piper Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) It keeps retrying no matter which server I try... using Windows 8.1 . Tried with Firewall Off as well. So in the event it connects, I just login to Origin and it shows preload option? Edit : It connected to some server, and I was able to login to Origin. But still no preload option. Dafuq???

piper Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Tried lots. Korean, Vietnam, Russia. Origin logs in but gives no preload option. Can anyone share steps, specific proxy servers, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somu Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 You need to download the VPN tool from VPN Gate and select a US server. Once you are logged in, check by opening google or something. After that, open Origin and the preload option should be enabled. For details on the VPN tool check this : http://www.vpngate.net/en/howto_softether.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step 1) download http://www.flyvpn.com/download Step 2) get the Login Details from: http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial (The Password on this Site is changed every 20min, so you have to look at it before you connect to the VPN.) Step 3) Start the FlyVPN Step 4) Enter the login Details Step 5) Choose a Korean VPN Server from the List Step 6) Click on Connect Step 7) start Origin done!

rahul Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Apparently they'll flag your account if you do this workaround. You won't be able to purchase in the future. Anyone got any more clarity on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I reinstalled Origin while on US VPN. It shows US store. But BF4 only shows as pre-ordered. No preload option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any more clarity on this? Umm, no. Using it for years, no such issue. Even Lion Martinez said you can use VPN yesterday on Twitter. (will affect performance though, lag and sh*t).

Did they charge you yet? If no, then you have to wait till Indian pre-load date (they will charge your card 1-2 days before release).

piper Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I guess order completion is the issue, order status is "charged", normally it should be "completed". Why me? Trying to contact EA via live chat now. Fk fk fk, I'm gonna be out of town from 3rd Nov for two weeks... gotta play some now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven Angel Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 ^^Umm, Talk to support guy and say, you pre-ordered the game from Origin store, that's it. He'll ask for order number to check status, that's it. Wait what? Like in matchmaking and stuff? You will have little high ping, that's it. Once game is released, you can play without vpn. So, it's just for a day or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
