 After the game was made available for purchase through EA's Origin delivery service, the high volume of users attempting to download and connect to EA's game servers caused network outages.Players reported experiencing frequent problems during gameplay due to the outages such as long loading times, disconnections, crashing, and loss of saved game data.The server problems and negative feedback led some publications to refer to the launch as "disastrous" and others have compared the launch unfavorably to that of "Diablo III", which experienced similar problems when it was first released.
