Didnt work, did it twice even in case I missed something before, did the complete uninstall of origin, went through regedit process and reinstalled. Deleted the exe for ME: A and had Origin reinstall them. Something is broken between when the exe launches not detecting that Origin is both installed and running. I would be perfectly happy to not have Origin at all, not like the game is going to be getting updates anytime soon.
