Well this just started recently happening, like today. I would click the exe to start playing and it would start logging me into origin, then nothing! So fine, let me go to the website and log onto a server from there. I get onto a server and all it would say is "Joining server..". That's it! No screen would pop up to allow me to get into the game. I can't play and I would really like some help! Anyone have any suggestions?
