Game repair?
Does the game automatically update after doing a game repair in Origin?

EA, why are you doing this to us, and why are you doing it without even a tiny warning?
I'm not patching my game, meaning I will not be allowed to play? It worked fine last night, today nothing?
I don't want the App either, why would I need it when I prefer to play offline in order to avoid buggy patches? Why should I trust the App on day 1?
PS: Just realized it might be a good idea to backup my game before doing anything. Origin insists on repairing my game the next time I go online.
I sympathize with you @Simmerville as I want to play so bad was having so much fun for a change, but the work arounds other have mentioned like putting the ts4.exec short cut on desktop isn't working, and I could use the app but I don't want to as it will make me update and I don't want to be able to play the game only to find I have all the issues others have experienced like phone obsession which would be the worst, lag, and other issues. I hope this isn't going to replace origin as if it is, we won't have any options to opt out of patches unless it is added in.
Origin did do an automatic repair on my game, but it didn't download patch thankfully.
Thanks. Oh - it did not patch? Perhaps I will need to try the repair then. With some luck offline will work without patching.
I really dislike the way they simply roll out a big change with no warning. I guess I'm not the only one being able to play one hour now and then, but like tonight that hour was stolen by backing up my files (which I did few days ago, so not really planned to do it again this early) and I have no idea whether my game will be playable again tomorrow or in 3 weeks. EA should have given us some info beforehand. Today I got the not that I could update Origin. If I knew it was not a regular update I would have delayed it a couple days because there is certain things I need to get done in game, like capturing some pictures for blog updates etc. The lack of communication worries me.
