Steam Tabs me out of the game when I receive a message

[SLNT]

It happens on different games. For me CSGO or Rocket League.
I have 2 Monitors and always play on Fullscreen.

Specs:
Ryzen 7 3700x
RTX 2070
Patriot Viper Steel 16GB DDR4-3600
MSI x570-A Pro

If the messages are closing certain games then that means the software/notification has higher priority over the game itself. Meaning you have to change your settings for the notifications on your desktop.

I've had this happen in a fullscreen game too, Overload.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Considering it's not the windows notification doing this. Windows disables those when it detects a fullscreen application.
The chat window itself pops up over certain games.

You mean the steam chat box from the Steam overlay? That causes the game to close out on you?

To be precise.

When I play the games I listed above (and probably every other steam game aswell) and someone sends me a message via Steam, I get tabed out to the chat box out of my game.

Do you have the Steam In-game Overlay on? That's the only reason I would think it would close out if it can't send the message directly ingame.

The Steam In-game Overlay is enabled

I still need help

I just found a fix for myself for this.
Go into task manager and set the priority on the application to higher than steam.

for instance this happened to me while playing GTA 3, not the most demanding game out there, so I went into Task Manager (CRTL+ALT+DEL), find GTA3.exe (exsample) right-click and click on "go to details" right-click again, and "set priority" I set mine to realtime, but my guess is if it's a higher value than the steam apps it should work just fine. :)

Just tried this and found out I've been playing with a high priority on csgo the whole time. So this unfortunately did not fix it.

I also found out that my fix didn't help very long, it just helped at that particular moment...

for now the thing that has helped me was to completly restart steam, this thing also happens a lot to a friend, but he just waited it out and it sorted itself. First time I'm having it though.

I have not found a solution. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesnt. Restarting steam works from time to time but not a permanent solution.

Hi guys. The same thing happens to me. And then i noticed, that the chat is undocked from my friendslist. Than i go to the chat settings (Chat is in settings still docked to the friendslist) undock it and dock it again than i restart steam and the bug is fixed... for the moment. Sometimes I ve to repeat this step 2-3 times until the chat is finally docked. BTW I dont know if the bugged chat still tabs me out this days bc I m gonna fix it every time I start steam.

Choose which apps display notifications

If notifications are distracting when they appear on your screen, adjust which apps display notifications and fine-tune how they appear.

Select Start > Settings > System > Notifications.

In Notifications from apps and other senders, turn off the apps you don't want notifications from and turn on the apps you do want to get notifications from.

To define where the notifications appear for each app, select a specific app, then change the options as desired.
