Error [a0020000] Origin desktop application not running

Try the steps detailed here: https://help.ea.com/article/programs-that-may-cause-conflicts-with-origin

I don't have any of those programs or services running at the time I run titanfall.

have you found any way of fixing this issue? i have the exact same one and would love to play this game but cant because of it

If I find one, I'll be sure to tell you about it.

But so far, I've went to the EA's specialist team and tried almost every method possible.

I'm still unsure what causes this error, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with origin, not just titanfall.

I've found out that the loading goes on for about 3 seconds longer before it usually freezes when you reinstall origin.

The only method I've not tried is forwarding the TCP/UDP ports, which I'm not currently allowed to do cause my router's password is not default.

Probably redownloading the whole game might fix it, but 50gb is 50gb. Haven't tried that yet though, so keep in mind the error might still persist.

Another suggestion is to take part in origin's beta participation.

That's all I can give right now, apologies.

It might have been tried before, but just to chime in, have you tried using a different windows user profile? If some arcane network setting somewhere is the culprit, and this might help in narrowing things down. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7

Another thing that you might have tried, but I'd rather double check, is to reset the hosts file.

I suspect this is more networking/origin focused than TF related, mostly due to the network error when you try to repair.

I've already reset the hosts file, but I'll be glad to try again.

As for the windows user profile, I'll try that right now and update you on how it goes.

Thanks for not giving up on this case. 🙂

Alright, I did exactly what you told me to do.

I have to thank you cause it fixed my network timeout error.

I ran the repair without fail, but it says that my titanfall game is already the most recent version.

Tried running the game, still the same error.

Still, thanks for fixing one problem though.

Unsure what causes this problem, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the game failing to initialize origin.

would they error maybe because im using windows 8? i only ask this because when i download origin from the website it says its for 'Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Windows Vista, or Windows 7' it has nothing to say about windows 8? or am i just being perinoid?

I'm using Windows 7 ultimate, so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't from the OS.

okay thanks
