I need help with Origin

[PrimeMinister]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with Origin. And what infuriates me most is, is that this problem only affects 2 of my games that require Origin (Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Dead Space 3 respectively). The rest of the games I have that requires Origin to work, works without problems. These 2 games REFUSE to boot/start and to add insult to injury, sometimes via some miracle the games work but then the next time I try to play the game, once again the games refuse to boot... I don't know what I should do anymore. Keep in mind, that I launch all of them from Steam and not Origin itself. What could I do to solve this?

Things I've tried:
Reinstalling the games
Verifying game files
Running the EXEs with admin rights
Deleting specific things like deleting shader caches, etc and verifying the game files afterwards.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Kind Regards
PrimeSteak

1. Try check Window Event Log, sometime you can see what happened there. 

2. Close MSI Afterburner.

Ok, so after scrounging around the internet for help, I got a solution to the problem.

Clearing Origin Cache:

Also adding the exe of the game to my antivirus' advanced exceptions helped.

After I did these things, the game finally launched.

What Anti-Virus? Microsoft Defender?

I have this issue with a couple of C&C games on Origin (Generals and Red Alert 2). My workaround is to close all references to Origin in task manager and then relaunch the game. This usually works, clearing the Origin cache never worked for me.
