Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

EA is a joke and should stand for Early Access. They haven't put out one game that i can think of in the past couple years that is complete and ready to go at launch. with the exception of Jedi Fallen Order and NOW they royally screwed the pooch on this one and it's back to being a "game is good after the first year" type game and to top it off you can't even download a 2gb update in peace. I have been trying for 2 days and hace tried EVERY fix.....at the end of the damn game and i can't beat it cause even their stupid * app doesn't work. Always disappointed in EA but at least i could update a damn game in peace, now they put out broken games, broken apps, and broken updates lol and they don't have the common courtesy to fix it. I guess i'll be able to update this game in a year or so. pathetic smh

Have you askef for an refund yet? I know there is talk online about setting up a class action against EA. Individauls are pulling their TOS and speaking with attorneys because of the issues with this app. Not just Jedi Survivor, but that's the latest one. But several others as well. 

I finally found the solution for me, i went on task manager and right clicked on switch to details on EA Background Service and then i changed priorities from normal to high. For me it changed my download speed from 4mbs to 25mbs -30 mbs

The EA app is the worst app for downloading games, my wifi speed is consistently in the 900 mbps range when connected to ethernet and this pathetic app only download at 9 mbps. What is the point of having your own app if you cant even fix it for *.

Where did you find the option for the priority change in the task manager. i dont have that option.

3 GB update for battlefield took me 1 hour..... what a joke...
