@Psycho-Vario, thanks for sharing. Same issue. I didnt use Steam tho. I got the game from retail box ( from a store you know, not digital). I used Origin as well. You can see in my account how i unlocked every single weapon and thing from the game.
Yet, the EA app keeps telling me that i didnt buy the game, to enter the CD key bla bla. I click enter CD key... and what? Nothing? It either keeps saying your net is down, or it crashes the app. Fun.
I just tried it 5 seconds ago, i don't have net huh? So what is this then? How am i writing this? Hey EA btw ;p I got no net and yet somehow i'm here! MAGIC!Anyways, i own the game, its in my list of owned games, the expansions are also there in the DLC window. I even see my CD key when i right click on the game. Funny, cus the app wants that exact same CD key before i can join a game on Battle log...
I feel this is an APP issue. Never had this problem with Origins before. I guess they never bothered to make the new app work with the old games and battlelog... Why did we even need a new app? The old one was great and functional. The new 1? Not so much.. it does look good tho. Yay? Usable>Looks.
Found this thread, because I did want to play a round BF3. Did not even know that Origin was discontinued.....
All games work with this new EA App (stupid name BTW), except BF3. The want a CD Key, but the game is since 2011 in my library! and I still have the original DVD Box with the key. But i cant play the game.
Simple solution for EA: Give us a new key for our existing account.
EDIT:
For now: this work - at least for the moment
