Hello, i figure because the .dat file was larger then original maybe that took extra time to load ?? not really sure. I dont know anything about programing so out of my area.

i have had no problems so far playing single player. other than im stuck in Alexandria. playing on hard difficulty but i just cant seem to get past this level..

if you updated the original already fine just copy the .dat over the in the retail/1.9 folder.

second question tho. I bought my game opened from a online store, that said the game was never registered. however when i tryd to register it with EA they said it already was registered ?? and the wouldnt let me choose my user name. on one screen it said their was no user name like the one i chose, then it said it was already in use ?? even tried different variations with the same effect. i had to pick one of the suggestions the had for me to get it to move forward in the registration process.

if I contact EA what are my chances they'll give me a new key ????

The .dat file is larger because it has been uncompressed. (It runs actually faster than the original because the all kinds of shit that the copy protection contains is not executed anymore.)

EA has a bad reputation when it comes to (all kinds of) user support. If you think your key has been stolen (would be nothing new, unfortunately) and would like to get things straight then, by all means, contact them but make sure to have some proof of purchase (original box, manual, DVD, invoice/bill/receipt etc.) handy as well as your refrigerator stuffed with food for a few weeks...
