    @Grimjarn I had this exact same problem before. Did you in the past have a texture mod installed? Here's what was wrong in my case:

    I had previously installed a high res texture mod (ALOT) which applied config tweaks. After uninstalling the game and then installing it again at some later date, the problem started occurring. That's because deinstallation removes all game files, including modded texture, but all config files in the Documents folder are untouched. You probably have regular old textures installed but your config file has LOD settings meant for a high res texture mod.

    The solution is to remove your config file so the game is forced to create a new one.

    I think the file you have to delete is GamerSettings.ini located in Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config

I have solved the issue with textures in Mass effect but my Star wars battlefront 2 problem is stil intact. The video stil shows the problem, is there anyone who knows what is wrong?

    Try to repair the game.

    (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)

    (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
    (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

      Repairing has fixed the issue in the video however, i have more issues. The first time i had this issue, the mouse would sometimes disappear leaving me with no way to click anywhere.That is what i am having now. Since i have two screens i can move the mouse towards the other screen and click in it. That would tap me out and i would be able to tap in again and the issue with the disappearing would be fixed. Well, it would reappear after i clicked into one of the game modes. And being able to move the mouse outside the border of the game, shouldnt be possible in fullscreen mode?

      Other times the mousepointer changes looks. It starts looking as if the mousepointer is hovering over text in a textprogram or something, the way it looks like when you mark text. I am also having that issue now.
      So long story short, whatever is wrong result in several problems.

        Do you have the mouse-trail enabled? If so disable it.

        Do you have an input device other than keyboard and mouse connected? If so disconnect it > restart the PC > Test.

        If that don't helps preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.
