ok full story.
normally I can troubleshoot any problems that this game gives me which is a lot. but in this particular instance, I got the game for my dad for fathers day. we play the ww2 titles over email and keep in touch that way, me living on the west coast of American and him in Ontario Canada. so trying to troubleshoot this with a 60+ year old east European is trouble at the best of times. the last layer of complication is that I got him the shock force 2 bundle on CD not knowing that it didn't include the original so then I had to buy the original so that it would work. he doesn't have access to my Battlefront account so he cant download the base game and I think that's the problem. i was hoping that the bundle would have everything on it and just having the key would unlock it all but I think I'm going to have to get him to download the original, install that then the bundle to make it work.
