You can still use Origin client. Some are saying you can re-install it after you've installed the EA app so, then you'd have both.
I guess they're doing this cuz some games need the EA apps background service to work properly.
So, if you want Origin client still, just re-download it.....you can get it from multiple places....or;

Stop origin client loading EA app message;
1. Open C:\ProgramData\Origin\local.xml in notepad
2. Add new key there:
<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true" />
This should go at bottom just above the last line which is "</Settings>."
Save the file and exit. Now launch Origin and that stupid notice will be gone.
Congrats...you can now play your games properly.
I finally gave up and re-installed Origin from the "Full" installer package instead of the "Thin" installer.
There seems to be an issue with the thin installer version. I recommend using the "Full" version Origin
installer after it installed and actually ran updates to the installation and restored full function of Origin
Client and gave me back full access to my game library...
The other tip helped out I am sure. After it updated and "Online Login" was successful I was able to use
Offline Login so I can access and play my single player games like usual.
If I can continue this way. WITHOUT the EA App. I will do so. There is only one new game and 2 DLCs
for an older game that I am interested in and it appears that I can still access the store to buy and down
load them so I may do that soon. At least once the game I am waiting for becomes actually available.
To EA Games Support. Please remove the EA App until you get it fixed so that it works correctly AND so
it migrates ALL customer game libraries over properly. There seem to be far too many posts about those
issues as well as the CAN NOT INSTALL EA APP issues.
And that is why you need to properly test and insure vetting of ANY app or program before you shove it
out the door as "Ready to use".. Clearly the EA App is NO WHERE NEAR READY TO USE!
And that may be considered my personal opinion but the forums show that it is not mine alone.
And considering how long I have been using Origin between 3 computers and the years of time back
and forth with EA Games support. Having my extensive history wiped clean making me a novice rookie
when I tried to install the app was not cool at all. NOT AT ALL! My history goes all the way back to Win
XP and I have had that account for more than a decade with a library of more than 27 games.
Ok Gamers! That's my 2 bytes today! Best to all gamers!
