Every time I close a game, there's an extra invisible window or popup thing I need to close before I get to the recent games menu. This only started happening sometime before the 3.5 update and I was hoping that it was just a bug that was going to get fixed but nothing has happened so far.

Anyone else have this issue? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?

I’ve noticed a black screen after exiting a game lately but just thought it was a problem with the specific game. I have to press the back button to get out of it and back to where you’d normally land after exiting a game, the game selection page/menu from the library in steam (there’s probably a better name for it).

Is that what you mean?

Maybe - I'm really bad at explaining things so I'll probably just get more specific than I have to

Basically, there's two menus I'm referring to - the "play game" menu and whatever menu you have before that (I'll just say library). Without starting a game, I can go to and from each menu with one button press. If I start and exit any game, I return to the play game menu, but in order to go back to the library menu I have to press B twice; it acts like I'm closing an invisible menu or something which could be the black screen in your case.

In reality, this bug isn't anything major - I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing it and/or if anyone knew why it was happening (maybe someone with CSS experience could make a plugin to fix it)

Yes this is the same issue I’ve noticed. I’ve been playing Vampire Survivor exclusively for some time so I’m not sure if the problem is game specific or SteamOS. Probably the latter. I can run a different game later and see or maybe you can let me know.

If the screen goes black for a moment when you leave the game that may depend from the dysplay resetting the fps value. This should be fixed by setting the fps at 90 or 45.
