Are you on Linux? Steam Overlay tends to be unreliable on it regardless

[sorae42]

Steam Overlay certainly doesn't work on macOS as well.

[WinterPhoenix]

It's an enigma, honestly.

As far as I can tell, this is a Facepunch issue related to OpenGL on Linux. Other overlays (such as MangoHud) also do not work.

This is actually just due to unset LD_PRELOAD in hl2.sh. Comment that out and it should work

[ChloeDawn]

Commenting out unset LD_PRELOAD in hl2.sh on the current game patch and 20240926 fix causes the game to freeze for a long period at startup and then crash after rendering the first frame of the loading progress bar. Is there another workaround for getting the overlay? It is a requirement for the relatively new game recording feature.

Carefully controlling LD_PRELOAD yourself so whatever's needed for Steam Overlay can load but nothing else
