Steam overlay not starting on wayland
Hello,
when I am in game, and press Shift+Tab, the Steam overlay does not want to open (literally nothing happens). I have the overlay and the shortcut configured in the steam settings.
Any ideas if this can be fixed, or is it just wayland problem that i have to wait out?
It's not a Wayland problem, the new Steam Overlay works fine for me on Sway. Sorry, not sure why you don't have it, maybe a missing dependency or something? What are you running?
It seems that now it only does not work in one game (as far as i have tested). The game in question is Warframe. So it seems that its truly not a wayland problem.
Yeah, the overlay not functioning with individual games is a fairly common problem. You're only experiencing it since the new UI though? Perhaps discuss it in the Proton github issue for Warframe.
I personally also use Wayland but my menu works just fine so I have no clue what the problem is sadly
I don't know how to fix your issue. But I can tell you that it works for me in Wayland (Sway). Maybe try and search for your issue paired with your specific desktop environment (KDE? Gnome?).
Lately it crashes some games for me on X11. Did it on the first steam update after the major recent one.
