If Steam Wallet is non-functional in game (you press the Steam Wallet button and nothing happens) or the Steam overlay doesn't appear when you press shift-tab here are some things you can try. Ensure Steam Overlay is enabled Make sure that the Steam overlay is enabled while in game. To do so, bring up the Steam properties (Windows) or settings (OS X) via the Steam menu.
Select In-Game and then tick the 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game' check-box. On OS X, enable Universal Access 1) Open System Preferences, go into 'Security and Privacy', select Steam from the list and hit the - button to remove it. Then quit and restart Steam. Once Steam prompts you for 'Universal Access', go turn it back on. 2) If that doesn't work, you may have to do some system hackery with Terminal, following the instructions here: Quit Steam Close System Preferences Open Terminal and paste in the command: sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/Tcc.db 'delete from access where client like '%Steam%' Go back into 'Accessibility' under 'Security and Privacy' in System Preferences and make sure Steam isn't listed. Close System Preferences Start Steam. When you start a game, Steam should ask you to turn on 'Universal Access' for the Steam overlay.
I work with many labs in a high school full of eMac computers running OS 10.4.11 and am having trouble will Universal Access features. The features are great for the users who need them, but in many cases make the computer unusable by users who don't unless someone knows the shortcuts to toggle that feature.
Use that to open System Preferences again. Check the box next to Steam if it isn't already checked and close System Preferences.
Ensure game is running in direct render mode This should be the default, but if you changed the game to render in (, this will prevent the Steam overlay appearing. You'll need to change the game back to direct mode or purchase through our web client (see below).
Use Paypal through web client If you still can't get the wallet overlay to appear, you can purchase through Paypal via our web client at: You will need a password to login via the web which you can set through the in-game menu options. Even yesterday it was taking a while before the Wallet overlay appeared. With today's high lag you might want to try waiting at least a couple of minutes to see if it comes up. Can you see the general Steam overlay if you press Shift + Tab while in-game in Card Hunter? That comes up quickly and tells you that the Steam overlay is actually working. If it doesn't show, you probably still need to change some settings.
The general Steam overlay is showing up immediately for me right now even despite the lag. Ok, thanks for the info! I'm sure it will be helpful for the developers when they sort through this.
Just to double-check, could you please check the following: - right-click on 'Card Hunter' in your Games list in the Steam Library screen - click Properties - on the General tab, check that 'Enable the Steam overlay while in-game' is turned on This is in addition to the instructions Jon posted in the first post of this thread. Even if the general Steam overlay setting is on, Card Hunter's game-specific overlay setting can be off and that would prevent the overlay from appearing. I have both settings turned on and when I tested the Steam wallet button from the in-game Pizza shop it opened the overlay in a couple of seconds or less even with the high lag. If you have both settings turned on and the Steam wallet button still does nothing, please send an email to with the details of your problem.
They will sort it out for you as soon as they can. In case you're on a Mac running Yosemite (like me) and run into this, there are a couple other things to try: 1) Open System Preferences, go into 'Security and Privacy', select Steam from the list and hit the - button to remove it. Then quit and restart Steam. Once Steam prompts you for 'Universal Access', go turn it back on. 2) If that doesn't work, you may have to do some system hackery with Terminal, following the instructions here:.
Quit Steam. Close System Preferences. Open Terminal and paste in the command: sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/Tcc.db 'delete from access where client like '%Steam%'. Go back into 'Accessibility' under 'Security and Privacy' in System Preferences and make sure Steam isn't listed. Close System Preferences. Start Steam. When you start a game, Steam should ask you to turn on 'Universal Access' for the Steam overlay.
Use that to open System Preferences again. Check the box next to Steam if it isn't already checked and close System Preferences.

I have this exact problem. The only thing I have figured out is: 1:When prompted by steam (I am presented with two different links for it), open the Universal Access preference pane which can be opened in System Preferences - Security and Privacy - Privacy - Accessibility. 2: Click the lock at the bottom left corner of the window, and enter your password when prompted. 3: Click the check-box next to the Steam icon in the Accessibility pane. 4: Repeat step 2 (just the clicking). 5: Now Repeat step 2 for real. 6: Repeat step 3.
The trouble is if you close the game and open it again without restarting your computer, there is no prompt, and this workaround doesn't work. Also, the check-box is checked initially, so I'm left to assume that my computer has everything set correctly, but there is some sort of issue with the Steam application. I don't know much about computers, though.
