MAC OS Steam overlay not responding for Dota 2 and CS:GO

[gvr1421]

Hi. I launched DotA 2 yesterday, found game and started to play it. When i was moving camera fps was jumping from 90 to 30 and then dota suddenly hanged out. I couldn't click anything. Only way to close the game was closing it with cmnd+options+escape. I tried to rc the game but was getting same problem every time (finally I got low priority). Then i tried to play with bots and i got the same problem again. Sometimes dota crashed itself, w/o using cmnd+options+esc.. I don't think this probem is bcoz of my computer. I also tried to play CS:GO. There was same. Tried to find solution in google. Ilaunched steam in big picture mode, minimized my video settings in dota, changed resolutions, reinstalled dota, but it didnt help. Also tried to on VSync. (

Here is my comp:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012
2,9 GHz Intel Core i5
8 gb 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 Мb

i've also opened system monitoring and found out that my gameoverlay doesn't work during my game session. It says that it doesn't repsond (gameoverlay)

[gdrewb-valve]

The problem occurs in both Dota and CS:GO and is gameoverlayrenderer in both cases? gameoverlayrenderer is what handles the Steam overlay so I've assigned this to a Steam dev.

[gvr1421]

i will check it in cs go now

[gvr1421]

Oh, i've deleted steam trying to solve the problem. Installing cs-go now

[gvr1421]

Have just checked it. Overlay doesn't respond in cs go too

[gvr1421]

And thank you, Drew

hi @gvr1421 - looking to debug this but can't yet reproduce it. is it immediate for you or does it stop responding after a period of time, and if so how long? also i noticed your macOS version is 10.12.3 - I have been trying on 10.12.2 and 10.11.6, so wondering if this problem only appeared after you recently updated to 10.12.3? i'll test 10.12.3 as well but interested to hear from you - thanks for your time!

hi @natbro . I got the problem on 10.11 (El Captain), I upgraded for SIerra trying to solve it. but the problem persists even after the update.
2) After i pick hero and begin game dota freezes and i cant do anything. Dota is crashing or just freezes. If it freezes i have to cmd+opt+esp to close it.

[gvr1421]

and also. I've noticed today when i launched the game, there wasn't note about overlay "doesn't respond" in system monitoring

[gvr1421]

And have jjust checked it again, and overlay doesn't respond=)

@gdrewb-valve Hi. As u said in the other issue topic i have visited nvidia drivaers update page and couldnt find there gtx 660m drivers for mac os. What can i do?

[kisak-valve]

Hello @gvr1421, because Apple does not support third party video drivers, there is only one or two versions of the nvidia web driver that is compatible with a specific build of MacOS. You can use http://www.macvidcards.com/drivers.html to help match between your specific version of MacOS and nvidia's web driver.

@kisak-valve i have downaloaded driver on ur link and now dota works^ but i have really low fps. abput 50 when i hust moving and 15-20 in fights. can u give me some settings in autoexec to normalize it?
