okay.... somehow I managed to solve it, but it's a little tricky...
I've tried a lot of things but the solution lies in connecting and disconnecting with the internet..... and closing origin....
I disconnected and started offline (I am not so sure about that part. Maybe I connected with internet and after that - with origin already running - I disconnected... Sorry, like I said, I'm not so sure about that) and got the activation-message. Then I closed origin - attention - it stays in the system tray but you have to close that too. (the activation message stays). Then connecting with the internet and activating. then - start the game. While the game starts to play, I clicked on origin so that this application starts too. From there (remember - the game is already running) I clicked on the game in origin so it would start for the second time - but a message is shown (something like - the game is already running). And boooooooom - it is working without internet connection. I've tried a few times since then and it still doesn't need internet connection.
If it doesn't work for the first time - try a few times again - or try connecting and disconnecting to the game during the whole thing I just described.
good luck! 🙂
