Re: Steam game removed from libary after linking same game from Epic Games

@TheGooseShot I can see my three versions of the game on Origin.com, but not in the Origin Client.
I tried uninstalling the Epic Games Client and reinstalled my Battlefront 2 via Steam, but when I launch it via Steam I still get the same error message.

Well we can't play through Steam until this is fixed. You can play Epic version if you want.

Same here. When I launch the game via Steam I get the unindentified game activation problem. And my Origin library also says I own the Epic version. I am able to launch my Steam installation both via Origin and Epic launcher though (without the need for Steam launcher). I wonder, is it even possible to own the same game bought on different platforms on the same Origin account? Or am I just lost in all the platforms, launchers I own? Standard smile EDIT: Now I can see both versions in my origin library via origin.com website.

Hey everyone, 

 

We are looking into the issue if you own the game on Steam and then add it on EPIC. 

 

No new updates with me but we are still investigating the issue. 

 

Marking this as solved just to highlight that its being investigated.

Same here. I can only open the game through Epic, but when I open it up, all of the skins are gone. I also use sometimes some mods for character appearance, but it also is broke since I added it on Epic Games.

how can I delete it from Epic and Get it back on steam again?

I own the game on both Steam and EpicGames, I got it on Steam first, however when I try to launch the game on either platform I get the same message asking for an activation code. I have both my Steam and EpicGames accounts linked to Origin. To my knowledge neither use activation codes anymore which means I'm not able to play the game. I have tried to find a way to get the code but nothing has worked as of yet.

Battlefront 2 Epic games error( Origin and Origin Beta can't run simultaneously)

★ Novice

So I got Battlefront 2 free on Epic Games but I can't install it. I have Origin and EA Beta app, both of them on my pc, and when I try to install it it shows me this error.

I closed both apps and 2 procceses running in background( 1 for each app) and it still shows this error.
So how do I solve this problem?
Thank you for every answer!

 

P.S: Now I see I can't open Origin, not from search bar or apps from windows button, but I can see it is installed from Comand Control)
