Dragon Age Origins DisplayName error

★★★★ Novice

Hi! My Origin copy of Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition just downloaded and installed a 500+mb update automatically and since then it wont start..... Error message reads"We could not activate DisplayName field missing from registry on this computer.Please locate your product key to activate the game using your Origin Account."....... but im always logged into Origin client and i only have one account. When i put in the product key it says,"...The product key entered cannot be used to activate this game

There's a stickied thread at the top of the forum, something like 'Dragon Age has been fine for months' - It's being regularly updated by EA who are going to tell us there as and when a fix is available Standard smile

Doesn't work - once it's borked, it's borked. Trust me, the EA advisor had me trying everything under the sun this morning!

Like I above, I tried it, but I get an error then and a request to re-install from the game itself, then when I let origin update the game I return to getting the current error, so like said above once it's borked it's borked..
