In big picture mode when I click on "play" the game starts, but then is immediately covered by the blue screen with snowflakes. I can hear the game, but I can't see it. The cursor reverts back to normal size and there are 2 buttons on the screen. The one on the left says "WEB" and the one on the right says "FRIENDS". Neither of these buttons are clickable.

To get out of this I have to hit CTRL ALT 2 to get a command line console, log-in, find and kill the steam process. When I return to the GUI console steam is gone, but the game is still open. I've tried this with Cogs and TF2.
