I have the exact same problem... The only way to fix this for me is to close steam but it's not very convenient.

i think i tried closing steam before but it didnt work
i had a guess it might be something to do with the overlay system

it always has something to do with overlay

Edit" i think i might found the thing causing the issue
it might have something to do with connected controllers
i have two f710 controllers connected at all times

the problem started showing after the day i tried connecting my G27 and see if it works with this game
the game freaked out when i connected the wheel and strange things happened i remember

currently as i said i have two F710 connected i loaded the game and removed one of them and the game was running fine without the issue
then i plugged the second controller in again and the game kept running fine

i am not sure but the issue might have something to do with connected controllers
because the game is running fine right now and i didnt even restart my pc or anything
