Re: Game won't launch without updating? Pls help

@siirysiir If you don't want the lastetet update, you need to set Origin to offline mode before it knows about the patch. Once it knows about it, you need to update.

Haven't tried it in a while myself but from what others are saying, that's the only way.

    @crinrict wow I feel so dumb right now :D Yep, it works!
    I just tried it by quitting origin and disabling my internet connection but whenever I tried running the game exe it would prompt me to connect with origin.. x_x Very awkward that you can run the game with origin in offline mode but not run the game without origin whatsoever. I really just want to be able to run a game I own without any additional software.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
