Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

Product: EA Desktop
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Download Game
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 15.01.2021.17:03
Summarize your bug Slow download speeds only on my computer and not my friends (He's at my house)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open origin, download a game, look at the speed it is downloading at.
What happens when the bug occurs? The download speeds are limited to 12.5 Mb/s
What do you expect to see? I expect to see a download of 60Mb/s + since I have a 1000Mbp/s download speed.

My download speeds were stuck at 1.45Mb/s even though I have a 1000Mbp/s line, I created that EACore.ini file so origin launches in R&D Mode, and the speeds were bumped up to 12Mb/s. My friends are at my house and their pc's download at 80Mb/s. I also did a clean boot which made no difference to the download speeds, and Im downloading to a 1Tb nvme ssd drive.

I've bought new kat 6 ethernet cables, updated my bios and utilities, I've switched router ports and our ethernet cables. The only thing I could see it being is an issue with my firewall or a microsoft application limiting it, or maybe even a bios setting that I have no idea about.

My motherboard: ROG Crosshair VIII hero (WiFi)  If that helps

    @gonzo26120 Just to confirm your bug report is in the right place. Are you having this issue with Origin client? There is a separate forum for Origin, you posted this at EA Desktop, the new beta client that is supposedly replacing Origin at some point in future.
