    OK the generic Intel driver does not work and since Acer have not updated their driver and probably never will you can't get any further there.

    Try setting Origin in offline mode and make sure that the computer is not connected to the internet (turn off WiFi). Start the game and see if that makes a difference,

    Make sure that Graphics is set to low and that laptop mode is enabled in Game Options.

@jpkarlsen I've tried it just now with my computer in airplane mode and it didn't make a difference. It took 15 minutes to get to the main menu, became unresponsive once, and the visual lag was back.
I already had set my graphics to low when this first started happening to see if that would change things and it hasn't helped. I had it in laptop mode as well and I don't think it made a difference, in fact it may have made it slower. I want to try it again while it's not set in laptop mode, but I won't be able to do it until later.
