"Origin is required to play your game, please install Origin" error

Hey All,

For this let's do some clean up. Even if Origin was never installed, there may be old or corrupted files when the game is installed or updated.

First, make sure you close down as many programs running on Windows as you can. The only thing you want open is the EA App.

• EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
• EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)

Close down the EA App completely.

Delete Windows Temp Files

• First, make sure you close as many programs as you can
• Press the Windows key + R, go into the file explorer
• Type in %temp%, and hit Enter
• Delete everything it allows you to delete
• Reboot the PC

Optional Registry clean-up

• install CCleaner (it's free) from here
• Run Registry cleaner
• Click review selected issues
• Do you want to back up? No
• Click Fix all selected issues

Lastly take a look at the Help page Here! It does have Origin but just replace the folder with the EA App and test out the steps that you can.
