To those of you trying a clean install and it hasn't worked, are you downloading the game or installing from a physical disk copy? I have the disks and reinstalling from those has brought the game back to the base version. It does tell mto update but I have auto update off and I play in offline mode now.

Ah I have the digital deluxe copy, so whenever I download it it must download the patch also?

That is my guess as well. I also have the digital deluxe, and I tried the clean install with auto-update turned off.  Did not help, so I was thinking the download must have the updates built-in or they push the update right along with the main game files.

That sucks ☹️ I can't even play pre-patch. They have got to fix it...

They really, really do.  I was reluctant to try reinstall but then figured it surely must install base game from disk as only base info is on them.  I feel for you, I really do.  For everyone who is currently unable to play.  It is atrocious for this to happen.  Has there even been any official annoucement stating they're aware of it yet?

EA_David has been closing other posts regarding these issues and directing people to this thread. So they are aware of it, just not actually addressing it.
