Serial key

origin i mean

I followed you're advice, had a pic of my receipt ready to go, filled out the case file and requested a phone call. They contacted me instantly, and the guy had me shut down Steam and Origin, reopen both using Run as Administrator and he activated the game and multiplayer works for me now. Now it shows up in my Origin Library as well. But he never actually gave me my key.

Because of an exploit, keys for EA games on Steam were removed. Contact EA support here:

https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=origin

-Change game to Bad Company 2
-Select Steam
-Select Codes and Promotions
-Select Lost Code

Explain the situation and that you need a key. After getting the key, you'll need to register it on your Origin account by redeeming it there. Then, go back to your Steam copy, and login with your Origin account when it asks you to. Then you can play.

See above post

I just went through this process and got in touch with an EA Advisor using that https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=origin link - they added the game to my Origin account for free after I provided proof of purchase here on Steam. Had to do it twice because the first time my screenshots were cropped (you can attach files before you get in contact with an EA Advisor), so the first guy told me to get some screenshots like its says here: https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/account/how-to-provide-proof-of-purchase/ yall can save time by already attaching them to the case. The EA Advisor will send you a one-time code to your Origin e-mail just to verify ownership of your EA Account.

You can also save time by linking your Steam account to your Origin account beforehand (they'll tell you to do this to verify that you own both accounts) - Simply log in here using your Steam account (there's a little Steam button you can click to sign in): https://help.ea.com/en/

It takes around 5-10 minutes. I hope this helps. ♥

Hey, glad it worked for you, I would definitely recommend people follow the extra steps outlined in this post and connect your Steam and Origin accounts.

So, I just got off with EA support. I now own the game on Origin, but it seems to have no connection to my Steam account. Yes, my account is linked; I have several other games that are linked between Origin and Steam. I guess I'll just play on Origin. Steam really shouldn't be selling this game in this condition.

I've spent over 6 hours chatting with EA, no resolution at this point and Steam doesn't want to honor a refund. This is pretty ridiculous...There are tech's just dumping the interaction midway through a resolution and everything.

I'm sorry to let you all know but you been suckered and conned. EA INTENTIONALLY made it to where if you want to play Multiplayer then you have to buy it through EA Store or Origin because on those platforms they don't do deals for this game there keeping it full price but make you still have to buy it there if you want to play multiplayer. It's been switched to this method since 2014.

tl:dr if you bought Bad Company 2 on steam you can only play Vietnam and Singleplayer, not regular multiplayer because it's reserved only for Origin and EA players.

The proof of purchase must be exactly like this : https://help.ea.com/en/help/account/how-to-provide-proof-of-purchase/#steam
