    FIXED!

    I had to uninstall Origin completely and delete the folders. Once I reinstalled the game worked.

On the phone with EA, I discovered that uninstalling Avast! and checking the msinfo log for errors that explained why it was failing helped. I used to get this error and now, following those two steps, I am able to play!

    Was getting the same error message called ea and found out it was my anti virus. I just have to turn it off everytime I play. Now it works perfectly fine.
