Ok, tried adding some information to my post on what can possibly prevent PC users from using this workaround, but it just disappeared altogether instead. Oh well. Sorry for the inconvenience, guys.🙂
This is a repost of my earlier solution, hopefuly it can be pinned again.
A Temporary Fix for PC/PS4:
-> launch the game and go to the game settings
-> uncheck all 3 options of syncing your data with the servers (send my data to the keep, send my data to EA, log in automatically)
-> restart the game
-> log in manually - I saw that some people miss these steps, you need to restart the game for this to work.
-> start a new game
If you are still having problems, check if you have Origin In-Game Overlay turned on. If turned off, it may result in a "not able to find the custom world state" error. Tested this multiple times on my DAI and Origin clients. Hope it helps.
For the Golden Nug issue, please see this post by the amazing @Bethrezenxlx (many thanks for the solution!)
No problem! :D
