    Newest Nvidia driver 531.68 finally has it in "Fixed issues". At least according to their changelog "Shadowplay incorrectly getting engaged within EA Play application [4049414]".

    I've already set it with Nvidia Profile Inspector but perhaps someone may check, who hasn't yet.

How long until this gets fixed? I just had an epic moment in Battlefield, pressed my hotkey to save the instant replay and... nothing. Because the EA Desktop app was being recorded again, instead of the game. This sorta thing has happened to me so many times the past weeks it's ridiculous. Thanks for forcing this app on us upon game launching. No "Maybe later" option, you know, when the biggest bugs have been fixed. No. It just auto-installed itself without any sort of prompt/user input. And now it's ruining paying customer's game experiences. My opinion of EA has never been as low as in the past few weeks...

Just had another situation where I landed a great shot in Battlefield, went to press my hotkey to save the instant replay and... nothing. Because the "EA Desktop" app was being recorded again. So frustrating that it kinda kills the mood to even play Battlefield instead of other games - non-EA games that don't force EA's app and get recorded properly.

Since it seems to be taking a long time to get fixed and I'm f***ing tired of this happening I just went and made a simple script that launches BF4 and then automatically restarts GeForce Experience's instant replay so that I don't have to remember to do it manually after every game launch just because of that new, stupid "EA Desktop" app that's being forced on players. No more missing highlights. F*** this sh**.
