    Do you have any tips for how to make Origin run again when it's been reinstalled?  I made the mistake of downloading the EA app this week and realized I could no longer access EIG.  I re-installed Origin and just get the prompt to switch to the app.  I have also tried uninstalling the app.  How are users able to access or force the re-use of Origin? 

  • @ldkg  Some users are being forced to switch to the EA App and can't run Origin at all.  (This is new as of a couple days ago.)  If that's the case for you, I'm not sure there's any workaround.  But what you can try is launching Origin while your computer is offline.  I don't know if you'll still see the prompt to switch to the EA App when offline.  If not, then that's a workaround: you can manually launch Sims 3 or CAW with Origin already open.

    You can also try launching CAW while your computer is offline and Origin is NOT open.  It's possible CAW will still call the EA App rather than Origin, but it's an easy test.

    Unfortunately, I don't have anything else to offer.
