Why can't I activate Steam Community ingame?
I apprehend that Dragon Age: Inquisition won't come to Steam as it will be restricted to Origin. But I would like to use Steam Community (SHIFT+TAB) ingame to chat with friends and take screenshots - or use that sweet child o' browser.
I unchecked Origin ingame in the game's startup settings and added Dragon Age: Inquisition to my Steam library. But unlike other games, Steam Community is not being enabled ingame. When I execute DAI with Steam, Origin closes the EXE and reopens it, where Steam isn't hooked anymore.
How can I access Steam Community features in Dragon Age: Inquisition?
Bonus quest: It would be awesome if the command line -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+ would be enabled, too.

You can add a non-Steam game to Steam by following these instructions:
- Launch Steam.
- Click the Games menu, choose Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.
- Browse for games on your computer or put a check next to the game(s) you wish to add to the Library.
- Click Add Selected Programs
Games added this way will have the Steam overlay.
You can set the command-line parameters by right-clicking the game in Steam --> properties --> General --> Set Launch Options

The Steam community overlay is an in-game interface that allows access to many Steam Community features while playing games. The default keybind of Shift+Tab will open the overlay in any game where it is supported and enabled.How do I enable steam community in-game l4d2?
