    Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried that using this link and it still pops up with the forced update EA app window with no way around it, which uninstalled Origin. So I'm back to square one and also have to tell the kids today they can't play any games until EA fixes their app.

    Doesn't work but thanks for the tip.

    Message changes from "Install" the EA app to "Upgrade" the EA app.

    Blank screen, no games launch.

    I'm having the same problem, but I don't have a Mac.  Where do you get Origin for pc?
