downloading update keeps failing (PC)
Three times now the patch has failed to download resulting in an error (I didn't copy down the error, but I will if it happens again).
First, the size of the download can vary from each attempted download. Such as when I first tried to update it said 1.90gb, then it changed (during the same download) to around 560 megs and just a few minutes ago it said 1.75gb, and now it's changed to 1.90gb.
Second, when it does say 560 megs it'll keep downloading past that and the time to completion will jump up to some huge number.
Each time it's downloaded somewhere around 800-900 megs before it fails, forcing me to cancel and restart the download.
I have tried restarting the download, Origin, and my computer in a few basic attempts to resolve this issue, but none have worked. Since I'm on DSL it takes 2-3 hours to reach the point where it'll fail, so it's hard to troubleshoot when the failure is not always apparent sooner. I'm sure there are a few other things I could try that I'm failing to think of, but atm I'm at a loss.
I'm going to try and reinstall Origin now and see how that goes.
EDIT::
Just reinstalled Origin and started the download. The size says 1.90gb, so I guess I'll just have to wait a few hours to see if the issue is resolved.
And... it didn't work. Download said 1.90gb for the first 100 megs and now it says 541.09 megs.
The same thing was happening to me.
When it fails, cancel the update.
Right click on the game in your Library, Repair Install, and it'll work.
I tried letting it work on its own for about 10hrs and finally gave up, but I tried that before going to bed.
It worked for me!
Hope it helps.
