Some players have reported that the game may freeze or the PC may become unresponsive when opening the Steam Overlay (Shift + Tab). After investigating, we found that this issue is related to the Steam Overlay rendering on some systems.

Temporary Solution: You can launch the game with the following launch option:

-disable-overlay-gpu-priority

How to do this:

  1. Go to your Steam Library.

  2. Right-click the game and select Properties.

  3. In the Launch Options field, enter:

    -disable-overlay-gpu-priority
  4. Close the window and start the game.

This should prevent the freeze from happening when using the Steam Overlay.

We’ll keep monitoring the situation and share updates if a more permanent solution becomes available. Thanks for your patience and for reporting this issue! 🙏
