I go to launch the game from Origin my games library or even the exe from inside the game directory folder and the game will not open for some reason. It is annoying. I have it installed and I played it just the other day. It says I have to activate the game!? This is stupid. Please can someone help? Thank you!

I had the same issue after the patch. What worked for me was to delete the exe file (so in the folder not the desktop icon) and then hit repair game in origin (shouldn't take too long because it's just fixing the missing file) and than it would start again. So maybe give that a try?

I hate myself for having to recommend this, but help.ea.com. I had to go to them when my DAI install failed at one point and, to be honest, they were very helpful after I opened a ticket. |

EA's technical support is miles ahead of Valve's. Dunno why you're hating yourself.

Not sure if you tried this or not. In the past when games haven't started properly it is because they crashed on startup so either going into Task Manager and making sure it isn't there is what I do, but if you don't want to do that restarting or turning your computer off and back on will clear that problem.
I do agree completely with Serza that saying if you are having a problem contact Origins's support (I recommend chat support) and they can help you without any fuss and most of the time the longest part of that is waiting for a CSR.

This is stupid. I have redownloaded the whole entire game, I have reinstalled windows, reinstalled my graphics drivers, done everything humanly possible I think to fix this stupid game and it won't launch ever since the last patch. I have googled lots too. Anyway, it feels like I am running out of ideas and I just gave 100 dollars to EA for no reason.  |

I also talked to this EA person I think it was in a small chat box. He told me to clear the origin cache I did that too and redownloaded the game as he asked and it still didn't work.
