@MADrag0nsure, here u go , link for the SS : https://imgur.com/a/givCt1B
As well u can see since when im fighthing EA , and over the years i kept letting my guard off, but now i rlly want something to be DONE !!!
Edit ; placed the link again
Specify the all dates:
- when you bought the game,
- when you first started it,
- when you tried to use the key for the first time?
- 6 years ago@MADrag0n When i bought the back back in 2011 i got the error and i've contacted EA by the time ,and they told me to wait for further investivations. Of course no one ever contacted me back so every year, since 2011 im trying to get that silly game i've bought.
Imma post a picture with all the games i've bought along with C&C4
@mrtnptrs Check steam , because there are alot of other games that give you CD-KEY to play , i wont name them because i risk to get ban for publicity , but just buy game and you see the ones with cd-keys you need to enter, i will start the download of the game and make a print screen once im on - 6 years ago
You did not answer my question exactly. I understand correctly, you bought the game, tried to start it and use the key at the same hour / day and get key error?

@TERORISTU Ok, that explains everything 🙂 Now we can help you. So, you have to enter the key in-game the first time you start it? Didn't know that as I only have the Origin-edition. And you got this error from the first day of purchase? You're sure you didn't enter the key already in 2011, coupled it to a old EA-account and now using a other EA account with which you can of course not activate the key again?
Edit: I googled for 1 second and found this, a possible solution to your problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex3tIL5EcjU Please follow those exact instruction and report back if it worked 🙂 Hopefully it does 🙂
Edit2: apparently it is a issue many users have with the Steam-version. Aside from that it is a bad CNC-game, this explains the uberbad reviews.
- 6 years ago@mrtnptrs I hqve only 1 EA/Origin account with FIFA and APEX and all other EA games here so yeah, this is my only account.
@MADrag0n Yes same moment i've bought the game i've instaled all of the games and all worked beside C&C 4
Here are few SS with the proof of reciep and the error i got when i try to lunch the game with the cd-key (of course i've deleted the cd-key) https://imgur.com/a/hilsFSk - mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace

@TERORISTU I need the last section in that page.
Also go to https://www.origin.com/search?searchString=command and show resalt to us.

@TERORISTU It has been 9 years since you bought the game and it really says the game code is already redeemed. It is almost impossible to see now where it did go wrong. I think you will have to contact EA again in a NICE WAY instead of being a bit hostile and ask them to provide you with a new key or deactivate that key after you showed proof that you really bought it, so you can reactivate it. Steam-support will indeed be useless as the "error" is on EA's side. Or maybe ask them with which account the code has been redeemed already? That could help you track down the cause of this. But please be just nice to them and don't start complaining about the "big evil EA" as they will then understandibly less likely to help you if you're not friendly to them. You could also ask them for a key to the Origin-version of the game as compensation....
@MADrag0n And then he has to click on game library results and make a full screenshot of everything. 🙂 Nice, didn't think of that way to check it.
- 6 years ago@MADrag0n this is the game you wanna see? https://imgur.com/a/iaVZrba

@TERORISTU No, please go to this page and make a full screenshot(s) of it: https://www.origin.com/en-us/game-library?searchString=command

As we see, u got the game on your EA account! The key won't be activated the second time.
Try download / luanch the game from Origin client. Check the key in-game plate.
UPD. Sorry my french ) Boutique - its Store, not account )
- mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace
@MADrag0n Indeed it was the good link and it indeed seems that he has no CNC games on his EA-account, but by the link I specifically provided we can confirm that. But we then assume that even Steam-games that are activated with an EA-account, but not actually playable on Origin (Steam version specifically), will show up there.
I've gotta sleep now, but one way or another a EA employee could help him with the activation of the key or he has to chat with the EA helpdesk again in a nice way. It is clear that the game is not at fault, but that really simply the key seems to be already used. An EA employee should be able to help with that.

@TERORISTU Ask one more time for sure. Do you absolutely say that you have never played this game online? And could not activate the key on another EA account and forget about it?
- 6 years ago
@MADrag0nhere is the SS from my library, i've changed language to ENGLISH so no confusion will be made : Link Deleted
Yes i've never played that game C&C4 after i bought it because i couldnt ever redeem my cd-key
@mrtnptrsI've already contacted EA several times and talked with them with calm and explained and provided everything i've provided you guys and even more for EA support to confirm and they still couldnt help because as they say : Its not the fault of EA for providing a cd-key that is already used. But i wonder who fault is it then? - mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace
@TERORISTU You indeed don't seem to have activated the game. I would contact EA and provide your prove again and then ask under which account the key has been activated at EA's side. That will probably explain to you what went wrong and who is using the key at the moment. I think this is the only way you could find out what is going wrong.
It indeed seems that Steam provided the key and are responsible, but indirectly those keys came from EA, which is thus indirectly responsible. But Steam is known to not be very flexible in responses. And I'm sure as hell that you won't get your money back after 9 years.

@mrtnptrsThey said that my cd-key is redeemed on another user account , so i kindly asked to check if that user bought the cd-key as i did , and if so to provide the reciep like i am able as well to do. I dont think i've asked for the moon or anything.
Edit : I dont want the money back , i just want the game i've paid for ; nothing more, even tho as you can see it has tons of bad reviews, its a prodcut i've bought and wanna use it , nothing more. I dont want a refund.

@TERORISTU You bought only one game from EA in 12 years? Its some strange...
Do u have other email accounts or try to remember what all email accounts u use back in ~2011 when u bought the game?
- mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace
@TERORISTU Asking for the reciep of another person? No wonder they refused as that is private. Just ask them nicely what the username is of the account that is coupled to the key-activation.
@MADrag0n There are many people who never buy anything from Origin.... So, not that strange 🙂
- 6 years ago
@MADrag0nWhy is strange? because i dont play only on steam? Or im not allowed to have only 1 game ? You make it sound like i must buy tons of games to get help O_o
@mrtnptrs You missunderstand me, i didnt ask for me , i asked them to do the research, i know that i will never get ant private infos about other users as they stated : They are unable to tell me wich account has redeemed the cd-key. So i didnt ask for any details , i just asked them to do a research.
- mrtnptrs6 years agoSeasoned Ace
@TERORISTU Hey, be a bit nicer. @MADrag0n surely didn't meant it that way.... He is indeed a bit direct, maybe even a bit too much in my opinion, but he obviously means well.
So, they refused to give you the username to which the key is coupled to at the moment? I would say: contact them again and ask it again after showing all the proof you have.
- 6 years ago
I have EGS, Steam, GOG, and other accounts and have many games on it, that its strange for me... )
Have about my e-mail question?
