Can I play my game without Origin being involved?

I've seen this launcher format before, it's a nice tool for you guys to try to sell me other games, BUT in the middle of gameplay (Mass Effect 3) the game suddenly closes with a message saying it's an Origin issue (Origin's not working or connected or something like that).

If I've downloaded this single player game information, why do I have to be connected to anything?

If the issue is with Origin and not my game, can I get rid of the damned thing and continue my gameplay please?

    Quite understandable that you're frustrated with a game that doesn't work :/

    Googled a bit and found some more possible solutions to your problem (not that they are particularly fun but they might help):

    As you can see most of the solutions that I found seams to be circling around reinstalling the origin client, not that fun but it was what I was able to find.

    THANK YOU!!!  It was driving me nuts too!  I tried everything...and I mean everything for days to be able to do a replay of ME1...but couldn't;t figure out the camera lag problem.

    Thank you!  I turned off Origin in game and can play again like the old days.

    Origin sucks

  • Can so relate. Origin sucks, EA launcher sucks -- I have all the EPs and SPs -- some so old the boxes long since disapeared. Sometimes 4 games show up in launcher -- sometimes 2 -- sometimes 8. In origin -- some show up, some don't. In pull-down, some show up, some show up 3 times. It's ridiculous. I don't do stupid messaging. No desire. Playing Sims because it's better than communicating with real people -- who turn out to be like EA, who say, Oh, just pay for another game.

    No.

    And nothing in this thread let you "bypass" Origin. You need Origin to run the game.

  • I've had similar problem with command and conquer games. The only solution that works is to reinstall origin every single time I run the game.

  • I am having the same problem but with star wars battel front 2

  • I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Mass Effect 3, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
