Can't Connect To EA Servers To Activate Error
Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug After the Geonosis update Battlefront 2 now provides an error when trying to launch that I'm unable to connect to the EA server to activate. I've tried: -Uninstall and reinstall of both BF2 and Origin using their Revo Uninstaller -Clearing cache and resetting host files -Flushing DNS -Installing another Origin game and then trying (BF1 worked fine btw) -Scoured the EA forums and found it's a common issue with Origin and affects many of their games -Deleting just patch then updating again -Repairing BF2 -Contacting EA support and 4 times and they advised to update graphics drivers (had no effect) and then pretty much said "welp, we don't know we'll enter it as a bug" after providing them trace tests, dxdiag, and msinfo files -Performed windows updates -Clean reboot with no background processes or start up items active -Disabled all antivirus and firewalls -Launching from game folder, even the BF2 trial requests activation and at least gives me the chance to enter the key but I've never received an activation key I've done all I can short of ensuring ports are open, I'm not knowledgeable enough to play with all of that and doing a fresh install of windows (some people report this fixes it) Literally hyped myself so hard for Geonosis and Obi-wan and played all week to get back in the rhythm. Woke up early to update and this is how I'm rewarded.. please can anyone help I'm desperate to enjoy my love of Star Wars.
