Hi! I notice your GPU drivers are quite outdated - please could you update your drivers, using the instructions here?:

I have the same problem as OP, yet having the newest Nvidia drivers (581.29). Turning off the overlay makes the problem go away, yet I think it should be only temporary solution. Hope you’ll see into that.
Cheers!

We’re looking in to this, and have identified that switching to DirectX 11 within the launcher’s ‘Settings’ menu is an alternative workaround should you not wish to disable the Steam Overlay.

Yes, the same alternative as with the nvidia drivers before. It works, but Dx11 got worse performance for me, so I’ll just stick with no overlay for now and wait for the fix
TY
