An error has occurred while trying to process your request.

Hey, I recently bought a physical copy of Battlefield 3 from Walmart for PC. I came home excited to play the amazing multiplayer and put in the key. I then got "An error has occurred while trying to process your request. Please, try again later." I've now put the key in 30+ times and I'm getting quite frustrated with Origin. Any help at all would be appreciated!

    Hey @SharkPouch

    If you've already tried that many times then the next step would be to speak with one of our game advisers so they can take a further look into the account/code and see what's happening. If you have a screenshot/picture of the receipt that would be great too as it might be required.

    To contact an adviser please follow the steps below: 

    1. Click on the following link: http://help.ea.com/ (once there make sure that your country is correctly select in top left hand corner of Help.EA.com)
    2. Make sure you are logged in (top right corner) and select 'Help with Game'
    3. Find the affected game (if it's an account issue select Origin)
    4. Select 'Contact Us' at the bottom right on the new page
    5. Select your platform and then 'Next' 
    6. Select topic from the drop down menus, type in a short description of your issue and select 'Next'.
    7. Select a contact option. Please note that available contact options do depend on your country settings and time of day.

    Let us know how you get on.

    When you get that error the only thing that you can do is keep trying to redeem the code since it seems the origin servers may be busy with the $10 Battlefield sale going on.

    Ok I've clicked the next button 200+ times, it gives  me the same error message every time. Getting really frustrated with Origin right now.

  • Any help at all would be amazing at this point, I've lost track of how many times I clicked that next button... Please anyone help me, I just wanna play Battlefield 3.

  • Hey guys, thanks for all your help in the past few days, I talked to EA support and evidently my code was invalid, so they gave me a 50% off coupon code for origin to buy Battlefield 3

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 3, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
