Hello guys ! Since BF1 is one of the most unique shooters out there I just had the itch to relieve the first implementation of operations so I decide to download the game on the now EA app. So the download starts. And finishes. Then starts again. Finishes and starts again for like the 11th time now. I've tried just starting the download over, cleaning cache, cleaning temporary files, reinstalled EA app, running the app as administrator through properties. Nothing. Had it "finish" downloading only to loop again. The only progress we've made now is that I cancelled the download and when trying to start it again I can't reason being I lack disk space event I have enough for 2 BF1s. If its of importance I'm running windows 11. I can't seem to download it on either one of my two drives with the free space.
Picture shows where I'm stuck on after last cancellation of install.

Hey @JuicierJamba
To confirm have you tried all of the following as well?
- EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
- Connection and Advance Connection Guides
- Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
- Close other running applications on your device
- Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Restart your device in Clean Boot mode, then just try running the client and game
So I managed to fix the issue by buying the game on an actually competent launcher (Steam). Suck I had to buy the game a second time, but battlefield 1 is so good its one of the few games I would do that for. Please fix your launcher before making anymore games because this is not the first time I've had an issue that completely stopped me from having access from a game I payed money for.
