Re: EA Desktop Won't Let Me Download Games

Clearing cache works for me:

It's a little out of date - the file paths are different.

The first folder to delete is actually 'EA Desktop' in ProgramData.

As for the second lot of folders to delete, the path is correct this time but the folders still different. I just deleted 'EAConnect_microsoft', 'EADesktop', 'EALaunchHelper' and 'Electronic Arts'. Although really I've just moved them in case I deleted one I shouldn't have.

It seems I have to do it every time I download a game.
