You said that this happened after you updated your graphics driver?Maybe try rolling back the driver to an earlier version to see if that helps any.
I've updated it to the 2018 driver even that didn't fix It!! Would I have to download a previous driver??

Yes, you'd have to download the previous driver.
@Evie357 The problem is your computer doesn't meet minimum requirements. The game may play but with operating system updates may affect the way the game plays. This is why I say a below spec computers may play the game but may quit working at any time. The minimum requirement is 128Mb dedicated video memory. Your system has no dedicated video memory. The 112Mb is just a registry figure to make the application happy. The video memory is ALL borrowed from main memory. Parts of main memory can (and does) get paged in and out of virtual memory. A guess is the frame buffer memory is getting swapped in and out of virtual memory (because it is NOT dedicated memory) causing video frame corruption causing the video to flicker (tear). GPUs (graphics processing unit) is actually more complicated then the cpu (central processing unit). Integrated Intel video chips are known to not be gaming friendly
My computer has played the game fine for years so I don't really understand why it would just stop working if you get what I'm saying? EA said my specs are more than capable of playing the game so there must be another issue. I appreciate your advice, I can't afford to just buy another computer with high gaming specs when my game should fine on the computer I have.
I tried that it didn't work ☹️
