Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Simply despite it is being enabled , Steam Overlay doesn't show up on this game. Pressing Shift+Tab to bring overlay does nothing , closing action ( simply second time doing Shift+Tab combo ) warps in game pointer to top left side of screen.

Native Linux build of game is used ( Proton not involved ) , this game is a HTML5 based game.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Be sure Steam Overlay is enabled
Launch the game
Observe the issue

Issue appears to be limited to the nVidia proprietary driver in a quick test.

Edit : Nvm, Zero-K doesn't bring up overlay with Intel too.

Hello @Leopard1907, Zero-K is configured to disable the Steam overlay by the game dev.

Yes , i realized that a bit late 🐸

Btw , also overlay on Bard's Tale doesn't seem to be working with Mesa ( Intel ) too. Iris or classic driver doesn't matter. But i remember i was able to get overlay with it a couple of years ago with Intel.
