Hi, I am not able to open Steam Overlay only while I am in matches but works everywhere else in-game, here are the details:

1) Steam Overlay is enabled in Steam's settings
2) I have tried opening Steam Overlay with and without Ubisoft Connect Overlay enabled
3) I have tried reinstalling the game and verifying the integrity of files
4) I have tried running/opening everything as an administrator
5) My Steam Overlay key binds does not come into conflict with my R6 key binds
6) I have tried various display settings to no avail, including the switching of Fullscreen/Windowed/Borderless, aspect ratio, resolution

To be more specific, whenever I am in matches I have to first press the Esc key to bring up R6's menu before I can open Steam Overlay,
this issue has consequently remove my ability to take Steam screenshots during my matches and also on the Victory/Defeat screen

Hey BaLLzl3 I've just merged in another thread from someone having the same issue. Please see my response to them, above.

@BaLLzl3, if you are able to share your solution, we'd all really appreciate that

Thanks for reporting this to us as well, rEHa, and welcome to the forums!

Had you also tried the verifying the game files step I'd mentioned? You'll find this described in our troubleshooting guide, as well as how to launch Ubisoft Connect and Siege using administrator rights - can you try that for me?

Let me know if verifying the game files or running with admin rights solves the issue. If not, I'll have some other steps we can try

Hey rEHa_.DX11, thanks for the update and sorry to hear that issue remains.

Could you advise us since when did issue start to happen? Also, did you possibly try disabling any background applications that may be using overlay? For more information, have a look at the following article.

Keep us updated!
