Solved: Origin "Could not connect to Internet" issue.
Hi EA,
I have a problem with Origin after I updated it to 10.4.12.59996 in Windows 7 SP 1. Till yesterday I have been playing offline without any issues with the Origin, but after I updated Origin, so that I can play FUT in FIFA 17, it is popping up the following message:-
It is very frustrating because I tried out everything that has been suggested previously in EA Forums but nothing is working:-
1. Internet is fine
2. I use Kaspersky and I have checked its firewall for port forwarding and application blockage.
3. I have added Origin to firewall exception list.
4. Installed/Reinstalled Origin after I cleaned up with CCleaner.
5. Even tried old Origin Standalone setup from File Hippo but still in vain.
6. Made sure Date/Time is correct on my PC.
7. I have cleared Origin Cache
8. I have reset the Windows Host file
9. I have flushed DNS
10. I also tried Clean Boot with Network option turned on.
Kindly advice any work around if possible. It is delaying my pre-order for FIFA18 because I am unsure whether I can play it or not.
Solved the Problem
Hi guys,
I solved the issue that was causing the Origin to pop up "Could not connect to Internet".
I tried everything that I found in the internet regarding this issue, but all was in vain.
Then I went inside the location "C:\ProgramData\Origin\Logs" and opened the "Bootstrapper_Log.txt" to find that the Digital Signature for "Origin.exe" and "OriginClient.dll" is the culprit.
Due to some reason, the Digital Signature is showing that the Countersigned certificate is invalid in both "Origin.exe" and "OriginClient.dll".
So I imported the "VeriSign Universal Root Certification Authority" (which I exported from another PC) under the "Trusted Root Certification Authority" and viola.
Origin works like a charm now.
