BF 2042 DOSEN'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD ON EA APP

I initially installed bf 2042 on origin and yesterday i tried reinstalling the game with ea app but it doesn't work.

It tells me 'there is a probleme with your download, something went wrong during your download. give us a few minutes then try again'.

I tried every solution i have seen on the forum but nothing works.

So now i cannot play the game even though i have almost 300hours in the game just because i wanted to reinstall the game

    I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION, kind off .

    So what i did was take gamepass for a month, with the first month for 1$ and created a new ea account then link this new ea account to my game pass, then downloaded the game on this account.

    After that i switched to my main account and the game was visible in downloaded game.

    I hope this can help some people in my situation.

    P.S Once you have done this DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP THE GAME AN OTHER HARD DRIVE OR IN THE CLOUD

    bf 2042 will not download on ea app  and i did EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
    Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
    Allow a different game to start downloading till 15%, if successful, stop the download and try Battlefield again
    Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates
