Before screenshot:

Immediately After:

After the overlay crashes my controllers stopped working

It appears that this issue is no longer limited to the client beta. the second stable branch update today mentions a fix for a "browser crash" but the overlay still crashes after one screenshot in CS:GO.

AmadeusTomboy · 2022-11-17T05:54:13Z

Having same issue, taking a screenshot makes the overlay crash

DareFox · 2022-11-17T11:48:39Z

It appears that this issue is no longer limited to the client beta. the second stable branch update today mentions a fix for a "browser crash" but the overlay still crashes after one screenshot in CS:GO.

Can confirm, it happens to me in stable branch too

abhishek-rawal · 2022-11-18T12:55:05Z

Likewise issue in latest stable build : 1668654564

Adding core, if that helps.

SigmaSkid · 2022-11-19T14:13:21Z

Steam stable, arch, everything up to date.

This issue also breaks steam input.
I need to restart my game every time I take a screenshot while playing with a controller.

Mershl · 2022-11-21T15:13:38Z

looking at coredumpctl dump output we can see that it crashes at libopenal.so.1:

This brought up an idea. And I can confirm it's working: Disable "Play a sound" for screenshots to avoid the crash.

henrym11106 · 2022-11-22T07:35:08Z

Disabling screenshot sound is a functional workaround for me on Arch as well.

Unaccounted4 · 2022-11-24T17:39:27Z

Can confirm, disabling the sound is also a functional workaround for the crash on Nobara 36.

Crash dump from journalctl: overlaycrash-dump.txt

BillFleming · 2022-11-26T15:26:18Z

I was also having this issue on Arch until disabling the screenshot audio. Not sure if this is relevant, but I recently had some new crashing issues with some mpv applications due to having a few pipewire packages installed (alongside pulse that the system was actually using). Removing pulse/jack and switching properly to pipewire didn't have any affect on this issue.

mnn · 2022-11-26T20:52:54Z

I am not entirely sure about the disabling audio solution. In FFXV it seemed to help, I was able to do several screenshots, but next few days it returned to its previous behavior (only takes one screenshot). Maybe it's not just one issue, but more? I remember that someone on protondb mentioned audio problems with that specific game, so it could be related to only one (or few) game(s)? It seems to work in other games I tried (same gaming session, same Steam instance).

I am on Manjaro and Steam is installed from repo (beta).

purplebar0 · 2022-12-04T12:40:11Z

This brought up an idea. And I can confirm it's working: Disable "Play a sound" for screenshots to avoid the crash.

At last! I thought I was going crazy when a related thread in Steam Client Beta Discussions had no activity whatsoever.

murlakatamenka · 2022-12-14T16:11:39Z

Replying to #8871 (comment)

Thanks, great finding! And indeed a working temporary workaround, as others confirm too.

Code-wise it sounds like an unhandled exception. Surely inability to play a sound (something that you do in a separate thread) shouldn't crash the whole overlay process.

TTimo · 2022-12-14T16:37:17Z

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (#8942)

henrym11106 · 2022-12-14T19:50:08Z

No crash for me with the new beta.

zany130 · 2022-12-14T23:20:20Z

still running into this on the latest beta #8898 so maybe it wasn't related to this after all

DareFox · 2022-12-15T09:55:03Z

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (#8942)

No crash, but now there's no sound for screenshot

kattjevfel · 2022-12-15T11:43:17Z

Fixed for me, no crash and sound is working (Arch Testing)

murlakatamenka · 2022-12-15T22:04:49Z

This is fixed in latest steam beta, please retest (#8942)

Can confirm: no crashes, notification sound works.

xDShot · 2022-12-15T22:11:54Z

Fixed

popsUlfr · 2022-12-16T09:56:37Z

In gamepadui/gamemode on the Steam Deck taking screenshots still does not work with the latest beta.

feer9 · 2023-01-08T06:23:57Z

Can confirm it's fixed in the beta, still not working on stable branch

kisak-valve · 2023-02-11T01:50:30Z

Closing per "Fixed crash when taking screenshots through the overlay" in the 2023-02-01 Steam client update.

STaveras · 2024-03-09T23:01:09Z

This is still occurring. When taking a single screenshot, it will work; subsequent screenshots, kills the overlay.
