I take it's trying to connect through Origin right?

It can be a right pain sometimes. I've had it and typically it's cleared by simply making sure Origin is completely closed on your PC (not running the background at all).

Then restart Origin (not via the game) on it's own. Log in.

THen when it's up, try to run your game through steam.

Have you made sure to COMPLETELY shut Origin down in the background by checking through Task Manager? It needs to be completely shut down.

Then you restrt it ALONE (not through Steam).

All you have to do is run the game from your library and ensure your Origin account is hard-linked to your Steam account. You don't even need to be logged into the Origin platform now - it'll simply authenticate your ownership and run the game off Steam and a small Origin auth process that sits in your task manager.

If it's not working, something could be blocking the verification of Origin. This means ensuring Origin is running with administrator privileges plus that the app is completely up to date and isn't being interrupted by a Firewall process.

Yes, I know that.

The problem is that ofttimes when you open a game there's often a communciation problem between steam and origin. I've had it myself a few times.

And that's how I solve it.

Have you tried also removing Origin and resintalling it completely, then going through as I suggested? NOT through steam, but opening it, logging in, leaving it open THEN running steam and the game itself?
