Steam overlay not starting on wayland (lemmy.world)

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.

I personally also use Wayland but my menu works just fine so I have no clue what the problem is sadly
