Origin/BF3 problem please help

[Bramill]

Hi, i recently bought a russian cd key and got the english language files and the game worked fine. However I managed to get an english cd-key from origin because i was worried in the future i might have problems with the russian version.

EA decided would remove the Russian version from my account and give me a new cd-key. However I've deleted the old battlefield and downloaded the EU version and the game won't register it says:

"We could not activate Battlefield 3 on this computer using the Origin Account you provided. please locate your product key to activate the game using your Origin Account."

I've contacted EA via the live help and they've been pretty useless, asking me to restart origin then restart my pc.

Then they said;

"Please uninstall Origin then create a new Admin account on your system Then restart your computer. Login under new admin account. Install origin and game then try to launch the game. It should resolve your issue."

Which also didn't work. Anyone got any ideas? Could it be something I did in the registry when I enabled the english language files for the russian version.

nvm fixed the problem, bloody google, no wonder my post count is so low, I never need to create posts because someone has already had the same problem xD

I Googled the error message and found this fix

1. Make sure you can have show hidden folders enabled and go to

C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License
**Program Data may be a hidden folder on your machine**

2. Delete either 71067.dll or 71069.dll (depending on if you have Limited Edition or Standard)

3. Reboot your machine.

4. Launch Origin

5. Try to launch BF3

The fix above is for anyone who has a valid product key and is getting this message:

"We could not activate Battlefield 3 on this computer using the origin account you provided. Please locate your product key to activate the game using your Origin Account"
