so, i have just bought titanfall 2 and i thought i'd copy the files from a friend who has it to save time on the download. All seems well and titanfall 2 seems to be good as far as the installation goes. the problem is that whenever try to play, i get a window showing that Origin was unable to connect to EA servers to activate the game with my account. i dont know why, is there a problem with copying the game files if i've bought the game? does it relate to my account? i did try to just activate it, but i dont think i got anything like an activation code in my emails.
Solved! Go to Solution.

well damn, i was hoping this was some kind of answer. i hope it's just some sort of server experiencing downtime kind of situation or something.

i dont have any other game aside from titanfall 2, so i cant really test that out. and how do i show you? through screenshots? if you were asking, then yes, i did open it through origin. i tried running by just clicking the shortcut too, but that just opens up origin. i tried playing in offline mode, got prompted for my email and password, and still it failed to activate even with a connection.
i'm also just wondering, i bought a digital copy and all that but, wasnt i supposed to get an activation key with the purchase as well?

Regarding CD Keys: it's an automatic process. During the purchase transaction, the code is registered to your player account.

@clamy24 Hi, we have a bunch of free games, you could try grabbing one of them as a test. If download limits are a concern you may be prevented from doing this.
Can you try repairing the game and try to launch again? If you right-click the game panel in Origin you should get the repair option.
As gorath says, you don't get a discrete code, the "game owned" token is added to your account when you purchase the game.

well, i copied my friend's download because i didnt have enough data to download it myself. i think i barely have enough data in a month to download the current free game.
i did try repairing. and it did so just fine. i tried updating as well. but it seems both didnt work.

i just found out today that my friend, who bought need for speed just last night, is also having the same problem as me. i dont know if this actually helps.
