    Well the specialist and I resolved my issue. There is a bug in the game that it will not load if you have 3 screens active. Turning off one or two of my screens caused the game to fire right up. Hope this information is helpful to others.

    Hi doc713,

    Thanks for letting us know how you were able to get past this problem, I have accepted your answer as the solution to the issue.

    @drover115, Do you have multiple monitors running by any chance? Could you try disabling one of them, as suggested by doc713?

    Thanks.

    Rick.

Hey guys,

This step is more aimed at the issue doc713 is having with Windows 8 but I thought that you could also give it a shot drover115.

FIrst exit Origin and make sure that the process has completely finished. Right click on your Origin desktop icon or origin.exe and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Uncheck the box marked "Run the program in compatibility mode for:".

Also verify that "Run this program as an administrator" is unchecked. There is no need to elevate Origin's permissions. That is handled automatically by the program.

Once you have done this please start up Origin and try to run the game again.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks.

Rick.
