In just a few years, the modern gaming market almost completely changed its concept and smoothly switched to a digital market model. That is, all developers began to think about how to reduce costs and increase profits, while not reducing sales. Fortunately, they found such a solution, and today we can observe how various programs appear in the network, which are a digital store. One of the leading players in this area is Steam, but in addition to it there are other attempts to create such services. Today we’ll talk about an online store called Origin, which was created by the world famous game developer - Electronic Arts. In particular, we will try to solve the most common problems due to which the Origin program does not start.
What kind of program is this?
Origin is a virtual game store that directly sells the company's products. It contains an assortment, news, all the necessary information, a user's personal account, a database, etc. Any user can just buy a product of interest to him and enjoy it at any time. True, unlike the giant of this Steam market, the project in question was released at a hasty pace and has a number of problems, because of which Origin quite often does not start. Although there are not many of them, it’s still unpleasant when you want to play your favorite game, and you are not given access to your own database, which has been accumulating for a long time and for which money was spent. Fortunately, the problems are not so serious, and they are easy to solve.
Launch Issues
Origin is a program that synchronizes with EA's main server and has a huge number of users. Because of this, various crashes and errors can occur. But, as a rule, if Origin does not start precisely because of this, then it notifies the user and paints the whole problem. In such cases, it is better to wait a bit and run the program later.
The second launch issue is access denial. Many users have encountered such a problem and for a long time, even EA themselves could not solve the problem of this format. The fact is that users entered their data, and the program simply refused to accept it. Even after the passwords were changed several times, the program still refused access. It turned out that the problem that caused Origin to not start was hidden in the technical equipment of the program itself. Origin is unique in that it synchronizes with the standard Internet Explorer browser. To solve this problem, you just need to launch Internet Explorer itself, go to your browser settings, look for the "Certificates" tab and clear the cache. Then open the certificates themselves, find “verisign” and if this certificate expires, simply delete it. Thus, you eliminate the problem of rejection of your user data.
In addition to problems with the Origin program itself, there are still difficulties with launching some games, which we will now consider.
Problem with Dragon Age Origins
There are not many reasons why Dragon Age Origins does not start, and most can be fixed by simply reinstalling the game itself. True, there are more serious problems, for example, an increase in CPU usage by several times after several hours of active stay in the game. If you still encounter this problem, then the solution is to update the game through Origin. To do this, you need to check for game updates and install them. After that, the problem will disappear.
Another unpleasant situation due to which Dragon Age Origins does not start is an error during PhysX initialization. To get rid of this error, you must first remove PhysX, then download and install additional Driver Sweeper software. After that, you need to clear the cache and reinstall PhysX.
Battlefield 4 launch issue
Battlefield 4 is a state-of-the-art first-person shooter game that has impressed the gaming community with its breakthrough in quality and performance. Many users encountered a number of problems for which they could not enter the game, but, as it turned out, all these problems are solved in a simple way. The reason Battlefield 4 Origin does not start is because the game itself is tied to the technical equipment of the computer. And this does not apply to the system requirements of the game, it's all about the drivers. Whatever the problem, you can solve it (in the case of this game) by simply updating the main computer software, which includes the Windows operating system itself. If you carefully treat this issue and timely update all the software components of your computer, then there will be no problems with the game.
Password Recovery Problem
There is another reason why Arkham Origins often does not start, and the Origin program itself may refuse to work. This is a user data recovery problem. Why did we remember a third-party game? It's simple, this game had exactly the same problem, and its solution is great for Origin. In order not to get into this unpleasant situation, you just need to attach additional means of communication to your profile, for example, a phone or a social network. If you have all this, then there will definitely not be any problems with password recovery.
Other problems with Origin
In fact, the question of why Origin does not start is being asked more and more often every day. The developers themselves did not prepare a stable technical basis for this type of digital trading, because of this, many users have a lot of problems that are associated not only with games, but also with payments, downloading and access problems. What is most interesting, they all somehow affect the launch of the program itself. If you encounter any unknown problems of launching the program and access, then do not forget that the program has an official site - www.origin.com, which works separately from the program itself and on which there is adequate technical support. After contacting the service through the site, any of your problems will be solved within 3 days. Therefore, when you encounter any problems that are associated with the Origin program, whether it’s payment, downloading, or even hacking your account, try to state the problem as accurately as possible, provide contact details and send a request to the service.
Remember about security: the service will not require a password and login from your profile, but will immediately offer a solution to the situation.
