    After passing on windows 8.1, I can not play the EA games without online activating . Dragon Age 2, Amalur and all games requiring Origin - I must activate online everytime I want to play it . . Any advice would be greatly appreciated .

    I play on MSI Gx60 1AC ;)

    Never mind. Just to remove some folders with Program Data , reinstalled Orygin using CC Cleaner to clean registry . Everything works perfectly.

    Thanks for following up and letting us know how you resolved it. Many times people just post an issue and even though they don't get responses they either just say "nevermind fixed it" or delete their original post, or just disappear. CCleaner and Glary Utilities have cleaned stuff up for me in the past too.
