I connected to origins via south korean VPN. The game now says:

Pre-Download is available: 14/11/2014 at 06:00.
Time now is:                       14/11/2014 at 13:54

I still cannot click "download" anywhere. 

The only issue I can think of is if South Korea does not use a 24 hour clock. But the time does NOT state 06.00PM.

Any ideas?

Switched to Korean VPN and it's 6 p.m. (18:00) for me, so no worries!

Oh! I restarted the Origin client and yeah, now it says 18:00 (06:00PM) and not 06:00.

My life is living hell atm :D I'm suffering inside out waiting to pre-load the game alone lol.

Me too! Knowing the game is actually on the PC is a way to cope mentally. It is a big step towards the game being playable soon.

These last days Ive been spending all my time on DA:I related content and forums. I cant do anything productive because DA:I has done a hostile take-over in my head. 

Can not think anything not DA:I... can ... not... must... have...

Can I join the club of people pointlessly waiting for the pre-load to unlock?

 

Korean VPN changed my download date, but not the pre-load time...

what vpn are you guys using? the only one with korean servers I can find won't work.
But I guess i can just use a proxy server to unlock it monday. It'll be slow but I don't really need to download anything through it

As far as I know most countries in Asia will unlock at the same time, so I don´t think it´ll matter if you connect to a VPN in another country than S. Korea.

I'm from Asia and based on the time origin's showing i should be able to preload the game now but there's no download button anywhere? Any ideas? I already tried restarting.

 

EDIT: nvm, can download now.

Wait, I was planning on downloading it regularly and unlocking with Korean VPN, will that not be possible? Do I need to do both?

Yes, apparently you have to log into your VPN and start DL it - you can exit your VPN after some MBs (to be on the safe side a couple of hundred MBs). You can DL it reguarly to 98% - and then use your VPN again.

was posted in another thread applies if you are still getting processed i think.:

 

Apparently you have to wait for 17th of November for it to preload because you don't get charged before that time, i spoke with the EA customer support and they confirmed that you get charged when the preload gets unlocked in your region (which is 17-11-2014 at 5pm GMT), using a VPN now means you will pay with different regional currency which WILL get you banned. If you go into your account details and order history, you can check your order status, which in the European case should be still processing.

Is this really true? For instance, it shouldn't be a problem for Europeans to just pre-load it normally on Monday and still be able to unlock it on the same day via VPN.

Unless I'm missing something.

I've looked at the guides released for Titanfall and they all have using the Korean VPN for preload as well as unlock. Not sure if it's required, as I haven't seen anyone definitely state they couldn't do it without taking those steps, but I'm going to err on the side of caution. You might be able to dig around in the Titanfall VPN threads on reddit to see if anyone discussed it. I'll do that when I get home, probably, just out of curiosity, so if I see anything on it, I'll post.

Yeah, I'm going to do that, too. What confused me most is this 'thing' about enabling VPN again shortly before the download ends, as it's usually enough to download 10-20MB via VPN and then disable it for the rest.

That is strange, I got charged at the day I bought the game on Origin.

Also using VPN can have it dangers, so people should be at least conscious of it. Especially free VPNs. I am going to wait till the 00:00 21th because I still have to finish Alien: Isolation and with the gog.com sales I have entertainment till then. Small SSD is a pain in a ass at times.

Preloading DA:I right now.  :D

 

You can disconnect the VPN after the download starts. Origin continues to download anyway.

I don't know what VPN means, but as far as the early download . . .

This is my experience. Origin says it is available for pre-load on the 14th at 12:00pm and beyond. It's after 12:00pm on the 14th and I still cannot pre-load.  So, I'm assuming it means 12:00 in another time zone or something. I guess I just have to wait some more.
