Describe the bug
When I open the SteamVR Overlay interface, the "Steam" and "Desktop" buttons appear, but are just blank when selected. Settings, and Advanced Settings, both work. This started happening after reinstalling my OS onto a new drive. Previously, it was working.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open SteamVR from Steam
  2. Open the overlay with the system button
  3. Observe that nothing is shown for "Steam"
  4. Select Desktop
  5. Observe nothing is shown for Desktop.

Expected behavior
Steam and Desktop show the Steam Big Picture view and Desktop view.

Additional context
This worked on my previous OS install, but stopped working on a fresh install of Debian Testing. Possibly a missing package?

Hello @Goofybud16, please verify you have the mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 package installed with something like apt policy mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386.

That package was not installed.

After installing it, it appears that the Steam and Desktop overlays are now working as expected.

Looks like mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 is referenced in the README-- I'd just missed it. That's my bad. Everything seems to work great now. Thanks!
