    Hey @vP1xel, my last response was to a user who mentioned issues with Origin.

  • @EA_Darko so do you have any solutions for EA Desktop App because my credit card was just charged for EA Play Annual but the first game I tried downloading isn't downloading. Need for Speed: Heat

    There is a fix that a user found on the last page (May I specify a user) which is as simple as launching it in admin mode 😞

  • I’m currently downloading a game (to EA app NOT Origin) at a speed of 70-72kb. I’ve seen so many people who have reported the same download speeds. If it were a connectivity issue, it doesn’t make sense that so many different people in different places with different internet connections and plans are ALL reporting this same thing.

    I’ve been downloading ONE ☝️ game for the past TWO days and nights. This is after spending two days troubleshooting the app to make it run. I lowered my firewall, other security and all permissions.

    I’m only at 30% and this isn’t even including all the packs. I’m still here only because I have invested thousands of hours in this one version of the game, (+ a lot more on other versions). . If I were a new player, I wouldn’t be. I’d quit. I thought Origin was bad... smh.  

    It’s gut wrenching, knowing how much I have lost, already - ALL of my saves. All mods and cc. I’ve seen this is typical for way too many people.

    I am open to suggestions.Thanks in advance.

    Did you ever find a workaround or solution to slow download speeds?? I’m looking at 50% and 72kb (yes KB!!) on ONE game - haven’t even started w the packs, yet

  • @OkabeXR literally just clicked on the end of the thread to find the only answer that helped at all. Thanks! Ran it on administrator and it helped bring me from bytes and kb to MB.

    The problem with this fix is that it doesn't work, for me atleast. All i see is the Admin coming with bs gaslighting responses. Running admin mode did nada for me, my download will take 1470hr's at this pace.
