Downloaded the retail disc in Origin and the key code was correct but the EA log in gives an error code stating that the CD is already registered, well yeah I just downloaded it on Origin and they assigned another key code (different than the one on the manual) and also in the error code states that it is registered to another computer, the new key code they just gave me!! I saw on another post that someone said turn off the firewall settings, that did no good. Phone discussions with Origin (EA) say I need to go to customer service with EA as it being an older game that they do not support it. At present there is no way to even launch the dang game. Any thoughts out there? I know its not one of the better games but do have friends that like it ergo the question.

Have read numerous posts on this (2142 Deluxe Edition) even activated it in Origin but the blame thing will not log in so am dead in the water. At the moment am uninstalling the Origin file for the game and downloading and up dating the retail disc to 1.50 and 1.51 and leaving Game Spy out as they have gone kaput. EA forum (which is Battle Log now) has some folks with the same issue and the Game Spy problem has rendered the game dead as their servers are no longer in existence. I bought this game in 2010 loaded it and logged in looked at it and never went back til now and it is really a PITA getting it up and running. So if anyone out there is going through the same hassle do post and let's figure this one out.
