Battlefield 1 activation

[CaptHilts2017]

Hi, I cannot play Battlefield 1 anymore because when I click on the game it wants me to activate the game using my product code.

I have completed the game and want to play online but cannot.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses and help.

It turns out that I was using the wrong email address that was already in Origin

Thanks

Hello @CaptHilts2017

Have you tried to just uninstall and re-install Battlefield 1? It could just be a simply glitch and this might just do the trick!

Thanks, Zoie

@CaptHilts2017 I've had this issue in the past with other BF titles and this is what corrected the problem. Make sure origin is completely closed, not even minimized in the task tray. Right click the origin icon on your desktop, select "run as administrator". Then right click on BF's icon in your game library, select "repair". After the repair is finished then play. Often the repair won't solve this issue unless origin is being run as an admin so make sure you do that step first.

Hi Ragnarok013,

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I do not have the option of "repair" when I right click the game icon in Origin after following your instructions.

Thanks

Have you tried logging off and back on to origin ?

Hi Z01e,

Thanks for the reply,

Do you know where the save games are stored before I uninstall the game?

Thanks

I backed up my pc a few days ago, and had to use it yesterday and now all my saves are gone from BF1 and won't let my in game cause it keeps asking for activation number whicj I type in and it says it's already used, well yeah by me but there's no info on it.  What happened and how do I get into the game and with all my saves and progression?  I have had a bad week and this just tipped the iceburg
