Issue when running game from the playnite (game frontend) that launched through steam to get the steam overlay.
I start playnite through steam to get the big picture steam overlay for majority of games running from playnite. It used to work fine for many days until around 3rd week of June beta update (not sure which exact beta update is causing this issue), the issue is when I launch a game from playnite and press the overlay open button (Alt+tab), sometimes (like 50/50 chances) overlay don't open, instead game gets minimized to the playnite/desktop and when I switch back to the game, desktop overlay get's opened in place of BP overlay in the game, that too will be unresponsive and completely useless. I had to open the task manager to end the game, playnite and sometimes steam and open all again. It's very irritating and frustating issue and no beta updates ever since is resolved this issue or even this issue got mentioned anywhere as far as I know.

Just to add a point, also when I launch the game as a non-steam game directly from steam without playnite, overlay works perfectly fine.

Please fix this issue Valve, I am very depended on the steam overlay to be worked with all playnite games.

Thanks!
