This could point to a Windows 8 problem.
Is everyone running from the updated Windows 8.1? This has been known to cause a lot of problems with gamepads, usb headphones and of course certain game titles.
Using Windows 8.1 Crashes at startup. Had no problem first time I played the game...for about the first 30 min. Then crashed; then I kept getting these login windows to Origin that didn't allow me to login. Eventually solved that issue, so that now the game will at least launch, but crashes at startup. Specs below:

If you are having a similar but different issue you might want to make a new thread. Also you should probably call customer support

Hi there,
Try running the game with Windows compatability mode and choose Windows 7.
You can do this by right clicking the games .exe file in the Origin games folder.
