Origin just updated, and when I went to play (I usually play offline), it wouldn't let me, and next minute my game began repairing.
Once it was done, it still wouldn't let me go offline to play, and it wanted to update to the new patch.
It's now repairing again!
Anyone else have this happen?

Origin is doing the same for me. When I open up it immediately starts repair, although I thought it was updating. For once I want to postpone a sims 4 update indefinitely and now this.
On top of that all my games are just blanc boxes, I can't click on play. I read someone else had this and had to restart their pc but that didn't fix it for me.
Something like that happened to me a while ago. Somehow some of my game data disappeared, but a repair game and complete restart fixed it.
I thought that had been due to a AVG Tune Up program I had installed which deleted parts of some files. It hasn't happened since.
So I don't know what all this is about.
Not sure if it's actually downloading the new patch, which I also didn't want, or just repairing again.
This could be a LONG afternoon!
I was going to repair because the game wouldn't launch, but it did the repair automatically.
I didn't want the latest update either but it's done now.

Ahh, so it's not just me.
All's fine now, although I got stuck on a loading screen, so don't know if that's a side effect from the patch I didn't want! *rolls eyes*
Now I know why everyone's complaining about the changes to the mobile phone. It's not an improvement at all!
Let us know how you go!
This happened for me as well, but I had a desktop icon to fall back on. The game ran ok, Origin wasn't trying to update as far as I could tell. It does seem insistent on ramming the EA launcher down my throat though.
EDIT
Hitting Control+R if you have that screen with blank areas instead of games to click on may work. Alternatively the option is in the "Origin" menu, about halfway down the list. (Reload Page)
Same here. I can't start the game for it always starts repairing again when I switch to online-mode
I have started and restarted my game tonight, just to see if i have any issues, but it seems to have settled down now.
Will check my work laptop tomorrow to see if the issue arises there too.
I survived
for now at least
i did have the origin update which i accepted
it did that twice which was kinda strange but oh well
i had few seconds of origin showing blank squares instead of games but when i reloaded the page they were all there safely
I did update the patches when those dropped though so that may have spared me actual trouble
aand game seemed to run normally when i went in
hopefully i won't run into trouble later but i shall post if i do

Thank you that might work, but in the app I can't bypass the update. I will be stuck with the last update I have been avoiding due to bugs and glitches with it. Then when the issue with orgin is fixed I will have the patch installed. So if anyone can please find a way for me to play via origin again I would so appreciate it. Thank you again so much maggiemae8135. I will keep this option available if I get desperate enough lol.
THANK YOU !!!!!!
Go figure that one out!
I have the blank boxes on this computer which others say they've had. My home computer didn't have that.
Such an eventful day! Drama and more drama! I'm in the process of repairing, and it's kind of exciting not knowing whether I will be able to play my game anymore this week, or not... This might become more intense entertainment than the game itself, lol.
Yup! I just launched the installation of the EA app thingamajig in the same time as repairing my game... and its telling me to shut down origin! I can already see a conflict brewing 🤯
Game updated fine on second laptop. And thanks to read here about the reload page in Origin, all my game pictures are back again.
This is all so traumatic!
How did it vanish? Did it come back?
It vanished when i went from playing offline, to going online to goto the gallery ! Poof...
Loading game now. Not sure what bugs I should worry about, is there anything particular I should look for, or avoid even? I guess there's something about wants/fears that is easy to locate, if the thing was patched...
