Origin Error, Can't Play The Game

[Glocktopus]

Everytime I start the game, an origin screen pops up with:
{"error":"500 Internal Server Error"}

Anyone else?

EA and their origin mess is faulty as usual, your just gonna have to sit and wait patiently untill they fix their ♥♥♥♥

Steam should require that single player game license validation should be secondary to game launch, as they can self validate the serial number. If you need to post serials to satisfy origin fine, but it shouldn't inhibit game launch.

Well, that's Origin for you...

I could be anything. But I would start with resetting user-defined settings in my mainbrowser.

Here's what worked for me:
Disable your internet connection
Launch the game

You can still sign in to your origin account while your PC is disconnected from the internet, but since you're not connected, it doesn't actually try to reach out to origin's servers. So you can play the game offline. Then re-enable your internet and have a good time.
