Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1749753892

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Initiate game recording (about 5 seconds), end recording. Opened the steam overlay and clicked on "Game Recordings", found the recording and selected "Share" at the bottom right. Selected friend to share it with and it opens the chat and shows "Exporting recording..." or something along those lines.

Close the steam overlay and the Steam Client + Game crash.

The game window actually stays up but is completely unresponsive and the overlay won't come back up. Steam client crashed and closed.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. View game recordings
  2. Select share and choose who to share with
  3. Close the Steam Overlay
