hi i already did all of that :
1. I restarted origin client and my computer multiple times.
2. I reinstalled game again.
3. I tried to use internal origin "repair" mode.
4. Always running origin as administrator.
i will try today in the evening to flushDns and cleanBoot. ports are opened because i have also other origin game Star Wars Battlefront and its working with no problem.
also error message directly indicates on some connectivicty to activation error. that never happened to me before, so i am very suprised, because playing many games on different platforms from steam to origin.
i tried both flushdns and cleanboot. nothing seems to help. also cleanboot is funny thing since there is no internet connection after full clean boot according to Ea manual.
- i was able to gather origin clients logs - this will probably help a lot :

Cześć @jason3000XYZ 😉
I've found a post on Polish Answers HQ that might be helpful for you. You can check it out HERE. You'll find there a few steps, which you might have not tried yet.
Thanks!

- hi i already found resolution to that just yesterday - VPN. avast offers free one for thirty days. it seems that VPN both to USA/hungary resolves issues. i did not try other countries however it seems other would be also ok.
funniest fact after disconnecting vpn and restart origin still same thing 🙂)))))))) that is more than ensuring me that problem is on EA's side with Poland region.
