@BarkTard Thank you so much! Spent the past hour trying to figure this out and nothing else worked!

@BarkTard it worked, thanks so much!  I can't believe this is all that had to be done.... there goes 90 minutes I'll never get back!  No idea why this randomly became a problem for me after literally downloading a game fine 3 weeks ago.

@BarkTard Thanks! It's working on my PC. Other attempts failed and cost me several hours in life.

For everyone that still has this issue, and nothing else has worked. Try the following: 

1) uninstall Origin

2) DL this older version of the Origin Client: https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginSetup_10_5_41_27263.exe

3) Install this version, and be sure to uncheck "Keep origin up to date" on the install

4) Configure as you want

NOTE: I was able to install Origin on a non "c" drive, set the folders to DL to that drive, and did not touch my AUC, nor did I run the app in Administrator mode.

The Old Client simply worked. 

What does this mean??

EA Knows that this is a problem with their latest client, and are either working to fix it, and stealth it out to us, or they are not paying attention. 

Enjoy!
