So, if I have EA Access, I'll just be able to download the game (trial?) on the dashboard tomorrow?

Either there or through the EA Access app.

Don't forget to quit the game completely when you exit so you don't use up your hours in standby

Anyone else constantly getting the screen that tells you how many hours you have left popping up while you're in the middle of a game? Literally every 5 minutes. I've died so many times already due to that.

I'm getting that. Seems to be impacting people who got the trial from ea access. I saw on Reddit that it's an EA issue. Hopefully gets fixed soon.
Edit: sounds like it may be related to the preview program. Apparently you can fix it by doing a factory reset while keeping all of your games and apps https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/comment/248599#Comment_248599

Or you could wait for the inevitable patch

Having the same problem too. There's a fix for it but it requires resetting all your xbox settings, including app logins. I'm not in a huge rush to play it and don't want to risk losing any saves, so I'll just wait and hope they eventually fix it. Then again, :dice: , then again, it's probably more of an EA or Xbox problem.

Yeah, its really annoying, even pops up in single player. Looks like you get a badge or unlock or something for doing the full 10 hours though, and my hard copy arrives on Tuesday. So I guess Ill lust take all the extra deaths.

Well, because my gf's little brother linked his account to my Xbox I can't play early.

He has EA Access and bought the game there. I tried launching the game but it tells me to insert the disc or buy another license.

I don't want to gently caress anything up so I ordered it off amazon.

See you guys on October 21, 1914.

If you're homesharing with your gf's brother I think you only need one copy to play, so you don't need to order it off amazon

I tried launching, it told me I didn't own a license. It then gave me a link to the store. It's worked with stuff he didn't buy through EA Access (Overwatch, Fallout 4) but for this it wanted a second license.

EA Access trials don't work with gamesharing as they are specifically tied to that person's Xbox account. If he buys the full game digitally then you'll also have access to it. At the moment, even if he bought the game he's only able to play the 10 hour trial until Tuesday or Friday depending on what version he bought.

Well, with Prime my total came out to $52.

Not sure if the $9 is worth waiting until after the weekend. Might cancel it and see if I can find a BB near me.

That's my plan. If they can't deliver on Friday lll just pick one up from a local store and cancel the Amazon order

The Early Enlister Deluxe Edition comes out the 18th, and Amazon does release day shipping. I think it came out to $69 including tax with the prime 20% discount.

It's taken two whole BF games (plus Star Wars) of me purchasing the season pass but now I'm like "gently caress that."

They split the player base like crazy and everyone ditches the maps after two weeks anyways.

I found a gamestop like half a mile away so I'm going to cancel my Prime order and pick it up from the store on Friday.

A whole weekend of my girlfriend working and a new Battlefield game is better than the $10 in savings.

That's why I don't bother with DLC anymore. It's hard enough to get a big group going and adding DLC makes it even worse.
