Steam Overlay No Longer Works
Hi all,
Steam overlay is no longer working for me since updating to Bazzite 42. Using built in Steam (not Flatpak as I incorrectly stated in a previous ticket), 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.

can you share a screenshot of your Steam Settings, In-Game tab?
I'm on a different image (bazzite-gnome:testing), and I still have the shift+tab overlay
try changing the shortcut to something else like ctrl+tab temporarily to see if that kicks it into gear
and move the FPS counter to a different corner
just tried both, no change. when i try and buy something via counter strike store, i get this message:
it's like the game is not detecting that the overlay is enabled
