EF Offline problem

MrTimewalk · 2006-03-22 09:58:48

I don't have broadband so I downloaded EF from work, then took it home, stuck the files on the machine at home and installed it. works fine for online play but if I try to play single player or setup an lan server it tells me i need to purchase EF (even though I have already). How do I solve this?

This may sound silly but have you tried to assign your singleplayer nick to EF as you did with your online nick?

Do you have a login for playing single player? ie one that doesnt connect to the account server?

When you bought EF is was linked to whatever name you entered so thats the only one that could play EF.

Yeah, I think it's a very silly thing like if you want to play SinglePlayer EF, you still have to log into ea.com and switch the account you want to use.

Not 100% sure though...
