    Valid Copy Bug

    My copy has mysteriously stopped working. When I go to play, it loads to the save screen and then tells me it I don't have valid/legal copy.

    Why is this happening? It's incredibly frustrating. I have the code right here in front of me.

    How can I fix this??

      Are your trying to run it without a CD via an crack ? If not take the disc out & re-start the PC. If it persists, I would contact EA, via the help button & submit a ticket, or send an email to them. Don't expect a fast response.

      Check the dvd if dirty. See if the dvd works in another computer. Then check to see if when you put it in your computer that you can see the files on the disk. Some dvd drives are having trouble with Safedisc (copyguard) that is used.
      I do not work for EA nor do I have any association with EA. I am a gamer helping other gamers.
