ok so I have found this weird white arrow circle with a red diagonal line going through it. It started happening when I installed bf4 but I have no idea what the hell its all about. Anyone encounter this before? I can't even find a pic of it online and I can't add attachments on here there is no picture of it at the moment. Sorry for that. Any tips would be great thanks because I really am tired of looking at it all the time lol
 
windows 7 and yes its a pc. I think it might have to do with punkbuster but I'm not entirely certain. either way having some weird icon always on top when I play other games is incredibly annoying. I might just format my drive and start fresh lol.
 
so far the only thing that seems to get rid of it is opening up the game in a "windowed" mode rather then just full screen. Maybe that can help generate some idea's as to what the cause could be.
