Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When playing games (I verified this on Terraria and The Binding of Isaac repentance, the steam overlay causes freezes every time it sends in a notification, and they repeat eachother seemingly randomly (i.e. notification A, B, and C are sent several times at the same time causing a freeze). The freezes last for roughly half a second to a second, and only freeze the image as the sound and game keep running.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run one of the aforementioned games
  2. Wait for notifications to arrive
