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

This is why I so dislike any Software that requires an online login just to run paid-for content.

Eventually, the Company will neglect to keep the Servers going, and the Software will become unusable.

Although in this EA App case, the Company concerned has simply made an epic mess of a forced upgrade, and has contrived to disable all access to paid-for Content in the process.

Is there nobody left running the Company who has any authority to supervise what the children in the IT Department get up to? Or to ensure they actually test their creations before unleashing them on unsuspecting Customers?

Come on EA, crack on and resolve the problem you have created.

At the very least, disable the forced EA App upgrade in the Origin login, so people can carry on with what works in the interim.

Tick, tock, the clock is ticking, and people are getting very annoyed at the total lack of action, or even of an acknowledgement that there is a problem.

@MayPanDayI couldn't agree more. I've had hit and miss (mainly miss) luck with the POS app.  EA should be ashamed of themselves.  I have tried multiple of the so-called fixes, with the exception of going into my Admin and change my local setting. Not going to risk my PC and other software.

EA we have paid a lot of for our games. Could you at the very least STOP requiring us to login or even access the internet to play? The EA APP is so buggy that it thinks that I am not online, but here I am typing this while clicking the "retry" for the 34th time on the freaked up POS App. Hell, I'll be happy going back to Origin if a login is necessary!

Some better news, it looks like they have removed the forced EA App upgrade from the Origin login screen.

I tried it again this morning, and the Origin log in worked again, as before, without any sign of the annoying EA App upgrade splash notice (that one could not close).

Hopefully this will allow people to re-gain access to paid-for Content, until EA fix the EA App upgrade issues.

Fingers crossed anyway.

Thanks for that heads-up! 🙂

I downloaded Origin and launched it successfully! Now I'm verifying games and will give it a try. 🙂

How about you not require an app nor a seperate launcher to play games? Shocking thought I know.

Any option at all to rollback to the Origin client? I launch all my games via desktop shortcut and as a result I don't want your new client popping up every time I try to launch something. No options for this in any settings I am aware of either. When I want to play something I want to launch the game and get into it immediately. I don't want to click down your application every single time. I just want to play Battlefield. For being "more lightweight" it sure is far more noticeable than I want it to be.

Absolute trash, this EA app is. 
Functions are broken as stated above PLUS, what hasn't been mentioned is that for some god forsaken reason, it shows itself to shadowplay as a game, so each time I launch it, and subsequently launch one of my games on there (duh) ingame recording is stuck to EA app.
So unless I disable shadowplay background recording and re-enable it each time I launch Battlefield 2042 for example, I'm gonna have a static 20 min recording of the GOD AWFUL FORCED ON ME EA APP instead of the lest 20 minutes of gameplay.
No, I'm not going to accept having to manually do this each time I launch a game.
And no, I'm not going to set shadowplay to record the whole desktop to workaround this unacceptable fault of EA.
When shadowplay is set to record the desktop, it has a lot more instances of corrupted recordings and it's also a waste of storage space, when I save the last 5 mins of gameplay after launching a game... and I get 15mins of desktop/web browsing in the beginning of the file + 5mins of gameplay. (yeah, I have the replay buffer set to 20mins)
Additionally, if I happen to play CS:GO for example (which I play at a lower res) before playing BF and I have desktop recording on, the chances of the mp4 file being corrupted in some way, skyrocket. This is why one should leave desktop recording for the replay buffer of shadowplay OFF, which doesn't present any problems... except if you're using the EA APP, and of course. no matter how hard I try, I cannot revert back to Origin now.
I typed this all out, because I suspect EA reps would have the nerve to suggest a workaround like this INSTEAD OF FIXING THEIR ABHORRABLE LAUNCHER.

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE IS FORCED ON USERS!!!!!!

I tried every trick, leaving the EA app installed while reinstalling origin has worked for the past month after EA first forced their REPRESENTATION AS A COMPANY on me, but today the FORCED UPDATE TO EA APP banner has popped up again.
Already updated the trash EA APP to its latest version, in hopes that if I do that, Origin will let me use itself... but alas, nope.
Fully updated EA APP, but Origin still asks to "update the ea app" upon reinstalling it and logging in, which of course uninstalls Origin.

I'm considering abandoning the Battlefield series, into which I sunk 2000+ hours and play it daily.

ABSOLUTE TRASH COMPANY.

Screenshooting my reply in advance, in case it gets censored.
I wouldn't be surprised.

EA app that's back but it looks like the person in charge hasn't patched this thing up right in a month.

Yes I really respect your suggestion, but the problem I'm having is like this (Image) please open it, at point 3, my FIFA application only has Play and it tells me that I'm in game. But what happens, the game doesn't appear and just stops on FIFA Launcher

Yep, I have to agree with you. I cannot do the u/g from Origin to EA and even tried to do a "thin setup of Origin" to see if I could play my older games. Worked for a day and then went to the damn upgrade mode to EA. I also agree with others that it does not seem fair that we buy games from Origin and cannot play them because some idiot s/w engineer decided to force us to play on line. Maybe a class action suit would work.
