Re: Madden 20 PC cannot stay fullscreen and is unresponsive on windowed

@milam666 

Thanks for adding that.

Can you try running your monitor in its native mode: 2560 x 1440(p) (59.951Hz) rather than Current Mode: 2560 x 1440 (32 bit) (144Hz)

Do you happen to have Microsoft Edge as your default browser? Maybe try setting Chrome or Firefox as the default.

Additionally, try performing a clean boot before playing and installing any available Windows updates.

Clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

Thanks.

  • @EA_Barry This is now happening not just on Madden 20. I happen to like the Command and Conquer franchise and recently got into it lately. It is literally to the minute, every 5 mins, Origin will appear to "refresh" or "restart" going from full screen to window then maybe back to full screen. Or worse, have to click on the toolbar to go back to fullscreen (on C&C). On Madden it goes from full to window then gets stuck there. Clearly Origin broke something via an update. This happens to multiple PC's in my household. A desktop running I-5 7600K with Geforce 1060 on a 2K Predator and on a Lenovo laptop (for C&C only). I. have tried playing MAdden on the Lenovo while slow it works but exhibits the same problem...both on Windows 10 Pro....

  • This is still a SEVERE problem. Nvidia PC players are getting kicked out of fullscreen every few minutes.
    All notifications and overlays are turned off.
    No other ANYTHING running and all drivers up to date.
    It is IN fullscreen....then, while playing, using a controller (both wired and bluetooth) the game will suddenly LEAVE fullscreen mode. (The window is longer the front window and simply clicking back in the window returns it to fullscreen.)

    There is no rhyme or reason that I have found, ie, nothing else is running on the PC at the time and there is no button combination as it will happen while just paused.

    It is really silly that this has been as issue as far back as 2015 according to Reddit, as there are post of people reporting the same problem with Origin titles for YEARS.

    Yup, having the same issue.  Tried clearing cache multiple times.  Still happening to me too.

    Yup, this has been happening to me ever since the last Origin update. Origin will also occasionally just pop itself over any other open windows I have running when I'm not in a game, if I haven't completely exited from it.

  • I am having the same issue as of today. still no fix?????????

  • Madden 2020 is so glitchy ---  this has been happening to me making the game unplayable. Couple months now... it used to work, but now drops every 3-5 mins.  It flickers now during replays... super disappointed that I cant compete - when its drops fullscren I lose control until I mouse back onto full screen -- the whole app is broke -- origin window drops all the time too.  - THis is my formal complaint, - EA -- Im turning you off and going back to RDR2- its flawless- never a glitch with rockstar games... wont be buying the next madden-- this is BS!
