    So I installed PA many moons ago via the UberNet Installer or whatever it was called.
    I have a shortcut to PA Launcher in my Start Menu that works fine.
    However, I created a link to PA Launcher in Steam so I will be reminded I already have PA and to not buy it again ;)
    This shortcut, even though the properties are identical as far as I can tell, produces a fatal error "sage" during launch and tells me to check the FAQ which has a bunch of Steam related fixes.
    BUT, I'm not actually using a Steam integrated version, just launching it from Steam basically.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, that's a rather unique situation. :)
    You may want to try disabling the Steam Overlay. Sometimes that causes trouble.

    Also, you could link your UberID to your Steam account. That way you'll get a Steam key and Steam will keep PA up-to-date for you automatically as well as run under Steam as expected probably. You need to contact support@uberent.com for that though.

    Unfortunately, I had to Google how to do this because there is no such option for a Linked Game as opposed to an actual Steam game.
    Turns out I couldn't find it for a reason:
    steamcommunity.com / discussions / forum / 1 / 558751364325149930 /
    (Newb so I can't direct link)

    Oh well, I will see about maybe just getting crafty with some batch files and see if I can trick it into working.

    Huh, that's interesting.

    Well, you may still go the way of linking your Steam and UberID. That would make the checkbox appear as well. :)
