Re: No Early Access Battlefield 2042 + EA Play on Steam
Hey Sambo! I also pre-ordered my copy of BF2042 on Steam with an EA Play subscription, and pre-loaded it earlier last night before encountering an issue of launching around midnight EST. What fixed this for me was navigating back to the store page on Steam for BF2042 and selecting the 'Play Now' button shown below, which started the 'Unpacking' process of the pre-load's download from earlier. Image attached for my reference:
I hope this helps!
