I can't find a way to preload battlefield 2042 on EA app via Game Pass's EA play.I find the preload button on origin, but it seems that I can only use my ea play(gained from the game pass) on the ea app because origin doesn't recognize my account as having ea play!
It should be appearing in EA Desktop now, if not restart it.
@DinyTickCNjust EA Scams, most probably they won't roll Beta on EA Desktop leaving part of their EA Play/XboX Game Pass subs on ice. Hope I'm wrong but if I'm right that's my last pass bought
Well looks like even if you get it downloaded they don't have things setup on the backend for the game to acknowledge EA Play via Gamepass subs.
Launched the game and got this. (see screenshot attachment at bottom), others on reddit posts have shown if you launch it right now you can see the menu/lobby. You def don't get that error message.
This was still useful because I have the game downloaded. With EA desktop if you click download on a game and point it to the folder of a copy of the game you already have downloaded, it just quickly scans the files and adds it to your collection ready to play.
So when they finally get this setup right and added to EA desktop I'll just click download, change install directory, point it to the Battlefield V folder I have now and it will not have to re download.

Apparently I was wrong. Look at this, you can use Origin to download files and move them later when they fix and put Beta in EA Desktop (not sure when this will happen tho)
So Steam is a viable option to pre-load, too. Considering bandwidth limits, Steam might actually be the quickest option. :D
