Is there a way to avoid this for the time being?
The thing is by sheer luck I was logged into Origin during the weekend, but had put it off-line, because there’s no way I’m patching as long as the Henford-on-Bagley bug hasn’t been fixed (+ I’m not ready to give up whims for wants&fears yet), and had simply kept my computer in sleep-mode which means I’m still logged into Origin and can still play my game pre the High School patch. When I read about the havoc the new update to Origin caused, I disconnected the wifi, and so far the only thing I get is a small pop-up on the front page of the Sims 4 game kind of similar to the SDX’s telling me that my game is repairing, but that I need to go online in order to do so. I’ve been ignoring the pop-up and so far so good.
But I’d also like to connect my wifi again and use the computer for other stuff so question is, if I turn the wifi back on while still having the Origin window open but turned to off-line, will the repair thing that Origin is so set on doing happen anyway? And furthermore, if I were to log out of Origin, will it be possible to disconnect the wifi and go in via desktop despite Origin needing an update?
So sorry for everyone who got forced into patching. It’s beyond frustrating when you get run over like this.
