In default they are precompiled under client/dist/overlay but if you are making changes you might want to compile on your own

  1. open gameoverlay.sln and build all (Release/Win32 + Release/x64) or just run build.bat in game-overlay directory
  2. copy files [n_overlay.dll, n_overlay.x64.dll, n_ovhelper.exe, n_ovhelper.x64.exe] from directory game-overlay\bin\Release to directory client/dist/overlay
