I'm in South Korea and the while the game is unlocked it wont load single player and just sticks on the loading screen.
I managed to get into a MP game just as it was finishing and then the server went down.
EA Releases always fun....
Both SP and MP have been absolutely fine for me. However, I'm aware that there are always issues for a minority of people out there. The DirectX issue seems to be the big one this release.
