Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

I found a solution on reddit that worked for me, I turned on my vpn (mozilla, closest server) and went from 16kB/s to at least 20mB/s but it likely kept climbing after I looked away.  My 14 hour update for 2042 was done in the time it took me to go take a leak.

  • IF you got a game through Xbox's Gamepass  - this is the solution for you. 

    Also - I'd like to reiterate that the community team here is garbage.

    1. Open powershell as administrator

    2. enter this command -> netsh interface tcp show global

    3. For me, "recieve window auto-tuning level" was set to disabled

    4. to enable it, enter this command -> netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

    5. enter the command in step 2 to verify it worked.

    Your solution works, and thanks for it!

    No need to disable any background programs or any anti-virus software.

    @HardcoreFinesseThis fixed it! My EAapp went from 1MB to 12MB You are an absolute champion. for those who cant be bothered finding the post (page 5, if this works for you consider giving him XP) this is the working solution from HardcoreFinesse.

    1. Open powershell as administrator

    2. enter this command -> netsh interface tcp show global

    3. For me, "recieve window auto-tuning level" was set to disabled

    @HardcoreFinesse I must say this solution seems to work flawlessly! As others have stated in this form, my download speeds were fluctuating from 20 MB/s down to practically zero. Once I followed your steps and resumed the download, the speeds instantly picked up to a suitable pace. I'm now fluctuating between ~15MB/s to ~30MB/s, which is what I would expect to be the usual case.

    The solutions put forward by EA mods here are crazy, no-one should be expected to launch apps in Administrator mode by default. Neither should they be expected to *close every other program* for one app to be able to function.

    Crazy how this app is still so poorly optimized given how long it's been out - is been 2 years since the first post in this thread and the problem is still present.
