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.

@TheGooseShot I did this as I have the game on both Steam and Epic, but only installed via Steam. I found I could launch the game from the Origin website if I clicked on my Steam version of the game. The game booted up fine but apparently used the Epic Games launcher to do it. If I try to launch from Steam I get the same problems that I need an activation code.

    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.

      Thanks for yesterday's support from EA GAMES after the chat for trying to solve the problem, but it didn't help.
