April 2018
So I leaned that Origin holds all 3 Mass Effect main trilogy games in one nice little bundle and Steam doesn't. Cool.
So I go and purchase said bundle, installs correctly and all and now I have the first game installed and ready to play on my computer.
"Sign in with your EA Account to activate this game on your computer"
Really... I bought the game, I'm already signed into my Origin client and it's all ready to go. I STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS?!?!?
Whatever. I put in my E-mail and Password. Box goes away but nothing happens.
I try it 6 more times, same thing over and over. IT WON'T LET ME PLAY MY GAME I SPENT MONEY ON BECAUSE THIS ACTIVATION BOX WON'T WORK OR GO THROUGH
So I comb the Forums and find out I need to set the Client and games as Administrator (Which I set and Apply) and give exceptions. But I'm not given any clear way on how to allow exceptions. (I'm not a Computer Wizard, and I like to have some direction besides given some basic wordings and a pat on the back.)
Needless to say, my enthusiasm and enjoyment is crushed because I can't even play my game.
But I still REALLY want to play Mass Effect again, on the PC now. Please, how do I fix this? Thanks.
