Cannot s

[ButterMyNugger]

Cannot start Mass Effect 3 because of release date check, i cannot even use ORIGIN launcher to use the repair option because I bought it at a goodwill, so its already registered on a different account.

Please help!!!

I did get where you got the game from, but the release date check is not working because the game is not registered to your account.

Again, there is no legal way to get this game working on your account and therefore no way to get it working at all.

I never said anything about purchasing an ORIGIN account? I Just said that bought MASS EFFECT 3 at a goodwill, that games already associated with another ORIGIN account and not mine, so i cant use the repair feature on the ORIGIN launcher. I would like for a solution for my problem

The game is bound to the account it was registered on.

Maybe the person sold it to you was not aware of that, but there is no way to make this game work on your account.

All you can do is ask your money back.

I dont want it registered to my account thats not the issue, the issue is that the release date check fails and i wand a fix.

Can you guys not understand me comments?

And i bought it at a GOODWILL, a thrift shop not an actual person

I have the same issue, however, this has happened because I tried to re-install my game from the original disks I purchased (retail).

Also, in my origin UI after an update, all of the original trilogy games (Mass Effect) disappeared from my games.

If "same issue" means that Origin is telling you that the code is already used, the only explanation is that you used a different account to register the games before.

Same email for 20+ years, so I've got no clue how that would be the case
