Need for Speed heat displayname error

Hello,

Every time I try to play Need for Speed Heat on my pc I get a window that is titled: "DisplayName field missing from registry,"

It says "Sign in with your EA Account to activate DisplayName field missing from registry. on this computer." (That is word for word)

It has a login option at the bottom, but when I put my credentials in the widow it disappears and the EA app comes back up with the "play" button for the game. I press it again, and the same thing happens.

Just in case it helps, I did buy the game on Steam and I've tried running it from Steam as well with the same result, except Steam says it's still running.

Would appreciate any help.

    Same issue as the original poster of this thread.. Tried all the steps listed above and rebooted pc, reinstalled EA play, reinstalled the game 3 times through steam, launched through steam, launched as administrator through steam folder, launched through the launcher, every single time it closes the launcher, waits a few seconds and then either 1. re-opens the launcher, which continues the loop or 2. shows the displayname error, if i exit or if i enter my information on the displayname error, the menu closes and re opens the launcher again.. Non-stop for an hour I have been trying to simply play a game that I purchased through steam and cannot even find the answer online. All i keep seeing is the same reply from EA in each thread and other people saying they have the same issue. None of these steps are working. @EA_Barry
