users.” which i also have no idea what to do about.

At some points I saw some lines in the logs that are definitely related, but are just not showing up anymore, lines like
“Init: Failed to register overlay: EOS_NotConfigured”
and
“LogEOSOverlay: *Overlay will not load, because it was explicitly disabled when creating the platform”
These however are no longer occurring, which is weird since I changed nothing since then.

I have no idea what to do, searching on the internet wasn’t helpful as well. I don’t even know if this is a step I can just skip or not, but for now skipping seems like the only option.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you try testing the game in standalone mode?
