How to go Online
- Anyone who has played this game knows that the online is completely broken for most. Here is a step by step guide about how to fix it.
"The product key you are using is invalid"
- Upon attempting to log into an EA/Origin account in order to play the game online, some users encounter the error "The product key you are using is invalid". This occurs if you are using a retail version of the game which you have registered online via Origin/EA Download Manager. The game recognizes that your CD key is already in use (on Origin), and thinks it is invalid.
- The only solution is to download and reinstall the game via Origin.
