Hi @inferno8625,
If you haven't already, can you try clearing out your Origin cache to see if that helps? I've seen some cases where bad data in the cache can cause similar issues.
You can find more information on how to clear the cache over at the EA Help website. Please let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a try. Thanks!

Hello Kent, clearing the cache files seemed to have resolved the issue for now. Thank you for the response. Although the walk through was in-accurate as far as the correct folder names and locations.

Thanks for following up and letting me know! Which of the folder names were incorrect in the article? I can pass that along as feedback./Kent

SO bad new's. The same problem popped back up just a couple hours later after I restarted Origin. I'd be happy to try something else. Also the tutorial takes you to find %ProgramData%/Electronic Arts/EA Desktop. EA Desktop is not present in that particular folder nor on my computer. AppData folder doesnt have a location called EADesktop and EALancher. Only thing I can find is Origin and deleted the cache files found in there. Any help would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to delete the cache files every time and restart to play. Thank you for your time.

Hey @inferno8625,
Thanks for following up!
I'm curious if there might be something else running on your PC that could be related to the issues that have been happening with the Origin cache. I've seen some cases in the past where security software can block Origin from writing files, which can lead to issues like this. Have you checked to make sure there's an exception for Origin in your security programs?
It might also be worth trying out a Clean Boot to test and see if that makes any difference. If there is something else running that's causing this to happen it may help get around it. You can find more details on how to set up a Clean Boot over at the EA Help website.
Please let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a shot. Thanks!
