+### Q: Why is my game running so bad?
+
+A: This usually lies behind your computer's specs not being high enough in order to run the game, but can also be affected by EA App's overlay. You can disable this by going to and following the [disable EA overlay section](installing-northstar/troubleshooting.md#ea-overlay).

+## Disable EA App overlay <a href="#ea-overlay" id="ea-overlay"></a>

+The purpose of disabling the EA App overlay is to increase performance, as it can be very taxing even on high end hardware. You can disable it by clicking on your profile in the top right of the EA App, clicking on the drop down arrow, going to settings, going to `Application`, then scrolling down and disabling the EA App overlay.
