I pre order SWS and play it on Xbox one, but I cant get the pre order bonus skins you get from it, for me it says unlock this in operation 2, anyone know how to get it?

Hi everyone, Thanks for sticking with us during launch. We have now pushed out a fix for Steam users that experienced Error 918, and were missing pre-order content after that error code was resolved. I've already seen confirmations from you that the pre-order content is now showing up. That's good news, and thanks again for letting us know. I hope you'll enjoy customizing your ships and pilots. I'll now be closing this thread so if any new issues pop up, we can start a new discussion.

I have the game on steam. The Pre-order content says it is downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere. Have played for about 5h, mostly campaign

I'm on PC (Steam) with the same issue. I did have the 918 error before and it works now so maybe an issue with it there?

@hapyzach29 yes the 918 error has fixed a lot! but still, no pre-order skins showing. I'm not too fussed, but now I can actually play online tho, I want to be able to change my look haha

I am also having this problem. The game was pre-purchased for me via steam (as a gift) and I can see the "STAR WARS: Squadrons Pre-Order Edition Content" in my manage DLC section of my steam library. However once I am in the game, none of the pre-order content has been unlocked.

Same here, I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it's still locked and says available in Operation 2.

Anyone not get their pre-order bonus? When I hover over it, it's locked with "Unlock in Operation 2" or something like that. I pre-ordered it on steam, got the avatar border and stuff but not my in game items. This may have to do with Error 918, since when I launch it just through steam my multiplayer will not work. However, when I open Origin with my steam already opened and then launch the game, the multiplayer works. Idk, the DLC is installed and enabled in my steam. I'd really like to get my items for pre-ordering.

I have also had this exact same problem except through Steam, as well as previously had the 918 error issue.
It seems too much of a coincidence that we all had this issue right after that one. Just an observation.
I would also like to mention that I contacted support and they informed me that they were aware of and working on the issue,
so hopefully we will see a solution to this in the near future.
