[2019] Steam overlay not working

Hello all. As the title states i am having trouble getting my steam overlay to work. Shift+Tab does not work and i have tried validating and reinstalling the game, also when i press C to invite friends, the invite window appears but my mouse is locked to the game and i have to restart the game to get it off my screen.

Side note: Whenever i start the game and when ever a mission finishes it always puts me as scout, i don't know why but its not that much of an issue.
