Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Taking a screenshot or opening the new overlay via tab + shift will result in my game crashing about 70%~ of the time, this wasn't an issue until the new UI/Overlay released.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open any game (Risk of Rain 2 and Ultrakill are most affected for me, but it happens on any game too)
  2. Try to open the overlay or take a screenshot
  3. The game will most likely crash

This seems to be an issue on Wayland as well
