Origin Launcher Not Working

★★★ Newbie

Last night I bought the sims3 for origin. After purchasing I went and clicked the link to download Origin. After I downloaded and everything was set up I went to log into Origin and install Sims3 To my PC. I clicked Login and got "An Unexpected Error has occured. Please restart Origin and try again."

 

I have opened all the ports needed. I have restarted origin and my computer multiple times. I have changed my password twice but it just seems like nothing I do is working. I have tried using my origin ID and my email to log in and no matter what I do it does not work. Downloaded it twice, reinstalled uninstalled.

 

I am going crazy and need some help!!!!

As you said you downloaded and installed Origin several times, it's unlikely a problem with your installation. (Assuming you did a clean uninstall every time)

This leaves connection issues or your permission settings as the most likely causes. Try running Origin as admin, if you haven’t before.

Also make sure Origin is whitelisted in your firewall settings.

Launcher either won't come up at all. will freeze after appropriate log in information is imput or just upon getting into the auctual laucher just before store and library load, had clean reinstalled several times as well as simple restarts of computer. worked fine yesterday, have logged over a hundred hours between sim city and sims 3

THIS IS THE ANSWER!: For * sakes Origin. I've done everything known to man and finally figured out the problem on my own. If the issue for you is the download file or the Origin application itself, isn't launching upon opening, here's the issue. The program "Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64) Version - 11.0.61030 is in someway corrupt. For me, I did not need to uninstall it. All I did (I'm on windows 10) was go to my settings, Apps, and found that program, click it and click modify then repair. Take note I did uninstall origins before doing this, then reinstalling origins upon completion of the repair (takes 0.2 seconds). Hope this helps, man this was a headache to figure out.
