Game won't stay open. Screen fades to black. Game minimizes itself.
I've had the game for about a week now and I have been unable to play it. My issue is that when I launch the game, if I click on anything, the screen fades to black for a few seconds and then returns to the game. It is the same thing as if you have a game open, and then you click on the background of your desktop and then the game minimizes itself. However with this, it just comes back. It is as if the computer doesn't recognize that the game is launched, yet I am able to navigate the menus (somewhat). If I try to click on another tab, customize a character, select a match, or click on anything, the screen will disappear. I tried to plug in my XBOX controller to see if it would work. Exact same issue. Press A to select a menu, screen goes away. So I tried to just go through it and maybe it would work in an actual game. No it doesn't. Start playing, see an enemy, click to shoot and screen goes away and I die, then try to re-spawn and screen goes away. Sometimes when I'm in a match the keyboard won't work. People have recommended turning off Origin Overlay. Did that and it still doesn't work. Others recommend turning off Discord Overlay. Did it an it still doesn't work. What is causing this issue, or can I just never play this game?

Thanks for the info.
I tried a game repair on Origin yesterday hoping it would solve my problem, and low and behold, IT DID! I was able to actually get into Instant Action with no problems. I think everything in the game got fixed, so I shouldn't have any more problems with it. I hope.
Thanks.
