Re: how to limit/throttle download speed in EA Desktop app ?

Hey I figured out a work around for making a custom limiter

in file explorer go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop

right click on the file that starts with "user_" and it will have a long number after

there is an option "user.throttle.bandwidthkbps="  just set it to whatever you want, just make sure you convert your Mbps to Kbps

save and restart ea launcher and your custom bandwidth limit is set!

    @vavxky2tzjay Thank you for this. I was having to download at an abysmal 1MB/s (about a quarter of my connection), I set it to 2250kbps (which is about 2MB/s and my go-to for any download rate). It seems to have worked so far. I did have to quit the app first, then set the rate at that file and then start it again though 🙂
