No Steam Overlay in Minecraft [MultiMC]?
Title says most.
I desire to have the Steam Overlay on while running Minecraft. I mention MultiMC as I would imagine that the different structure has made certain procedures different for things. I am not entirely sure if it would apply here, though; I would imagine when people add "Minecraft" to Steam, they end up linking the official launcher as the game. I did the same, I just use a different launcher. To my understanding, the process should be automatic, but it seems not to be the case here. Anyone have ideas?

I'm posting this mostly for people who will (like me) find this through google

Steam overlay is loaded via LD_PRELOAD and multimc drops it on loading (source)[github.com]; to get it working you have to move LD_PRELOAD's content to GAME_PRELOAD variable, so the solution is to change launch path to something like
env GAME_PRELOAD="/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so:/home/USERNAME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so" sh -c 'multimc'

There's literally only ONE mention of this variable in the entire google - an issue on multimc's github...
