Can't download Get Famous, Help!

I pre-ordered Get Famous, and now its 12:30 am here in Michigan, and it says the game is available when I select my game, but when I try to select it to download I can't, it won't even allow me to select it, its like it isn't  selectable, which doesn't make sense! 

Has Maxis changed Origin? Making it where we have to download ep and stuff ourselves, instead of it automatically doing it for us? 

If so, then why can't I select it to download? Please answer me soon!

    Rightclick the game in your Game Library and select Update.

  • I had this issue too. I talked to EA support and they said they would give me a refund to reorder it.

    If your game is updated and this this problem still exists
    You can tray reinstal Origin too. After installation right click on the Origin icon and start Origin as Administrator.

    I figured out the reason mine wasn't working. When you pre-order the game they just put a hold on the money but don't actually charge you. Which means if you use the money before the game comes out, it won't work. So you will have to check if you didn't use the money already. I happened to use the money and not even realize. So I had to repurchase it.
