What worked for me was deleting some files from my computer that had been downloaded the same day Origin wouldn't let me log in. just type in uninstall program into your computer's search and uninstall what you don't want. BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T UNINSTALL A NECESSARY FILE!
I literally tried everything on the previous fixes - firewall, full removal/re-add, router check, pings, tracer, run-as-admin, etc. - nothing worked. Finally just got origin to the login screen, with an error saying "you must be online when logging in for the first time." Concluded it must be the latest update - checked on Twitter, and there's loads of people with the same problem - hence this thread has come alive again after a few years.
Only thing that's worked was installing the old version from the FileHippo link, but it still tries to auto-update. I hope EA sort this mess out - hate having to re-install the software every time I reboot.
This is really getting horrible. I keep having to uninstall and reinstall the old Origin client. ANY ETA ON WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED?!!!
Still Broken...FIX IT!!!
For those still searching here is the TEMPORARY fix/workaround. Uninstall the Origin client. Then install an older version. Here is a link to a working version of the client:
https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginSetup_10_5_41_27263.exe
The only problem is, this works one time. Once you exit the client and relaunch it, it will check if there is a newer version of the client and force you to update it to the broken version. So you will have to uninstall and reinstall ... again.
Hy Everyone!
Solution of @El-Barton67 workd me. Just uninstall and reinstall with "working version".
Thank you man!!! I tried everything what on the internet...
