@FarawayDC Are you using an AV/Antimalware program? Your issue sounds like what happens when someone has Avast or AVG on their computer, could possibly happen with other programs too (though Windows defender so far hasn't had this issue). If you are using one of those programs, you can try adding global exceptions (must be global, not just scanning, or it won't prevent the issue) for the game, steam, Origin and the game save folder in Documents. You may need to redo this when your AV program updates. Or you can temporarily suspend protection to quickly check if it's what's causing the issue. Or you could switch to a program that knows the difference between a game and malware (again, windows defender is fine).
