Game executables have green pause icons

[IFrike]

Not available in Europe yet (unfortunately). I have it preloaded which is enough to notice the bug, though. Game looks amazing from what I've seen so far, can't wait!

Also having the exact same issue with all Frostbite games I've installed so far.
Everything is up to date software wise and even tried reinstalling the games without any success

I have found out that when I output via HDMI to my TV, the icons appear correctly, but when switching to my monitor that uses DisplayPort I get the green pause icons...how peculiar! 

Changing resolutions around does not seem to have any impact so it would seem to me that it has something to do with HDMI/DP output or something with the monitor/tv itself.

That sounds strange indeed. It so happens that I am also using DisplayPort. Although I am fairly sure that I was using HDMI for my previous monitor and I definitely had the problem back then too.

@MichaelBaconXxX

Press the Windows + R keys and type in "shell:games".

@EA_Archi Any updates on this issue? It seems to be related to HDMI/DisplayPort. I am using DisplayPort and the issue only started appearing after I got a new monitor, which is connected through DP.

I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

If you have any issues with SWBF please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.

For the "green pause icons" it is related to having windows in a different language that is not English and can cause the game icon to be a "green pause icons".
