I have a hard copy of the game and it won't let me copy from the disk.

Question

I bought a hard copy of the game off of amazon.com at the same time my friend/roommate did and we got it today. We both started the installation process and his hard copy let him copy from the disk. I tried the same process and it is only letting me download the game from the internet. Why are our games different and forcing me to download the game instead of copy from the FOUR DISK i have as a hard copy.

Try to put Origin in Offline mode then run the installation from discs.

Answer

Incidentally, I had this problem too, I think. It was copying fine until I got to 89%, but when I popped the 4th disc in it slowed to a crawl and then stalled out completely about half a GB into the 4th disc. Tried it again, exact same thing.

I started over in offline mode and it worked. After it was done, I put Origin back online and it automatically started downloading the DLCs. Thanks to JoxerTM22 for the solution; that wouldn't have occurred to me!
