How to go Online
- Anyone who has played this game knows that the online is completely broken for most. Here is a step by step guide about how to fix it.
Instructions |
---|
"The product key you are using is invalid"
- Upon attempting to log into an EA/Origin account in order to play the game online, some users encounter the error "The product key you are using is invalid". This occurs if you are using a retail version of the game which you have registered online via Origin/EA Download Manager. The game recognizes that your CD key is already in use (on Origin), and thinks it is invalid.
- The only solution is to download and reinstall the game via Origin.
System requirements
Windows | ||
---|---|---|
Minimum | Recommended | |
Operating system (OS) | XP, Vista, 7, Server 2008 (R2) | |
Processor (CPU) | 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 Windows XP / 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 Windows Vista | 2.4 GHz Celeron Dual Core / Athlon X2 2.4GHz |
System memory (RAM) | 1 GB (XP) / 1.5 GB (Vista) | 2 GB |

Video card (GPU) | Nvidia 6600 Radeon X1300 128 MB of VRAM | AMD HD6670 Nvidia GT550Ti or equivalent 1 GB of VRAM |
- This is not a very demanding game. It will run well on almost anything you can get these days. For maximum settings at 1920x1080, a little bit above the recommended configuration is going to serve you well.
