Origin down?

[Rhezuss]

Any of you have been disconnected from Origin and can't reconnect? Happened to me while I was playing DA:I saying I lost connection to the servers...

Plus the new "Online login is currently unavailable"

Now I can't reconnect.

They are being DDoS'd by a hacker group.

This is what I'm reading looking for information on this down time.

The future of AAA "single player" games. :|

I just had trouble logging in, but after it failed, it showed me a loggin screen to Origins, I typed in my password and I got in the game. At the menu in game, it said I was not logged in, but I was still able to select continue and play.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Some foreign loser with no life always has to ruin it for everybody else. I can't even download the game.

Seem to be back now but with Cloud Synching problems.

Got into SWTOR/Shadowlands and played for awhile. Ping showed as 19ms but it was seriously laggy bordering on unplayable.

When Steam is down you can still play games offline.

They must have changed how that works at some point. I was unable to log in last evening, but I simply hit "Cancel Cloud Sync" and the game (DA:I) launched like normal. I got a warning once I was in the game that I was not connected to the Origin servers, but I was still able to play. I never changed my status to offline.

 

[Rhezuss]

Yep games will launch normally but you'll have to load a save from your PC, not that bad. But some games with exclusive or Deluxe editions stuff sometimes won't load or won't show those items in your games...

But looks like all was back to normal yesterday evening.

That explains why I was experiencing so much lag on XB1 version of BF4 yesterday.
