Are we killing EA's servers? I can usually get ~3-4 MB/sec downloads on Steam or GOG, but I'm getting less than 500 KB/sec right now.

So on my Xbox I'm seeing the full file download. I didn't pre order digitally ( I really wanted the physical copy), should I be seeing all 43.90 GB just for the trial? Yep. it downloads it fully since most doing the trial already pre-ordered it so they don't have to re-download it again Makes sense, I was just worried I was sneakily charged twice (once for the deluxe edition and then here again for the "trial"). I don't usually play trial versions of games so I wasn't quite sure how large the file size should be. 😁

Downloaded the update on Xbox One and can't play the game. Amazing. Try launching the trial through the EA access application Doesn't work.

Try launching the trial through the EA access application Doesn't work. What country are you from? i know some regions haven't unlocked America being one of them according to the bioware MP stream about an hour ago their due it tomorrow. Also you deffinately have got EA Access right? sounds silly but some forum goers thought that the preorder meant they got the trial so just ruling that out. If your from a region where others have the game unlocked, and you definitely have EA Access try a hard reboot of your xbox.

I've gone down from 7 point something megs to high fours/low fives. Of course, it is dinnertime, and half of my ISP's customers are coming home now to surf, so that may impact it as well. Whatever. I just hit 42%. See you all on the other side!

Mine has been steady at 2,5mb, which is normal for me. So we can actually play from 42%? I might stay up all night after all.

I can see the free trial, move the cursor onto it, but it won't click. I just keep getting that terrible Xbox bing.

My preloading has begun.
I've already browsed the folders and I've discovered how many crit path missions there are in the game. If you want to know, go to the spoilers forum. The spoiler isn't in the title, don't worry.

Not sure, I haven't dared start it up yet - all the other EA games with "You can play at X" only lets you run around and do pretty much nothing, so there is little reason to waste the precious time on it.

Couple of questions..
1. I thought we couldnt actually play until tomorrow. Isn't this just a pre-load? 2. Someone said the 10 hours starts on running the game from desktop. I can see this being the case, but isn't unlimited multiplayer included? If I play 3 hours multiplayer, but dont touch the campaign, I thought I'd have 10 hours left to try the camptaing still? I could be way off.

I could be way off. 1) there is no preload just different time zones unlocking game at different times all by 16th though 2)Yes from as soon as you click on the games .exe file, no unlimitied multiplayer you would have 7 hours left for single player in your example The misconception about multiplayer is that unlike single player their is no content lock you can constantly progress in MP for the whole 10 hours unlike SP which locks off at a specific story point.

There was confusion but multiplayer counts towards the 10 hours unless they changed their minds in the past few days

Question:
Do I have to download the trial separately from the main game? Or can I just download the main game and then get trial Access?
Asking because the Trial says it's a 45 gig + download and the game is another on top of that and I don't have unlimited Internet access.

I'm also wondering. Has anyone tried playing at 42%? I'm curious as to how much we have access to at 42%. I know with Titanfall 2 I could play it while it was downloading, but the only thing it let me do was the tutorial mission until it was completely finished downloading. Since I don't wanna waste any trial time, I think I'll wait till 100% to even try it.

Now, THAT is the 'plot-twist'.. I've unsubscribed from OA on 09.03, but I've managed to put the trial into my lib before that. Just in case. I'm pretty sure it was gone right after I've unsubscribed... Gues what? I've got a letter from origin. In Dutch(?!!?...ok, Origin). It says I can preload my free trial.. Now, who am I to say 'no' to the MEA free (like - totally free, I'm unsubbed) trial?..

I'm confused. Can we download and play the trial yet? I click on the Free trial icon next to andromeda in the Xbox marketplace, and it just takes me to the EA access screen in the Xbox store. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? The trial may not be live in your region, if it is try starting the trial through the EA access application on your xbox rather than through the marketplace.
