How do I bypass the EA App and access Origin to play games.

Have you completely uninstalled the current version of Origin ?
Are you sure you have installed the full 10.5.119 version? (KB & MD5 checked)
Did you follow all the procedure described by "Ha_DHuWe" ?
Have you also tried to do it with the PC disconnected from the network, as suggested by "Mardoin69" ? (it worked for me connected too, but it costs nothing to try).
>>> Try doing everything right again, but first make sure you're installing from a file that is SURELY the complete and original 10.5.119.
