ERROR 401 BYTEVAULT_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
When I try to connect to a game I always get error 401 BYTEVAULT_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED. I have already tried repairing the game twice but I continue to get this error. I've double-checked all ports...

Further updates on my situation:
According to Amazon, potentially hundreds of their customers, maybe even thousands are being banned because EA apparently hasn't kept track of the CD-Keys they issued to Amazon to sell. So a lot of amazon customers are entering keys they got from amazon, and then being subsequently banned later by EA because they don't have a record of that key being sold or distributed to amazon, so they flag it as fraudulent and POOF! There goes your account.
Stellar work by EA. The real **bleep**-kicker is that EA is telling me they are waiting on Amazon to reply to them, and Amazon is saying EA won't return emails, calls or letters they have been sending. THis same thing happened back when Sim City was released. You'd think they'd have resolved this by now.
