2. Once you’re inside the programs and Features list, scroll down through the list of applications and locate the Origins app. Once you see it, right-click on it and choose Uninstall.

   

3. Follow the on-screen prompts inside the uninstallation wizard to remove Origin from your computer.
4. When the process is complete, restart your computer.
5. Once the next startup sequence is complete, visit this link (here) and download the Origin installer. After you select the Windows platform, wait for the installer to download.

Method 2: Forcing Origin to open with admin rights

Some Windows users that have been struggling to resolve this particular issue have reported that for them, the error code was being thrown due to a permission issue. As it turns out, Origin might end up the 32768211 error because the game installer doesn’t have admin access to override or copy some of the files required by some games.

If this scenario is applicable, you will be able to resolve the issue by configuring your Origin shortcut (or executable) to launch with administrative privileges. Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

1. Make sure that the Origin Store is close (check your tray-bar menu).
2. Right-click on the main Origin executable and choose Properties from the context menu.
3. Once you’re inside the Properties screen, select the Compatibility tab and check the box associated with Run this program as an administrator.
4. Click on Apply to save the current configuration.

If the error is still occurring, move down to the next method below.

Method 3: Downloading in Safe Mode

Some affected users have reported that the issue was resolved entirely after they changed their approach and put the Origin client into Safe Mode downloading mode before attempting to re-download the game that was previously failing with the 32768211 error.

After doing this and restarting the client, most affected users have reported that the issue was resolved and the download & installation completed without issues.

Here’s a quick guide on setting your Origin client to Safe Mode downloading:

1. Open the Origin Store by double-clicking the executable.
2. Inside the main menu of Origin, click on your account name in the bottom-left section of the screen and choose Application Settings from the newly appeared drop-down menu.
3. From the Application Settings screen, select the Diagnostics tab and scroll down to the Troubleshooting section.
4. Next, enable the toggle associated with Safe mode downloading.
5. After you see the “Changes Saved” success message, close the Origin client.
6. Right-click on the Origin executable and choose Run as Administrator to ensure that the store has admin access.
7. Re-download the game that was previously producing the 32768211 error and see if the issue has been resolved.

If the issue is still not resolved, move down to the next method below.

Method 4: Disabling Firewall (Windows or 3rd Party) while the game is downloading

If you’ve come this far without a result, one popular fix that might be effective in your situation is to disable the firewall solution that you currently have active while Origin is downloading the game. Several users in this exact scenario have reported that the game downloaded without the 32768211 error while the Firewall was disabled.

This solution is confirmed to work with both Windows Firewall and several other 3rd party solutions. As it turns out, certain games (particularly titles from the Battlefield series) contain some read-only files that have the potential of being blocked).

Note: If you’re using a 3rd party solution, search online for specific steps on disabling your antivirus.

Here’s a quick guide on disabling the Windows Firewall and allow the game to install without issues:

1. Close the Origin client completely (make sure the program is not open inside the tray-bar).
2. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “ms-settings:windowsdefender” and press Enter to open up the Windows Security tab of the Settings app.

   

3. Once you get inside the Windows Security tab, go to the Protection areas tab and click on Firewall & network protection.

5. Once you get to the next screen, simply disable the toggle associated with Windows Defender Firewall. When prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), click Yes to grant administrative privileges.

   

6. When the active firewall has been disabled, open the Origin client and re-download the game that was previously failing.
7. If the download completes without issues and the game is successfully installed, re-follow steps 2 to 5 to enable the firewall again to avoid leaving your system vulnerable to virus infections.
