Bro play some other games, EA does not really care about 2 or 3 or who knows how many people's ability to play their games, since it's "just a couple of a hundred dollars".
I dont care at all if this issue is gonna be solved or not, since I gave up on EA after NFS 2015. How can a game be that bad? Does anyone remember NFSU2? I spent ages on that game. What are those exhausts that are higher than the car itself?!?! What are those handlings?!?! The "Snap to Drift" function, the "Faster Drifting than turning"?!?!

I posted this issue, so others may have a chance to spend their stupid money on EA.
EA please fix.

@Gr3gYx101 That's fair enough mate but I certainly do care about EA having wasted my money. Why is this Origin service still such a joke after like 7 years? It's genuinely absurd.

Yea I feel lucky since I did not spend any money on Origin, but I feel sorry for you, and this is the main reason I want EA to solve this problem since people who got milked for their money can not enjoy what they paid for.

Apologies for the late response. Having looked at the posted Dxdiags here I think the following is likely to help:

 

  • Make sure you are using a Windows account that has Administrative privileges and that you are running Origin as an Admin.: LINK

Feels like I am talking to a wall or either I feel like I am being handled as a peasant who never seen computers, and lives on a farm who found out how to use the interwebs.
But seriously I specified ALL the ways I tried to fix the issue, and it is one of them. Even though I tried what you posted once more, it still did not solve the problem and I suggest you to remake this client because this is a huge issue, and just making a bad light on the company itself.

I've already tried this before and it didn't work again. Is there no way to download directly from the Origin site to bypass the terrible client?

It is possible your antivirus or other security software is interfering with this. First, temporarily disable your antivirus/malware software and retry. If the issue is then resolved you can add Origin to the list of allowed programs in your antivirus programs 'white list'.
