The speed and consistency of your internet connection is a must to ensure that the game runs smoothly and steadily.

Whether you are using the Ethernet or Wi-Fi, make sure that the connectivity is great. As more Wi-Fi users have reported the connection error problem than the Ethernet users, it is recommended to check your signal strength every now and then.

• Try ‘Run as Administrator” option:

This trick works a lot of time. It is simple to use as you just need to close the game and then use the Origin launcher option. There will be an icon on your system tray which you can check and close if required. Now, right-click on the Origin Icon, click on Run as Administrator.
