This problem seems to happen without any rhyme or reason -- it'll just happen sporadically. It will usually resolve itself by exiting and re-entering build mode, and sometimes a game repair helps, but it never solves the problem, just makes it go away.
Hello.
This is still happening to me after the lastest update (1.55.108.1020) in a vanilla game, no cheats on.
Like I said before it's super random, sometimes it happens after just starting the game and other times it can happen after going into BB after a couple times, so that's maybe why it could be hard to duplicate the problem.
It solves by exiting BB and going back (sometimes it take two times) or exit the game and deleting the localthumbcache. (works for me)
At least now I know I'm not the only one.
EA Staff (Retired)We've seen this issue too, here's the steps I found to get it to happen consistently.
1. Open the cheat console (Ctrl+Shift+C) in Live mode.
2. Go to Build/Buy, start typing in the search bar. Voila.
Exiting Build/Buy should fix the issue. Thanks for all the reports!
