Problem installing the game in EA App for PC

Question

I have BF 2042 in a box on discs. Due to a slow internet connection, I tried to install the disc game, but it installs the old origin app, which in turn forces me to update to the EA app and won't let me install from the disc. So I installed the EA app and started downloading the game. After downloading (24h) the game started to download again automatically! After the second time (a total of 48 hours), it started downloading again after the download was complete. Can someone explain to me how to install BF 2042? Because it's just funny that I bought the game, and because of the wrong application that is not created for people with slow internet (10mb) and at the same time the inability to install from the disc, I did not even run it

I am just trying to install Mass Effect Andromeda from DVD and not able to do it. I tried to switch back to Origin but it did not let me to install it cause it want to install EA App. So when I update back to EA app it wants Origin again. I dont know why those people who work for EA are so stupid that they had to f*ck this up so much. Not everyone wants to download every game he has on disc. Stupid, stupid and absolutely stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brainless idiots.

I am trying it for an hour and nothing. Who will give me my time back? I could have spent it so much better :-/

Ok, I just tried this:&nbsp;You have to avoid this update for EA app for a while. So just try this steps in the video:&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy6AC5F78WEThen you have to change date in your system on 1st of February 2023. Otherwise it will change back in the folder. EA "repaired" it. When you install the game and update it. Change back to normal date in the system. It will force you to install again EA app. It should recognize the installed game and you can play it without downloading.&nbsp;I hope it will work for you. I waste whole day trying to instal Mass Effect: Andromeda.&nbsp;
