Support NeoGAF

[Nokagi]

I could've sworn I saw a version of Sims 3 at a regular price of $19.99, but looking through the storefront once again I guess not? Using the Slick Deals link in the op brings Sims 3 to $12, though. That's not bad. I think Sims 3 + Pets is $20. If you really want Sims 3, I'd go with that and then use the coupon on some Stuff Packs or the premium towns.

Sims 2 Double Deluxe is good, too. No reason to not get it if you want it - unless you want something else more.

Yeah I couldn't get any of the Sims 3 games working so I went for that Sims 2 Double Deluxe. Thanks for the help.

 

[Cystm]

I now have Origin installed on my PC, well played EA.

 

[sgi02]

Picked up Dragon Age Origins and NFS Hot Pursuit! Thanks a million GAF <3

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

So, I've heard that a lot of Origin games don't even need you to use Origin once they are installed. Is there any list of the games that DO use Origin for DRM? I'd like to install the games I got that don't need it then uninstall the program itself.

Uh, the ones I know of are Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and FIFA 12.

 

[jmizzal]

:O is this still working

Its still going on? LMAO what is EA doing hahaha

 

[Grassy]

Not much apparently! lol

get dem free games

 

[AutumnAve]

I was just able to get one game. Thanks EA.

 

[Psychoward]

So how do I get out of the activation loop for Dead Space 2?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Can you install DAO on one account then install DAO Awakening on another?

 

[alazz]

So has EA said anything about this? Has anyone related to EA issued a response? They're clearly aware of it. I'm very curious about all of this.

Ok I already own Crysis 1 and Warhead, Dead Space 1 and 2, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Mirrors Edge, Alice, and Shift 2. Can anybody recommend a good non-racing single player game? Not Medal of Honor. Played that at a friends house and it was Tier 1 Trash.

Bulletstorm is marvelous.
Command & Conquer 3 has fun and lengthy campaigns.
Dragon Age Origins is pretty good.

 

[wilflare]

can't seem to get SHIFT 2 lol

 

[Wario64]

So how do I get out of the activation loop for Dead Space 2?

I have an activation loop for NFS Hot Pursuit. Please let em know if you know a fix

 

[SapientWolf]

How many of those orders had working activation codes? Makes you wonder who's really getting suckered here.

 

[AutumnAve]

Okay. I had a second EA account tied to my PS3, so I logged in aaand now I'm the owner of Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II.

 

[Troll]

Can I create different accounts to use the code more than once?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Can I create different accounts to use the code more than once?

Yes.

 

[AutumnAve]

Can I create different accounts to use the code more than once?

I did. Well, to be precise, I already had a second account, it worked twice for me.

 

[Ran rp]

Gfwl is going to make me chuck my laptop. I just want to play bulletstorm ffs.

 

[Tevious]

Gfwl is going to make me chuck my laptop. I just want to play bulletstorm ffs.

When I try to launch it, I just get a GFWL window that says they must verify the release date for the game and to make sure I have an internet connection. Its just stuck there.

 

[AutumnAve]

Jeez, this gfwl thing sounds awful. Thankfullt Super Street Fighter 4 is the only game I have to deal with that awful thing, Only lost my save file once...lol.

 

[Prelithe]

How many of those orders had working activation codes? Makes you wonder who's really getting suckered here.

Only took advantage with 2 games, but with Dead Space 2 I was able to activate it and it worked first time.

 

[goodfella]

Just downloaded firefox for this. Don't remember it ever being this slow, wow.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Can I create different accounts to use the code more than once?

the real question is if I contact EA support, will they move my games from my alts into my main account?

 

[Santini]

When I try to launch it, I just get a GFWL window that says they must verify the release date for the game and to make sure I have an internet connection. Its just stuck there.

Hit Enter on your keyboard.

There's supposed to be a Confirm box or something, but you can't see it, and hitting Enter works just as well!

 

[Wario64]

EA chat gave me a 2nd code to use. It still didn't work

 

[Ran rp]

I can launch the game but it won't let you play without updating the game and Gfwl keeps saying it can't update.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Nice! Got Crysis. Tried to get Walking Dead for $5 but didn't work. I'll just get it on a Steam sale later for about the same price.

 

[Tevious]

@Santini
Thanks.

I can launch the game but it won't let you play without updating the game and Gfwl keeps saying it can't update.

It is currently updating for me. 50% right now. Unless, you mean it fails at some point.

 

[Codeblue]

Try moving it from one alt to the other and see if they ban the accounts. I think it would be pretty funny if you asked.

 

[Ran rp]

@Santini
Thanks.

It starts for a few seconds then it gives me an error message.

 

[Psychoward]

I have an activation loop for NFS Hot Pursuit. Please let em know if you know a fix

I just tried a complicated fix that involved me clearing most of my task manager, and restarting my pc. Needless to say, it didn't work. This time I'm asking for a voucher.

 

[Joe Molotov]

OMG, stop devaluing gaming, guys!

 

[Santini]

re: Bulletstorm install/updating on PC

Apart from hitting Enter on the keyboard at the release date verification window, I:

-was running the game on Windows 7/64-Bit
-ran the Bulletstorm .exe file as Administrator
-already had GFWL installed from a previous game (Arkham City, in my case)

After the game updated, I had to update the game as well as the GFWL client, both of which went without a hitch.

Don't know if this info helps, but that was my particular situation. Good luck!

 

[Psychoward]

contacted support again, now it's just stuck at syncing cloud data...

I get rid of cloud storage... AND THERE IT IS AGAIN

 

[Mikeside]

I managed to get Medal of Honor and Need For Speed: HP out of this, plus The Saboteur on my other account, but it won't let me get anything else.

Thanks EA!

Wish I'd got MoH Airborne, not MoH: Tier Shite in retrospect

 

[Sushigod7]

Almost got it to work with Shank 2 and Gatlin Gears then kicked me out now says invalid code. I'll keep trying good to see it's still working for some.

 

[Wario64]

I just tried a complicated fix that involved me clearing most of my task manager, and restarting my pc. Needless to say, it didn't work. This time I'm asking for a voucher.

I uninstalled and redownloaded my game and that didn't work. Also reinstalled Origin as asked by the EA help rep. No go.

 

[Cystm]

Is the code not even registering for anyone else?

 

[Psychoward]

I uninstalled and redownloaded my game and that didn't work. Also reinstalled Origin as asked by the EA help rep. No go.

I've done everything the 2 reps have told me to do, and none of it worked. Of course, all of them involved closing out of origin so now i can't talk to the same people to get a code.

It's also like a 22 minute wait time to talk to another rep.

 

[Bigdrbingo]

Picking up Bulletstorm right now, but the Origin site is REALLY slow. Is it slow for anyone else?

Same for me except that I never had a GFWL game.

Yes, extremely slow, I feel like I'm on Dial-up again.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yes

 

[alazz]

Yes, the Origin site is dial up-slow the majority of the time I've connected to it. Most surprisingly though is that it always loaded faster on IE 8 than on Chrome and Firerfox lol.

Hot Pursuit and Shift 2 worked for me.

 

[GKB]

Only managed to get ME2, after that i keep getting invalid promo code, ah well.

It actually loaded faster on my Vita than anything else.

 

[Xyber]

So after getting payment authorization failed all night, my purchase of DA: Origins Awakening finally went through!

 

[firehawk12]

So wait, this is still working?

Or is it only working on certain games? The code itself did nothing when I tried it.

 

[Exile550]

Can I get the sims 3 stuff packs on one account and install it even if my sims 3 base game is on an other account?
