Also getting the same issue, tried to apply the all the "fixes" mentioned on this topic. So far nothing, I'm in Brazil so I spent close to Us$70 on the game and so far all I was able to do is watch people playing it on Youtube, I guess I can do that for free.

EA stop FORCING me to pirate your games, let me just buy it, spend money on it and actually be able to play.
