Description Thomas Rohloff 2014-02-09 23:16:01 UTC
I switched from stable to git and since then the Steam overlay is not working anymore. I tested it with two games (Rust and Worms Reloaded) but could test it with more if needed.

With not working I mean exactly this. The message that it's enabled and you have to type shift + tab to open is doesn't show up, also shift + tab or F12 (taking screenshot) does nothing.

I may try to bisect it later but am not sure if I'll find the time.
Comment 1 Thomas Rohloff 2014-02-09 23:17:23 UTC
Forgot to say: This is on a HD 6950. Can't test other cards as I own that one only. Would be nice if others could test (also nouveau/intel) to see if that's really radeon only.
Comment 2 Ian Romanick 2014-02-10 01:29:51 UTC
Thomas: does this occur only with GIT master or with the 10.1 branch too?

Dylan: can you double check on i965?  I want to be sure we didn't break anything.
Comment 3 Thomas Rohloff 2014-02-10 02:45:16 UTC
Ian: Yes, the problem occurs with this, too:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.0-rc1 (git-1e6bba5)
Comment 4 Thomas Rohloff 2014-02-10 03:16:45 UTC
I just found this in dmesg (it appears every time I start a Steam game), pretty sure it is connected:

gameoverlayui[6032]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000f702b619 sp 00000000ffe0d7c0 error 4 in gameoverlayui.so[f6ef4000+45a000]

If anyone has any idea how to investigate into this more future please share.
Comment 5 Thomas Rohloff 2014-02-10 04:11:10 UTC
Sorry to say but I no longer think this is a mesa bug. Instead I think it's a library missmatch between my distro (Gentoo) and the Steam runtime.

Why I'm thinking this now? Well, cause with STEAM_RUNTIME=0 the overlay works.
Comment 6 Yury Zhuravlev 2014-02-10 20:42:08 UTC
I have trouble too. 
On a laptop with (i965) and on the desktop (r600g) does not work. 
On the laptop Ubuntu, Gentoo on the desktop. 
Everywhere I use KDE (kwin) but if you turn it on ubuntu Unity gameoverlay starts.

I confirm Steam Overlay doesn't work with radeon on Gentoo, on the contrary it works flawlessly with fglrx.
Comment 8 Mike Lothian 2014-02-20 19:20:23 UTC
Try it on the FireBurn overlay

Comment 9 Mike Lothian 2014-02-20 19:23:25 UTC
It might have something to do with the way mesa used to use libudev and the steam client using an older bundled version. I have steam working with both r600g and radeonsi
Comment 10 Emil Velikov 2014-02-20 23:52:00 UTC
I suspect that the issues you're seing are related to the libudev interaction that Mike stated. If you guys are having this problem with latest git I would suggest bisecting the issue.
Comment 11 darkbasic 2014-02-21 13:33:39 UTC
I definitely have this problem with latest git, didn't try early version. With STEAM_OVERLAY=0 it works flawlessly, unfortunately this is not a solution.
With Catalyst it works flawlessly even with STEAM_OVERLAY=1.

I use mesa+kernel from git with a A8-6500 APU/Radeon HD 8570D IGP ( that uses r600g and steam overlay works at least with Day of Defeat and L4D2.
Debian Testing 64 bit, xfce 4.10.

Guys, this is no Mesa bug. Please report your findings here: https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay/issues/97
