    The download version needs to be activated by a SecuROM server. There may be another problem. I recommend uninstlling everything and use a program called cceaner from Piriform and clean the registry. THEN install the base game. Do you have Origin installed and up to date? Open the newly installed base game and let patch. Start the game to live mode. Then install the next released to market pack you own. Open launcher. Let patch. Play to live mode. Next released to market pack you own. And so forth. I'm guessing the game is not patching correctly.
