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.

Something else worth the try would be to set Origin to safe mode downloading:

Into the App settings for Origin, select the Safe mode download from the Advanced settings tab, then restart Origin, and restart the update. 🙂

EA_Francois,

I appreciate the suggestion. When I got home from work today, Origin had somehow successfully completed it's task (and I didn't even think it was running). My save games seem to be present, so now I just need to find the Black Emporium. I thought it was accessed via the War Table, but I don't see it there. Hmmm, let me look through other parts of this forum, and I'm sure I'll find a clue.

It should be a new mission to unlock the area on the War Table, which costs no power. If your game is updated I'm not sure why it would be missing, I'll have a look at my own War Table to see if I see it. 🙂

EDIT:

Adding a screenshot! It's the pyramid at the top of my beautiful squiggly circle. Make sure you go download the update in Origin, I had to manually update my game. 🙂

Hope this helps.

  My colleague @EA_David also suggests joining the multiplayer servers to force synchronization after installing the update. Note that you don't need to actually play a session, just to get on to multiplayer mode. 🙂
