@fiendishtiara Changes were made to your account which should help.

I would clear the EA app cache first, then repair the game or just do a full reinstall.

@EA_Shepard Thanks for the very prompt reaction and answer!

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. I've cleared the EA App cache, then repaired the game to no avail. I then tried uninstalling the game and then re-installing for the same result. I still get the same Origin activation problem window.

Please let me know if there's something else I could try.

Thanks!
