BF3 Amazon download issue?

[Genx87]

I purchased two keys during a sale earlier this month. I preloaded one of the keys last Friday. That one works fine. Claims it was purchased Sat Oct 22nd. The second key I finally installed tonight. It claims it was purchased Weds Oct 26th. How the hell can I purcahse it a day in the future? Anyways this key does not work at all. As in it will log into Origin but not start the game. Anybody else experience this weird issue? How did it think I purchased the game tomorrow?

Did you use the proxy trick to activate the 1st key and forget to change it back?

 

[Genx87]

No, I didnt activate until yesterday.

Any illegally installed EA software on your computer? lol

No illegally installed software. I havent done that in over a decade. So I am waiting for chat support right now. Something got majorly fubared on the account creation. I created the account using an email and made an ID like it asked. But when I use that email to logon to the game it tells me it isnt allowed to logon for the game. But I can logon to origin using the original ID, not the email. But when reset the password it required me to create a new ID for the same email. When I did that it no longer associates with the ID that is tied to the CD-Key. And of course the CD-Key is already in use when I tried to use it. Bottom line, something got screwed up big time when I created the account. Now I will have to get them to fix it. What are the chances I will get that accomplished?

From what I have seen once you actually chat with someone they tend to take care of things. It just takes awhile to get to that point.

Unfortunately the chat guy was worthless. Now I am going to deal with Amazon.

Recap of what happened.

Got CD-Key from amazon
Installed BF3
Created origin account using email
Created userID associated with email
Finished installing BF3
Origin launched, logged in using ID
Launched game
Brings up webpage and asks me to logon(on my other computer with the other key this is done automatically by Origin passing the credentials)
Try to logon using email address and it says there was a problem logging on, try again later. It does this indefinately.
Try to logon using gameid and it says it is not allowed to logon
I reset password on account.
I click on the link within the email, I reset and it makes me create a new gameid.
This new gameid is now associated with the email address.
The old gameid is still associated with the email address only for password reset and appears to be in limbo land from a logging in perspective, but the cd-key is tied to it.
