The steam overlay is not working for Kerbal Space Program, but is working for other games.
Uninstalling and reinstalling KSP did not help.

/tmp/gameoverlayui.log is not even created.
Nothing is indicating a problem on the steam command line output, in dmesg or in the system logs (journalctl).
The overlay starts working if I set SteamGameId to another games ID, but then I obviously have the info (achievements, news, etc.) from the other game.

Yes, I took a look at it, and couldn't see anything relevant.
Here it is in case anyone wants to take a look: https://gist.github.com/Anden/d14d016175bc0cabc7cf

Tried reinstalling steam entirely, and that fixed the issue, so I guess something with the old install must have been broken.

Nothing extracted yet.
