Re: EA app error "DisplayName field missing from registry"

Subject: Same Issue with Titanfall 2 - Unable to Activate Game

Hey @UrDaddison,

I’m experiencing the same issue with Titanfall 2 where I can’t activate the game through the EA app. I’ve gone through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, and here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Steps Taken:

1. Cleared Cache: Followed the suggestion to clear the EA app's cache (App Recovery).
2. Checked License Folder: Went to C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License (and made sure I had "View hidden files" enabled), but the folder was empty. Even when I checked C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License, it was still empty.
3. Tried Reinstalling: Reinstalled the EA app and logged in again, but the issue persisted.
4. Checked Antivirus/Firewall: I checked to see if my firewall or antivirus (including McAfee) was blocking the app, but I didn’t find any clear conflicts.
5. Attempted Activation: Even when I try to activate the game manually, it gives the error "DisplayName missing from registry" and prompts me to enter a product key.
6. Reinstalled the Game: I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Titanfall 2 from Steam, but the issue is still unresolved.

Current Status:

Unfortunately, none of the above methods resolved the issue, and I’m still unable to activate or play Titanfall 2. I’m starting to think this might be a server-side issue or some kind of bug that needs further attention from EA support.

Have you had any luck with getting it to work or receiving any updates? Let me know if you’ve found any additional troubleshooting that works!

Thanks,
