Thanks EA, I'll never buy a game for Oigin again, I even sold my free Orgin download key for Crysis 3 cause I don't want to depend on Origin in any way.
I really don't get how Origin can be that broken compared to Steam. How is that even possible?

I've had all of the above at least once. Now I've been stuck on K for a few months now. Oh there's also L) ME3 shows up as a 9-digit number instead of "Mass Effect 3" on the games list. This one is also here to stay, it seems.
Yep, let me add that one.

Then again, I normally play on PS3. I think Origin could probably reformat my entire hard drive and I'd find it less horrific than most of PS3's ME3 MP issues.

I just figured out something - there's a secret (conspiracy!) RNG system that picks what is gonna go wrong whenever you run Origin.
So far, I discovered these:
a) friend list not loadingfriend list loads, but everybody appears offline
c) ME3 not starting
d) overlay in game not workinge) overlay working, but you can't chat in game
f) you can't tab out of ME3
g) "Origin (EA) stopped running. ME3 will now close."
h) online pass issue
i) can't send a friend requestj) don't see a friend request sent by othersk) randomly forgetting your e-mail and password even though you checked the "remember me" box
l) ME3 shows up as a 9-digit number instead of "Mass Effect 3"
What did you get?
Didn't get c,e,j,k, and l -- yet.
But:
m) cannot send messages either in game or not (hitting the "enter" button does nothing)
→please guys add a "send" button to the chat-window (hopefully this would fix the issue)
n) after notification pop-up the chat window is no longer in foreground, hence all you've typed since that is lost/not there
o) most of the friends are online/gaming but just not all of them -- they appear online to others
that's it so far:whistle:

Yeah that happened to me Friday. But only that one time, so far.

The other day origin said I had no friends. I realize I'm not exactly social, origin, but that's just mean

I've had all of those and the original ones. m) is the one I get the most recently.Slarian715 wrote...

As I play in windowed fullscreen and alt-tab for chatting, I also have origin freezing while I'm playing. I don't notice it until I try to alt-tab again. I can't get any message or send one until I restart origin.

already got all of the above except ©, but I had the game starting and then unexpected ending, when starting multiplayer or game loading without dlcs
in addition i experienced the following issues:
m) my friend needs to reload ME3, because i get repeatedtly stuck in the joining screen
n) nothing happens when mouseclicking the joining game button - until my friend not only restarted the game but also origin (this happened only once so far)

All of those.
Also, origin continues to occasionally ask me what my language preference is. Which wouldn't be much of an issue if it didn't open around twenty seperate tabs at a time whenever it decided to do so.
This. Everytime I start Origin, I keep getting a dozen popups asking me to select the language of my download which presumably belong to a DLC I downloaded and installed ages ago. Selecting "cancel" or picking a language does pretty much the same thing, namely nothing.
And now it's downloading Dragon Age II, even though that has also already been installed. Terrific.

and if they don't dance
they're
NO FRIENDS OF MINE!!!

I don't play windowed, just fullscreen (16:10) but I guess that doesn't really matter.kouzrah wrote...

In my experience the alt-tabbing problem is somehow related to the origin in-game problem. If origin in-game is working, alt-tabbing is working too and vice versa. And the only way out is to restart origin -- or even better your whole system -- to be sure it works afterwards.
TBH unfortunately I don't believe, as I stated above, that a "send" button would help out, since there's nothing wrong with the "enter" key. At this point, where you can't send messages, origin just seems "not to be able" to do so. A "send" button would have the same function as "enter", so it probably wouldn't work either.
Well, let's just hope some issues will at least get fixed in the future.

This is probably the Retaliation DLC crash. Happens every now and then and (more awfully) persists for some people.
