Please can someone tell me how to remove this Origin Overlay *? I have been successful in removing the mic by disabling my microphone via control panel but otherwise I can't remove this other small refresh / recycle looking square that is in the way of my game. I literately can not play my game with this overlay on. I have tried all the settings, seriously, all of them but still it remains.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Coffee_DarkMoods Hi, do you have an image of what you're describing?
As for disabling the overlay, you can click Origin > Application settings within the Origin client. Then choose the Origin In Game tab and disable it via the checkbox. However I suspect that yours is a different issue, hopefully we can get a clearer idea of what's happening.
Thank you.

Same here. I am so tired of having problems with Origins that I don't have with any other game client, ever. It seems to happen randomly at least once a month where a game won't install, won't load, won't work if my keyboard software is on so the backlights work; ei things that should have no impact f' up their client constantly. For $20/m you'd think they would get their * * together.
