Same Problem. Why do I have to go online to tell the app to go offline? That was never the case with Origin and why should it? The game (Sims 3) is installed on my pc and doesn´t need to be played online.
And why is the EA app throwing such a hissy fit if told to go offline. "Can´t reach the servers", yes, because you are OFFLINE. "Major error", no, again, OFFLINE.
I refuse to be forced by EA to go online against my will, anyway, what about people who just can´t? Just dont´play the game we payed for? No.
So the EA app minimized my game two times in a row to whine about not being online. Luckily it didn´t crash, but the Sims 3 suddenly collapsing to the desktop is really not good for my nerves. Make it stop please.
