No access to Steam Overlay if Game Recording is ON

[bograch_ttv]

title say that all, Shift + Tab and i only see the recordign bar, if turned off completely than i can use steam overlay. Like idk why you need to sacrifice steam overlay for one feature?! nonsense

Same here. After Shift+Tab the rest overlay is vanishing in a second and only recording menu remains.

I've also been having this issue since beta.

The same behavior occurs in all games.

Occurs in all games that I've tried. Immediately after shift-tabbing to bring up overlay, it is hidden behind the Steam Recording menu. The "quick" buttons are not visible below for me, but they can be clicked and activated, which does bring up the appropriate overlay window (eg, clock -> opens the clock)

I turned this feature ON in overlay menu, overlay is visible and interactable for a second, before Recording is overlaying the overlay

Not sure if you're still having the issue still but apparently if you previously used a Steam skin for your client it can cause issues with the overlay with the new update. I deleted the 'skins' folder from my Steam install and restarted Steam and that seemed to fix the issue for me.

Omg, that really worked. Thank you
