    I'd completely forgotten about this thread... the issues came back for me after a little while.

    Turned out it was due to RAM compatibility with my board. I was running the XMP profile so I downclocked it a bit ( from 3866 to 3600 ) and I've not had any problems since

Have you try to disable your 3rd party anti-virus (such as Malwarebytes). Because after I disable it the game work perfectly fine.

Hey,

I have added all subfolders of C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin and \Origin Games to the exclusion list for my AV.

Still having issues. I'm working with nvidia support too so I'll update here when I get an outcome

    Which AV are you using?  Knowing that would be helpful.

        I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are adding the acceptions to the Avast Scanner, which only skips them over when scanning for viruses. 

        I'm not very familiar with Avast, but you should be adding the acceptions to the firewall side of things.  

        https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Antivirus-Firewall-Application-Rules

        You should be adding the executable to the acception list, which should then resolve the issue. It's the firewall that is messing you up, and not the files themselves. 

        If you don't want to take any risks, you can easily test it but turning avast completely off and play a round or two in game. If the issue doesn't happen, it's definitely the firewall causing the issue.
