Overlay Programs and "Origin in Game"
Overlay programs like RiviaTuner(usually comes with Afterburner), Fraps, Teamspeak Overlay and others do not work with Origin In Game usually.
RiviaTuner can be tweaked in the settings "Application Detection Level", some have found this allows the game to work normally with both.
Origin in Game is used for a few things in PvZ:GW: Joining Friends (Shift+F1), Reporting, and Coin Store
It can be disabled from Origin but it is not recommend to do so in PvZ.
