Did you download the digital patch after installing from Origin?

Moving this to the stickied disc error thread.

    Close Origin and try launching your game from your Applications folder. 

    Are you absolutely sure that you a) uninstalled the EP properly by getting rid of all relevant files before downloading and installing the digital version and b) downloaded the digital patch, not the region specific disc one.
