Hi,
I launch it from Steam, but I tried launching from the EA App directly also and I get the same error.
Thanks

Can you please double-check if your EA account is linked to the same Steam account where you purchased the game? You can do that by checking the Connected Accounts tab in your EA Account settings.

Yes it is :
The weird thing is that in the window where it asks to activate the game, it actually says "Connect to your EA Account to activate DisplayName field missing from registry".
Don't know if that means something is wrong with one of the installed files.- boring_text5482 months agoNew Novice
Hello, I'm currently having the exact same issue, even with the "DisplayName field missing from registry" label on the popup.
Origin popup requiring activation will never work because Origin servers got shut down.
The issue started for me when I installed titanfall 2 on my new PC, after I sold off my old one, so I have come to think that on EA's side, my old copy on my former PC is still the "good" one and my new copy doesn't have a valid license or something like that, so when titanfall 2 detects that it ask for activation, which is still done via Origin even though it doesn't work anymore.
When I first installed the game on my older PC Origin servers still existed so that is probably how I activated my game back then. That is just a theory though, I'm not really sure what is going on, I'm just certain that it wants to go trough Origin for activation.
Is this the first time you installed the game or did you install it before on a different drive/device? And if yes did it work after or before Origin servers shutdown in April of 2025?
I would greatly appreciate your help as it may help me find a fix for this issue.
Thanks for your help.
