As @speedracer523 on another Thread has also pointed out, the XML File could potentially be changed back if the upgrade push does that.
Below are his comments (in blue), that I think are worth repeating here:
"...this is the missing key to the puzzle
by blocking api1 you do no remove the setting* from the xml, but since I restored mine, it never shows!
I assume if the Api1 is not blocked and ea pushed a 'removal' of the migration, the xml will be updated.
the...
api1.origin.com
is the domain it uses to check for updates, which also happens to be how it fetches data to write to the xml.
*-presumably another setting to show it or disabled set to false and hence, it shows it."
Hope that also helps.
The solution no longer works, when you place the script in the xml file and open Origin it now gets deleted, even if you didn't update Origin. You're truly forced to install EA App, ughh. Has EA App improved at all, can anyone confirm if the games are at least playable? I've been refusing to install it since all I've seen is that no one can play their games at all.
