Screw it. Trying to contact them.
Update: Waited an hour, got someone who didn't respond for another 30 minutes. I was then transferred to a helpful guy who talked me through all the troubleshooting steps I had just done (and said I had done) for about half an hour. I then mentioned that someone had said something about "entitlements" being needed for Origin to properly recognize ssleay32.dll to which he responded that he had looked through the entitlements and none applied. I was then told to restart my computer with a fresh boot without other processes and was sent an email for further troubleshooting steps involving UAC (which I had done) and CHKDSK (which didn't change anything) and finally a reinstall (which I had done). All in all, I'm back where I started. Thanks EA, you're now 0 for 4 for troubleshooting games over chat (four f*****g games!). Uninstalling origin.
You know, Im sitting through the exact same thing. I waited an hour to be walked through the same steps I tried already. This is absurd.
