My game is trying to download again?

So after a grueling 90GB download with my somewhat slow internet (I live in a remote area so i don't have the best internet), i finally got to 100% and the "any moment now" prompt in EA launcher. Then moments later it is reset and trying to download the whole thing again, then minutes later the launcher crashes and when i run it again it is truly starting over again. All that data spent for nothing ☹️. Is this some sort of glitch with the launcher? I have enough space in my PC for the game. What gives?

    Before installing the download, a little error check is done and if things don't match up, some (or all) of the download needs to be redone.

    This seems like a connection quality issue so connect to your router directly with a cable if you can.

    Thanks.

    Is this a metadata issue? Because i don't ever experience this problem on steam. If i ever had a connection problem that would cause some files to be missing or corrupt, I would still obtain 90% of the files and would simply verify my game files to download and fix any issues. I don't understand how i lose my files from this or have them overwritten automatically.

  • None of the so called 'fixes' worked for me. Tried all. Delete cach, clean start, donwload EAapp again. This app is just crap, it's awful and the EA transfer the responsability to fix to the costumers.

    I discover a very stupid workround for it, worked in my case. You set the game to download and set another game to download after. When he finshes the first download instead restart it 'over and over' he start the second, and you can play the first one. On both time i did it both of the games finished download. Once you put a qeue in download seems that both ends.
