Ok, i could "isolate" the issue ... It seems that it´s related to Windows 8.1 and upper and nVidia based notebooks with optimus.
I´ve re-formated my notebook and tryied all available flavors of Windows so far ... it worked with windows 7.0 and 8.0 ; it doesn´t work under windows 8.1 and 10 tech preview.
For now i´m staying with Windows 7, i really enjoyed windows 10, but as the game i most play now is DAI, and to use the full power of the GTX870m it must be on full screen ... Windows 7 stays, i´ll keep track of this forum and if the final solution is presented by nVidia or EA , i´ll update again to W10.

so running it on windows 7 solves the issue?

Yeahp ... I´ve read a dozen of foruns , and , especulating, it seems to be related with the scaling method Windows 8.1 and upper uses .
@EA, @Bioware, @nVidia, please, at least give a heads up on this issue.
The problem shall never be corrected by Electronic Arts or Nvidia for one simple reason: the cause is in the Intel Driver.
I had a doubt that the reason for the full screen issue could be in the bugged scaler of the Iris Graphics driver and yesterday I had the final confirmation when i installed Windows 10 Technical Preview.
After the very first installation of the beta version of Windows there was a moment in which both graphic cards drivers were not installed.
I started installing the Nvidia Driver maintaining the Windows Base Driver for the intel card.
I run the game and it was working in full screen, although with poor performance.
As soon as I updated the driver from the generic one to the intel Iris, the issue appeared.
So, we all understood that in Optimus laptops the scaling of the image is not managed by Nvidia card, that is the reason for which no option of override is available in the Nvidia Control panel.
But the scaler of the Intel driver is buggy. Bugs on Intel scaling are reported since 2012 and were never completely resolved.
We have to start pestering Intel if we want a solution on this problem.
I have opened the thread https://communities.intel.com/message/291754 in Intel community.
Please support it
Dears,
an Intel guy appeared in the above mentioned thread to have a look into it.
I kindly invite all who has an Optimus laptop with Windows 8 or above to participate in the discussion and provide the system information required.
Thank you
