Season 2 Update Stuck on 36% on Origin Launcher

Everytime I update this game, it gets stuck on 36% with no ETA on when the download will finish and option to pause or cancel update. The only way to pause/cancel update is to close out origin completely. But even with the option to pause/cancel, the Update GETS STUCK ON 36% AGAIN! Help! Is anyone else having this issue?

  • @lemstry The Fix i Know That works for that case i tested in another games is going on your page where apex legends is and just change the name of the page to apex legends2
    And you download should start again


    Hope this quick tip help you out

    Let me Know !

  • Afternoon everyone!

    I was having the same issue but eventually I found out my hard drive space was full. At first it didn't tell me that, I happened to be looking in my Windows Explorer and saw a nice big Sith lightsaber on my C:\ drive space. If that is the case for you, feel free to delete some older stuff that may be filling up your HDD. If not, hopefully there will be some more solutions coming in!

    @Xesque_Che Thank you so much this worked. My folder name was Apex I renamed it to Apex2 like you said. The update restarted for some reason and it said it will be playable at 39%. I left it alone and went to bed as soon as I woke up the game is fully updated. Thanks once again my friend.

    the reason why it worked is the fact that when you keep the name of the folder as apex, the lancher will make an update of the game, but when you change it the lancher will not find any game to update so the full download of the game will start. the original problem is not that the update is stuck but the instalation that will happen when the game reach the playable point is stuck ... thats really suck some ppl have a really weak net connection and have to wait day to download it again ... disapointed ... 

  • can i request a screenshot where the exact folder is needed to rename?

    ok just found a solution that will avoid to download the game from begining, you have to go to the folder where the game is installed and then delete all the files ( only files, dont delete folders ), you have to close origin before ofc, open origin again and it will download for 100mo files and start to install the game again, few seconds after the game will be playable and the update will continue 🙂

    @Ivannavii10
    You need to go on your HDD or sdd where apex legends is located and you need to change the name of the folder
    e.g. "apex legends" to "apex legends2"
