    Ok, I have resolved the issue, I want to thank Sjonny30 for his assistance, I ended up doing a full uninstall the hard way of Origin client. This seemes to have resolved the issue.

@AsthmaticPenguin the game is a bit broken in windowed mode. For me the window is always infront of others unless you boot the game in that mode. Even on focus loss the game continues windowed for some reason. You might be able to run fullscreen only. And/Or try disabling fullscreen optimization.

@Sjonny30 I will attempt to try this, I am running it as full screen, I will play around with border-less windowed as well as windowed mode and see which if any of these work, will report back my findings.

    Ok after working my way back into it, the problem still persists be it in full screen, windowed, or windowed with border-less. The added benefit of moving to windowed screens is a sever drop in frame rate from a comfortable 65 FPS to nearly 15 to 20 FPS.
