EA Downloader Service

Re: EA Downloader Service

How does this thing work? I download it with my EA account. Install it and when it opens. It comes with an X error... it doesn't let me log in at all.. Download is not corrupt because i tried to download it with different accounts i got and i still have the same.

Any ideas?

Look at my thread 2 back from this......you will be able to install it "only" on the day of release in EU or US.

Re: EA Downloader Service

Let me get this straight...

EA eliminates all packaging AND shipping costs AND they drastically cut the distribution time, yet they still charge the same price as the boxed version and it can't be played until the retail release date.

What a joke!!!

I'm all for online software distribution but there needs to be an incentive to the customer to make it viable. All the current system does is increase their profit margin and leave you without a backup.

Re: EA Downloader Service

Uhm... no. Its doesn't. Steam is owned by Valve.

Yes they do own steam but when you buy a Valve game At a store, it was shipped by EA. A little deal they got goin on.

Yes you can DL the game now.

It only saves the game program file to your HD.

It dose not open / install.

You will only be able to install it (the game) Via the EA downloader program when the correct time and date for the official release for the particular part of the world you live in comes round

All fact :)

The only thing I'm curious about is why is the fre@king clock wrong?

I downloaded it, I downloaded SF, its running with its little countdown clock. I'm in the US so I should be somewhere around 9 days 1hr and so many minutes...

Except my clock says 11 days 1h and so many minutes. As though according to their clock me apparently buying it through their service as to eliminate having to go to the store that day and just being able to install and play right away is bull and I'll get to play it 2 days later?



Anyone else have the wrong time till release on their clock? Check carefully.

Re: EA Downloader Service

As long as EA doesn't become zealous with the downloader like Valve did with Steam, the downloader should be very handy.

It better not lag me out though!

Is your clock in BIOS on your PC correct M8?
Is your time EST or WST etc in the U.S.
I'm just guessing but it should be the same for all U.S. Downloads????

I totally agree with you on that m8.
I have to admit i was trying to beat the system a bit but to my own downfall.
