I have got some help from EA live chat. Hope this helps you guys,

Completely log out and close down Origin
Hold down the Windows key and R
Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK
Now open the Origin folder.
Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)
Hold down the Windows key and R
Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
Open the Local folder here
Delete the Origin folder listed here
Restart your PC and log back into Origin

See if this helps

@RETA-R3ALKlNG I have the exact issue that everyone’s been having about the exception illegal instruction and I did exactly everything you said to do and nothing worked, I’ve been told that if we don’t have the minimum specs we can’t play the game, and I think that’s absolutely stupid, I’ve played so many games which I didn’t have the minimum specs, I guess the only solution to this error is upgrading your pc, hope this helped everyone out.

Have a great day!
