Topic: Steam linux overlay freezes game.

Hello!

There seems to be a problem with the Linux version of Teeworlds on Steam. Whenever I open the Steam overlay (by pressing SHIFT+TAB) the game freezes. After I toggle the Steam overlay off the game is no longer responding to any input and I am forced to restart the computer.

I guess this is not such a big deal since there are not that many Linux users on Steam, but it would still be nice if you could find a fix for it since I keep forgetting this bug exists and keep restarting my computer.

Oh, and thanks for putting this game on Steam and making a Linux version too, really awesome game.

Edit: Here is the console output:

Re: Steam linux overlay freezes game.

seems no need to reboot, unless i am wrong, just switch to a TTY and kill the teeworlds process. Still, we should try to fix this.

Re: Steam linux overlay freezes game.

Yes, that actually works for closing the game when it locks up, did not think of that earlier, thanks.

Something else I discovered is that if you go to Settings-->Graphics and select "Borderless window" instead of "Fullscreen" and restart the game, the game no longer freezes when you access the Steam overlay.  So whatever the problem is, it seems to be related to the game running in fullscreen mode.

But there seems to be another problem when running the game in a borderless window. After you have toggled the Steam overlay on and off, there will be two cursors displaying instead of one;  the normal desktop cursor which will be stuck at the center of the screen and the game's cursor which acts normally. Not sure if this is somehow related to the fullscreen freeze.

Edit: No clues in /tmp/gameoverlayui.log either I think:

Re: Steam linux overlay freezes game.

when the two cursors appear, try pressing f1 twice and clicking into the window?
