Thanks , I did the above, and created an account, when i run the T3A online launcher in admin mode, I can launch BFME2 V1.09 (using the patch switcher to switch to 1.09),
and i get to the multiplayer online EA registration page. I enter the T3A account logon details I created, but when i press login, I only get "Cannot connect to BFME II online".
When I set my nickname however on the login page on the game console, I can see on my profile on the T3A online site, it has updated. I can only delete and update my nickname atm.
