Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

If you switch between different apps on the main page continuously, you will notice that sometimes the hero image flickers during the transition.

This has been annoying for a while so I disabled the animation and tried to see what was going on.

The following images are the frames of the screen recording that I switch the apps from Sekiro -> Code Vein -> Monster Hunter: World:

  • On Code Vein

    • It is showing the correct hero

  • During the transition from Code Vein to Monster Hunter World

    • It shows Sekiro's hero image for a moment.
    • The Sekiro's image is not supposed to show up here, I don't know why this wasn't properly destroyed.
    • This is the exact cause of the "flickering" visual experience.
    • If say Code Vein is the source and MHW is the destination, then from my observation, the wrong image is always from the game where the source was switched from - in this case, Sekiro.

  • On Monster Hunter World

    • Now it shows the correct hero.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Disable the hero change animation (Optional, just to make it easier to recognize)
  2. Have lots of games showing up in the recent game view.
  3. Keep pressing the left or right buttons, very soon you will see these glitches.

Btw, there are always a bunch of 404 errors when I switched to non-steam apps.

I can confirm this is also happening on the new big-screen mode
