Origin Just Automatically Began Repairing My Game

It's now repairing again!
Anyone else have this happen?

Origin is doing the same for me. When I open up it immediately starts repair, although I thought it was updating. For once I want to postpone a sims 4 update indefinitely and now this.

On top of that all my games are just blanc boxes, I can't click on play. I read someone else had this and had to restart their pc but that didn't fix it for me.

Something like that happened to me a while ago. Somehow some of my game data disappeared, but a repair game and complete restart fixed it.
I thought that had been due to a AVG Tune Up program I had installed which deleted parts of some files. It hasn't happened since.
So I don't know what all this is about.
Not sure if it's actually downloading the new patch, which I also didn't want, or just repairing again.
This could be a LONG afternoon!

Yes, same thing happened to me.
I was going to repair because the game wouldn't launch, but it did the repair automatically.
I didn't want the latest update either but it's done now.

Now I'm spooked to open origin I was gonna finally get back to game :grimace:

Ahh, so it's not just me.
All's fine now, although I got stuck on a loading screen, so don't know if that's a side effect from the patch I didn't want! *rolls eyes*
Now I know why everyone's complaining about the changes to the mobile phone. It's not an improvement at all!

This happened for me as well, but I had a desktop icon to fall back on. The game ran ok, Origin wasn't trying to update as far as I could tell. It does seem insistent on ramming the EA launcher down my throat though.

EDIT
Hitting Control+R if you have that screen with blank areas instead of games to click on may work. Alternatively the option is in the "Origin" menu, about halfway down the list. (Reload Page)

Same here. I can't start the game for it always starts repairing again when I switch to online-mode

Let us know how you go!

I survived
for now at least

i did have the origin update which i accepted

it did that twice which was kinda strange but oh well

i had few seconds of origin showing blank squares instead of games but when i reloaded the page they were all there safely

I did update the patches when those dropped though so that may have spared me actual trouble

aand game seemed to run normally when i went in

hopefully i won't run into trouble later but i shall post if i do

I have restarted my computer, and the game repaired, and while the game shows up when I click on play nothing happens. I have made a short cut for sims 4 to desktop like others and it still won't launch. please help. I should add I have not updated game and don't want to do so.

My Origin wasn't working at all for me for a while so I tried the EA App to get into my games. It worked well, so I am keeping it, even though my granson fixed my Origin.
