Re: Pre order processing

@Mik3QX

EA charge pre-ordered games only very close to release date and they do that for two good reasons.

1.) The costumer keeps his money until he actually gets a product.

2.) If they would charge right after pre-order the would have to re-transfer the money for every costumer that change his mind.

    Hello I have a similar problem kind of. I pre-order the game at the 1st of march got the receipt and all and i just checked it today in my origin launcher and it says pre-order failed. I then checked my order history and the status says processing. What does that mean in the end? That my pre-order didn't go through and basically lost the percs of it or that it will go normal today since today is the release date in Europe?

    If you don't have the game in your Game library and the order history shows that your order didn't go through, you should try it again.

    If that also fails you should contact EA directly. If you are not from the US change the country in the top right corner.

    If you have trouble with the contact attempt look at this guide

    Do you still don't have access to the expansion packages you bought?

    If that is the case, you should contact EA directly. If you are not from the US change the country in the top right corner.

    "We've billed you for your order but some item may have not been delivered yet" in this case just means that the expansion packages is not yet released.

    You will be able to play it as soon as it is released.
