Steam In-Game Overlay in Left 4 Dead 2 crashes when I click "Players" button. Long standing bug.
Also reproducible in Windows Steam client.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Left 4 Dead 2
  2. Connect to any server
  3. Open In-Game Overlay
  4. Click "Players" button inside Overlay
    After that, Overlay crashes\closes instantly. Sometimes it will recover after a minute or so, but most of the time it can't be opened again.

As this isn't a Linux-specific issue this will get referred over to the main Steam team and won't be tracked here but we'll leave this open for others to see.

Hello @sizeofbool, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Issue seems to be fixed on up-to-date system. Both buttons in "Friends" section of overlay are working now.
