It is no secret that the EA Desktop App implementation of this is broken, so I used the full offline installer for Origin and got back in the game almost instantly, after a scan and repair ( though the file layout changed a little bit, and I had to use an open source tool to block the popups warning me to install EA Desktop, when it was already installed? )NOTE: EA Desktop is newer, was created after these titles came out, and struggles with so-called "origin legacy" titles, as they have a really complicated wrapper / stub installer system that handles this, though it actually fails to fetch the account information or display the tiles ( missing functionality in the app itself. ) The EA Desktop App is supposed to request from the user, with a fresh install, which country to store the user account data / information, and it's also supposed to have a feature to allow you to enable supposedly untested titles from the game library, that you obviously license from EA. I set mine to Sweden btw, though I'm sure that's smarter over the long run. Sometimes after the App Recover, it tries to set it to the UK, and you are in big trouble ( I don't live in Europe, I live in North America. ) Origin has all of this missing functionality, and it also properly authorizes the game with ActivationUI, Cleanup, Touchup, etc, though the folder and file layout is dramatically different. It's really just about EA Desktop being able to properly transfer account and license information.SIDE NOTE: I did talk to the support staff from EA Help multiple times, and I didn't think they put one of those drinking birds in place of them with an EA logo on the side, or a bot, or an AI, as I believe the staff were genuinely misinformed about this issue, but clearly tried in whatever way they could to help, though at times it seemed more like the Fenslerfilm PSA, with the cartoon character saying "HEY KID! I'M A COMPUTER! STOP ALL THE DOWNLOADING!"

I recently found that the game is no longer in their repository and so even though I own the hard discs for this game I can no longer play it. Wonderful system for EA to remove our ability to play games that we have been enjoying for years based on their greed. Thanks EA, for losing one more customer.So you can see the message I got today in English.&nbsp;
