@RedRedGroovey OH MY GOD THANK YOU!
This worked for me, after hours and hours of trying and googling.
Thanks so much, you're a star 🙂
wait what? didnt it ask for an activation or saying you can't install in offline mode?
I had the same problem , but with DA: Origins Ultimate Edition. I installed from the disc, and all went ok. When i installed the origin client, it automatically started downloading the game. With all concluded, i tried to launch the game, but a message telling me "insert the game disc" stop me. With the correct disk in drive, i tried via origin client, tried via original shortcut, but same message all the time.
I am writing this , because when i uninstalled the game, uninstalled origin client, and installed the game again from disk, all is working now. Origin client never more.
