All games run well but overlay doesn't work. Taking a look at my dmesg, I get a segfault:

[ 8627.698071] gameoverlayui[7167]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000f701be4b sp 00000000ffaf9de0 error 4 in gameoverlayui.so[f6ef2000+427000]

Here is terminal output: https://gist.github.com/kermeat/9454964

Overlay works fine with nvidia binary driver.

Ssylware 2014-03-17 github

It's because steam does package a libxcb with a dri2 dependency, and latest xorg wants a libxcb with dri3 dependency (I was the first to be suprised of that dependency, since I thought libxcb was just related to the x11 protocol). libxcb API is binary stable (C ABI). Then you just need to remove the steam libxcb.
Perform a search into issues on libxcb keyword, you'll find the instructions.

@ml- Same problem here. The #3093 doesn't help.

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits with nvidia-331-updates.

My custom launch options are LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 $OPTIMUS_PREFIX %command% and the error I got is:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/ayrton/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/ayrton/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

Still happening.

Well, I solved my problem removing all bumblebee stuff and installing nvidia-prime.
Doing this I also removed the launchd options. Now everything is working with my nvidia video card. And also, the performance is awesome.

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this overlay issue with an up to date system?
