Problems with EA downloader? Try this fix.

O.k here is the thing. I downloaded Crysis warhead and Crysis wars from EA games shop. installed warhead first played fine.... yay.... When it came to Crysis wars well, that's when the rage started... installed fine... went to play and nothing.. spoke to EA support. (like talking to a 5yo)
Then called a friend around (too heads better then one) Well we fixed it.

This is what we needed to be done. "release date verification"

I am to the understanding ALL games downloaded from EA's downloader need this to be run. And it's ment to run on install.

If it has not, and you cant get it to work, try this.....

note: this is for 'crysis wars'. and it was installed when I did this.

go into
C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EADM\cache\{ 2270120453 }\crysis_warhead_na_mp\data\Bin32\82E0AFE3\9DE30FC C'

find the Crysis wars exe. file and run it.

It will dissapear and a "release date verification" window will appear and want to connect to net. Let it.
once finished a new exe. file will appear.

I still had to uninstall and reinstall game. but now it works.
I did the same to my EA downloaded '2142' it works as well now.

This fix can be used for all EA downloaded games.

You will be looking for the downloaded content.
In C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EADM\cache

now look for the game you are haveing problem with.

Find the bin32 file, for the game in question.
And run the EXE. of that game.

You should get a "release date verification" window to open.

If so uninstall your game and reinstall it. You do not need to redownload the game or reinstall EA downloader manager.
Your game should now work. If not good luck with EA.

I hope this helps someone..
