Re: Battlefield 3, BOUGHT via Steam or EA app, Keeps Asking For A Product Key

Hello folks,

I don't want to advertise VU (Venice Unleashed) here and I would have preferred it if EA had solved this problem on its own in the period of more than a month now. But they didn't and once again you could only hope and in this case count on the community. VU is a launcher similar to Northstar for Titanfall 2. Only with VU nothing is changed in the game itself and you can still start it without VU. You can even launch it from the EA app and from Steam just like the desktop shortcut. Unfortunately, it is not enough to just install the VU client to fix the activation error. In order to finally get rid of this, you have to start the VU client once with your EA user data in the "launch arguments" behind the .exe - in the link. Here is the point where everyone has to consider whether to enter them there. I reluctantly did it to try. It works and Battlefield 3 runs as described above.

[FIX] We could not activate Battlefield 3 on this computer using the EA Account you provided. :: Battlefield 3™ Allgemeine Diskussionen (steamcommunity.com)

Here is the link to the detailed description with video on Steam.

EDIT: Because of the password thing. I changed it after activation with the VU Client and everything still works.

Best regards

EA app is in a running state. When I start the Battlefield 3 EA app tries to start again, it turns out the EA app starts 2 times. you can see it in the screenshot
