Re: Steam Product Code For Origin

I tried all of that and Origin is never asking me to link an account. I only have 1 origin account an 1 steam account and its not asking for a link or a steam login

i have Windows 10. And mine does this


1. Buy the game on steam
2. Download/Install on Steam
3. Start the game on steam
4. Prompt to login with your Origin account
5. Login
6. Ask for Activation and a Product Code. 
7. No play for me

no the only thing that is there is my PSN account from back in PS3 days. Steam isn't getting linked. 

yes i have and EA is blaming Steam and Steam is blaming EA.......... 

Could it be something with a download issue? how Origin and or the game are not downloading into the right place and origin looking for a file that it can't find cause of it downloading wrong. 

yes its the same email and it's download to the same hard drive (Which is my gaming hard drive) (game and origin and steam) 

 this is the debug text that i keep getting in the Origin file 

[0702/100923:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale
[0702/100923:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale
[0702/100923:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

yes i have tried that already @crinrict. I tried signing out, closing everything on steam and origin, ending the task in task manager, launch steam in admin mode and it still didnt matter. i kept getting the same issues i was having when origin asking for a code. Did nothing different. 

there no CD Key. I wish it was just easy. 

i just sent Steam a refund request. I can't get this to work and this shouldn't be all this hard for the game to work and  I'm tried of Origin vs. Steam fight and ill just get a refund and when Sims gets released on sale on Humble Bundle or Origin ill rebuy it and just deal with it then. I'm not spending $40 on it on origin when steam as it for $20 but sadly for whatever reason mine not working when using steam and Steam just can't give me a code and be done with it.  

Thank you to all for the help and sadly this issue isn't and I don't think it will ever be. But thank you to the ones that help and tried. I deeply appreciate it.

I pretty much had the same problem with you. I buy The Sims 4 on Steam, when I try to run it, it requires Origin to be installed and it prompted/asked my The Sims 4 Product Key (which I do not have from Steam). Think starting a game you properly buy shouldn't be this hard ☹️

Yes. I just bought the base game from Steam. However,  I need to update this. Just before, I managed to play the game, like 1 hour ago.

Here is what happen:

I try to restart my computer, then click play from Steam.

Origin prompted, give me error message "Origin encountered an issue loding this page. Pls try reloading it - id that doesn't work, restart the client or try again later."

I ignore it, proceed to close Origin and click Play The Sims 4 again on Steam. This time, the game started.

I do not know exactly what's happened, but I think there's stability issue from Origin ☹️ 

I'm also having the same issue with other steam/origin games. Both Origin, steam, and the game are on the same drive. I have no VPN and I've reinstalled both more times than I can count. Support has been not help for over a week at this point. @EA_Atic 

Can confirm that worked for me. I was having the same issue. It seems like both steam and origin accounts must be using the same email.

Hi! I have a fix that may work for you (it worked for me). Go into Origin -> Library->Find your game->Right click->Game Properties->uncheck the option "Enable Origin In Game for *your game* ->save. You will have to download the game again to a different folder. I haven't checked if it works if I delete the game from my steam library. Good Luck!

This was the fix for me. Many thanks.

What has worked for me was verifying files of Titanfall 2 on Steam, it will say all files are there. BUT when you launch titanfall 2 after this it will start reinstalling with Origin connectivity in the files fixing it. That is what worked for me and what I saw occur. Hope this helps others where these fixes didn't.
