Main Menu: Early Buyer Items Giftbox Icon Doesnt Display Despite Owning Content

Platform: EA App

For me anyway, last three recent packs (LD, LS, FR) are missing the giftbox icon that shows I have access to the early buyer items. All packs were bought before the date specified for these items (hence why they are in my game) but the giftbox icon does not show like it does for the others. 

 

Giftbox Icon Missing for the last three packsProof I do have access to these items

  • I also have this issue, but with Horse Ranch, For Rent, and Lovestruck. I know it's something incredibly minor because I have the items and it's just a little icon, but it really bothers me.

     

  • I'm also having this issue on my sister's account. first early incentive packs have the tags but the latest ones have nothing

    Hi all,

    If you're still experiencing issues with this content, please provide the following details to help us look into this further:

    -Did you preorder these packs, or did you purchase them after they were fully launched?
    -Did you purchase your packs directly through the EA app, or did you purchase a third-party code? 
    -Did you start having issues after a specific patch, or have you been having issues since the DLC launched?

    Thank you!

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions can be found here. Please also include a link to the thread the save is for.

    Thanks!

  • Here is a screen grab, I know it's no big deal as I actually have the preorder DLC, but it does not show the little orange package icon on the DLC like it does all the others, even thought its in my account...

     

  • Hey all! 

    I'm also experiencing this issue today after redeeming codes I was gifted for Adventure Awaits (one for the pack and one for the early purchase content - bought seperately) by a friend who bought it on CDKeys since you can't gift through the EA App.

    I have bought every other pack through the EA App, and this is the first one that does not display the icon for the early purchase content, so my assumption is it's related to not purchasing directly through the EA App?

    I've dm'd you my save folder, let me know if you need anything more from me to help?

    Like the others above, I have the actual three early purchase items in game so it's not the end of the world; but the missing icon issue does bother me, so I hope this helps in getting to the bottom of the issue!
