I have been having this problem with Unity games for a while now on stable and beta steamclients. I first noticed it in Rust a few months ago and it is now happening in Golf with your friends, Armello, Layers of fear, white noise 2 and Human: fall flat.

In rust, layers of fear and human: fall flat and white noise 2 I can take 1 screenshot per session and then no more until restarting the game.
In Golf with your friends taking a screenshot causes the games graphics to freeze.
In Armello screenshots don't work at all, but the overlay in general doesn't seem to work right in Armello.
