ME3 Won't Launch

Hi, so I'm having some issues with Mass Effect 3. Every time I try to start it, it just pulls up origin, Origin reloads and nothing happens. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

    In the meantime you can try this:

    • Make sure Origin and Steam are closed.
    • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    • Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
    • Delete the "License" folder.
    • Test.

I bought the game on steam but it loads through Origin when starting up.

Yes, it needs Origin to start, but I saw this problem on other language boards as well and it seems that only people that bought the game in Steam are effected.

That is why a asked.

    yeah that's strange. Do you know if Steam or EA is working on a fix? I tried a bunch of stuff but nothing seems to work. I might try uninstalling if I can't find a solution by tonight.
