Hello guys, this is my first time to write in this forum. I have a frustrating problem and I think it's my fault. When I opened origin today, it says "origin is updating", but I noticed that it keeps on updating and then I uninstalled and reinstalled sims 3, but I can't install it because origin is updating again. Then thankfully the update is finished, but the problem is not yet over. Whenever I want to go online to view my games, a box pops up saying, "Disconnected: critical update required. You have been temporarily disconnected in order to apply a critical update. Please restart the origin client to log back in" (my wifi is even on and it's fast) and the annoying update begins. I tried restarting my pc but it doesn't work and I can't go online. I remembered yesterday when I clicked the "go offline" in origin so I can play w/o internet, and I blame myself. I should've put it in online mode so that I can install sims 3 right away today. Please help me guys. I feel like I'm trapped. I just bought another EP today and I want to play it so bad.
