@l00duck Are you using Windows 10 S or regular Windows 10?
If you are using Windows 10 in S mode, you will need to switch out of S mode to use Origin (this is permanent, you can't switch back to S mode later).
If you're not running Windows 10 in S mode, did you download and run the installers linked in post #4 above or did you download the individual DLLs and manually place them?
If you're not running Windows 10 in S mode, if you haven't already, uninstall both the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) from your computer. If both are installed, uninstall both. If only one is installed, uninstall it. Then go to https://support.microsoft.com/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads. Download both vc_redist.x64.exe and vc_redist.x86.exe linked under the heading "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" and install them.
/I did everything you said but it still wont let me play the game. any ideas why?
@kateAMM What error are you getting, and does it happen when you try to install Origin or at some other point?
Hi
I just found these messages and I have managed to get the Origin Client downloaded. I downloaded Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 (version 16.0) from https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202019 in x64 and x86. Hope this might help someone.
