Origin on Mac

[njtransit215]

Anyone else having any problems booting the Origin client now? Mine just stalls at launch, while no windows appear, so I have to force quit it.

Same here on the latest beta. I uninstalled and gave up.

I managed to get it to eventually work by following the steps here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin/ORIGIN-can-not-run-at-Mac-10-9-Beta/m-p/1441750

However SimCity is totally unplayable on my previous generation iMac, the game opens in a tiny window and doesn't seem to detect clicks, looks like it's running at 800x600 or something weird like that.

I tried most of that, but this was added after I read the thread. I will try this:


sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ea.origin.ESHelper.plist
sudo rm -rf /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.ea.origin.ESHelper

Edit: Got it working, but the EA thread says it does not always work. I'm not sure if I will chance buying a game that might work.
Edit 2: It won't relaunch. Seems pretty unstable at this point.

Edit 2: From Their most recent tweet they are aware of the 10.9 issue:

Origin doesn't work with OSX 10.9
We are investigating reports that OSX 10.9 (beta) is incompatible with Origin and SimCity. Please hold for more information.
