Getting Punkbuster to Allow the Steam Overlay - Page 2

The overlay was allowed in previous versions. However, when Steam updated about a year ago it was blocked by PB. Steam is constantly changing itself now so this might be the reason.

I also heard after steam updated, the problem came along but there isnt a good excuse for not fixing it it has been a while.

Well, if that is true, then the burden falls on Steam. I know what their customer service is like, don't expect a solution from them unless you threaten to sue.

They need to collaborate with punkbuster, which is the worst program ever

I used to be able to open my Steamoverlay previously on Windows 10, but since the last few Steam Client Beta updates I haven't been able to do so and now having to alt-tab in order for me to talk with my friends on Steam:
Steamoverlay doesn't work in non-steam game

I use the steam overlay in PR all the time, no problems with Punkbuster at all. It works perfectly fine for me.
