    Is this the DVD version of the game or the Origin digital download version?

    The DVD version will have problems due to Microsoft decommissioning the SecuROM DRM system. An easy workaround is to redeem the game's serial on an Origin account, which gives you access to the digital download version.

@River2713 Depends how old. As I said, it only works for games that are available, as separate products, on the Origin store. This immediately excludes all the C&C classics that only exist in The ultimate Collection. I redeemed my Mirror's Edge this way, though 🙂

    Don't say "all". I know for a fact the oldest games have no such error messages. Which games specifically do you have problems with?
