Until it is released on steam I'll just install this and star at the screen.

I want to be first to complain about pack luck.

jokah03 · 03-18-2019, 10:37 AM

I did something very stupid and seemed to have deleted my pre-order email that had the license code in it. What are my options?

If you cannot find the confirmation email, no problem. eSellerate has an after-purchase-support page, where you can find all your orders and receipts online. Please open the after-sales-support page here. Next to "Finding your order number", in the second section on that page, enter the email address that you used when you made the purchase.

Id assume there is some sort of customer support contact, id go through them.

After that is in their hands to verify you and your purchase id assume before they give you another code.

Activating is now taking forever!

Can someone broadcast on YouTube?

SidHickenbottom · 03-18-2019, 11:09 AM

And it crashes every time, just scanning around team pages. 4 for 4 so far. Seems to happen when creating pictures.

Make sure you update your graphic card drivers please. That will fix the issue.

wallewalls · 03-18-2019, 11:46 AM

Where can we put things that need fixed before the final release? Already found a couple, Eric Thames should be a FA after this season assuming his option is declined, but is arb eligible in game

Waiting for the EMail all morning, then I finally come across this...two hours late.

Sigh.
