Possible FIX for missing Founder pack

This fix may only help people who is using EA App offline method to launch the game (in a spoiler is explanation for people who don't know about EA App offline method)

Spoiler
1. Launch EA App in offline mode
2. Launch the game and wait till main menu
3. Switch EA App back to online and wait until it fully reopens
4. You can now connect to Ultimate team

So the FIX is very simple, you need to use VPN, and with VPN you don't need to use EA App offline method to launch the game

  1. Install VPN and use it (I'm used Proton VPN cuz it's free, you just need to create an account, other VPN programs may work too, but i didn't test them. I'm living in Ukraine, so VPN connected me to Poland, also tried Netherlands, both worked
  2. Launch EA App, then FC 24
  3. When you will be in main menu, if VPN worked, you will see a message in top right corner that you now a Founder (see attached image)
  4. Go to Ultimate team and play 10 minutes of Moments (that what I did)
  5. Next what I did (don't know if this even matter), closed and open the game a few times, but i think this is don't matter
  6. So about 20 minutes after I played Moments, I receive a message in Ultimate team that I have FC Founder pack in store

EA, can you fix servers for Ukraine and other locations so that we could open the game without "offline method". If you didn't know, a lot of people have an issue when the game is launching and intro video is starting, when we see Sam Kerr, game just crashing to desktop without any error, or if you somehow skipped the video, game crashing seconds before main menu should appear. I think in the moment before crash, game checks something with server to give founder status, since we skip this check with "offline method", we don't receive Founder status and Founder pack

  • @WiLLinG1 Hi. Also from Ukraine. Maybe you know other options on how to fix the Founder FC bug? Used another VPN but didn't help.

    I marked @Fear0fLife post as solution cuz this fix also helped, so now there is 2 different solutions on first page

    3 solution I saw that helped players on Steam, but it is a bit hard, need to change your payment region, try it at your own risk

    why can't I edit my messages ???
