I just bought the game yesterday and have managed to install it. When I go through origin and select play it will launch the application but I don't see anything to select besides "View update" which takes me to a page that tells me I'm not authorised to view.

There is also the update bar which I'm guessing I need to complete before I can play, is that right? I don't usually play PC games so I have no idea what I'm doing so sorry for the dumb question! Also how big is update 10?

Yes :) you have to let the update bar go all the way to 100%. Then you'll click a button to the right which will restart the application and apply the update.

 

And I would assume that update 10 is of decent size because it contains offline mode and whatnot, but I'm not entirely sure.

    Thanks! I looked so many places but haven't been able to find out how big the update is either. My internet is pretty slow so will take a few hours to download before I can play.

    Well with offline mode :) once this update is done, you shouldn't have to worry about your slow internet connection :D but the first time through, you'll need it in order to access offline mode.

    My connection is fine to play online, it's just slow to download. I tried to download last night and it had only done 25% in 30 mins so I'm guessing it's a few gigs at least.
