NFS: Shift 2 says that I am not connected to the internet when launching game...

[macbain59]

I just bought this game when it was on sale last night and after installing fully when I try to launch the game it gives me an error screen and tells me that I need to be connected to the internet to continue. This happened with Crusader Kings 2, I went to the program files folder and opened from the .exe file there and it worked, tried that for this and it didn't. Help?
