    Origin Beta Update Includes Achievement Tracking, Broadcast Archives, and More

    Those of you running the beta client for Origin may notice a few new changes in the latest update to version 9.2.1. First off, changes were made to the Application Settings menu.

    Next, PC users will notice that you can now auto-archive your broadcast if you happened to have made use of the built in broadcasting tool within Origin. The beta also now includes a multilauncher that will give you additional launch options if you have a 64-bit machine and a game that makes use of 64-bit hardware.


    The last big addition is an achievement tracker. So far only three games are supported: Dead Space 3, Mass Effect 3, and Battlefield 3. The achievement tracker will show you the progress you've made in each game. The total number of achievement points that you've earned will show up underneath your username in the main Origin window.

    You can always opt-in or out of the beta by selecting the option for it in the Origin Application Settings menu. Once selected, restart your client and you'll download the latest beta update.

    The only problem I really see with this is that it also includes the achievements for DLC you don't own. They actually factor in those achievement points and count into your personal count, which seems absurd.

      Noticed it yesterday but thought I missed it for a while.
      I wonder about the points: are those equivalent to MS point on XBLA ?

        No. MS Points are currency. These are just achievement points, same as achievement points on Steam and the Xbox 360.
