Fix FIFA 18 Installation Freezes, Hangs and Not Loading

The full version of FIFA 18 is now available for PC, major game consoles: PS, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. However, many players have reported that they are experiencing some FIFA 18 problems such as errors, freezes or hangs during the installation process, crashes on start up, missing download buttons and game won’t load issues. In this troubleshooting guide, we share the best fixes for some of the  FIFA 18 problems.

Missing Download Button

Some players complained about missing download button. If you did not buy the game directly on Origin, but from other third party dealers, there may be delays here. EA is aware of the problem and working on it.

To fix this issue you can use the third party key to contact the appropriate dealer, who can still unlock the game for you.

Missing Pre-Order Extras / Special Edition Bonuses

Some players are experiencing missing special edition bonuses and extras from pre-order. To find your missing pre-order bonuses and extras proceed as follows:

- Start the FUT mode
- Scroll down the menu to the unassigned items. There you’ll find your missing bonus items.

Missing Final Journey / FUT Champion Rewards

Here, too, you have to be patience. There may be relatively long delays before you find the rewards in the shop. (FIFA 18 Icon Edition pack / FUT loan player pack / Bonus players like Ronaldo can also be found as unopened card packs in the shop)
