    Anyone else having trouble logging into #Origin? @OriginInsider

  • bunnymaknaee b- (@bunnymaknaee) reported

    @OriginInsider I’m trying to redeem a code on origin on browser and it won’t let me log in. I’m really upset because I wasted my money. So maybe fix your website.

  • GemmyButton Gemmy (@GemmyButton) reported

    @itshellareal @OriginInsider Same here. Bought on steam and the game won't launch. I'm convinced its an Origin problem.

  • nanohard_ nanohard (@nanohard_) reported

    Just watched someone fail reCaptchas for 10 minutes on @OriginInsider then finally get denied access for being a bot. If you're looking give your programmers the same kind of service, just have someone replace all the ASCII "a"s with cyrillic "a"s in the code.

  • itshellareal Simone Pearson (@itshellareal) reported

    @OriginInsider Can you please explain why I can't launch mass effect legendary edition? This seems to be a problem exclusive to your platform

  • BrianVitesse ⎛⎝Brian⎠⎞ (@BrianVitesse) reported

    @EAHelp @OriginInsider Ive got a little problem here. When I try to log into my Origin account I get the error “Your EA credentials have expired and need to be updated. Please reset your password.” So I click reset password but its taken me to an error page?

  • OFFICIALSEVANNI SEVANNI BLACK ©™ (@OFFICIALSEVANNI) reported

    @EA @TheSims @OriginInsider ok...please fix the skills they keep vanishing. Stop forcing us to update. Nothing was wrong with my game until the last update. As usual. Can't see torso or feet. Also objects are showing up all weird. Stop releasing content and fix the game. #TS4 KMN

  • KRock_82 Karl Rocco (@KRock_82) reported

    @TheKratuk @OriginInsider @EAHelp Sure. If it isn't too much trouble. Was thinking of installing a mod but unsure how to do it.

  • aliceandthehare Alice Liddell (@aliceandthehare) reported

    @OriginInsider Haven’t been able to use your stupid launcher for a week. Runs extremely slow every time I open it. To the point where I can’t play the games I bought. Fix this!!!

  • meerwill_ 🌸💕✨ (@meerwill_) reported from Chester, Pennsylvania

    @OriginInsider how long until i can login ? I’ve been trying all day

  • aviinfinity Aviinfinity (@aviinfinity) reported

    @EA @OriginInsider @EAStarWars I'm 23 and getting the 524 error... is there anything you can do to sort this out? I thought the error was for kids playing online... #help #ea #battlefront2

  • liangchen1215 liangchen (@liangchen1215) reported

    @OriginInsider Thank you for ruining my day! I bought It takes Two but can’t play it on steam because your login is forever having technical issues! And if you don’t want new registration just close your site instead of playing us with your retarded verification! Go d*e with your f*cking dices!

  • herrmansen Mansen 🎮 (@herrmansen) reported

    Oh... found the issue. For some reason @OriginInsider thought it was a great idea to completely max out my CPU doing... nothing. Quick shutdown and reboot of the app fixed the issue.

  • bryantirohn Bryan (DrTirohny) (@bryantirohn) reported

    Nothing like coming home from work, installing @masseffect via @Steam, eat dinner, go to play, and now I have a problem launching the game because @OriginInsider wants an activation code and I can't get it from Steam for some reason. Fridays are suppose to be good right?

  • PilonStorm01 warren pilon (@PilonStorm01) reported

    @OriginInsider would you guy please fix origin it keeps crashing and yes i un installed and re in stalled it

  • Fenrir_Furry Fenrir @LonelyLockdownCon 2021 (@Fenrir_Furry) reported

    @OriginInsider, your account set up is ablest af. I jsut want to play Mass Effect but have to quickly work out 15 maths problems just to make an account with your service before I can...

  • IronMan198XAD AJ Jones (@IronMan198XAD) reported

    @Steam_Support @OriginInsider So the launcher will not launch any of the 3 ME games, and a whole lot of other people are having the same issue.

  • DonnaM3107 donna stone (@DonnaM3107) reported

    @OriginInsider have you managed a fix for the codes needed to log into tapped out yet? I can't even access the site. I turned off two factor authentificatuon, yet still need the code?

  • showjester316 Tightly Wound Jester (@showjester316) reported

    @OriginInsider i have never ever ever experienced a worse log in experience from any service. Your captcha system is horrible, your reset password system is horrible

  • Anticleric Blair Renaud💮 (@Anticleric) reported

    @OriginInsider I cant login to Origin. Password not accepted. Reset password link goes to "oops" page. Managed to get to "send me a password reset". The email isnt coming. What's the deal?

  • 4ikoTM Aiko (@4ikoTM) reported

    If @EA could give me steam keys for all my @OriginInsider games, so I don't have to deal with that nightmare of a software anymore - that be great. It's slow, unresponsive and every game has like 50 errors during download and installation. ******* hell…

  • funnerd10 Himanka Parashar (@funnerd10) reported

  • CjEspino13 Cj Espino (@CjEspino13) reported

    @OriginInsider why can’t I login to my account?

  • voicingviews1 voicingviews (@voicingviews1) reported

    @OriginInsider Have tried to signup for EA Games 10 times and consistently get a message that there is error or 'Not a good time' Poor answer without an indication when to try again. Soon is not an answer, it is a cop-out.

  • Katie_Batie93 Katie (@Katie_Batie93) reported

    Hey fellow simmers, is anyone else having problems loading up origin lately? It just stays in a forever loading screen and I’ve tried some stuff to fix it, it was fixed and now it won’t work again. Any ideas on how I can still play the sims? #origin #sims4 #help @OriginInsider

  • Macavity_Smiles Mock Bottom 🍑 (@Macavity_Smiles) reported

  • DavidEastwickUK David Eastwick aka TheDaveStream (@DavidEastwickUK) reported

  • KENAXION RE-AXION (@KENAXION) reported

    @OriginInsider your website is garbage. You put me on a pay wall on your garbage EA Desktop to download a game when I already have Game Pass. I have to get a subscription for a service I already have. You take my money now I can't login in to cancel the subscription. ****. You.
