This seems to be some kind of collision with Raidcall overlay (which doesn't work anyway heh)

[aiusepsi]

I'm not an expert with stack traces (I've not earned my code-ninja badge yet) but it looks like an infinite recursion, with the same function (overlay+0x99ec) calling itself over and over. Each time, that pushes a few variables onto the stack, which eventually runs out of space and overflows.

[henryg]

Does this problem go away when you disable the Raidcall overlay? We don't officially support their software, but I would like to know if it is causing the Steam overlay to crash.

[Squall Leonhart]

changing the overlay hotkeys resolved it somewhat. their overlay still doesn't work but atleast its not getting half loaded and causing games to crash now.
