  • Crosimmer Crosimmer (@Crosimmer) reported

    @tarkussc4 @EAPlay @OriginInsider That's something I've been reading up on recently after seeing someone else post the issue. I guess that answers my question on why my game is fully patched.

    @bootypiano @EA @OriginInsider I think this is a glitch. I've seen this happen with people with previous packs

  • leesuh22 Allisa Woo (@leesuh22) reported

    @OriginInsider Can't login to Origin because my IP is blocked all of a sudden. Getting the "Looks like we're having technical difficulties" error. Lots of posts about this on the internet but no proper resolution from your end. This issue isn't officially being acknowledged.

  • aagam_jhaveri Bruno the Magician (@aagam_jhaveri) reported

    @OriginInsider What the hell is wrong with your desktop app. I am unable to login even after the password reset! Get your **** together dude!

    @OriginInsider Hi! I'm not able to make any purchase on origin. All are in error, and the purchase is refused. I saw that this has happened to other players before.

  • boy_strawbery MikeyBoy (@boy_strawbery) reported

    @PlasticGold_ @OriginInsider So I'm not the only one who has this issue.. Got it. But as some stans would say: "The issue with your PC or WiFi, not EA and Origin, they are definition of literal perfection ***"

  • brokeahhb BrokeAhhB (@brokeahhb) reported

    @MAMA_Jan3 @TheSims This is why you keep your order confirmation emails lol they don't really remove purchased items from your account for no reason and that sounds more like @OriginInsider issue not Sims

  • GARRETTCFC Lee Garrett (@GARRETTCFC) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @OriginInsider hi i am trying to login to the Simpson’s tapped out game, but since the last update it has stopped it working. If it does start working again, I put the wrong email address when I started the game but haven’t had a problem but if I need a code it will be a problem

  • brokeahhb BrokeAhhB (@brokeahhb) reported

    @MAMA_Jan3 @TheSims @OriginInsider It is on there because I just used it about a week ago to fix something on my account.

  • Munken861 Munken86 (@Munken861) reported

    @OriginInsider Fix your login services. Origin is the 2nd worst game launcher to exist. only beaten by Uplay. Fix your ****, its impossible to connect at most times. amateurs

  • otakudontgiveup Otakudontgiveup (@otakudontgiveup) reported

    @OriginInsider you have a bad link on your desktop app. I went to log in and it stated my login was expired or didn't exist and to reset the password. When you click the link it brings you to an oops page. Then the website told me that signing in was not available at the moment!

  • Seroled90 Seroled (@Seroled90) reported

    @OriginInsider having an issue My sims 4 game got uninstalled after the last update and now I can not reinstall the game now matter what I do. The problem is not on my end it’s on your end with Origins. Please Fix ASAP or I would like a full refund of every sims 4 pack I own

  • AndrewFrisina1 FeaRei (@AndrewFrisina1) reported

    @KuniStreams @OriginInsider @EAHelp I've already had too many problems with Origin through Mirror's Edge Catalyst. It's so. So garbage. The Origin Subreddit is often filled with people having issues with it. I've also had issues with Microsoft games that aren't meant to be played via Steam.

  • otakudontgiveup Otakudontgiveup (@otakudontgiveup) reported

    @OriginInsider I ended up having to use my phone to access the reset password before logging in but this issue caused me to not be able to play since June 4th and I don't think I was the only one affected.

  • brokeahhb BrokeAhhB (@brokeahhb) reported

    @MAMA_Jan3 @TheSims @OriginInsider There should be an option on their site to open a live chat and then they’ll be able to assist you further. I’d login to your account and go to your purchase history to show proof you already bought them.

  • htte_jonas Jonas Hütte (@htte_jonas) reported

    @EA @OriginInsider @XboxGamePass I cant play the EA Play Games I get through my Xbox Game Pass properly because of issues between EA Desktop and Origin. EA Desktop wont connect to multiplayer servers in multiple Games and Origin wont detect my EA Play status at all.

  • Draelon Thomas Waldrop (@Draelon) reported

    @OriginInsider for the love of all that is holy, if you’re going to force me to use your app when I buy games on Steam, can You at least add an offline mode? I live in the country and have constant connection issues. When I drop, I can’t open your games. Hell.
