Origin Tips

Workaround for Origin setup

Create a Bottle (I suggest win 10 64 bit) and name it Origin, the name must be exactly Origin no variations or the tip won't work. Download the setup from the ea web site. Now create a blank txt file and open it. Paste this c script:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
system ("mkdir ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin");
while (1)
{
system ("chmod 777 ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin");
}
}

Compile the script with gcc or other c IDEs. Execute the script and run the setup. Select ~/.cxoffice/Origin/drive_c/Origin as destination folder for the setup or the trick won't work. It's gonna take a while after the process is complete you'll see the login screen of origin you can kill the script process after the setup is complete. Remember to run this script every time Origin update itself or you won't be able to run the latest version and use your account online.
