Of course, I'm sure I haven't manually set it to "Away".
In fact, if that was the case, my status wouldn't automatically change when I opened the Steam overlay, it would stay "Away".
I'm not sure what's going on here, like Steam thinks I'm afk when playing and only when I interact with it (through the overlay) it updates... Very weird.
Could be a Fall Guys issue, haven't played any other games recently.

If anyone has noticed similar behavior, please share your experience.

Probably one of the many congestion or back end issues that's been going on lately.

Have you tried deleting the web browser cache and/or reinstalling Steam (remembering to keep your steamapps folder intact)?

That normally fixes a host of wonky behaviour.

Deleted web browser cache and cookies, hopefully that does the trick. If it doesn't, I'll live with this issue for a while, I'll avoid re-installing Steam for now. Thank you for your response!

if you use controller you go away since mouse and keyboard arent being used so steam thinks youre afk when you open overlay "you come back to the pc" so it makes you not afk

Same. I also started a discussion about this issue.

I'm not using a controller, and I'm pretty sure Steam can detect controller inputs. Something else is wrong here, a bug or a bad installation of Steam on my end. Thanks for your comment though.

Thank you for sharing!

In REPO I noticed the same thing for me. All other games work fine. But REPO, every one of my friends also has the away and mobile status while playing at some point.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
