Need For Speed : Payback won't launch after buying from Steam.
After purchasing the game from Steam, and running it, the game then forces me to install Origin which then I did. After that, the game runs Origin and a popup appears saying "ACTIVATION REQUIRED", and under it writes "To play Unidentified Game, you must first activate it on your EA account." . It is forcing me to activate the game with a code, however I can't seem to find the code on my Steam Purchase Receipt in my e-mail. Is this a bug? Or is the code in some other place?
Hello @aliasSane
Usually this error means that your Steam account is not linked to your EA account. Please make sure that your Steam account is linked to your EA account. If the issue still persists, please try clearing Origin cache.
