Steam doesn't recognize the game as running

When I start the game through the launcher through steam, steam registers the game as running until I press the play button. When launched directly using steam, bypassing the launcher, it always registers the game as running. Has anyone ever experienced such issues?

This issue still persists, and I will note that this also impacts Steam social features and disables the Steam overlay.

It’s quite frustrating since I’d like to start tracking my playtime in Steam and make use of the steam overlay while still using the Gaijin account that I’ve invested a lot of time into. And since account switching has been inexplicably removed from direct-launch, there’s still no real workaround for this problem that other games with launchers seem to have solved.
