    I have figured it out! 

    Something you said made me think about looking into specifically the display issue and I found this link:

    The person mentioning the "-w" was 100% right. Although, I did prior switch to windowed mode, the game had already opened in fullscreen mode and therefore rendered the option of window mode useless concerning fixing the problem. Once I made the game open in window mode, the problem was fixed and now edge smoothing is on.

    Kind Regards

Great, nice simple fix! You should be able to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode in the in-game graphics options without having to enter the command in Origin though, or you can do this in the Options.ini file by changing the value of the fullscreen setting. Thanks for posting what worked for you, always helpful for others 🙂
