Hi, thanks for the suggestion. 1) Yes, the account is an administrator (user is in the Administrators group, UAC enabled). 2) I just repeated the test with both the EA app and Steam started as administrator — the result is identical: the activation window appears and the game never reaches the main menu. This time it did not show the "Too many computers" message, so that particular limit seems to have reset, but the activation still never completes. 3) The decisive detail: on this same PC, with the same EA account and the same Steam→EA app launch path, Battlefield 1 (Steam) and Apex Legends both launch and play normally. Only Titanfall 2 fails. 4) The game's own activation log shows the license IS issued successfully ("License Request Server HTTP response code=200", "state code=3", "License signature is good"), but the game still logs "Error Digital DRM verification retry requested" on every launch, the activation window never closes, and the EA app log says "Game main window was not found before timeout". 5) Already ruled out: three clean Windows installs from the official ISO, a brand-new Windows user, a different Steam account + EA account, reinstalling the game on a different drive, a clean install of the latest EA app, clearing the license cache, verifying game files, and disabling the VPN/accelerator. Could you escalate this to the account/entitlement team and have them check and reset the Titanfall 2 device activation records tied to my account?
