Steam Overlay No Longer Works
Hi all,
Scratching my head on this one. Looks like steam overlay no longer works for me since updating to Bazzite 42. Steam is installed via flatpak, never had any issues before the last round of updates.
Shift Tab (usual command to open overlay) does nothing, and my in game FPS counter is not displaying. In steam settings, both overlay and fps counter are enabled.

why are you using steam flatpak when steam is preinstalled on bazzite?
maybe saying that i'm using flatpak was incorrect. i can see steam installed on the built in software app, that's it
just checked on my PC. seems like the overlay & fps counter arent showing on certain games, but showing on others
are you using gamescope? can you turn it off and see if it helps?
I haven't configured gamescope manually so I don't think so
Using flatpak steam
We do not support this, uninstall and use the included one
