Hi there,
I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong but I cannot get the fix to work at step 1!
Here's what I did:
==============
Step 1: Logged in to Origin on my PC. No problem
Step 2: Loaded http://dragonage.com in Google Chrome and logged into my Origin account, again no problem.
Step 3: Opened up the JavaScript console (on the dragonage.com tab, I did check!) by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + J. Console screen opens in a side tab.
Step 4: In the console, I typed the command as instructed: window.EA.sso.userId
...and immediately received the message: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'userId' of undefined(…)"
==========
I thought it might be that I was using Chrome, so I tried again with Firefox:
This time I got the message: "TypeError: window.EA.sso is undefined"
===========
So I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but the listed method isn't working for me when it seemed to for so many others. Please help!
I just looked into it. It seems EA updated the Origin API so that user login information is no longer stored at window.EA.sso. (Good job Origin! You're website is now probably more secure!) I don't have the time to come up with a workaround, but it's still definitely possible to hack around this.
You'd just have to get your access token from the user login response. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then you can probably ask a tech savvy friend to look into it for you. 🙂 I'm sorry the EA/Bioware team hasn't gotten around to this yet. If you remind me around the holidays I can work together another fix. For the time being, I'm working full time and going to school for my Master's full time, so I've little time to spare for side investigations.
