Just tried whipping and reinstalling origin to see if that fixes it. - No
Thought maybe it was this problem with big sur (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/why-doesn-t-origin-support-mac-update-big-sur/td-p/9769834) but I reinstalled origin with the link in the thread and it still didn't fix it.
Also tried making my phone a hotspot to rule out connectivity problems and still wasn't working.
Also went into my privacy settings to make sure origin and reset origin had access to all file and now they do but still didn't fix it.
If its some sort of protection setting its one that isn't immediately obvious. come to think of it I had a similar problem trying to run the geforce now application ages ago but I don't experience this when I use steam or parallels-windows 10. What kind of stuff might those two have in common that could cause this reaction with my mac? or am I thinking too hard?
