To locate SWTOR’s launcher.exe manually, click the BROWSE… button and navigate to the SWTOR installation’s root folder, highlight the file and then click the Open button.
IMPORTANT – If launcher and SWTOR’s identifiable icon does not appear in the list, it will need to be manually searched and added:
After the list has populated, check the box next to launcher then click the button labeled ADD SELECTED PROGRAMS. Click Games in the top left of the Steam client, then navigate and click Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library…. Run the Steam client, then log in with your credentials if necessary. It is recommended to avoid suppressing this notification for future Steam client launches in case something gets patched or goes wrong in the future. Note: Steam will complain about being run in compatibility mode. Windows 10 users will also need to look under the Compatibility mode section, then check the box labeled Run this program in compatibility more for: and select Windows 8. Under the Settings section, check the box labeled Run this program as an administrator. Right click on Steam.exe and go to Properties and click on the Compatibility tab. (Default path is usually located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.) Open Windows Explorer (Win-key + E) and navigate to your Steam client installation or do a Search for the Steam.exe file. It is assumed this method will also work on XP and Vista without having access to either OS to test it out on. This guide assumes Star Wars: The Old Republic (aka SWTOR) users attempting to run the game from Steam is using Windows, and will work on 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. I thought I would post this guide here in case KOTOR players also play SWTOR seeking to run the game from Steam and optionally stream it to the TV via Steam Link. Important Notice: This guide is not for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (aka KOTOR) 1 & 2, but for it’s MMO counterpart ONLY. Naturally I began to search the internet looking for a fix which, unfortunately, yielded no helpful results… until I started playing around with different property configurations, and now I am here to show you how. Originally, I had the overlay working properly with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 however, when I recently – and reluctantly – upgraded to Windows 10 after my main drive crashed, the overlay would lose focus immediately when starting the game from SWTOR’s launcher as normal. 
Once I figured out how to get the Steam Overlay to run on the Star Wars: The Old Republic’s MMO, it never occurred to me back then to write a guide to help others looking to accomplish the same goal.
