Is it really region locked? couldn't you just activate de code using a vpn?

Hello, I bought the US version (cheaper than the EU version) but I had not seen the region locked problem when I activated.

I managed to activate by switching my account to US as explained, then immediately after I switched my account back to FR, so I have the game that appears well on my Origin, will I be able to play or is this going to have a problem?

If you see a sign saying "Will not activate in your region!" below "Add to cart" button, then no.

If you're purchasing from the US store it cannot be activated in Europe, however you can use the UK/DE/FR stores and it'll work for you.

Hi there, unfortunately that's correct. There's more to it than just the IP location. There are other factors taken into account when trying to activate the game like Origin region settings, payment handle and probably others. Your activation attempt will be blocked. EA is thorough with their region locks.
