Yep, tried all the same things you did with the same results: about 70% of the way through the upgrade I get an error message and that is it. No help and no ideas since I can't get into EA for assistance. I thought Origin was bad, EA is going from the proverbial frying pan into the fire. Terrible app.

Same issue for me. Went it for BF4 yesterday, Origin forced me to install the EA rubbish and from there on the screen started flickering, "EA APP CAN'T CONNECT", the PC slowed, the app wouldn't close and would stay up while being invisible, no game in sight while present in task manager. Absolute garbage.

    Tried everything and still no success.

    Uninstalled all games and Origin.

    Installed EA app still Blank Screen, OMG this is frustrating to say the least.

    Removed EA games and Reinstalled Origin and forced into pop up to install EA app.

    What a CRAZY LOOP !

    HEEEEELP !

      what about the hosts file

      I can't be 100% sure myself but I'm not willing to undo it to see what it does.

        I tried to block the connection 127.0.0.1 api1.origin.com and it worked realy. But only one time. And after closing the game the PopUp appeared again. After i tried to block it again the popup was still there.

        May you found a other solution to disable the PopUp ?
        I tried with the software " proxifier " deactivate connections but without any success. Maybe you can do it better.
