Describe the bug
SteamVR integration stopped working after Nightly 2025-08-21T12.00-712acf6 (or Release 2025.06.30).
As a result, overlay and notifications do not appear.
Subsequent versions tested, none worked.

Toggling Overlay set to start with SteamVR/VRC does not solve the issue.
Toggling "Disable VR Overlay GPU Acceleration" does not solve issue.

Problem started at Nightly 2025-08-23T21.52-a395a2b.
Likely caused by: Update OpenVR: 6103405222

What version you are running
SteamVR 2.7.4 (Updating not viable. Newer versions break existing setup & software.)

Quick hacks like dropping in an old DLL would be welcome (using the older openvr_api.dll didn't change anything), but if all fails I'm willing to build it myself against the older OpenVR version. (P.S. Not a programmer.)
