    Thanks for the update. Can you try restarting your machine with a Clean Boot and see if that helps? Perhaps there's an interfering 3rd party program. 

    Terrakat, did you have any mods installed? if so remove these. Otherwise please try running a repair. Right-click the game panel to get this option.

I think this thread has a good Google ranking, so some people may end up straight in this thread and miss the stickies. That would explain why a new comment was posted in a thread that's now a couple of months old.

I ditched AVG years ago because it took focus away from my Team Fortress 2 window. Source games go nuts when that happens. 2D assets missing or poorly displayed, staircases appearing on the control point, ... It was funny, but also annoying, so I switched to Avast.

I think we can exchange views on AV software and be both topical and of aid to other members.  In 35 years of game playing, and 25 years or so of participation on Wide Area networks (started before the 'net went graphical), I've had poor luck with a majority of heavily advertised / promoted AVs, such as MacAfee, Norton, you name it. 

I tried AVG several years ago, and it was problematic in many ways from the get-go, while Avast has always worked very well for me, as well. 

Once again, while this symptom has one general trigger, AVG, anyone attempting skate below the game's system requirements isn't going to suddenly have support by making this one change.

    I had this problem it seem the game clashed with agv so you may wish to follow that line of thought

    Hi @old-one-charlie,

    Thanks for taking the time to confirm it was AVG. Make sure to add Origin and DAI to the list of exceptions after every update of Origin.
