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.
