DayZ ingame Steam Overlay won't start on notebooks with discrete Nvidia graphic cards
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

I play on Lenovo y580 laptop with i7 3610qm and geforce gtx 660m
I have the latest Nvidia driver installed (v376.33) and DayZ is the only game that not loads Steam Overlay in game.
Found out that v359.06 Nvidia Geforce driver is the last one on which steam overlay works for DayZ, every driver past this one is faulty.

Yes, on both 64bit and 32bit clients. And i'm not using any other overlay or recording software whatsoever.
