Right finally got my account verified thanks to a helpful person at EA Help.
I have tried every which way with Origin and there is no way you can play without patching the game.
Downloaded the beta app and it has even less options than the old Origin. Can't play unpatched with that either, no matter how you try and launch the game.
It seems there is absolutely no way to play without installing probably the worse patch I have seen (based on user feedback I have read) since 2014.
So is this it now? Every patch will be forced?
I will probably spend some time re-modding my game this time but if the next patch is forced, I'm out. Lots of other distractions out there.
I've been running into this problem for the last three or so Patches. One time I failed to go offline, first. I always have the auto-update on Origin switched to the off position as I play with Mods. I would switch to Offline on the day a Patch is set to drop, but then it won't let me launch the game. It all but demands I have to patch! This is just rude. What if I want some time to allow for the mods I use to be updated, yet i don't want not to play while I wait? I had already pre-ordered HSY this time, so I pulled the Mods folder and went ahead and patched. I think they clogged up the works, however, too much stuff in one patch. The EP isn't fully functional, it's almost worst than MWS, if that's even possible.
I'm very sorry to hear the Beta hasn't changed. I tried it out very shortly after they first advertised, via the older Origin, but made the report back that I couldn't find a way to repair the game with the Beta. I need this function. It's not a matter of If, it's a matter of WHEN I'll need to repair the game.
Sorry, went off on a bit of a rant. :open_mouth:
