    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.

Another workaround for this is to turn on "Desktop Capture", under "Privacy Control" in the GeForce overlay settings.

    Disabling hardware acceleration would probably do the trick, so tell me how to do it.
    I didn't have this problem with Origin, but surprise surprise, the EA App, onto which I DID NOT want to downgrade, but were forced to, has it.

      I want Shadowplay to record Battlefield 4/1/V/2042. Or whatever I'm playing, and NOT the EA App window.

      Disabling hardware accel would probably solve this, but of course you made electron commands not work. (--disable-gpu --force-cpu-draw)

      I'm so fed up with this * app you're shoving down our throats that I made a video about it.

      If you won't let people stay on Origin, at least START WORKING ON FIXING THE EA APP.

        i agree with you and have the same problem, you can work around this by deactivating and activating shadowplay over a hotkey when you are inside the game(at least on my system) but that kinda misses the point of shadowplay... I always forget it on apex and miss a lot of good clips just because this programm has been made so incompetently, just like i cant set ANY of my games to english because the run commans also all dont work, unsuprisingly...

        Seriously, why do i feel like this is the alpha of the alpha.
        Another problem i have with this poorly made excuse of a program is, that it doesnt close when you close it, it only minimizes, and when i right click it in the info tab in the task bar, the close option comes out BEHIND the info window, making it even harder to close, so i have to bring up task manager every single time
