Tried starting it from applications, and when I pressed play I got a message saying that the game couldn't start when it was running, what ever that means...
I forgot to mention that every time I've tried to launch the game through origin I'm told that something is downloading and that it might affect the game, but I have no ongoing downloads.
Thanks for answers though :)
