In the Steam Beta client you can't invite friends anymore, because the overlay does not open up. This is not game specific, it happens to all games I tried. For example: Sanctum 2 and Outland.

To reproduce: open up game, start a online lobby, click on the invite friends button.

I second to this. Features have worked a few updates of Beta Steam Client back.
I have same problem with Left 4 Dead 2, when I try to open profile of players while being in lobby. (See screen-shot.)

Same problem here. Happens with any game where parts of the interface would normally open the overlay (eg "Sell on Market" buttons in Dota 2 and CSGO).

I can't reproduce this issue anymore after latest Steam Client Beta update(22.10.2015).

Yes, in the current Beta it's fixed. But even we reported it, it landed in the stable branch, typical Valve ;)

@NoXPhasma i think we reported it when person responsible for bug tracking was on vacation, so this bug got into stable branch.
Anyway, you probably should close this fixed issue.
