Hi Nikki, I don't know if you were talking to me but you can find a YouTube video on how to add an API to the host file on YouTube. Plus a clear copy and paste of the required line. Just do a search with the terms 'origin EA app host file'. It should come up.
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me and the only work around was uninstalling the EA app, reinstalling origin and then if you do a search on YouTube for how to add a line into the origin local.xml file and add that line it means you can get back into Origin without the pop up.
Sorry I haven't put direct links to the YouTube videos. Everyone is trying to preserve these patches which will only be temporary by not directly linking.
