So what happened to the pre-load?
- 6 years ago
For me when i got the email and notification saying preload was available it kept saying “download failed” and then the date would change to a future date.
currently the Origin app on my PC says Sep 30 is my preload date.- 6 years ago
I can imagine why they are postponing the pre-load:
The keep finding and fixing bugs.. so instead of preloading something that needs replacing, they just wait.
What annoys me is that they sent the notification of pre-load for the 25th, keep postponing it and leaving us in the dark, rather than just sending a new mail apologizing for the delay.
That would be the decent thing to do.
So while we wait.. time to do some warm up by playing the old X-Wing and Tie Fighter (can be acquired from GoG).

What would be ideal is if an EA community manager just posted a sticky message at the top of the board just saying the pre-load option has been cancelled and a brief overview of why.
Think it would go a long way to helping the community and players.
Yes, there's no preload at all now, my "preload" date is the same as launch date on my Play Launcher.
I'm wary though, I'd actually rather they postponed the launch now until they're sure they have a fully working product...seems they're cutting it too close for my liking and I don't like the image of devs being forced into a crunch for this title.
