Despite the general ability to add other games to the overlay recording feature, in typical Riot fashion getting League of Legends (and by extension, Valorant) to work with the steam overlay and recording has been a hassle due to the game having three separate clients (riot client, league of legends client, actual game client). No matter what steps I take, the steam overlay refuses to load.

I have attempted to add all three clients as a non steam game, ensure that the general riot client had the --launch-product=league_of_legends --launch-patchline=live launch flags, ensured that all the clients have "enable steam overlay option" selected, attempted to open all three clients through the steam client (except for the actual game one, that can't be opened directly), and I have already restarted the PC and ran steam as administrator. Nothing stated above has worked to get the steam overlay to work.

Even though non-steam games are expected to have a level of jankness in trying to enabling the overlay recording, I would imagine that many others would have the same question trying to get a Riot game to work with recording. Suggestions would be much appreciated
