  • Hi there, @Luitjebeast 

    It's possible your anti-virus software is blocking downloads. Try adding an exception for the EA App. Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks!

  • Same here, but for Battlefield 2042. EA app says I own gold edition, EA website says I don't.

    Talked to tech support and found there is an error on their server, so the problem has been escalated to the game team. Will follow this up with the resolve.
