Symptoms

Kartrider Drift is almost flawless except for some quirks that break Steam Input. If you perform a screenshot using the guide shortcut (e.g. Steam + R-shoulder), the game stops responding to any controller input, and the Steam overlay also stops appearing on top of the game. On devices without a keyboard like the Steam Deck, this renders the device softlocked unless a peripheral is plugged in that can force another window to the top (e.g. using a remote device paired with KDE Connect, and then selecting Run command > Create command). Other commands that act similarly to the screenshot shortcut may also trigger this bug, but I could not confirm this.

I suspect this may be triggered by Nexon Game Security, the anticheat used in this game.

Reproduction

1. Launch Kartrider Drift
2. Login to the game
3. Perform a screenshot using the Guide button + the right shoulder button. The game should soon stop responding to any controller using Steam Input, as well as no longer showing Steam overlay.
