Hello, don't worry these problems can easily be fixed. Have you guys tried clearing your cache, and afterwards trying to download the update again?

  1. If Origin is running, close it by clicking Origin in the menu bar then Exit.
    • Double-check that Origin is fully closed. If it isn’t, you won’t be able to complete all the steps.
    • To double-check, open Task Manager and go to Processes. Make sure that Origin.exe and OriginWebHelperService.exe aren’t there. If they are, end the tasks to close them.
  2. Hold the Windows key + R.
  3. In the command box that opens, type %ProgramData%/Origin then click OK.

    Command box with text inside.

  4. Delete all the files and folders inside it except for LocalContent. Do not delete this folder.

    Origin folder with LocalContent folder highlighted. Do not delete this folder.

    • If you’re on Windows XP, you’ll find the ProgramData folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Electronic Arts\
  5. Hold the Windows key + R again.
  6. In the command box that opens, type %AppData% then click OK.

    Command box with text inside.

  7. In the Roaming folder that opens, delete the Origin folder.
  8. Click on AppData in the address bar.

    Address bar with AppData highlighted.

  9. Open the Local folder.
  10. Delete the Origin folder in there.
  11. Restart your PC and log back into Origin.

  • i dont think you need to do all this... just stop the download, right click on the title you want to download and click on repair and it wont get stuck anymore, worked for me, ive been trying to update the game for hours only 50mb left and it kept stopping.. so annoying
