yikes, won't let you download after vpn disconnect?
that basically means you can forget downloading this, unless you have a pay-vpn

Restart Origin. I'm downloading now: http://i.imgur.com/FJqXzvQ.jpg Won't let me download after disconnecting from VPN, though.

Edit: The Origin download size is 268.32MB.

Tried that, didn't work, I'm using overplay vpn.

Must be the VPN. Currently (slowly) downloading @ 20% complete, using blackVPN.

Forget this.

We won't be able to play this game for while.
Tomorrow servers will go down.
And only after tons of moderated furious posts on official forum, accounts banned and such...
Then, they will eventually successfully fix the servers next week.

Dear Customer,
You will receive your key on the release date provided on the product description site or a day before.
Our keys come from an European distribution and we still not have them.


and ofc they´re from poland so unlike most EU county´s i gonna get that key on the 7th instead of 5th :<

It would appear it's not the vpn thats the issue for me, as I've just tried blackvpn. So I wonder if theres some sort of region locking in the key issued on the account, I bought the game on the origin store.

Ah, that's why. From my understanding, Origin doesn't give the key when preordering, it displays it as XXXX's, you have to wait for Origin to process the order and give you the key. I ordered last night via GMG and the key was emailed to me immediately.

Yeah you should see the game in the Origin client (Though I guess it still needs Steam to download so it's just for the key.) and pressing the little i/info button will display additional details including the product key, if it's not sent then as explained above it'll just be a bunch of X marks.
(You usually also get a e-mail shortly after the product has been made available.)

If I use these VPN shenanigans it won't default the game to some strange language will it? Also, can I disconnect from the VPN to play regularly after the download/install?

Only certain of your first question so far. English-us is what is being downloaded for me. I believe it goes by your Origin preferences. Cannot disconnect from VPN during this initial 268MB download or the game reverts to unreleased, will attempt to again once it has finished. The closer I get to completing the download, the slower my download speed is.

Edit: Finished downloading. Clicked play, waited for game to launch, and disconnected from VPN. Currently Processing Large File without issue.

After Processing Large File the game size is 3.79GB. Still disconnected from VPN and able to play the game. Have to go through the stupid tutorial again, though.

I used Super Hide IP 3.2.8.2 and connected to the Malaysia VPN. Apart from needing to type in an extra Captcha when trying to login to Origin, it seems to be downloading fine (50-250kb/s, but it's only a 268MB file).

How is this one entire city? it looks like a tiny corner of a city, Those white lines make it worse. Notice how all the buildings start looking the same makes the whole thing look like much smaller. You can see what EA is trying to do here, they're gonna charge extra for some dlc pak to unlock bigger city sizes or some shit

Well, I'm shit out of luck. Although the game downloaded and installed fine, it won't activate using that Malaysian VPN - asks for a product code, and then says it has already been used (I added it a few days ago to my Origin account when GMG emailed it to me.)

On top of that, I now have a pop-up saying another PC is logged into the account every time I try to login, even when I've disconnected and logged out of Origin with that VPN. Bleh.
