Steam Overlay can freeze the Mod Manager

Open ItsEasyActually opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

If a user replaces their game's executable (namely SA2's Launcher.exe) with the SA Mod Manager, it will cause a graphical glitch showing a stretched Steam Overlay notification. Doing anything to refresh the window fixes this. However it seems Steam's Overlay does get integrated and spam pressing Shift + Tab can cause it to "open" and also freeze the Mod Manager.

While I don't see this as a major issue, it's something we should tentatively look into fixing to some degree. Mainly due to the fact it can cause the manager to freeze.

Keeping this open for now in the event we ever find a way to resolve it. Referencing #296 here as I suspect Avalonia may resolve this issue. If it doesn't out of the box, will discuss resolving it as the Avalonia migration begins.
