Re: ***FIXED*** Connection Problems - Disconnected from EA (1) & Origin could not start up (-5ef7ffff): The LSX server didn't respond within the set timeout.

Me neither on my PC or my work PC (don't tell the IT manager!)

Neither did removing all proxy settings, disabling all additional network connections, or VPNing to servers in Europe which sometimes helped get BF3 going.

Good job I don't take EA at its word these days and haven't pre-ordered!
