origin = win

hmmm, i will try when its finished downloading because i didn't have it installed.

i take it yours is installed in defualt directory and there wasn't anything extra dowloaded? not the orgin games directory.

Same here, Crysis and BF2 aren't being recognised as valid :/
 
I can't get mine to work, I slapped in my serial key from the manual but its showing as invalid, maybe because I've already used it with EADM :(

Yeah, mine is the standard retail version. Origin has automatically found it, and i can start the game from origin and use the overlay etc.

I had the same problem DA:O and ME2 activated but ME1 didn't. Also it wanted me to reinstall all my games through origin. So origin =/= win for me, let me activate all my EA games or GTFO.

Doesn't work for me. You need a separate cd key for vietnam. Entering your standard BC2 key doesn't work.

Whole thing is an anti climax and the op sucks :D;):p

EDIT. Will uninstall and re download and install and see how it goes. Will update if good news.

Wait... You expect them to activate games that probably predate the idea of Origin, most of which probably aren't even on Origin anyway. :confused: I doubt they've even got access to information of keys for games they only published. Unrealistic expectations much? :p

As for the reinstalling, Steam does the same thing. If you have a game installed, then buy or activate it on Steam it doesn't get magically copied over.

Actually DA:O and ME2 recognised my Steam installs but none of my other EA installs (BFBC2, Crysis 2, MoH)...so :confused:

Also if EA want me to get Origin then I want to be able to activate all my EA games on it so I know when I start up if I want to play an EA game then I start up Origin and any other game then I start up Steam. I don't think its an unreasonable request. Shows a lack of devotion from EA. I'm sure they have access to all those keys. What is the point for example of me getting ME2 and ME3 on origin but if I want to play ME1 I have to start up Steam, sounds pretty loopy to me. Or having Crysis 2 on origin but Crysis and Warhead on Steam. They are going to have to try harder than this to become "The no1 digital distribution channel within a year".
