Issue Description:

Expected:
Being able to open and use the new Steam Overlay in CSGO, as it always used to work before.

What happened:
When trying to Open the new Overlay, CSGO freezes for a couple of seconds, then crashes. This seems to happen only with CSGO, I tested warframe (Proton), and portal 2 (Native), both other games working fine.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Update to newest beta Steam.
  2. Launch CSGO (No launch options, Native Version).
  3. Wait until game finished loading.
  4. Press [ALT + TAB] to open Steam in-game Overlay.
