I believe I've been able to determine the cause of the issue.
When I disconnect all additional monitors from my PC the issue seems to go away. I'm not sure why having these monitors connected make a difference. There is nothing on the additional monitors, and they are powered off at the time of recording the issue.
Disconnecting them from my graphics card does seem to resolve the issue.
The problem has returned again today, even with my additional monitors disconnected. I tried making some changes in the NVidia Control Panel to no avail.
I've checked my CPU overclock in my BIOS and it's current set to "Auto". The only other option is "Manual" and then I must set a clock speed and voltage. I'm not familiar enough with my current CPU to know what to specify so I left the overclock on Auto.
I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Selecting "Defaults" resets the overclocking to "Auto".
After much frustration, I decided to uninstall this game and stop playing. Today I downloaded StarWars Battlefront II (2017) and played that, and experienced the exact same issue. StarWars Battlefront II is the only other game I own through the EA App, and both StarWars Battlefront II and Battlefield 2042 experience the same issue. It seems the issue is exclusive to games installed through the EA app. I tried disabling the In-Game overlay in the EA App to see if that changed things but it did not. I am not sure why games launched through the EA App have this behavior. Is it possible to reinstall Origin? Does Origin exist anymore?
