Origin is an intuitive and functional download client that eases game downloading.
Origin is a distribution platform for online games offered by Electronic Arts.
This program is a utility for downloading games on the site of the same name. It allows to buy and download games of users choice in a fast and simple way. To do this, Origin requires only one condition: be a member of the platform by creating an account.
Origin provides direct access to the online store to the games already acquired by the player and on any PC. EA catalog has a clear, friendly and neat interface. For games already purchased user can re- download and reinstall if necessary.
Electronic Arts does not forget the social aspect to share his experience playing with his friends outside or in the (in- game) game.
What makes this more handy utility that using a CD or DVD is that it eliminates common concerns relating to removable devices such as scratches, discs and other disused. User will not have problems or updates or losses serial numbers since they will be stored in his Origin account.
Text-to-speech is now available for Origin chat messages.
The Origin game launcher got a tune-up so now launching games is smooth like butter.
Origin no longer crashes if you open and close Farming Simulator 17 or Syberia 3 multiple times in the span of a few minutes. So click away.
Origin used to be convinced that you would never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever change your mind when you declined a party invite so it would deactivate the Join party and game and Join party buttons. We took away its button-breaking privileges.
We tuned Origin's focus capacitors so it stops zoning out and forgetting to process in-game purchases.
About to miss the bus? Need to leave for work? Discover that the aliens are homing in on your position and you wont let them take you alive? Now Origin always closes when you tell it to and does it faster, so you can shut your computer down and get the heck out of here.
Your real name will now appear on any gifts you send if you set it up that way, so you get full credit for how freaking awesome you are.
Really love Ubisoft? THQ Nordic? Some revolutionary indie publisher only you know about? Now you can click on the name of the publisher on a game page and go somewhere only the two of you exist.
Origin was trying to start drama by telling players that their friends were revoking game invites, when really their friends had just left the games they were playing. We had a talk with it and it's very sorry.
The base game should always be at the top of the download queue, but sometimes DLC would get a little unruly and cut in line. "But we have friends at the top of the queue," they said. "Back of the line," we replied.
Now when you try to friend someone after reaching the maximum, Origin will helpfully pull up your friend list so you can see if you want to swap your new buddy in. Also, 2000 friends? How are you this popular?
Some people hate spiders. Our system apparently hates a trailing parenthesis in game install paths. Seemed kind of silly to us - when's the last time you walked into a trailing parenthesis web, or had a trailing parenthesis drop out of the sky onto your head? That's right, never. We put 'em back in. The parentheses, not the spiders. *shudder*.
We figured you want to see the whole web sign-in window when you go to use it, not just parts. So we made the frame bigger.
Until now, resizing your browser window while in your game library broke your ability to add new games. We figure you like buttons that work, so we fixed that.
