Crysis Warhead activatin on Origin.

[Big Goldberg]

Hi.

Is it possible?
Origin support activated Crysis 1, but they could not activate Warhead.
Did someone was able to activate it?

Thanks.

I got Crysis 1 activated today. Support said there is currently a technical update going on for legacy games and they couldn't activate Crysis Warhead at the moment. They don't have any ETA.

I had the same. Waiting now :)

Haha, i had no idea we can activate these on Origin. Just activated Crysis 2 Maximum Edition. But for some reason on Crysis 1, i get invalid key. Anyone know what's up?

Too bad Warhead is not redeemable.

EDIT: Just contacted Customer Support and they activated Crysis 1 for me since it wouldn't go through the client or through the browser (kept getting invalid key).
Confirming Warhead as non redeemable as of now. Oh, and they're shutting the Bioware points system down (yes, it has nothing to do with Crysis, just wanted to let you guys know).

And thank you Big Goldberg, if it wasn't for this thread, i wouldn't have known i can redeem these games on Origin. :)

Well, it is ridiculous. You cannot activate Crysis Warhead, but you can buy.

After a long time I thought that maybe it is possible to activate the game origin. Unfortunately, this time I can not even contact support.

You can activate Crysis and Crysis Warhead on Origin. If it won't activate using the Origin Software, use the EA activation page instead:
https://activate.ea.com/gameactivation.do

This worked for me a few months ago.

Just tried. I enter my code, my log in details and it redirects me to origin's activation page. Too bad.

Guess they closed that off, then. Good to know.

Try this link. I created a simple step by step solution:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/17330/discussions/0/541906348052365686/
(I made this solution at first just for the main game but then added right below a modified version for the Warhead game as well to have them both together and made a simple cross reference in the Warhead forum.)

It allows to play the game when it doesn't start at all or keeps crashing in the process and takes care of some settings and resolution issues, e.g. 1920x1080 and 16x & 16Q for Warhead and high resolution settings.

I got so far one feedback yet which confirmed that it does work for others systems as well.
Just when you went through the procedure expect to wait a bunch of seconds before the EA splash screen shows finally up. Trust me, that EA screen can take quite some time to come up. From there on you should have no issues.

Btw, one reason I think for those crashes are results from possible leftover profile files which got not properly removed after the removal of the physical version or former tries to make the Steam version run but which collided with those old, still existing profiles.

Just read closely through the instructions and follow them step by step and you should be finally able to enjoy the game. I made it as simple and clear as possible so that everybody can use the fix.

Please leave some feedback to keep the solution posts afloat when it worked for you as well as nobody is there to pin it to the top of both Crysis forums. Thanks and enjoy.
