    It seems they fixed this issue. Now origin respects the setting and disables Origin In-Game for ME3 on Steam too.

    Logging:

    Origin::Engine::Content::LocalContent::launchStep2      6340       IGO API disabled for DR:230773600

    Before it was

    Origin::Engine::Content::LocalContent::launchStep2      6416       IGO enabled for DR:230773600

True Origin and EASteamProxy.exe won't even start. I have also tried the following:

Allowed initially Steam to install the OriginThinClient (although I had Origin installed..) then uninstalled Origin then uninstalled ME3 (and manually removed any Origin folders on the system). Afterwards I installed the Origin client from EA (not the ThinClient) and reconfigured Steam to disable installation of the ThinClient. ME installed just fine but still in-game overlay was forced by the Origin client from EA (it does not have anything to do with the ThinClient).

To reconfigure Steam to not use the ThinClient (upon initial installation of the game via Steam) either delete it from the game folder or modify the ME3 Steam installScript.vdf file (do this only if you know what you are doing because Steam will detect that the file has been modified and not execute the Registry commands 😉 ).
