How do I download my new game through Origin?
You can download your purchased titles at any time by visiting the My Games tab in the Origin client.
To download a game in Origin, launch the Origin client, and log in to your account.
Locate the My Games tab and hover your mouse over the game you want to download.
Just click the orange Download button that appears when you mouse-over and begin your download.
Sometimes your games won’t run because you don’t have the right permissions on your computer. Get around this by running Origin as an administrator:
- Close the Origin client.
- Right-click the Origin client icon on your desktop, or in the Origin directory if not on your desktop, and select Run As Administrator.
This will run the Origin client as an administrator and should allow the game to install. If you are still unable to install the game, please follow these steps:
- Close the Origin client.
- Click the Windows button and type "UAC" in the search field.
- In the User Access Control window that appeared, click-and-hold the slide bar and slide it to the lowest setting available.
- Click Ok at the bottom of the window.
- Open the Origin client and attempt to complete the game install by clicking "Install" on the selected game.
Please keep us updated.
