I don't know if this is related, but I get freezes when trying to make screenshots, too.
It did work many times yesterday. Then I deleted some screenshots directly via the
file system, not via Steam. Today I get a freeze (game is Trine 2) with a sound loop
every time I try.

The problem occurs if you try to take a screenshot before calling steam overlay. Try first call steam overlay (press Shift-Tab twice - open and close overlay), and then try to take a picture.
Update. Does not always work. Tested in the following games: Killing Floor (does not work with the key for the images assigned to the game, only the keys in Steam), 100% working in TF2, Amnesia: Dark Descent works too. In Red Orchestra, and Serious Sam 3 not tested
Can you retry this with the latest client? We made some fixes that would affect this, although we're not sure if we have everything fixed.
Screenshot now works here, thanks for that!
... but is it possible that I've lost my save games (Trine 2) due to the upgrade?
@tincturaginseng You'va closed the bug when it seemd that you could do screenshot with some workaround.
I don't think that would have been a solution, the client must never freeze.
Confirm. The screenshots now works without freeze (Killing Floor). Thanks!
Nothing extracted yet.
