PVZ-GW: "Warning: you must be signed into Origin to continue" [PC]

Hello,

I have seen a couple of threads asking this question, but I have yet to find an adequate answer. Whenever I start up Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare through Origin, I get the error message "Warning: You must be signed into Origin to continue." However, I am obviously online since I can access the Origin overlay feature while on this screen, and my friends can also see that I am online. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Origin client and re-installed the game to no avail. I have also made sure that both Origin and the game are installed in the same location. I was originally able to play this game without any trouble when it was on a free weekend some time ago, yet I can no longer get past this pesky message. Are there any other steps I can take to get into the game?

Thanks,

MrStarBacon

(Also, I am running Windows 8 on my Macbook through Bootcamp, if that helps at all.)

    Yeah confirmed. No need to uninstall just go onto the Origin site and re-download it, run it and all of a sudden it works. Typical EA :/

    I have tried a few more steps, yet none have worked:

    1) I have run the program as an administrator

    2) I have reset my hosts file

    3) I have flushed my DNS cache

    4) I have reset Winsock

    I bought the game recently through the Humble Bundle. It seems like a lot of people who purchased it this way are experiencing trouble playing, one way or another.
