IMPORTANT: Procedure for gamecode and account issues

[ Edited ]

Hi all!

 

I merged several topics regarding key validation issues to this topic.

 

Please get sure that you download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well). If that doesn’t helped, close the origin client and go directly to you origin folder  C:\Program Files\Origin Games. Run the origin.exe in this folder with a rightclick -> run as administrator. 

 

If you still have issues with the validation of your game-key, you need to contact your retailer first. If your retailer can’t replace your invalid key, please contact EA-Support. Be prepared to verify your email address, date of birth or any other personally identifiable information on your account.

 

We don't support the STEAM service, if you have any issue with validating keys there, please contact STEAM-Support.

 

Please keep in mind that you should never post private information (e-mail address, bank information, real name etc.) in a public board.

 

Cheers

Basti

Hello,

Maybe you should have read the first post of this thread before posting. As we do not have access to accounts on AHQ, we are not able to assist in account and gamecode related issues.

My game has been stolen/hijacked/hacked !  When I try to launch BFBC2 on Steam, with a new password (since the old password has been compromised), and my Steam "Product Code" , ******** , I get, "The register code is already in use".

 

What information do you need from me to reinstate that game back to me?

 

Thank you,

Looks like you have forgot the login information of the account through which you have registered it .. no need to worry contact EA Customer Care .. they have tools to check that code and tell you the account associated with it ..  and once you verify it you are good to go ..
