The release of Battlefield: Hardline in North America brought to light a problem for those who had played the title via EA Access; due to a bug in the game, who had already completed the prologue and the first episode of the campaign in exclusive preview version for Xbox One will now have to repeat the episode 1 in the final version of the game in order to progress in the story, otherwise the episode 2 will not be unlocked.

Fortunately something salvageable there is: EA did indeed know through a post on its website that firearms and valid points for the ranking will still be maintained by selecting "Replay Episode". If the item is selected "Start campaign" then all progress made in preview will be lost and will have to be replayed the Prologue. All the progress made in the area of online title will not be affected by this issue instead.

We are now running out: Battlefield: Hardline will arrive in Europe in two days, on March 20, for the Xbox 360 and Xbox.
