Ah nothing like some amazing DRM from EA everyone's favorite game company. I was finally able to install from the PHYSICAL COPY I purchased from a store, but it required me uninstalling Origin(AKA trash DRM) and reinstalling it. Then the magical program to make sure people are not stealing their game(lol?), will install from disc. It's okay I'm sure that with this amazing DRM, none of those naughty pirates will ever be able to make illegal copies of your products. Why as a loyal customer I am thrilled that you put me through extra trouble to stop them. Im sure that if I go to google and search for "insert game name" torrent, I won't find a single copy of this game there. Excellent work EA!
Had ZERO problem installing from disc simply by disabling my network card before starting the install.
(Not just unplugging the ethernet cable, but going into Network Connections and "Disabling" the interface.)
No network, no downloading. Turned the network card back on and "Activated" the game through my Origin account after the install was complete. 😕mileywink:
