EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHi @weepizzaface and @rafoufoun,
Have you tried re-downloading Battlefield 2042? It might still see the Ultimate Edition on your account instead of the Standard Edition.
A clear cache and re-download could fix this.
I have the same issue.
Preordered the gold edition and cancelled the preorder.
After ordering the standard edition, I'm not able to install it, because EA Desktop still thinks I ordered the gold edition and just interrupts the install with that hiccup error message.
I remember that at the moment when I was between canceling the gold edition and ordering the standard edition, EA Desktop always claimed I preordered the gold edition.
Clearing cache or reinstalling the EA Desktop app doesn't help. It's the same when installing it on a different system, that never had EA Desktop installed before.
I've got a similar problem. Pre-ordered, canceled.
Then because curiosity got the better of me. got a key from a third party reseller and registered it.
Getting the "There was a hiccup" message when trying to download. BF2042 is the only game with problems.

Hey @f0rcefl0w,
As you received the code through a third party, it might not work on the EA app. This is a known issue and the teams have been made aware.
If you download and install the game through Origin it should work for you.
