    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.

@Don_Sanchez Hey so I found a workaround that worked for me. It will require you to download NVIDIA Profile Inspector. Link from github: https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

Step 1: Download the latest version and unpack
Step 2: Close EA Launcher from the system tray (right click -> Exit)
Step 3: Navigate to the EA Launcher installation folder
Step 4: Find EADesktop.exe
Step 5: Drag & drop that .exe into the Nvidia profile inspector
Step 6: Press CTRL + F to search and type 0x809 (only one entry should show up)
Step 7: From the dropdown, choose 0x10000000 (Autodesk, etc...)
Step 8: APPLY CHANGES

In case the app updates or you reinstall it, you might have to perform these steps again.

NOTE: This works for any application that is taking over shadowplay that you want to fix.

Found the fix in this thread:Nvidia Freestyle/Overlay - Any way to disable for certain applications? : nvidia (reddit.com)
