What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug I bought the standard game from Origin about a year ago. To get access to the Celebration Edition content, I bought it recently in a Steam sale and linked it to my Origin account, which worked fine for 112 hours until the game went free in the Epic Games Store and I decided to add it to my account as well. Now when I launch the game via Steam i get a promt which says "Activation Required" "To play Unidentified Game, you must first activate it on your EA account." My Steam labeled version the Game wont show up in my Origin libary either.

If you go to Origin.com , and go to your library, it will show two battlefront II's, one saying Epic games, one saying Steam. I did not buy the game from origin so you might have 3 of them show up.
Can't run the game anymore from Steam after linking Epic with Origin.
It's not showing any battlefront 2, its showing only epic games' battlefront 2. I want to start the game from steam, not from epic games. Help!
@TheGooseShotproblem is epic overwrote steam one, there is no steam version on the library if you connected epic and ea. EA needs to fix this ASAP
@TheGooseShot I can see my three versions of the game on Origin.com, but not in the Origin Client.
I tried uninstalling the Epic Games Client and reinstalled my Battlefront 2 via Steam, but when I launch it via Steam I still get the same error message.
@TheGooseShotYaa just like I brought mirror's edge catalyst from origin and after on steam, so its showing 2 in library. Then for SWBF 2 there should be show 2| 1 from steam n 1 from epic.. but epic just overwrote steam license.. thats bad ;(
Have the same issue, but starting the game worked surprisingly fine, when i started origin via Steam Big Picture and after that BF2 in Steam Big Picture and after that BF2 in Epic. Thats quite a workaround, but i'm able to use the whole stuff like steam overlay, controller support and stuff.
So I completely uninstalled the game, deleted the ORIGIN program completely. He returned the game Battlefront to EPIC STORE. Subsequently, I asked EPIC STORE to remove any account links to Steam. I also asked EA GAMES to remove any account links to EPIC STORE. He reinstalled the game from the STEAM client, then installed the latest ORIGIN program. Unfortunately, it did not help and the game purchased from STEAM is inactive and cannot be verified in the ORIGIN program.
So the problem persists. The error is in the ORIGIN program. On the EA GAMES website, I already have the game suppressed in my EPIC STORE library, and I subsequently had it removed from EPIC STORE, or "refund."
So I'm waiting for the repair of the ORIGIN client.
