Description

(any proton version.) The first EAC window that pops up steals the overlay, then when it leaves the game is left without the overlay/ steam input. for some reason this isn't an issue on the steam deck.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with games using the EOS version of EAC across Proton versions, observing the first EAC window and the Steam overlay or Steam Input afterward. Compare the behavior with Steam Deck, where the issue is not reported. Done means the game retains overlay and Steam Input functionality after the EAC window closes.
