PC.

It has been a while since I tried to get it working, but the general description is that the client side launcher utility won't connect to EA's servers.

They have MASSIVE connection issues that can only be solved by modifying your router ports. Try looking up port forwarding for BFBC2 EA game servers. Try opening them up for the BFBC2 servers and see if it will let you get through. Make sure you use ipconfig within the CMD prompt so that you can be sure that you are forwarding the ports for your computer. Alternatively, you can open up DMZ for your computer via the DMZ tab under applications and gaming in your router options. Doing this helped me get connection.

I had to jump through hoops when my GF first got me the ultimate edition of DA:O, it is a pain, especially if you dont know your way around your router, but it seems like it is the only solution. I have only ever had to do this when patching WoW, and even then, I only had to open a couple ports. It really is unacceptable, but they dont seem to want to change it.

See, I tried that when I was running a router, but I've also had the same issues with direct connections, so I know that isn't the issue. I've even reformatted, and stripped out all security programs.

This angers me more than when iTunes invalidated my copies of the Avatar series.

Stranger still, it worked perfectly fine the first time I ran through the campaign. It was only after completion, literally immediately after (I tried to start my second play-through right after the end credits), that it refused to acknowledge my client.

You say the launcher utility wont connect? have you tried to bypass the launcher?

**dogma**

I haven't, actually, I didn't know that was possible.

I have a no CD crack for it, so I do not need to insert the CD every time I want to play. The crack bypasses the launcher, but there should be a file in the installation folder that the launcher itself has to access to run the game. I believe you should be able to access that file instead of accessing the launcher utility to run the game. I d not see how this would solve your issue, but I suppose it is worth a shot.
