Personally my game hasn't been affected. I am thinking if it is more of a graphical glitch that came from the windows update as it doesn't happen to everyone. It might be how the graphics card, game and windows update are all working together maybe?
Often the more older a game gets, the more ruined it can be by Windows updates.. for example The Sims 1 is very hard to run now with a lot of graphics glitches! I do hope Windows is able to fix the glitch but they might not be, as maybe the portion of the update that is causing this is required now etc. Definitely try EA support! I know the game is old but they are making a MAC version and the Gurus care about the games a lot, I am sure if you message one linking them the thread they will reply!
