EA app error "DisplayName field missing from registry"

Every time I try to play in offline mode, I keep getting a "DisplayName field missing from registry" error.  I paid for all of my DLC through Origin and spent around $1,000 for these games, and I have a couple of thousand hours of played time clocked in so I don't know why it's suddenly asking me for this information when it never has before.  I don't want to play in online mode because I don't want to update my game with the new patch yet.  I want to play with my mods as long as possible - until my favourite mods are confirmed to be updated for the latest patch.  It's like Origin is trying to force me to update my game before I'm ready to.  I haven’t done anything different– I logged into my Origin account the same as I always do.  In fact, I played the game earlier today with no issue.  What’s going on and how do I fix this?

Hi, 

I recently found that i can play again anthem, as i played since alpha / beta days, i logged to my EA account (RIP origin) and the game is in my library (i played with origin acces), i sibbed again to ea play but the game doesnt start and says that the cannot activate DisplayName Field Missing From Registry, asking me to log in with the account that i used to buy the game, and now i'm stuck. what should i do?

Thanks, 

xoxo

Does anyone know if it should still state I'm on a trial even though I've redeemed a code for the game???

Also I get a box that pops up saying "displayname field missing from registry" and it wants me to log into Origins which has now shutdown.

@Ultra_Rikuu 

If you have two separate installs, one for the trial and one for the 'main' game, uninstall the trial then reboot and retry playing.

Thanks.

Summarize your bug Out of nowhere I get windows popping up telling me that "Battlefield 1 (Trial)" couldn't be activated. I actually played the Battlefield 1 Trial, but that's been back in 2016 before release. I own the full game (pre-ordered it back then), but the window still pops up now and then (sometimes even 3-4 times in quick succession or at the same time).
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I guess one has to have both the BF1 trial as well as the full game on one account, but I'm not 100% sure.
What happens when the bug occurs? This issue returns once every few weeks, but since yesterday I'm getting it constantly. One or more windows pop up, telling you that your current EA account couldn't activate the trial. This behavior seems to stop, if I uninstall the game, but it reappears after installing. The popup might be triggered by opening/closing any game (not just Battlefield 1).
What do you expect to see? There shouldn't be any popups or notifications, since I own the full version and only the full version of the game is installed.

‌

This is the window that will pop up in irregular intervals, sometimes even up to 6 or 7 times at once:

Just to emphasize this: I own the full game, there's no need for any trial license nor am I aware of anything being installed.

I uninstalled BF1, made sure the whole game folder is deleted, yet I still get this popup now and then.
