UPDATED GUIDE FOR RETURNING TO ORIGIN
1) Uninstall your Origin, because the new patch (10.5.122) from EA broke everything again
2) Download the Origin Offline Installer (
https://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe)
3) Install, be sure to remove the checkboxes from the paragraphs about "auto update"
4) After installation DO NOT log in to your account. Go to "C:\ProgramData\Origin" (attention, the folder "ProgramData" will be hidden by default), find there and open in Notepad (or any other text editor) file "local.xml", the last line there will be </Settings>, BETWEEN this line add this line
(you will most likely need to add an empty line by pressing Enter first)
<Setting key="MigrationDisabled" type="1" value="true"/>
5) Delete the three files called "OriginThinSetupInternal.exe" which are located at THREE LOCATIONS
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
C:\ProgramData\Origin
C:\ProgramData\Origin\SelfUpdate\Staged
6) Log in to your Origin account, now everything should work
There may be a little update notification on top of Origin window, just don't click on it (you can close it by clicking on the cross)
