Launched game, played a little.got the popup about using Shift+Tab to open the steam overlay.got a game card in steam. Just used the Origin client play button for the game. It 'should' just accept that it's running but, it may try an launch the EA client.not sure.Įdit: Also tried playing the game. you could try using the Steam 'Play' button in your library but, just make sure you have Origin client already running. Maybe you tried it and there was an interuption in service. despite the new client not being as user friendly as the old Origin client was-imo. But, at least you should be able to have your games working successfully. It kind of sux we're all at the mercy of this new EA client.

You should be able to launch them without issue at this point.

You'll need to have 'view-options' set to 'show hidden files and folders' in order to see some important ones you need to sift through. anything named Origin, EA, or Electronic Arts. Next, go through your PC and delete ALL the folders that were left behind on your system. Do a restart on the PC to be sure Windows Registry gets updated and saved.
