Every Game with EOS version of EAC Doesn't use the steam overlay.

[Mikey-Mayhem]

(any proton version.) The first EAC window that pops up steals the overlay, then when it leaves the game is left without the overlay/ steam input. for some reason this isn't an issue on the steam deck.

Can you list some affected games, please?

It happens for me with Elden Ring, haven't tried any other game with EAC though

[Mikey-Mayhem]

Elden Ring, Insurgency: Sandstorm, and now with the release of Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt, (which uses the EOS version as well) doesn't load the overlay. One time when opening elden ring i saw the overlay open on the EAC menu as it loaded, then when the game shows up, it's not there anymore. This is a problem for me because I can't use my steam controller on these titles.

Same issue here. Namely Elden Ring and Back 4 Blood (the latter doesn't bother me as I play with mouse and keyboard), but on games like Elden Ring it is troublesome to not have Steam Input active, as I have a rather complex config for the SC.

I've noticed this in Elden Ring as well, it's annoying too because this stops you from being able to take screenshots.

also Brawlhalla, already reported here

The EAC splash screen for Elden Ring. Can't replicate on Windows

Apparently gamescope can workaround this issue. This is why it isn't an issue on the steam deck.

[MabaKalox]

@TheNamelessWonderer only if Nvidia could meet requirements for gamescope to work :(

[TheNamelessWonderer]

It does work with the latest beta driver but there is currently a performance issue.

[Mikey-Mayhem]

new game same problem, hopefully nvidia drivers get sorted out soon.

I'm experiencing the same issue in Multiversus

[SuperMatt]

Yes, I have the same issue in Multiversus too, which is a problem because it prevents you from being able to buy any Gleamium, the in-game currency.

What I've found is that if I run steam using the Steam Deck UI then the game will allow me to switch to the new equivalent of the overlay and do what I need to do, but if I'm using the gamescope within regular Steam then I cannot successfully navigate through the menus to buy Gleamium
