Steam Overlay keeps popping up

[RestfulCrow]

So I start a game in this case Final Fantasy 14 and I enter my log in info. All of a sudden without pressing Shift and Tab the overlay pops up. Now I try to close it with Shift and tab again yet instead its frozen in place I can't exit the game normally I got to task manage it. If I try to close it the normal way it starts slowly disappearing while showing the game screen but still not fully going away. Its annoying and this has never happened before. Please help me fix this I don't really want to turn steam overlay fully off on all my games because of this new problem.

It keeps randomly opening for me when I tab out of Destiny 2 and the return to the game. It's very annoying, but at least it closes when I want it to. Google shows similar things happening for many years, but it just recently started happening with Destiny, and hasn't with any other game for me yet.

Same here, happens when i tab into D2, i've changed the hotkey and it still happens, i can even close it just by pressing shift by itself, the hotkey isn't stopping it.

Try reinstalling steam? I doubt its the problem but it is worth a try?

I tried that and it didn't fix it. I had to just disable steam overlay or whatever it is. Thank you for the reply though.

Yeah you can just disable it in Steam properties.

It's gotten much better in Destiny recently, but it's still there.

This is so annoying! Disabling Steam Overlay is not a solution because it disables special controller configurations.

Having similar problems while playing raft. I’ve disabled steam overlay and changed the keys but it still comes up.
Wouldn’t be a huge problem if it didn’t lock the controls when it came up! If I’m pressing the w a s or d keys my character will continue moving and I can’t stop it till I manually exit the overlay. If you have a fix please tell us.

Did you find a solution?

I have had the same issue for a couple of months. I have reinstalled Steam and CS:GO but it didn't help. It pops up on every game and it also popped up now when I am writing in web browser. It seems like it restarts the whole client and signs in friends again but I still can play CS and it won't say I logged out from Steam for a second. This is so annoing.
