I cant seem to get it working. I installed it and downloaded the patch v1.01 and it still wont show up as any servers online. I can play offline but I can play online. Is there anything else I need to download? And also now it says it is connecting to EA's master server and wont connect and just stays on the screen...any idea?

I also dont feel like hearing how this game has spyware and we should not buy it. I would just like help for my problem...thank you

If you have a firewall you should uninstall it, disabling wont do as software like zone alarm still runs even when disabled. If you are on a router you should also put your PC in the DMZ (in the router settings), as this will get you away from the onboard firewall type thingy. And if you still have problems just call that lovely EA helpline that will hopefully not be charged at a premium rate.

Don't put you pc in the DMZ ..... If you have a router or firewall just open the ports it tells you in the manual or in the readme.txt
