I'm confused. There are old threads mentioning that Origin updates had broken their patch process, but apparently the bugs were subsequently fixed (WineHQ and CrossOver). I just installed Origin to a new bottle, but it also fails at the patch update.
I tried one of the mentioned workarounds (copying files from an Application Data directory to Program Files), but it still doesn't work for me. Is this a brand new bug, a still existing one, or PEBCAK? Is Origin working for other people?
