Crossover Origin Not Downloading Games

Hello there, I have the program Crossover on my mac. Using it, I downloaded the PC version of Origin using it and it loaded up fine. Displayed in front of me were all the games that came with the C&C Ultimate Collection available to download. I tried downloading one of them and it just stalls on 'preparing download'.  I've looked everywhere online and I've come up with nothing.

So, what I would like to do, would to (in a private email) recieve the precice direct download link for my games. The links that would in essence bypass the Origin download manager. I know this is possilbe, but I just don't know the EXACT link. It contains my product code and a bunch of mumbo jumbo. I really would like to play these games again. Some of them I haven't played in more than a decade.

Again, I know this is possible, I read somewhere that you can do this by accessing the .manifest file in the install folder and selecting the address and pasting into your browser where it would juist download the product.

If this is not possible then I would either a refund (while keeping the games) or a hard copy of the game's install files. 

Regards,

~JP

  • @JPSaylor JP did you ever find a solution to this? I just had the same exact thing happen with C&C Ultimate purchase, and the Origins Client (downloaded Mac version, not PC like you did tho) will not let me acquire any individual downloads, probably simply recognizing I'm on a Mac. Please let me know. BM
