Can you try and clear the origin cache :
1.Ensure Origin is fully closed by clicking the Origin Menu and selecting Exit.
2.Delete the following folders:
•Origin folder - Found in C:\ProgramData\ --> Everything except for the following sub directory: DO NOT DELETE: C:\ProgramData\Origin\LocalContent
•Origin folder - Found in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\
•Origin folder - Found in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\
•Note: These folders are hidden by default, and the player will need to un-hide to be able to locate them.
to unhide folders:
-type folder options in the search field in the start menu
-click on the view tab
-under the hidden folders options click show hidden files, folders, and drives- apply the setting and click ok
.
I found this solution to be a great fix.
After trying just about everything else - uninstalling "Origin", "CCleaner", UAV settings, "REGEDIT" & Administrator - who would have thought
to check hidden files (caches).
Thanks ever so much!
