Please download the latest driver for your Intel HD graphics 4400 (https://downloadmirror.intel.com/26229/eng/win64_154028.4501.exe) as you already have the latest for your second GeForce GPU. It's possible that update (Nvidia card has last months' driver) combined with the non-updated Intel card, creates trouble with optimus as the essence of optimus is a combo of both. That is even very likely because just a few weeks ago or later that driver was updated and you got these issues now.

I'd also like to see a screenshot of any error you get or tell me how the problem manifests exactly. Also did you try all Optimus selection options on MTA launch, and did you once just keep the default selection without altering it, and launching immediately?

Besides the Intel driver not being updated while Nvidia one is problem, it can be caused by the Nvidia driver update you did last month in a different way: you needed to keep the laptop manufacturer's official Nvidia driver specificly for your laptop model.

I've seen alot of cases where updating of laptop brand supplied ''OEM'' drivers to generic latest ones from Nvidia/Intel, leads to problems like this because the cards fail to integrate with eachother from that moment (it can break optimus compatibility and switching). 

So if you tried the first things I mentioned, and it doesn't work, go to your laptop manufacturer's driver page and download only the listed drivers for your laptop model Acer Aspire E5-571G (Nvidia and Intel ones for graphics)

 

Also update the Intel chipset driver: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/26229/eng/win64_154028.4501.exe
