Symptoms

Origin taking 3-4 tries to log in the first time I launch Sims 4 after logging out my computer overnight.

Reproduction

Close steam, log off of my computer account.
Log back in, start steam.
Start sims 4
Origin will not connect, blank error window given. (Usually takes about 3-4 minutes)
Start Sims 4 3-4 times
Origin will eventually log in.

steam-1222670.log

Sims 4 will start.

After Origin connects once, it'll keep connecting every time until I log out of my user account again.

Is this an Origin issue (I've heard it's buggy for Windows users), a network issue, or a proton thing? Reproducable on my end, so I'm thinking it's not an Origin or network issue.

Start with the compatibility report and the attached steam-1222670.log, then reproduce the logout, Steam restart, and Sims 4 launch sequence described in the issue. Compare the first failed Origin connection with later successful launches; the issue is done when the failure is characterized and a specific Proton-side cause or next diagnostic step is established.
