4K Fullscreen 60hz (green screen issue) fix please

Hey guys I was playing SWBF2 yesterday and it was completely awesome.

Today I woke up and tried to play it but the screen goes green.

I have checked all my pc for faults, i have also checked on a different 4k tv screen and its the same issue.

when choosing 4k resolution 60hz or 59 or 50 .... it simply changes the screen green and this also happens in borderless.

I have wrecked my brain wondering have i done something wrong here or has my gtx 1080 ti galax hof card started to go faulty, but the answer is no, i have stress tested my whole pc and took it to pieces to exchange parts thinking something was up, i have benchmarked it, i have tested the cpu , memory , card, you name it ive done it.... i even put a new hard drive in.

my pc is playing all other games in 4k no problems at all so the question is.... what has gone wrong ???

why was my pc playing SWBF2 perfectly at 60fps with vsync on and using directx 11 at a 4k resolution with resolution scale at 100% ... only hours ago ??? and now ..... it useless?

i have also found that somebody else has the same issue so i now know its not just me and my setup .... it has to be a problem with swbf2 and some kind of bug ... update ..or patch ???

please can anybody help

    I've just found a fix for it! Disable the Game Bar in the Windows 10 gaming settings.

    I'm having the exact same issue. I have a GTX 1070 and use a 4K TV. When the game first came out I had no issues, then one week later I had this green and purple screen issue when I play in fullscreen or borderless 4K at 60hz. The problem goes away if I lower the resolution or refresh rate. I've tried multiple HDMI cables and another 4K TV, same problem.

    I have had this issue with other games recently too, though they have fixed themselves somehow. As of now, the only game I can't run in 4K at 60hz is SWBF2. Could it be a recent driver or windows update? And perhaps specifically with setups that use a TV as a monitor? From my googling around, TVs seem to be troublesome when used as a monitor.

    You could be correct about TV however if that is the case then star wars would never have been OK at the start. I was playing fine with the trial and bought the game and played the game fine until the weekend and then..... Green business started.

    Absolute genius !!! It did not work at first but I had to turn EVERYTHING OFF, the mouse cursor and everything not just the on/off tab. Its working at the moment, I'm only in the menu screen so I'm yet to play a game but I can see now .... This must be a fix. I Thank you very much for letting me and everybody else know how you did it. Never in a million years would I have thought to do such a thing as turn off the gamebar. You deserve recognition for this, you certainly have my vote, could this also be the problem for many other issues but people have not realised yet??? You may have just fixed swbf2 for millions of people. Credit to you buddy !! Kind regards phill

    I’m so glad I could help! But I can’t take credit for this since I found the solution in a comment on the Steam forums from four months ago. I made sure to thank the commenter for their post though. 🙂

    It looks like this has been an issue across many games since this Game Mode was introduced with the Windows Creator update half a year ago. Also, it seems this Game Bar thing can turn itself back on after a Windows update, so be aware the issue might come back.

    Well without you sharing your find then I personally would not be able to play the game I paid for.
    I've not experienced it on any of my other games as yet but now if I ever get a green screen then I have a good idea what it could be.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Thank you for helping me play my game.
    Thank YOU !!
