Forum Discussion
Me and my friend have been dealing with this for 8 hours now. We have done everything the support said then we called them we have been talking with them on the phone over 2 hours now and the ea support's specialist has no idea what the problem could be. They said that we are going to get an answer in 24 hours and that they are contacting the developer team for the answer.

- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
