EA App keeps resetting my downloads

I know people are going to try and direct me to the other threads about this. But none of those solutions fixed my issue. I have cleared my cache, updated EA, made sure it's whitelisted in my firewall, ran it as administrator, restarted my pc, and even just waited. I waited and waited and it's been about 12 hours now but the download just keeps resetting every time it reaches 100% Then I watch it go through the whole process again endlessly. The game I am trying to play is Spore (classic) and I'm, of course, using the new EA App as it would not allow me to switch back over to origin

EDIT: So if anyone else is like me, and nothing was working. I tried this. Right click EA App>Click properties>Click compatibility tab (If that tab doesn't exist, the internet should have a tutorial somewhere, I forgot how to do it myself)>Click the check box next to "run in administrator mode"

This alone didn't fix my issue. After this I had to reload the app about 3 separate times (And yes, Each of those times was after a long download that failed) but once my pc actually registered that it was in administrator mode, things went smoothly. You should notice that when it gets to around 75% it will say "Finalizing." if that doesn't happen, chances are the download will fail and you should be able to do one of the resets before the 99% mark.

  • how do you tell if it is in administrator mode or does it give you a notification that it is running it in administrator after doing all the steps you provided

    @DaemonBx When you right-click on the EA App and go into properties, you will see an option for run as administrator.

    Happy to hear this is now working for you. This will help with others having the same issue and hopefully we can get them back in the game as well.
