  6. Launch the game to check if the problem still exists.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Go to Steam on the top hotbar and click on Settings.<\/li>\n
    2. Navigate to the In-Game tab, and turn on Enable Steam Overlay while in-game option.<\/li>\n

      Sometimes an in-game product can be bought only once, or a few times a week, etc and if you try to break that limit, you won’t be able to make the purchase. If that’s the case with the item that you are trying to purchase, try buying it once again in a few days.<\/p>\n
