Trying to download update and Origin shuts down every time

[JazzMichelle]

I was attempting to play Sims 4 but whenever I try to let it update, Origin crashes.

I was able to bypass this by opening Origin directly, not clicking on the game icon on my desktop. Waited for the update to finish and was then able to play the game.

@JazzMichelle This is happening to me aswell! And before I shut my game I was struggling to enter into lots, everytime it would kick me back out to the world view? Very annoying

my game was working absolutely fine this morning and I come to play on it now and it says it needs updating yet every time I go to update it is fails and stops, I restarted my Mac twice and even deleted origin and re-downloaded it and it still won't update

Same problem with my PC and Windows 10.

It's really sad how EA bullies us with this crap. How can one get refund because the game just doesn't work?

I tried this, but clicking directly on the origin icon did nothing, not even open origin to attempt to update or anything.

This was also happening until I clicked on the Origin logo (like someone else suggested) and updated the game that way instead of clicking directly on the S4 icon.
