Looking for some more input on this while I wait without much hope on a response from EA:
I downloaded and installed DAO:U via EA's EADM last night (Windows 7 64b OS), completed the installation, selected play, and received a window requesting the activation key for the game. Entered it, received a 'successfully activated' window, then went to finish the activation and received:
We are unable to connect to EA to activate Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition on this computer using your account. Please try again later.
So, I figured there was a possibility it could be on my end. Disabled AV firewall (already had suggested ports open in my router firewall as per the tech support thread here), and set it up in DMZ behind my router.. no change. Winsock reset, powercycled, no change. Even connected up off of another network to verify it wasn't anything in my LAN.. nada.
Sent a request through EA, they tell me that my activation key's valid, and that I need to uninstall both EADM and DA, then download again and reinstall.... so, get home from work, completely uninstall my AV, wait around another 4 hours+ for the entire game to download again, reinstall, and no change. I tried running everything from admin state, and of course no difference; might anyone have some ideas to give a shot concerning this? I really just want to crank the game up, and any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Update Edit:
I enabled logging in the router, got the ip and protocol(HTTPS) being connected to during the activation attempt, then ran it through a whois lookup to confirm it was an EA IP. I checked connectivity via telnet using standard HTTPS port 443, and got an interesting response. Telnet successfully connected on the port, but when typing a command string, it backed out to standard command prompt before even entering the command - no error/disconnect from server message or anything. Out of curiousity, I tested telnet via standard port 80, and connected with no oddball behavior. Upon entering a gibberish command, I received a response from the server and was disconnected... dunno how much this info ties in, but it at least seems relevant..
