I wasnt able to get my game into Origin, I am receiving the following error:
The serial code you entered is invalid. Please enter a valid serial code and re-submit. What does this mean? |
I am the only owner of the game ever, and nobody other than me had access to the CD-Key which up to this day I have on the back of the original manual of the game. How can I contact EA to fix my account?
@Rey_Hammer , did you register the code at the Sims 3 website?
update: yes, I must have registered a long time ago (didn’t even remember, but I saw an additional content code inside the CD box that asked for the registration so, I figured that I must have done in the past, so after some email filtering I found and was able to recover - it has been idk, 8 years? So yeah, don’t blame me for not remembering, but I was glad that it automatically converted the account into an EA Games apparently, at least I didn’t have to take any additional step to convert/migrate).
however I still wasn’t able to play… origin/EA Games, just doesn’t work… the game doesn’t open, not even black screen of “trying to open”… and it gives an error on the EA games application saying something happened on their end…
so if anyone is looking to play, and was in the same situation as me, I can tell upfront it is not worthy… cuz even with the serial key and the game on the origin/ea games app, it doesn’t work…
I even saw some scripts related with processor affinity, but my processor is a 10th gen (also tried on a 7th gen) which doesn’t have this fancy core stuff, so it should work without that, even though I tried using it… anyway, the error says it is something on EA games side… don’t have the print at the moment (EDIT: just added below), but it is a default error that shows up on a lot of videos and places related with EA Games… some people said it was cache, it is impossible, I just downloaded EA Games on a recently installed OS, there are no cache files laying around… so I figure it does make sense to be something broken on their end indeed… I already didn’t expect much from EA, but this is way worse than my expectations, cuz the game is actually available to be bought… I would have been furious if I had just bought it nowadays and it is packed with a mystery on how to fry your pc with shady stuff to run a AAA game…
EDIT: including the error message;
