Thank you for the reports everyone, this appears to be resolved now.
If anyone starts encountering this or a similar issue in the future, please create a new thread.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience caused,
Just got off the help desk with a "Game Advisor" for EA. they said to do the following:
1. Uninstall the game
2. open a cmd prompt as an admin and type: sfc /scannow
3. wait for the scan to complete and reinstall with origin
4. launch game and enjoy the show (ok, so I added this part)
Anyway, I'm NOT a techy and I'm still in the process of reinstalling, so I have no idea if it will work (or do anything useful at all really), but its worth a shot.
My next step will be a refund, which I was told I have 9 days from purchase to secure. I suggest everyone with this issue do the same. Refund I mean. If they cant release a properly functioning product, then spend your money elsewhere. After all, Fallout 4 will be out soon right? :P
Good Luck
have the exact same issue.
will be going the refund route soon enough, ridiculous...
is the very first game i have bought on origin, looking like the last too.
