Thank you - I do know how to turn off notifications, go offline, and turn off auto updates - first thing I did to the programme. My sys admin just read your response, laughed and said 'no'.
The problems Origin gives me are way worse than the game occasionally crashing to desktop after a few hours playing. Origin doesn't even start up without several error messages about missing files - I've spent today downloading and installing the stupid thing several times. Then downloading and installing a 'new' version of the ultimate collection. Not only can I not run the game without having to go through Origin (and it's multiple error messages) the graphics are way worse now - I had the old game set up to recognise my graphics card. Then Origin starting throwing up more error messages. So another download and clean install later I try again and same thing. So now I can't play at all.
I'm going back to the damn discs. They at least run!
Such a frustrating xp with the damn Origin app. Has SO many bugs, not at all up to snuff for a program representing a big video game company.
Sorry I offer no help. I am having the same damn challenge, I just wanna play my SIMS2 UC offline!!
