ok finished a clean install and downloaded the game. Tried to launch it and got this message. I got this message only once after that when I try to start the game it has been doing what others have described in the forum. The Orginwill hang when you click on Battlefield 5 -> Origin will go away -> Then come back like nothing happened.

This is odd given I am using the same machine and only change I had done yesterday after the game crash was swapping the cards to get the SLI working with two 1080ti. I wonder if the account and game access is something they can reset.

Amd 2950x
Asus Zenith Extreme
64 GB Ram
2 x EVGA 1080 ti
Samsung 960 pro
First started a chat with EA support and the person told me to just wait it out for the DRM issue to fix it self. Then I called EA and he gave me the following instructions. I followed them and the game launched without an issue.
For now this is the resolution to fix the "Too many computer have accessed this account's version of DisplayName field missing from registery, recently. Please try again later" issue.
Completely log out and close down Origin
Hold down the Windows key and R
Type in "%ProgramData%" (without quotes) and click OK
Now open the Origin folder.
Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)
Hold down the Windows key and R
Type in "%AppData%" (without quotes) and click OK
This will take you to a Roaming folder, which is located inside of AppData. Delete the Origin folder
Click on the word "AppData" at the top of your window
Open the Local folder here
Delete the Origin folder listed here
Restart your PC and log back into Origin
In Origin go to game properties by right clicking on battlefield 5 and uncheck "Show Battlefield 5 ....." This is the first checkbox when you click on game properties.
Then I started the game and it worked without an issue.
