Shift + Tab Twice for overlay?

[LaGGer]

Does anyone find that they have to do it twice while in game to bring up the overlay for the first time or am I the only one having this problem?




Steam Client Beta Update - June 2
We've just published a new beta which includes the following changes.

General
Fixed in-game overlay sometimes not activating on first hot-key press after game launch

Has appeared to fix the problem for me as of 6/2/2014

There can be a few times here and there where it acts 'sticky' or slow, so I have to mash the Shaft Tab a few times for it to come up, especially in a high resource demanding game. Sometimes the overlay can take a while to load when starting a game, and I have to wait a min or two for it to load before opening. To answer yes this does happen to others, but unless this has been happening more often recently perhaps something elso has came up on your computer/steam?

Actually had that problem, changing the shortcut worked for me.

I might be a month late on this, but I'm having the same problem. Description:

The overlay will start if I mash the button a few times. It seems to toggle while being invisible.

At random times while the overlay is up, it will quit back to the game as if I'd hit the shortcut.

At no time does the gameoverlayui.exe image leave the task manager.


Attempted solutions:
I always run as admin
I have checked boxes to my wits' end (the community overlay boxes in settings)
I have changed the hotkey a few times
I've checked it in games of varying graphical intensity, to see if it's just computer lag. It still happens in Papers, Please.
I have also made sure I don't have any conflicting programs open/installed

Basically this is very annoying because whenever the overlay decides to finally open, it closes shortly thereafter anyway. It takes me several minutes just to look up achievements in-game because of this issue.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Works well for me. Sometimes it's delayed but once it opens, it's good. Yes sometimes I have to push it twice or it just hasn't loaded yet.

I suggest reinstalling steam or even windows. Probly another way idk.

Messaggio originale di mjpking:

Same problem, only the first time after the game has launched.

Same here. Since one of the recent client updates, Shift+Tab doesn't work the first time in a game session. Must be a Steam bug.

How to get 'shift-tab' menu on mac osx 10.9 (if its not working of course)
1. Go to System Preferences
2. Go to Security & Privacy
3. Click the lock at bottom left (to make changes)
4. Click Accessibility and tick Steam
5. Have fun pressing Shift Tab ;)

Same issue here.

Ugh I was hoping the bf and I were the only ones having this issue. I find you also have to hit the screenshot button twice before it responds the first time you want to use it, also.
