i just used Avast free trial SecureLine VPN and connected to Singapore. Also to solve the grey play button by using the Origin function to repair the game. It checked the files, reinstalled the game and then I could play.
Let me know if you can relaunch the game after quiting the game and origin and then disconnecting from the VPN and then rerun Origin.
For me, it showed the normal Release Date info, but i could still click on play.
Can you confirm this happens for you as well?
Nevermind, it was a lucky fluke, it stopped working, so VPN until the 23rd it is.

EA officially posted they couldnt care a less if you use a VPN, and they wont ban/block your account if you do.
I used Freedome VPN since they have a 5day free trial, installed, set to singapore and launched the game perfectly. Spent the last 7hours playing, and i'm now way past the trial point.
The game tell me that the date of release is not now and i must wait. the game don't start. 🤔
