First off I’m on wayland with Nvidia and I know that’s a cardinal sin but I still wanted to see if anyone else is having the same problem. Simply, steam ui seems to crash or go unresponsive or something in the background while I’m playing games and then it relaunches itself and takes focus from the running game without pausing it. Also when playing with a controller sometimes the steam ui and overlay becomes unresponsive to controller input (and rarely mouse input too) so I need to use keyboard to navigate. Also today the game suddenly turned black and when I alt tabbed steam ui wasn’t there so I launched it myself and then another one popped up on its own.

Is this a known issue? I found a resolved github issue saying steam crashes if you don’t click on notifications, but for me it happens regardless of notifications. Should I create an new issue on github?
