Origin will not download Battlefield DLC's Error: Certificates do not match! Dev: Cert check failed! Check Origin Build.

As the title says, Origin will not download my DLC's I just bought. It keeps throwing the "Dev: Cert check failed!" even if I keep pressing OK button. I tried to google this but I didn't get anything useful information from anywhere. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it, please let me know. I can't be arsed to start yelling at EA.

    I contacted the support and they told me to stop all processes until I had Windows related stuff left, then I had to remove all temp files in Windows folder and from another place (Windows Button + R --> type in %temp% and hit enter and delete all of the files)

    This worked for me so if you have the same problem you might want to try that.

    I even stopped bitdefender but nothing works.

    I think I'm going to call ea tomorrow.

    Edit: I can't even install any other origin game.

    Please go to Origin --> Application Settings and untick the box in front of "Automatically start Origin when I log on to Windows" like this:

    After that restart your PC and then before starting Origin, right click the Origin icon and choose "Run as administrator". This should ensure that Origin has all required permissions to run.

    Our Origin team is already looking into this. Thanks for bringing it up.

    Hi all,

    Mike from Origin Live Operations here. This is an error message from the OriginClientService when it’s validating that both it and the Origin client are signed with the same certificate. In order to help us figure out why this error is occurring, here is some of the info we're looking for:

    Have you made any changes to the Origin client recently such as switching between Pre-release/release versions or did you recently install Origin from a disc?

    What version numbers are the following files in your directory (right click on the file, select Properties, click Details tab):

    Origin.exe - Product Version = ?
    OriginClient.dll -Product Version = ?
    OriginClientService.exe.- Product version = ?

    OriginClientService must run elevated. Are you running security applications that could prevent communication between an elevated and non elevated application?

    Are you running an Administrator Windows account or a user leve account with special permissions?
    Anything special about what version of Windows you are running? 32 vs 64 bit. service pack level, etc.?

    Thanks for your assistance!
