[SOLVED] Can't get past login

[Faryn]

I can't get past the login screen. I enter my info, and it just hangs. I know it's the right login/password combo.

Any ideas?

I think I have the same probleme. They ask you to enter EA logs, then the game freeze. Just refreshing the topic, or if you got the way to solve the probleme.

same thing here

Okay, a solution....

First off, I made the mistake of contacting EA. I spent an hour with them, mostly on hold. They could not solve my problem, and were all around clueless. I'll actually be emailing them later today, and will include the following info.

So...

1. Go to Steam/Steamapps/common/Burnout Paradise and find burnoutparadise.exe. Right-click, and go into properties. Go to compatibility, and set it to run under Windows 7 compatibility.

2. Now, run the game, and login using your origin login info.

3. It will say it's connecting, and....

4. the screen will change, and a small button will appear on the bottom right of your screen which says BACK TO GAME. Click it, and you're good to go!

alternative method if all else fails.

this method worked me like a charm.

goto www.ea.com/profile/login

sign in. once you are signed in you will see the following

ID:
Email:
Date of birth
Member since.

what you want to do is sign in to Burnout paradise with your ID.

hope this helps.

bare in mind the store for the game is offline, but multiplayer still works fine

i found anther solution.

just push CTRL+ALT+DEL then cancel and on the right bottom will be the back to the game icon and you are good to go

I was doing that, too, Anknowniolz. But once I set the compatibility to Win7, I didn't have to.
