I have been forced to update Origin to this new package, which I can only describe as complete garbage.
If this was a piece of hardware or software foisted onto me, I would at the very least wish to have some recourse to fixing the problems. Instead people are forced to vent about this on forums such as this.
"quote : For over 10 years we’ve welcomed millions of players into our Origin platform, we’ve listened to your feedback and acknowledge the limitations of this platform in a quickly evolving entertainment landscape."
What complete nonsense, EA have clearly not listened and if they had, they would have a completely working client. Instead they have something that sort of works.
My issues stem from the fact that I could always launch games from a shortcut on my desktop, now I can't.
This along with the fact that you want to play off line games already installed and it flatly refuses to launch the games.
Other problems are that despite uninstalling reinstalling the damned App carries on telling me I have no space for game saves on line and asks do I want to use the local content. Reply yes and it then says I need admin rights to play the game.
This happens every time I start the game up, annoying to say the least.
Origin on the other hand worked flawlessly with no problems, so how can EA programmers screw up so badly, when producing a client that has had a tried and tested system working for years, to base their new client upon.
