Community ManagerAh you're too fast for me!
Did you catch the edit I made a few minutes after I replied:
-
Disable apps that come with overlays: Discord, Steam, etc.
-
Disable the Ea app in-game overlay (Settings > Application)
-
Disable Game Mode and Game Bar (Windows Settings > Gaming)
Answer is no for all of these suggestions. Nothing solves my issue.
