Steam Overlay looks weird

In some games, Steam Overlay does not display any text or images. But in other games it works perfectly fine.


I tried changing the graphics settings of the games, running them in full screen or windowed, but it has no effect.

There is a post related to my problem, but there was no solution: Steam overlay doesn't work properly

Hi @Adriik,

Sorry for asking the silly questions, but have you tried with a different kernel? Preferably an LTS one?

I just tried kernel 5.10 and 5.15. No change.

That’s covered, then.

What output/error (if any) do you get is you run steam from the terminal?

/usr/bin/steam-runtime %U

According to my launcher, anyway.

This is the output by opening Steam, running a game and exiting Steam:

steam-runtime

[2022-01-26 12:35:22] Shutdown

How do you launch it? From the launcher? (“Start” menu.) Or another way?

I’m no expert, and very rarely play my dingle game, however this:

Looks concerning to me.

Try running steam like this, and see if it helps:

LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libharfbuzz.so steam-runtime

Hope this helps!

Edit:

Nevermind. Just saw my STEAM also giving those errors on shutdown, so I doubt that’s the reason.

Still, try that command. Maybe it makes a difference.

Also, how did you install STEAM?

Usually via dmenu, sometimes via terminal.

No success.

By default in the Manjaro installation , the package is steam-manjaro.

Strange that it only happens with some games. I’m noob with Linux, so I can’t think what it could be.
