"Online pass required" error

I've been trying to get Co-op working again after a couple of years of inactivity to prepare myself for Andromeda. However, apparently I ran into an old glitch, which isreally weird because I'm on PC. I tried contacting support using live chat but nobody ever picked up the case.

Has anybody had this before and if yes, how did you get around it?

Just ignore it and go into MP.

Did you get banned back in the day?

No, last time I played was last summer, I ran into this last fall but didn't have time to find out what was going on.

I've had people with this issue, to fix it most times they just restarted the game. It's an issue with the game downloading your online pass entitlement at the main menu. Online pass is free these days so everyone (except banned people) have it.

It's been a few years since that happened to me, but I contacted EA support via twitter and it was fixed within 15 minutes. So, try twitter?

Happened to me a couple months ago. Had EA support call me. Guy was able to fix it pretty quickly.
