Many have the same problem, and are totally locked out as a result.
EA did this some weeks ago, but pulled the EA App upgrade after so many complaints.
They started to push it again a few days ago, and it's as bad as last time.
I regret that I do not know a workaround.
Last time I did nothing, left things as they were, and avoided wasting time trying to fix something that wasn't broken.
Sure enough, when EA pulled the EA App forced upgrade pop up from the Origin Login, everything worked fine again.
No matter what I did, I could not get the EA App to install from the pop up, or via a Download, it fell over every time and failed to install.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hopefully someone will find a workaround, or EA will fix their broken EA App thing.
Welcome to the club, same here it has been almost a week of troubleshooting without success and total ignorance from EA !
Oh its beyond ignorance. At this point it's malice. They spent money on their broken toy and now have to convince themselves the investment was worth it
