So today I installed Bazzite for the first time on my computer. I continued with the pre-installed steam package (which was surprisingly not flatpak).

I’m using an Intel cpu and an AMD RX6600. Games are working fine but I’m not able to use the in-game steam overlay. Some games like Apex legends rely on it to complete a sign in process. Apex is saying that I don’t have in-game overlays enabled, when I clearly have it enabled (for the game and within the gernal steam settings) . I tried changing the keys from the default ‘Shift+Tab’ but still no luck.

Does anyone have a solution for this ? Or should I install flatpak steam on Bazzite ?

Edit : It seems that I’m also not able to add steam libraries from other drives, not working with ntfs partitions and btrfs partitions.

Edit 2: I haven’t had the issue after I switched over to Bazzite-arch distrobox container for gaming.

    Does Bazzite use a gamescope session on wayland by default? Gamescope has a bug which prevents the wayland client from drawing the steam overlay. I suppose it’s unlikely to be the same issue but I happen to be dealing with it on my system (not Bazzite) so I immediately made the connection.
