Re: Steam -Multiplayer locked "Origin is offline". Only fix is buying game on EA too

Can we try the following steps?

Try running the client and game as an admin
Close other running applications on your device
Connection and Advance Connection Guides
Repair your game via the EA App - Repair (Library > Tile Dots > Repair)
Clear EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
Run the System File Checker tool, then Check for Windows and GPU updates
Restart your device in Clean Boot mode first then try again.

Cheers!

Ive tried all of that and as expected it doesn't work. Like I have said I found the reason behind this yet it seems everyone i stumble into that works for EA chooses to ignore this fact. It's got something to do with your launcher for sure otherwise why could I fix it easily by buying the game on the launcher too?
