I have a meeting I have to be in, the other email does not seem to work either. Hopefully by the time I get out we'll have that issue resolved and we can start working on the resolution to these problems.

Thank you for your patience


Think you could find it somewhat advisable that, while engrossed in this meeting, you may want to lay out on the table how if business keeps going on like this, these meetings will become less and less frequent as well as somewhat less populated.... that's just me talkin though....

somebody send him a screenshot, i'm at work so I can't do it. I'm in california and it hasn't worked since last night. I bought it from D2D like I have countless other games and this was the first time anything like this happened.

those are the dates which are build into the release control mechanism. if your online vendor is telling you another date, they are not correct and havent passed on the information correctly.

we are also seeing issues with FIREWALLS. can you try turning your hwardware and windows firewall completely off for when you try to authenticate (then you can turn them back on).

What we have seen is that the authentication token which is being sent to the customer is getting filtered out in certain areas via the firewall

Biermania do you known the release date for people in Brazil who bought the game from the EA Store?



Brazil is Jan 28 at 23:00 CET (which is GMT+1) - the same as parts of Europe


So what you're saying is that EA Store sold one thing and delivered another? When we do have an EA Store email saying one date specifically and a software effectively blocking it till another date?

To me that's false advertising.


Since I am having email problems, can you copy paste the email (removing and personal and keycode info) into this forum.

I agree. D2D did the same thing.

I have disabled my:

Hardware firewall by making myself the DMZ host
Windows Firewall via MSCONFIG
Windows Defender via MSCONFIG
Avira AV via MSCONFIG

To eliminate all possibilities and still the same problem

Edit to note: Im in New Jersey, USA, clearly in (what some still consider) North America, so I think I qualify as being pretty well past 01/26/2010

"Oklahoma City -Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience store in a district court this week when he fired his lawyer. Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified that Newton was the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, "I should of blown your [expletive] head off." The defendant paused, then quickly added, "-if I'd been the one that was there." The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommend a 30-year sentence. "



Just a little levity to break the tension

ok well ive finished re-downloading my copy from ea. It went much faster this time and although I had the tech support guy's word that re-downloading would solve the problem since he changed something in my account I was still unable to get it to work with the same release date check problem

Well, if something doesn't happen and this gets left to die, I would say you're right on about that assessment

You guys have to admit though, this speaks volumes of the passion generated toward this game, at least they got THAT part right.....even for myself I find it an admiral quality that I'm so enamoured by a game that I get this upset about it....which I typically do not

Ive been kicked off thrice, when trying live chat. Right when I got to the begining of the queue. Seems like a typical problem from what Ive read on these forums.

I had to redowload as well as i realised that one of the rar files got corrupted. I can confirm that it went much faster as well.

You may want to check Michael's post about the release time/date.
