Yes I am logged in to the account, and have even tried logging out and back in again, and Origin still tries to start in Online Mode. IF I can get to the My Home page, I am always needing to manual toggle to Offline Mode. Also, it appears Origin is pinging my connection status and switching back to Online Mode throughout the day, Offline is not "sticking". The only games that are available atm regardless of connection status are Sim City and Bejeweled. The rest are grayed out until a connection is detected (if even for a brief moment). Sometimes I can use my phone to enable that brief connection just to get the games to become available, but if I've got nothing (no connection from AT&T at all) games like Sims 4 are unavailable to play.
@rayzac Did you buy the game or are you using it through Origin Access ?
Seems that doesn't make a difference.
When it becomes available, can you play in offline mode or does it go back to greyed out. Origin does re-connect when it detects a online connection but if you are offline, it shouldn't and it should work in offline mode.
