I've been staying away while I played the early access stuff so if this is already answered in the thread I apologize but I do have a question which concerns me. Having pre-ordered and downloaded the digitial Super Deluxe version some time ago (on Xbox One) I signed up to EA Access to get the trial. As I understood it the devs were originally saying that if you had pre-ordered the Early Access should unlock all the bonus content but none of this content seemed to be there. Was that everyone else's experience or is there some issue with my pre-order and EA Access not being linked properly or something? The deluxe version goodies are not in the early trial. The helmet and nomad skin from the AI website is though but you need to go to the cabin on the Tempest to get them. Thanks, I was hoping that was the case. Yeah the Mission Briefing rewards did show up.

I've heard some people say they've gotten more time on the trial, but how? Do you use another account to subscribe then switch back to your main and get another ten? I subscribed to EA Access on Xbox then (cheekily) got a full refund when my ten hours was up. Was thinking of using another account to sub and refund again. Yep, you just need to sign up to ea access with a different account, log in with that account, then switch to the want you want to use while the other is logged in. You can keep on repeating it as much as you like, sign up then cancel and get the refund. The only thing is you may not be able to use the same credit card on separate accounts, I signed up for the first one with my credit card, played the 10 hours and then got the refund. But it has not gone through yet as it is the weekend, so I used paypal that is linked to my bank account for the 2nd time, 3rd time I just used the voucher code. I feel like this is basically begging for an XBL ban...

Question for you guys who have it: how long are we gated from armor (and specially) casual outfit customization?
Cause white pants... ugh!

You can customise casual wear straight away no? I managed to do it, but some people found it didn't work.
On another note, only 3 outfits? and two of them are the same but with long or short sleeves???

You're boasting about defrauding the company by getting refunds for a product you used, then doing that again, etc. It clearly states you can get a refund within 30 days, how is that unethical? I have got a refund one time, the second time I used paypal and got a month code from cdkeys, so no refund, third time I won a voucher. Maybe you should read first before making accusations, I mentioned it can be done several times if you wanted to, never that I did.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm getting the same "black screen" issue that some other people have mentioned: the game's window opens for a few seconds after I launch it, and then closes itself without so much as an error message. I've tried a number of solutions, including everything related to it that EA lists on their help page, plus repairing the install and the Visual C++ executables - nothing has worked. Currently I'm trying to contact their tech support, but it's been about an hour and I haven't gotten to talk to anyone yet; granted, I'm sure they're dealing with a high volume of people right now. Any advice?
I'm running Windows 10 with an Intel i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 4000-series Intel integrated graphics (yes, I know integrated is terrible, I'm working on getting a real graphics card ASAP).

I am a laptop user with i7 ivybridge series and geforce 640m GT.. also with 8gb of RAM. ME:A was running poorly even in the lowest setting. I had to put my RX480 eGPU on, in order to play this game. And also, it seems this game is also CPU intensive. I can play TW3 in 900p High/Ultra, but ME:A runs barely at 30 fps on 900p low/medium settings.

Do you think that's why it won't open properly, then, or could it be something else? Because if a better GPU is all I need, then I'll go ahead and get that taken care of; however, if the immediate issue is elsewhere, then I'd rather fix that first.

I once tried to run ME:A early access with crappy old office laptop (i5 sandybridge, 6GB RAM, Intel HD3000) and got notification that my poor integrated VGA doesn't support DX11. After pressing OK, the game didn't close and gave me a black screen.

I might try updating a few more drivers (and hopefully actually get into contact with EA's tech support eventually), but in the meantime it sounds like I should start looking into GPUs. Thanks for the information.

I'm fairly sure it's a bug and they're fixing it. Down the bottom it should say "confirm [space bar]" or something similar but it doesn't. So most people miss it

Hey asking for friend. Bought the super deluxe for Xbone, had nothing in the special deliveries box on the tempest, not even the helmet or the nomad skin from watching the Initiative videos. Anyone else having the same issue? Has synced the accounts and worked fine with all the previous games.

I got a friendly reminder at 30 minutes left. I got one when I logged in and it said I had less than 4 hours but it didn't remind me again just killed the game in the middle of what I was doing when the time was up!
