Steam overlay not starting on wayland (self.linux_gaming)

submitted 2 years ago by Ministar to c/[email protected]

Hello,

when I am in game, and press Shift+Tab, the Steam overlay does not want to open (literally nothing happens). I have the overlay and the shortcut configured in the steam settings.

Any ideas if this can be fixed, or is it just wayland problem that i have to wait out?

It seems that now it only does not work in one game (as far as i have tested). The game in question is Warframe. So it seems that its truly not a wayland problem.

Yeah, the overlay not functioning with individual games is a fairly common problem. You're only experiencing it since the new UI though? Perhaps discuss it in the Proton github issue for Warframe.
