Basic info
Just quick "fix" for not working SteamOverlay in TombRaider:Legend without bothering with PID
How to
- create a new file and change extension to .cmd (or .bat) , for example : tr-legend.cmd (or .bat)
- edit this file and paste this lines to file:

@Echo off & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set "PID=" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" steam://rungameid/7000 Timeout 5 for /f "tokens=2" %%A in ('tasklist ^| findstr /i "trl.exe" 2^>NUL') do @Set "PID=%%A" if defined PID "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\GameOverlayUI.exe" -pid %PID% -manuallyclearframes 0

And that is, now instead starting game via Steam shortcut you should start this game via this .cmd (.bat) file (just create a shortcut on desktop or so)
