Re: Steam - Error Code 918

@EA_Atic  Even I am having the same problem.Same as the fellow mate.Did all steps u asked but did not work

@EA_Atic Nope all defenders are down

I only use the standard windows defender have no VPN nothing is blocking it from that end @EA_Atic 

@Tropicano2096  anything worked?

@EA_Atic, same with me. I bought from steam. My steam account is linked to EA.com but the game does not yet show on my origin app.

No firewall right now, i allowed squadrons to go through. Still showing 918 after password reset and set up TFA.

Nope nothing here how about you? @gamer_to_heart 

@Tropicano2096 Nothing yet...Seriously wth us wrong

@Tropicano2096  @awyoung  Many people are having problem through steam client

The stars maybe aligned with Fifa21 and their servers being down as well.

Looks like it was bad to time the 2 games to go live together?

@gamer_to_heart  I'm not sure if it'll show up in origin, the stupid part is my mate can connect fine 

@awyoung You know what that might be a reason

Did your mate buy it from steam? @Tropicano2096 

@gamer_to_heart  yep all through steam

@Tropicano2096  see I bought ea play on steam so I got a little early access.But I dont have it on origin.Can that be a reason? @awyoung  @EA_Atic 

@gamer_to_heart@awyoung my mates doesn't show up on origin either so I think that maybe it's not running through orig

@EA_Atic  yep long time back. I have bought other ea titles too

@EA_Atic  Did u find any problem..Pls fix it waiting for it since 3-4 months

@Tropicano2096 whats ur steam id? I wanna add u as friend

@Tropicano2096 @gamer_to_heart @awyoung 

Hey folks,

A few items to summarize:

• If you play via Steam, you don't need Origin
• You still need to have your EA account connected through Steam
• The game isn't live everywhere yet. We started release at 12am local time for New Zealand, and we're rolling it out 12am local time to the rest of the world right now.
• Please double-check your orders were successful, and that your pre-order hasn't failed
• Make sure you're not playing via a VPN

In the meantime, I've flagged Error Code 918 to our teams so we can check it out. Thanks for your patience, and hopefully we'll get you into the game soon.

@Straatford87  Thanks

I will try again tom 11:30 A.M IST....Hoping for the best @Straatford87

@Straatford87 , no VPN. Download via steam and unlocked and unpacked via steam. I live in Hong Kong. Single player plays fine, I already finished the intro episodes. And my steam account is connected to EA.com. ( I checked this again).

Hi everyone, 

Marking this as a solution just for visibility. 

We're working on gathering up some additional information to pass along to the team to help with the investigation into this error. When you have a chance please provide the following information: 

- Your Steam Username

- The time you first tried logging into the game (including your time zone)

I'll forward this information to the team for a look. Thanks!
