Update: if this does not help, restart Steam

    • Notifications for Timer and Alarm.
  • Hide/Show in-game overlay by pressing a keyboard shortcut (WIP, but should work), disabled by default, read more here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/908520/discussions/0/1735462352484917218/?ctp=3#c1770385542765801452
  • Fixed the overlay window position "under the controller" for WMR controllers and Knuckles controllers, the reason is that the SteamVR laser pointer may conflict with the overlay window
  • Fixed several positions of the overlay window for Knuckles controllers to prevent intersection of the overlay window and controller model
