My system information

  • Steam client version (Nov 9 2022):
  • Distribution (Arch Linux):
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes]
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes]

The Steam Overlay keeps crashing. It doesn't matter what game I play, it will just crash after about 5 - 10 minutes. It doesn't matter if it's big picture mode or the regular overlay, in fact I don't even have to open it. I can tell it crashes when my steam controller stops working. This has been present as far as the update which updated the Controller Configuration to the Steam Deck version. It works just fine on the regular branch.

For me it seems to crash the overlay after i take 1 screenshot in-game. Doesn't seem to crash on its own. Beta channel . Arch Linux. Works on stable channel.
