I ended up buying the game on my xbox as since the beta i have not once been able to load into the menu it was first the black window glitch now it says account is restricted I have tried everything that online can suggest i''m running a modern build pc and double checked I have no such restrictions especially as I use the same account on my xbox so has to be a EA app issue which I also did a full fresh reinstall on.
i'm stumped if anyone could suggest anything ontop the obvious suggested online like reinstalls and secure boot etc i'm all ears

- I own the game on PS5 and downloaded Red Sec from the EA Play app on PC.
- PS5 version works fine. No restriction. EA Play says account restricted.
- I then bought the full game on EA Play on my 2nd account so I had the Full version on PC and deleted Red Sec on OC and re-installed the FULL game on 2nd account.
- I then tried to use my account to Log in via EA Play and play the full game using my main 1st account so with all my progress and it still says 'Account Restricted' on PC. On my main Moonswan account.
- Come on guys this has gone on forever since release and you still have not worked it out!

- To clarify, the 2nd EA account I bought BF6 again on PC for works fine. Signing into the 1st account that I use on PS5 and is my primary 'Moonswan' EA account is restricted on PC but not on PS5 where I also purchased the game.
- Come on guys this has gone on forever since release and you still have not worked it out!
