Re: I cannot log into the game in the main menu

@4LettersNCountin You need to start the game with the launcher. If the game does not start with the launcher something is wrong. Are you starting the game from Origin or are you bypassing the launcher?

    I start the game with the launcher, but for some reason the login does not appear for me. (When I click the Welcome tab, it gives me a blank page.) Yes, I run the game on Origin.

    @4LettersNCountin We are back to the clearing the browsing history in IE. The game uses the IE APIs to communicate. If the site is restarted the stored cookie in IE becomes invalid and needs to be removed or replaced. The cookie will expire after a time. If this doesn't work then something is blocking the communication (antivirus, ad blocker, etc).

    I've already cleared Internet Explorer's browsing history and removed the cookies. It might be the antivirus I have, I'm not sure.

    @4LettersNCountin Just this morning I had to clear the cookies in IE because of the blank welcome screen in the launcher. I cleared the cookies, closed IE , restart game, and now I get the login screen in the welcome tab of the launcher and I login and all is well.

    I've had the blank welcome screen ever since I opened the game for the first time. I've cleared the browsing history, but it didn't give me any changes.
  • Try this...it worked for me...

    Open Internet Explorer

    Click on the little cog in the upper right

    Choose Internet options

    Choose the Advance tab then click the button that says Reset

    Tick the Delete Personal Settings Box then the Reset Button

    Close Internet Explorer

    Open the Launcher and it should be fixed!

    Good luck!!!
