Escape button stopped working in game

You dont need ot kill overwolf at all, just open trade and close it again and escape comes back automatically. It did to me at least.

it was overlay for me. had to close it out. i think the alt button gets "stuck on" sometimes. just had to relaunch overlay and everything was fine.

Hey, I think I found a solution to keep Overwolf.

Overwolf settings / overlay & hotkeys / click on poe3 / ah no you are in 25... happy new year ! / click on poe2 / go down and unbound the "close in-game menu" where you can see the ESC.
