What happens when the bug occurs? The download speed of any title from EA is about 10% of the available bandwith from my ISP.
What do you expect to see? The download run at the highest available speed.

I did several things to solve this Problem but nothing of the following worked:

-(re-)install network drivers

-delete Cache

-reinstalled EA Desktop

-run in Dev. mode

-boot windows to safe mode

-change download location (SSD, several HDDs)

-set special Firewall rules

-open recommended Ports

I have a Gigabit connection wich brings about 110Mb/sec download speed in any gamelauncher but EA D. wich is downloading with 15Mb/sec max.

My Friends have no trouble downloading at higher speeds from the same server so I know its no server issue. I am able to download a game from

another launcher in parallel with no issues at all so its no problem of my connection either.

My PC specs are:

CPU: Ryzen 3900X

GPU: RTX 2070 Super

MB: Gigabyte X570 Gaming X

RAM: 32Gb 3000mhz

  • @8obbyLP Just to confirm, are you having the speed problem with Origin or EA Desktop application? Those are two different products, and your post keeps mentioning Origin but you posted this in EA Desktop reports, so there's a confusion.

    I indeed mixed up Origin and EA Desktop. I'm sorry for the confusion. The Problem applys for the EA Desktop Software and Origin as well as I found out... it seems like a specific connection problem to the EA servers but as I described, I have tried everything to optimise it, from Firewall rules to opening ports (wich is usally not helpful for downloading smth.) btw. I have no special Anti Virus installed or smth. that controlls the traffic elsewhere...

    So it could be a problem outside of the EA Software on my side but I honestly dont know whats causing it.
