Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

Hey @shastridev001 

If the download speed is slow on the EA app, please make sure to close any background apps and run the EA app as an admin. 

Spoiler

1. When you've located the file, right-click it to open its context menu. Then, select "Properties."
2. Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.

3. Check the option next to "Run this Program as Administrator."
4. To apply this new choice, click "Apply" and then "OK" to exit the window.

    Blaming it in the myriad of things you do is weak. This isn't an issue of:

    - Background apps

    - Not being connected to the internet via cable
    - Caches

    It is on the other hand an issue of a * service.
    I have high speed internet, and with Steam, Xbox, even the Ubisoft launcher downloads at over 200MBs
    Your app doesn't even manage 10MBs, and this is when it runs at full throttle, on average, it sits at 1-3MBs, which is abysmal, given the size of your games data. And this download speed only comes AFTER failing to download with cryptic, non informative errors multiple times... I can write better software than this ffs... Maybe you guys need to focus on fixing this crap, instead of finding 100001 ways to monetize BS. Oh wait? Do I need the fast download speed DLC?
