Re: Need a Battlefield 1942 Key to activate the game in Origin

We are getting an 'Invalid Key' error, when joining EA servers on internet Multiplayer. In the old version of BF1942, to sort this out we'd boot up Battlefield 1942_Code.exe to input the key, however for me on Win7 Ultimate x64, this application will not boot up, and apparantly ONLY accepts numbers for serial key too.

Origin currently issues BF1942 keys with letters, as well as numbers.

If I click on "download" I have to launch origin, then to log in. After I have to "activate the product"or to leave. I choose to activate it but I need a serial key.

Hi clivewil2 and drawxy,

Could I ask you to try it directly from within the Origin client again, please?

Launch Origin, go to the store, click on Demos at the top bar and then on the "Get it now" button. From my own experience this should add the game to your library without any further complications.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks.

Hi liquidustalon,

The Studio and the Origin team are looking into this right now, we will update you when we have more information at hand. In the meantime, and if you are a bit tech-savy, you might want to try the workaround posted by ston3cold in this thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-1942/Battlefield-1942-Invalid-Serial-Key/m-p/175664#M50

Thank you for your patience.

2015 and this still is not fixed.

this is why i stopped buying on origin.

After reloading data from my back up HD on to my new HD, I have the game but no key - it seems that I cannot find / access the key and there is no on line help on this free (once paid for) game.  I'd like to start playing again.  Origin, any help??

Well...that was a pleasant surprise - from the EA website, at the bottom of most pages I was able reach support via chat.  They were able to fix the issue on their side after I gave them my correct log on email address.  Since it is a free game, I think they were willing to resolve this issue.  Good customer service for their future games.  Well done EA! 

After phoning at the EA Customer service (in France) they told me I had to have a proof that I downloaded the game when it was released free on Origin in 2012... so no key for me :'(

If anyone from EA can give me a key, my support ticket is

I download the game via 01net site.

"http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Jeux/action/fiches/121241.html"

Battlefield 1942 is a free version

when i try to launch the game using origin , an activation key is requested.

The following message appear: "Pour jouer à DisplayName field missing from registry., vous devez d'abord l'activer sur votre Compte EA"

I need to click on "Activer le jeu"

I don't have any key to type as it is a free version.

The downloaded  file is a ZIP file with auto extract in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942

and the directory contain the BF1942.exe file to be launch using origin

Can you help me? How can I proceed ?

regards

yo bro look at your own topic
