Hi empoyk!

 

Please check the version of Origin installed on your PC. A version later than 3.x is required.

To rectify:

  1. Try to run the client as administrator.
  2. Go to www.origin.com/download
  3. Download and install the latest version of Origin (and make sure you have your Origin account ready as well)

If the autoinstaller started to install the game, you can try to delete the bf bc2 game download files and register key in register (maybe exist).

 

Please let us now, if this problem after this workaround still exist.

Cheers
Basti

Hi, solution for problem is to find and delete Crysis2 key in registry in following path:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/CLASSES/INSTALLER/PRODUCTS/"random_numbers%letters"

 

Best way is to use searcf and look for "crysis"

 

Hope it helps, it worked for me.
