Origin Activation Issues - MFPlat.dll Missing

[Straatford87]

Hi everyone,

If you're trying to activate your games on Origin but can't due to a missing MFPlat.dll error, then be sure to install the following Windows update on your system:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3099229/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-and-windows-10-...

This should take care of the error message and will result in activation of the game. 

Game on!

I found the solution for Windows10

First you need to run "winver" to determine your windows version, there are 3 version, 1709,1803 and 1809

Then go this this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack

Choose correct version to download, install it.

Reboot your computer

Now it should work.

That update does not solve my problem at all

Please fix this problem.  I have spent over 12 hours with your sick tech support, with no solutions. I am running Windows Pro, not XP.  I need a solution.  I previously was able to play the game, until Windows 10 Pro ungraded.  I lost two hard drives with that update, because it no longer worked with the operating system. So this may not be a problem with your software, but a problem with Window 10 Pro. I liked your game, but this problem must be resolved. Deleting all software, and reinstalling it still gives the same error.
