Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1666923262
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux (kernel 6.0.2-arch1-1)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Full System Information: Gist

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

On beta, when I try to screenshot in any game, I hear (new?) bulp sound and no "Screenshot was taken" message pops up.

Also, before taking a screenshot, Overlay was working normally with no issues.
But after a screenshot attempt, Steam Overlay crahes. gameoverlayui clones itself multiple times, and they are marked as zombie processes

Before screenshot:

Immediately After:

After sometime, each gameoverlayui kill themselves. One by one:

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Opt-in beta
  2. Launch game
  3. Take screenshot
  4. Screenshot wasn't taken and Steam Overlay is crashed

Same here, this issue also causes CSGO to lag for a while after using the jpeg command. pretty sure this only started up in the last 24-48 hours or so.

opting out of client beta restores functionality.

After the overlay crashes my controllers stopped working

It appears that this issue is no longer limited to the client beta. the second stable branch update today mentions a fix for a "browser crash" but the overlay still crashes after one screenshot in CS:GO.

AAmadeusTomboy 2022-11-17 github

Having same issue, taking a screenshot makes the overlay crash

DDareFox 2022-11-17 github

It appears that this issue is no longer limited to the client beta. the second stable branch update today mentions a fix for a "browser crash" but the overlay still crashes after one screenshot in CS:GO.

Can confirm, it happens to me in stable branch too

Aabhishek-rawal 2022-11-18 github

Likewise issue in latest stable build : 1668654564

Adding core, if that helps.

SSigmaSkid 2022-11-19 github

Steam stable, arch, everything up to date.

This issue also breaks steam input.
I need to restart my game every time I take a screenshot while playing with a controller.

MMershl 2022-11-21 github

looking at coredumpctl dump output we can see that it crashes at libopenal.so.1:

This brought up an idea. And I can confirm it's working: Disable "Play a sound" for screenshots to avoid the crash.

Hhenrym11106 2022-11-22 github

Disabling screenshot sound is a functional workaround for me on Arch as well.

UUnaccounted4 2022-11-24 github

Can confirm, disabling the sound is also a functional workaround for the crash on Nobara 36.

Crash dump from journalctl: overlaycrash-dump.txt

BBillFleming 2022-11-26 github

I was also having this issue on Arch until disabling the screenshot audio. Not sure if this is relevant, but I recently had some new crashing issues with some mpv applications due to having a few pipewire packages installed (alongside pulse that the system was actually using). Removing pulse/jack and switching properly to pipewire didn't have any affect on this issue.

Mmnn 2022-11-26 github

I am not entirely sure about the disabling audio solution. In FFXV it seemed to help, I was able to do several screenshots, but next few days it returned to its previous behavior (only takes one screenshot). Maybe it's not just one issue, but more? I remember that someone on protondb mentioned audio problems with that specific game, so it could be related to only one (or few) game(s)? It seems to work in other games I tried (same gaming session, same Steam instance).

I am on Manjaro and Steam is installed from repo (beta).

Ppurplebar0 2022-12-04 github

This brought up an idea. And I can confirm it's working: Disable "Play a sound" for screenshots to avoid the crash.

At last! I thought I was going crazy when a related thread in Steam Client Beta Discussions had no activity whatsoever.

Mmurlakatamenka 2022-12-14 github

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8871#issuecomment-1322213937

Thanks, great finding! And indeed a working temporary workaround, as others confirm too.

Code-wise it sounds like an unhandled exception. Surely inability to play a sound (something that you do in a separate thread) shouldn't crash the whole overlay process.

TTTimo 2022-12-14 github

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8942)

Hhenrym11106 2022-12-14 github

No crash for me with the new beta.

Zzany130 2022-12-14 github

still running into this on the latest beta https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8898 so maybe it wasn't related to this after all

DDareFox 2022-12-15 github

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (#8942)

No crash, but now there's no sound for screenshot

Kkattjevfel 2022-12-15 github

Fixed for me, no crash and sound is working (Arch Testing)

Mmurlakatamenka 2022-12-15 github

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (#8942)

Can confirm: no crashes, notification sound works.

XxDShot 2022-12-15 github

Fixed

PpopsUlfr 2022-12-16 github

In gamepadui/gamemode on the Steam Deck taking screenshots still does not work with the latest beta.

Ffeer9 2023-01-08 github

Can confirm it's fixed in the beta, still not working on stable branch

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2023-02-11 github

Closing per "Fixed crash when taking screenshots through the overlay" in the 2023-02-01 Steam client update.

SSTaveras 2024-03-09 github

This is still occurring. When taking a single screenshot, it will work; subsequent screenshots, kills the overlay.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2024-03-09 github

Hello @STaveras, please open a new issue report with the details of what you're seeing.
