Re: Can't click on or select things on the far right side of screen

I did a bit of digging and found this:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-Battlefront/Origin-Notifications-interfere-with-bottom-right-of-desktop/m-p/5560001

Based on this, it's either Windows' notifications which mess up with Sims, or Origin's notifications.

Any of you had Windows notifications showing after booting Sims? The Origin notification should be probably the one where it mentions that you can use the interface.

Sadly, it did not happen to me to test more, but I can see other two possible solutions in case the previous ones did not help:

Disable Windows notifications, https://www.google.ro/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/turn-off-windows-10s-pushy-edge-notifications/
Reinstall Origin, in case anything in its files is misbehaving and not allowing the game to run properly

I'll think of more though.

PS: Glad to hear the fullscreen windowed trick worked for you, @SimmerMars ❤️ Thanks for sharing! :eahigh_file:

This 100% solved my problem! I read your comment and remembered seeing a notification the same size and in the same part of the screen I was having issues with, everytime I closed the game.
This time when I booted the game, I hit the windows key to minimize the game then cleared the notification. Reentered the game and problem solved.
Thank you so much for your insight.
