Mad Max crashes after an update of Origin

Edited again : Finally this issue was solved, by a user named Qwaynlr, not EA support. The following is what I wrote as the last reply of this thread. EA, I'll go ask for the refund for my purchase ...

    Hey man,
    I don't know if this will work for you but I had the same problem for a while but today I finally managed to get it running:
    1) open Origin
    2) click on Mad Max
    3) click on the settings button, then on game properties
    4) on the "advanced launch options" tab under line "when launching this game" select "Mad Max", not the "Mad Max EA Launcher" option
    And that's all, did the trick for me, hopefully it'll help you as well

Until now there had been at least 2 Origin updates, but the issue persists. I even tried booting my laptop as 'Safe mode with network available', launched Origin and uninstalled Mad Max, then installed it again. After more than 1 and half an hour, the download was complete but a popup window came up "Error. The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1601)"

And then another window of Origin said (in Korean, my language) "Unexpected error. Try again later. Error: 327684:1"

I wouldn't blame EA for what I just tried, as it's not an official reply or suggestion but was from a user on the Internet.

However, this issue persists for more than a week and it's not dealt with yet. What the hell is happening? Literally I've tried everything I could, there doesn't seem to be anything else I may try. After writing here, I had submitted UO Trace info to Korean branch as well, though I couldn't understand why I had to. (I was pretty sure it's not the network, but progamming can involve a problem from an unexpected source, so I just submitted it, with downloading an external program provided by EA.)
