Steam overlay on developer camera bugs the game. [NOT A BUG]

#1 Post by Dood » 16 Apr 2017 18:24

When you turn on Steam Overlay (shift+tab by default) while being on developer (or "0" camera) camera almost everything stops working.
You can still move and rotate dev camera, turn on and off console (and type and do commands in it) but there's no pause screen (which is showing when turning overlay on normal cameras), escape does nothing, truck doesn't respond for WSAD or steering wheel.
You have to restart the game to play it properly.
It's reproductive 100% of the time. Just turn on steam overlay on dev cam and bug it's instantly on.
The version of the game is 1.27.1.5s, it's both 32 and 64bit.

Hi,

I tested it on few versions and no problem. According to game log, i dont see any clear reason for this happening to you.

Can you post your pc spec?

Id blame some 3rd party application and weak pc rig, or trackir... .

Anybody else got same problem?

I can confirm this issue in our latest close beta build too. It happened to me earlier while I was testing something.

I will try and see if I can get it to happen on a clean profile (I was testing a mod when it happened to me previously).

edit: I sent a video and info to Carthoo via PM since I can't post it publicly.

Ok, got it. When you are in dev cam and go to steam overlay game is paused (you see it in upper left corner).

So simply press F1 to unpause the game and everything works normally.

That works. I guess I hit F1 one too many times in testing and "repaused" it. There was no overlay for the pause menu so I assumed it hadn't worked. :lol:

Wow, F1 really unpauses it. So for some reason game pauses, but doesn't show it's paused.

Almost every game is paused when u go into steam overlay. Developer camera isnt regular mechanic for regular playing, so there is no big "pause" sign - and doesnt need to be imho :)

Previously there was, so when it disappeared I thought it was a bug.

there were made core changes in camera management, so its quite possible something will behave bit differently than before. although it may or may not be bug, we are thankful for the report (its just good to know).
thanks.
Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.
