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 just installed the latest Windows update and when running Fifa 18 I have started getting this issue. 4K TV, picture goes green and distorted. I have turned the Game Bar off, and it still does it. 
    With Game Bar on if I bring up the Game Bar the picture goes back to normal, then as soon as it fades away the picture immediately goes to stretch out weird distorted green mode. 

    Turning off the Game Bar altogether does not work for me... It still distorts. Is anyone else having this issue after the windows update? Is there anything else I need to do to get this thing to work? Or is this a new issue to do with the windows update? 

    I think you have to reinstall windows to rollback on this update....

    hi

    one of the fixes could be unplugging XBOX usb dongle (if you have one)

    the fix that worked for me in the newest windows edition was

    1. press Windows+S, type in 'game bar' (no quotes) and choose 'control how game bar opens and recognizes your game'

    2. set 'record game clips...'  to Off

    3. untick/disable Open Game bar using this button (probably not required to fix the issue but no harm)

    4. untick/disable 'Show Game bar when I play full screen games...'

  • It's 2021 and this issue still persists, though it's not limited to EA games. I just encountered the same problem with Doom Eternal and this solution fixed it. Another awesome Microsoft 'feature'!
