Hey @us18x can you go ahead and clear the Origin Cache to see if it helps. The error points to something on your system stopping Origin from working.

You can clear the Origin Cache by following the steps below:

  1. Completely log out and close down Origin
  2. Hold down the Windows key and R
  3. Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK
  4. Now open the Origin folder.
  5. Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)
  6. Hold down the Windows key and R
  7. Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
  8. This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
  9. Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
  10. Open the Local folder here
  11. Delete the Origin folder listed here

    Just had this happen, and found a workaround - if you have an NVIDIA graphics card and have the Geforce experience installed, you can launch the game through the Games page in the home tab of the Geforce app. Assuming you've added your games to it previously.
