@beerxced79000 I've edited my update post now to make sure people know it won't work for Origin installs. I also won't be marking this thread as solved until we know it's solved for everyone. Thank you again for the information

Very good!
But the best course of action would be to accept the post as solution, so it would be visible on the first page.
This will not interfere with the EA side of things, and it will make it far more easier for other people with the same problem to find the solution.
A direct link to @beerxced79000 post in the TS3 section would be good as well. 
@Jobobai
It can work for games to install under Origin but that passes their activation online with securom PA and not with Origin!
Because there are both possibilities under Origin
The only way to know if this is securom PA behind all this is to check the presence of the file paul.dll in the installation of the game But for that it will be necessary to be helped each user on a case by case for that he finds the file or is installing his game.
the file paul.dll and winui.dll that works with are still in the same folder as that of the game launcher (EXE file with the game icon)! either in the main folder at the root or in a subfolder named as "bin" or "binaries"
example :
NFS shift / mirror's edge / medal of honor 2010
if the server error is displayed in an identical window, it is necessarily securom and not Origin
the games that make their activation online with Origin, have a manager named "core" and "activation" file with an EA icon
thank you for this port information is very interesting !
the user must also check on his internet connection that the Ipv4 service works because it is used for proxy "nov **** ion" from EA and activation by securom and for origin and proxy EA it seems to me that everything must be in IPv6
mirror's edge catalyst 2016= Origin activation
Mirror's edge "first" 2007 = securom and paul.dll
current or recent games use activation with origin, and those of the previous generation can still use securom
I am away from home, so I have only a few games on my laptop, but Mirror's edge (2007) is one of them.
So I was referring to the first Mirror's edge. Just to make that clear.
The digital download version of Mirror's edge (2007) is not using the old way of authentication.
I think the differences is in the way you install the game. If you install it with a disk, it will install the old files for the authorization prozes.
The digital download version installs the new files.
Edit: the above is only true for the Origin Access version of the game!
@holger1405 Ok, if it'll be more helpful, I'll mark the thread as solved. My initial update post looks like a bit of a mess for someone new coming into the situation, so I'll try to write up a cleaner explanation with direct links to the posts, then can mark that as the solution. (Might take me a while to do. Not feeling very well today, so taking it slow and the post might need some corrections/editing, but I'll do my best )
Grabbing another coffee, then I'll get to collecting this information together 
@beerxced79000 Ahh, thanks for the clarification and the screenshots I don't have Origin so I can't check these things myself. This is going to help a lot with the post I'm about to write to try help newcomers to this thread.
