My Origin had the curse of fatal death today, it's great.
Every now and then it uninstalls games or DLC by itself, which isn't exactly great, but today I can't launch anything because it claims Origin isn't installed at all. No online, no offline, nothing. I can't uninstall it because it claims to be gone already, despite the fact all of its files are present in their registries to the point I can locate the files it says are missing right where they're supposed to be, and downloading it again doesn't work because I get instant errors (a different one every time too). I'll probably have to do a complete scrub and wipe it out completely to start from scratch. Found a bunch of Reddit posts from folks having the same issue from 2017.
The best part is that EA help isn't working for me. I go to file a case about it and where the options to choose a contact method should be it just says "Test" with no actual options.
The rest of my PC is fine and clean, Steam and all its games are fine, games outside of launchers are fine, it's just Origin.
I miss the days when you put a disc in, installed a game and then played it.
