Origin online login is currently unavailable after Origin update

[NitefireOP]

at this point EA should just ditch origin and put all their games onto steam.

I had the same problem, tried adjusting time, updating drivers, clearing cache, everything. Nothing worked. Finally had a USB flash drive plugged in for work. Removed that and viola! Crazy! Now have to try to fix it on my daughters computer....but she doesn't have any flash drives in so this could be interesting. What a pain.

I had a flash drive plugged in as well. Removed it and login started working again.

@MADrag0n Neither of those services are running on my machine. So they don't seem to be the issue.

@5oundless can u close Origin, run this two services, connect flash drive, run Origin and check the problem?

Is there any fix yet about the hard drive problem?? 

[boogie2277]

$100 of dollars of games I cant play, and they want us to fix their issues ?

EA needs to make this right...maybe a rebellious internet campaign will have them fix it.

Thanks EA for the <removed by CM, please review the forum rules> !!
