I don't know about the topic creator, but mine is a digital copy of the game on steam yes.
That confirms what I was thinking but indeed the code should work.
I do not think this is due to a firewall or something like this but you can still try to verify the settings.
If ever you have Origin installed on your computer you can try to redeem the code via Origin and launch the game via Origin (more details can be found below.)
Can I add an EA game that I purchased outside of Origin to my Origin Game Library?
Currently all EA games released in 2009 or later can be added to your Origin Game Library. We’re working to enable this option for EA’s older titles as well. At this point, all of the following titles are enabled for this feature:
- Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
- Need For Speed: Shift
- Need For Speed: The Run
- Need For Speed: Undercover
- Shift 2 Unleashed
It doesn't work through origin either. The exact same thing happens. It accepts the cd key to add it to your library but then every time you try to play, an activation wizard menu comes up, and the same loop happens where this menu pops up every time you hit play and the game still won't launch.
