    More info is probably redundant. This error is ridiculously common.

    This error can be caused by a number of things as far as I know. There is no one size fits all solution. Here are several things that have worked:

    Make sure your video drivers are up to date.

    Make sure DirectX is up to date.

    and

    a. Grant Administrator + your user account FULL Permission on the AppsData\Local\Temp\ folder
    b. Exclude from your firewalls/antivirus/proxies the following:
    ---b.1. EA.COM = allow any program to access this domain/site without being cached/scanned
    ---b.2. CnC4.exe, EADM.exe, CnC4LauncherUpdate.exe = Exclude these files from being scanned by your antivirus. Allow these programs through your firewall to go anywhere, and to accept any connection
    ---b.3. CnC4 Folder, EA Download manager Folder = Exclude these from your antivirus/antispyware scanners
    c. Reboot, and play the game

    [EADM.exe  and EA Download Manager should probably be replaced with Origin.exe and Origin respectively]

    This might work and might not work. You'll have to try it for yourself.

  • More info from the error message could help a lot.

    Try running the game as administrator. Right click on the games shortcut or exe and run as admin.
