After my initial reaction of "What the heck just happened?!" when a refresh of the site populated every post with icons below the the poster's name I noticed that the ME1 icon is missing from mine.

 

What is required to display the icon and what do I need to do for that? I bought ME on Steam a long, long time ago... is that the problem?

 

Btw... thanks for bringing the icons back... but perhaps they are a little too large?

Mass Effect is hard to detect because it didn't use EA's account system. I believe if you own it on PC and have it in the Origin client it will write the entitlement we check for but don't quote me on that.

What about if you own a physical copy?

I probably have the serial key still lying around here somewhere, I reinstalled it on my new pc a while back. I could even take a picture of the box and everything

From what I understand you can put your key into the Origin client and it should recognize it. Give it a try and then we will know.

i did that a couple minutes ago with no icon showing up

We only check every 3 hours so it might take a bit to show up. You could also try logging out of the forum and back in again, I think that will force a recheck. I do see you having it in the backend so it should show up eventually.

I concur, I'd be cool to also get icons for the legacy Bioware games we own. I get how Baldur's Gate, KoTOR etc. isn't possible since there's no code, but for ME1 we did enter a code, so it should be possible somehow yes?

Unfortunately those legacy games were from before BioWare used EA accounts so there isn't an easy check like we have for Mass Effect and Dragon Age. It could be something we add later but would take a bunch of work. We would have to figure out if we create a database of CD Keys and UPC codes, which would be hard to track down and also to keep updated, or do we just allow people to check a box saying they own it.

Would it work with a physical copy of the Xbox360 version? I'm guessing the answer is no, but I figured asking couldn't hurt.

No I don't think console versions had keys and also Origin only does PC titles. They did do an "On the House" promotion for DAO last year so maybe they'll do something similar for Mass Effect some day and you can grab it then.

How about this size instead?

or better yet:

We've covered physical releases, and I assume this falls under similar circumstances, but it does behoove me to ask, is that also true for PS3 digital versions as well?

Sorry, what is the context for that question? If you mean ME1 detection I've only ever seen it work on PC because the Origin client will write an entitlement. You don't ever log in when playing ME1 so the game itself won't do it like the newer titles.

It seems I have the Mass Effect 1 problem, but in reverse. That is : I've got the game in Origin (since several months) but the icon doesn't shows here. Does someone have the same issue ? (I've tried to log/delog from the forum several time)
 

 
I'm trying do DL it and lauch it just to check if it will unlock the icon.

That is odd. Do you know about when you purchased it?

[Jesse Reid]

Okay, but since then you've put the key into the Origin client? When would that have been?

[Jesse Reid]

I own a physical copy of ME, it is a UK EA value copy (not sure if that makes any difference). The key does not seem to work.

Same for me. Quite sad really.

Can you message me your CD Key that isn't working on Origin? If you remember can you also include where you purchased it and what "edition" it is? I will send it off to our contact person to see why it isn't working. If all goes well we will be able to get it added.
