Re: Dead Space 2 does not appear in Origin's my games

From where was your Product Code for this game purchased?

    I have this same issue. Purchased the DVD game from Amazon as I have a monthly internet cap so purchase the on disk version vs downloads.

     How does one get it into Origin? I have a PC at the home and a PC at another location. I have a feeling if I can not get it installed in Origin I will be limited to the one PC, rather have it on both as I travel between the two for long periods of time.

    "So long as you are logging in with the same Origin account you can play on more than one machine."

     I would think so if it actualy was installed in Origin but it is not. It is not recognized and is played as an attached game. I can launch and play the game with out being signed into Origin.

     I uninstalled the game and unvalidated the code and tried to launch it in Origin and it comes up as already used.

    Other games I have and installed via disk attached into Origin with no issue. They are Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Need for speed The Run and Dragon Age Inquisition. Dead Space 2 is the odd duck.

     I plan to try re-installing Dead Space 2 today while being logged into Origin and see if that works.

  • Hi

    I purchased Dead Space from a local game store. The fine print says you need an EA Account.

    I have the same problem with Dragon Age Origins Collectors Edition, in the fine print this one requires EA Online Account. This game came with codes for Downloadable content:

    Three Items - Bergen's Honor - Final Reason - Grimoire of the Frozen Wastes

    Fury of Shale

    Blood Dragon Armor (This also gives this armor in Mass Effect 2)

    When entering the code for the armor I got a message 'this code can only be redeemed once' or something like that. Am I able to get this armor after reinstalling the game as I have on this new machine? When upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows XP I had to perform a clean install of Windows 8 and had to reinstall all my software updating to Windows 8 versions as I went.

  • Update:

    Dragon Age Origins is now in my Origin game list. I followed advice in this tread about redeeming the code through Origin.

    Dead Space 2 and the extra's from Dragon Age Origins still come up as 'all ready redeemed'. I assume this is because they were redeemed through EA accounts.

    Am I able to access my EA account through Origin so I can get the extra's in the current installation?
