Description

I'm not sure if this is issue with my specific setup, but it seems steamoverlay doesn't work with any dxvk games. On the otherhand steamoverlay works with wine+dxvk when using khronos vulkan loader. I don't see any information regarding overlay compatibility and requirements on proton readme, nor any idea how to debug this issue.

Does proton use the native overlay? If so, does it need some prerequisites for vulkan enabled games? I have no native linux vulkan games.

Check the Proton README for overlay compatibility and Vulkan prerequisites, then document a confirmed cause or the required debugging evidence.
