Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Aug 30 2018
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I try raising the overlay, either via shift+tab or the Steam button on my Steam Controller, nothing happens. This effects both Proton-games and normal Linux games, both launched from BPM and desktop-mode.

Work Around

Restarting the client does fix this, but this is still new (at least for me).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

I was a bit too quick to make this issue. I'm not entirely sure what caused the client to start misbehaving, but once it had, every game seemed to be effected.
Launch a game (I tested Dragon Age:Origin UE, The Incredible Adventures of van Helsing, Divinity: Original Sin EE, and Warlock: Master of the Arcane)
Trying bring up the overlay with either shift+tab or the Steam button on a Steam Controller.

I've seen this with CSGO within the past day. I was using desktop mode at the time.

I have also had this issue.

At first I thought it might be because I have HIDPI mode on my monitor, because before switching configs to HIDPI the overlay worked in CS:GO for example, but now I only get a grey background from the overlay which appears in the top right quarter of my screen if I shift+tab or when I first start playing CS:GO.

I do not know what to debug for this, but the issue is not resolved for me :(

The initial report was the overlay not working. @gatlinnewhouse your problem seems like incorrect rendering. This is likely specific to your system or configuration, if overlay was broken across the board I think we'd have seen more reports by now. Can you provide the output of Help > System Information?

Nevermind, you provided that on the other issue.

Hello @nstgc, @nightsky30, are either of you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

@kisak-valve I have not seen it happen recently, no.

I haven't have this issue in a while.
