[BUG REPORT] Social Overlay pops up at random on the desktop (not ingame)

xeoncat · March 9, 2026, 11:00am

Issue: The Social Overlay that should only open ingame just shows up on the desktop

Frequency: once a day, seemingly at random

Steps to Reproduce: I have no idea, version is stated in the settings as 19.2.1-51159753+++UE5+Release-Distro-5.5

Workaround: I have to close EGS and reopen to make it go away

I have the same issue. It will randomly pop up and minimize the game while I’m trying to play. It’s very annoying and a feature I ever even use.

Did you find a solution?

I have reinstalled EGS and updated it and up to now there are no sightings of this.

However ther is an odd “constellation” of processes and I surely do not have a C:\snapshot with any node.js
