Re: ¨Game already running¨when it's not

@SteqhenKinG How to install the old Origin?

Another solution that worked for me was to create a new admin user on Windows.

  • Just google download Origin EA you will get some links use the one for windows, might not be the first link.

    Could you please send the link for the one you used? There's a lot of links and I want to make sure I'm not unlucky enough to be the one who chooses the virus.

  • So, I've tried everything that's been said, but none of it worked. It's likely that it's because I have it through xbox gamepass rather than steam, but it's still really annoying. Is there any way to find a product code on gamepass?

    I just wanted to say that I was having this problem and here is how I fixed it

    first i did the help>app recovery> clear cache

    restarted computer

    then I ran the EA App as Administrator

    game worked fine after that.

    Ya all should try my method, that is it worked for me, nothing to do with admin or clearing the cache, or any of the other junk that has been said.

    All I did was re-download the original Origin, install and log in, then when it opened with the update to EA app, I updated, it auto closed origin and opened the EA App, after that i clicked on Dragon Age: Inquisition and it loaded, merrily playing away and have been for the last couple of hours.

  • I dont normally reply to threads since im too lazy to sign in but I think you deserve a recognition for ending this nightmare, i did what you said and it finally worked

  • Thank you Kugrox.

    This solution worked for me when none of the others would. I feel like I just got lucky, though. EA... fix this problem for good. We pay good money for these games.

  • this is quite literally the ONLY thing that worked for me. thank u, srsly

  • Yes, just delete the game, then the ea app, search for all folders with EA or Origin and delete them all, Install the ea app again and then the game Unblcokk all ad block on your browser

  • Yesteray my game was running perfectly ... today i wanna play but at the first time ever i have this error ... 
    Re-installed with EA APP and the game, Re-installed old Origin ... synchro my date, starting as admin but nothing works
